Evening all, Blower just given up on my car... think it's sad as I'm looking at moving her on! Anyway - got the blower and resistor(s) out, but the symptoms don't match anything obvious from searches on the forum, so your thoughts appreciated! All fuses already checked, appear OK. Have...

fine looking V6 for sale on AT for 7K (not mine) Rather like the grill, never seen one like this before, is it a genuine Alfa option?

Hello all, I've been looking through the forum and can't find anything on this so thought I'd ask. My airbag light came on a while ago so consulting this excellent forum bought a switched interface and downloaded Multiscan. Got those two things talking to each other and then today had a go at...

I haven't posted on here for months now, but I have kept an eye on developments in the world of Giulia ownership in general, with my particular interest being in the Quadrifoglio. I took delivery very early in April this year and like most owners, quickly came to admire and appreciate the...

Hi folks, My GT just failed its MOT on a worn front nearside tyre (a thin strip along the inside edge was down to the inner ply). I've never seen a tyre wear like this before. The offside tyre could be going the same way I reckon. The inspector has also flagged slight play in the lower...

Hi, my 2002 spider has an intermittent fault on its electric roof. Usually when you first try to drop the hood the rear of the roof unlocks ok then attempts to lift the window section but doesn't complete,lock it again and retry normally takes three attempts then the window section will lift and...

Hi guys, just trying to solve a alfa mystery regarding a carpet I removed from a ph 2 54 plate twin spark. To me when I wiped it out everything was fine along with a few on other bits and bobs I picked up. Anyway comparing the carpet sides they are different, I have compared these carpet sides...

Hi guys. I've had my 166 3.0 Sportronic for a few months now and have been meaning to post a little introduction and hello, but never seemed to get round to it. I bought the car off here from a member called Wibble, this is my 4th Alfa, and I think my first 'friday afternoon' one.... Sadly that...

Hi, I have an unusual problem with my AR 156 SW 2.4 JTD 110kW. I have searched the web and found no answer to my issue. Please read carefully before posting the usual suspects. The issue is that the engine cuts out while driving. It has happened a few times now and each time I felt a barely...

My Spider's VIN number is ZARBA5413G1043750. And it is very legible. All the VIN's in the forums that I have seen don't have letters in the 4th and 5th positions. Also, when I purchased a replacement AC compressor for that model year from IAP, the unit would not fitted on the engine block...

2012 MiTo with 75k miles on it and with genuine floor mats from new. We've noticed an odd patch of wear between the pedals and cannot figure out where it has come from. It is slightly to the right of the brake pedal and too far back for where I rest my heel: that's worn a big hole in the mats...

The car key was in MAR position and while changing the headlight bulb I could hear a buzz that I can only describe as an electrical buzz. It seemed to be coming from what I think is a little sensor just above the top plenum where the V6 24 V sign is embossed. Is this something normal? Thanks...

I have a 2002 156 1.8ts. My car recently started to get a light vibration through all rpms higher than 2000. I didn't think much of it but now I have an unusual noise coming from the engine. Its more of like a rattling sound ( I posted a link to the vid). It sounds like it is coming from under...

Selling a car sometimes puts you in contact with people you might not meet normally - for better or worse. I've just had an unusual and very pleasant car selling experience but I'm sure it can go the other way too. So pray tell your good and bad car selling experiences. Here's mine: Bought a...
