Been trying to source a replacement crankshaft pulley for my 1.9 jtdm. I've tried euro car parts and now ebay and they're both different. My original one has a recessed centre whereas the new one has a solid centre. I think the original bolts won't be long enough. Should I just fit it with...

Hi everyone. It is my turn to solve the dreaded M32 problems this car has. The bright side is that I see that this gearbox has become well known and the fixes seem less scary than they there 5 years ago. Problem is, we don't have workshops who specialize in those gearboxes specifically since...

Hi guys, Has anyone upgraded their clutch to handle a remap or used a lightened flywheel or done a solid flywheel conversion. It's for an alfa Romeo 159 2.4 q4 manual I'm New to the forum but not to cars. I don't need the pros and cons just where on earth i get the parts to do it! Am I looking...

Hi all, This is my first post so first of all I would like to say hello. I recently purchased an Alfa 159 2.2 JTS TI and I'm LOVING it. One slight problem that wasnt apparent at the time is the gearbox is showing some of the tell-tale signs that its on the way out. I have found a transmission...

Is it safe to assume that ios10 + isn't really very compatible with B&M? New iPhone yesterday. Got it streaming Spotify after a bit of faffing but it was working. Stopped for fuel and set off again. Now wouldn't work and my B&M completely shut down. Nothing was working. Stopped and turned off...

Hi all, Have posted in the ICE forums but thought I would let you all know. The dealer has managed to get my UConnect updated so that I've now been able to update the TomTom map (free using latest map guarantee) as well as a whole host of other improvements. Since the update the screen is now...

Hello all, just to let you know there is an update for UConnect which take it to version 6. I've just returned from the Dealership and after some time working together to test the update I'm pleased to say all is good. I will upload some pics when I get chance but there are a few changes. The...

I've updated to version 9.0 and successfully paired my iPhone 5 to the system. I can make and receive calls but I can't get my music to play through the car's speakers. What have I missed?

I have an earlyish Brera and need to replace the inner track rods. I have seen that I canget the newer fatter type cheap through ecp (about £20) but have read that my gaiters won't fit. So where can I get new style gaiters or should I try and buy the early style track rods instead and keep my...
