As per title, after yesterday’s snowstorm I had to get up a hill to get back home. Approaching uphill the car seemed to be doing ok until I started losing grip. The engine seemed to keep “blipping” while losing power and there was a “click click” sound coming from under the steering wheel rack...

So When I am driving my brakes are making a constant squeak, I think it seems to happen more and louder when I steer towards the right. It sounds as if it is coming from the back, but I only had my rear pads / Discs done 3 weeks ago. I'm also getting a loud squeak from when using the brakes...

Hi All Recently I noticed that there is a loud squeak whilst driving slowly, eg. Pulling away or parking up. It's not the brakes as it happens when Im not touching them. It's only just happened and I've look about on the net and can't seem to find anything concrete answers behind the...

I will be parking up my 159 SW off site for 4 weeks shortly and I know that the battery will slowly discharge over that time because of the electronics in the car. There is a 12v power point in the boot and I wondered if I could connect an auxiliary battery here to trickle charge the main...

Hello there, this is my first post so I'm hoping i follow all the etiquette correctly. I was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue with the brera. When im accelerating into a corner at speeds over 80km/h, I get a shuttering in my turn. Only in right corners, it's this strange vibration...

Hi all, I have read many threads on the Giulietta suspension set up, and know about various setups, possible upgrades, and also about possible damper fails. I have a 12/2011 Giulietta 1.4TB MA, with a Sport Pack II in Germany. (I think veloce in UK?), It's the Sport pack which comes with 18"...

Hi guys. I have a 62 plate Mito 1.3 JTDM 33k miles. Had the car just over 2 months and done about 6k miles in it. When car is idling I notice I get a lot of feedback from the engine (steering wheel & mirrors shacking etc). It's really bugging me as my friend has the same model and a year...

Hi everybody I'm experiencing an ongoing issue with my 2006 Alfa 147 JTD 150. This all started after getting my EGR mapped out at Autolusso last year. When cruising along at light throttle in any gear, there is a consistent and noticeable judder / pulsing sensation that can be felt throughout...

Hi all as title suggests whilst pulling away and just before I come to a stop I get a creaking sound from the passenger side of the car, I origionally thought it was coming from the back now I suspect that it is the front. I have replaced lower wishbones, upper wishbones, drop links, shocks and...

I've just come back from a run out in by face-lift model 916 Spider (Sept 04) and whilst driving the wheels would suddenly flick from side to side independently of the steering wheel - not enough to be dangerous, but unnerving nevertheless. It was particularly noticeable when accelerating away...

Morning All, Nipped to the local shops last night and when setting off from the lights gave it a little boot and the traction control kicked in violently as it wasn't exactly dry... so I backed off then accelerated again. But then coasted to a stop at the next lights to hear what sounded like a...

Hi guys looking for a little advice I was cruising down the M1 yesterday around 70-80ish when the car just suddenly cut out the zero power and as soon as i dipped the clutch it just died, pulled over it wouldn't restart tried again about 10-15seconds later and it fired back up started...

The wifes Spider 2.2 JTS has some mold around the inside of the area where the hood sits when in down position. It is not possible to access it during the hood in motion mode, as I really want to keep both hands working!! Is it safe to stop the hood in motion half way through so I can access...

I have done this before and it took loads of attempts. I need to adhere a small section of body skirt that has come away. I have a load of the sikaflex adhesive but it takes forever and a day to dry. Last time I used bucket loads of gaffer tape with varying success. Is there a better way...

Done? As above, anything else I should think about doing whilst the clutch is being done on sat?

Hi. Bit new to this so bear with me. My 2002 156 2.4 jtd intermittently cuts out while driving. Leave for a minute and it restarts. Happened 3 times on way home today going about a minute between fails. All other electrics are fine when this happens. This first happened a few months ago and...
