2.4JTD Clutch by
[email protected]
Hello,
I have a 2001 156 2.4JTD, with 78,000 miles (125,000Km) on the clock.
I have noticed that the clutch has begun to smell of burning when the
engine is under load, although it doesn't seem to slip much - 90mph
(145kmh) is at 3,000 rpm as it always has been.
Does it sound like I need a new...

2.4JTD Gearbox by
Nick
Hi,
My car is a 2001 156 2.4JTD (140bhp).
The gearlever has recently stopped centring itself on the 3rd/4th gear plane
which makes changing gear a bit more difficult. Occasionally I select 1st
when I want 3rd, and 2nd when I want 4th - not ideal!
There seems to be no 'spring' in the gearlever at...

social commentary, performance art or smut? by
[email protected]
I just came across the website for a video called "hunting for bambi".
>From the looks of it, it seems to be a low-brow stab at the OLN/Playboy
genres of cable networks, but also comes across as a misogynist
celebration of gun culture. Does anybody have any insight or opinions
as to what else it...

Apologies for repeating postings by
Nick Evans
Apologies for the repeat postings - my software kept coming back with
a 'server too busy' message - but clearly it wasn't!
I would appreciate any help on the issues, if you can be bothered to
get to the end of the repeat questions :-(

WHY SO CHEAP?
Do you know every year, thousands of great bargain opportunities
appear and disappear all around without you even knowing it. There are
so many bargains! In fact, the person next to you on the freeway could
very well be driving a near new car that cost only $550!

Re-setting air-bad warning light 147 by
redTed
I've been told it's a simple, 5 minute job to do, but not how it's done. I'm
a bit wary of getting Alfa dealers to do it because I know they are going to
stick me with a minimum labour charge in the region of £50-60 .
If it's an easy job, would some kind soul explain how it's done ?
Car is 2001...

156 Fuel guage illumination by
[email protected]
The background illumination of the fuel guage in my 156 has failed and
the readout is very dim and difficult to read....especially at night!
Anyone got any idea how easy it is to remove the console fascia and set
about a bulb replacement or is this something for a dealer only.
Any advice greatly...
