That's about right Alex! Awful... Do you know what's up with yours?

Will do Alex. No Smiffy, it's not blue... it's grey and there doesn't seem to be great clouds of the stuff, but it does whiff a bit... :-)

Oil consumption is now through the roof... Worn piston rings perhaps, because there is no leak. It must be going out of the exhaust. ('02 JTS piggy thing...) Smaky - Just tried to PM you but you can't accept any more PM's... Daff.

Thanks Dee... It hasn't returned - Yet. (I don't trust this pig as far as I could throw it...) :Big Grin:

Yep... I've unplugged it and reconnected. Worked last time...

Started up the bloody pig this morning and received the most unwelcome 'Motor Control System Failure - Go to Stealer'. Fat chance... Plugged in the Netbook and Code P0150 - Lambda 2 signal above Catal present. Cleared code and restarted engine. No repeat of MCSF message. Restarted again and MCSF present. Cleared the P0150 code and so far it hasn't come back, but I'm sure it will. Alex - it may be that 'dodgy' plug (if you remember...). Any ideas please chaps and chappesses? (2002 156 JTS 2.0)

I have, on occasion, seen a Spider parked in my quiet little close. It turned out it belongs to a guy on the 'other place'. So, I've got another Alfa chappie a few doors away. I thought I was alone in the world...

I like the red one too. Harry, can I have it then?

:Drooling: I'm on it!

Well Alex, the crack in the cover seems to be fine. It's the other side now - the LH side as you look at the bugger. Got a 5 litre bottle in the boot and I check it every second day. It loses anywhere between 0.5 and 0.75 of a litre in that time!!!

Quite so Munks... No time off until 28th August. It'll have to wait until then. Fucking car...

I said something similar Alex... Thought all that was finished...

:Big Grin: :Big Grin: :Big Grin:

From the rocker cover seal - left hand side this time... I swear that I'm going to wrap this bastard car around a lamp post if she doesn't stop pissing me about...

Fucking car......

Thanks Munks, I'll grab my biggest, heaviest hammer and give the bastard a good 'fixing'. Wouldn't do any good of course, but at least I'd enjoy smashing 7 bells of shit out of the bastard thing... :Black Eye:

Thanks Alex. New switches then... Not very serious is it? I quite fancy an engine fire next. Something really expensive, as usual... :Big Grin:

Hi Guys, Passenger's front window... My passenger can lower the window but can't close it (No response) - I can't lower the window but can close it... Any ideas please? Thanks, D.

Bastard (The vehicle formerly known as Alfie or Bella) has its MOT on the 11th. I'm not anticipating good news... Just a feeling...

Thanks Anje! I got what I needed courtesy of David C on the 'other place'. If anyone needs this manual, please gizza shout. Thanks again, D.

Hi All, Do any of you good folks know where I can get me mits on a manual for the original Radio/CD player fitted in my JTS? I've got a reasonable idea what's what after weeks of 'playing', but would really like to RTFM! Thanks, Daff.

Just ordered mine...

Well, I can't see anything that's obstructing the wheel. I haven't had the time to take the wheel off yet, but I'll try to do that this weekend (I'm at work all over Easter, so should be quiet...). She's still having a whistle to herself on startup, but only when she's cold. Weird... (No further problems with oil. I don't have a leak. That, at least, is good news...) I'll take the wheel off today or tomorrow/Sunday and let you know. D.

Quite possibly vigorous top-ups! As I found out yesterday... Had to get cleaning again... :-)

Ah, Thanks Alex - I'll give her another clean... D.
