  • What car do you drive?
    ALFA 155
  1. What fuel does it say to use in the handbook ?? Mine originally had to be 95RON, but since the re-map, should be 97 or above, and runs much better on higher octane fuels. I also get more miles out of a tank of fuel using higher octane fuels.
  2. I have a similar problem on my wife's 1.6 147, '05 model. Can't get reverse. After a little while reading other people woes with the same sort of problems, and also getting confirmation from Day and White's at Brands Hatch, it seems the likely culprit is the gear linkage cable support bracket that sits on top of the gearbox. This also causes a lack of centering, and a floppy stick. The part cost me just under £40., and takes about an hour to change including removing battery tray. Gonna be replacing today, so will let you know if that cures problem. Apparantly D+W change these on quite a few cars, think he said about 50 in the last 3 years.
  3. Have you forgotten about Jim Clark ? Here's a brief extract from Wiki : James "Jim" (or "Jimmy") Clark, Jr OBE (4 March 1936 – 7 April 1968) was a British Formula One racing driver from Scotland, who won two World Championships, in 1963 and 1965. Clark was a versatile driver who competed in sports cars, touring cars and in the Indianapolis 500, which he won in 1965. He was particularly associated with the Lotus marque. He was killed in a Formula Two motor racing accident in Hockenheim, Germany in 1968. At the time of his death, he had won more Grand Prix races (25) and achieved more Grand Prix pole positions (33) than any other driver. The Times placed Clark at the top of a list of the greatest Formula One drivers in 2009 He competed in all types of racing, as you can see above, and with none of the modern assists.
