Oooh PR Post applied for....

Do it. 2.0 20V.... Great cars. Big end has a tendency to go due south but overall, comfortable, fast, tunable and fun.

OBD port on a 147. Is it to the right of the steeringwheel behind the grey panel? Ta

Really? The box must be screwed then.... Ta

Nope... Android app update makes it run more smoothly Ta

Is this a pretty heavy job? With exception of the obv.. Ie gearbox, clutch etc is there anything id need to convert? Do i need to fettle with the ecu¿ Ta

Does anyone have a wiper motor thatll fit the 147 kicking about? Its one of the things I need to sort before it goes for an MOT. Ta

The overboost / surcharger Value codes are a baffling one. I replaced map, maf and long shot crank sensor, cleared all the codes, fettled with the actuator and checked over EVERY pipe with fairy liquid and a short length of hose to pinpoint any hissing. NOTHING. Still have the pesky EML when I hit 3.5/4.0k revs and limp mode for 5 seconds. Have you developed the "policecar in the distance" whistle from the turbo yet? Ta

Thanks for the replies chaps and chappettes. When I pick her up on Friday I'll start getting pics and I'll pop up a thread. Ta

Ok. I'll grab a copy of the licensed version. Thanks for your help. Ta

Easy... Multipla. Still the only original design on our roads. Ta

Ok. Thanks for the reply. Will the trial MES be able to sort out the calibration do you know? Thanks in advance. Ta

As she won't be my main car she'll be a project to keep me entertained over the winter, spring and summer. I was thinking maybe a restoration/project thread? Im in Dover, Kent so Im sure there'll be a few events going on and I may well bring the black barge with me (my Multipla) . Ta

Oh I've not sorted it just yet lol. I've posted a question in the relevant section soooo hopefully that'll shed some light. Alfas are a new(ish) breed to me and im getting the 147 for peanuts so it won't be too horrendous to cut my teeth on. Thanks for the welcomes btw much more friendly than other Alfa Owners forums I've registered on. ;-) Ta

Thank you please :-) You ain't wrong, I think I've sussed the Selespeed issue already. Ta

Hi Chaps, Im about to embark on a journey of descovery into Selespeed on a soon to be aquired 147 2.0 TS. According to my colleague (the current owner) there is a pipe from the reservoir to the pump (Ive never seen a selespeed box or its set up so i dont know) that needs replacing as its dropping pressure and causing odd skipping of the gears at low speeds/town driving but its fine on motorways etc. Is this likely to be the case? I own the "trial" version of MES (i drive a fiat so its essential stuff) will that be able to deal with the calibration etc? Many thanks in advance. Ta

Hi folks. I'm just about to hand over some cash for a 147 2.0TS Selespeed. Guess what? There be problems with that there box.... Much forum searching me thinks. I also own a Fiat Multipla 1.9 JTD ELX which I love, so im no stranger to Italian "quirkyness". Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself to you chaps. Ta
