Turns out to be that resistor just above the radiator that controls the fan speeds when it gets hot, small drain going through that.
-
Update, not the battery at fault but something that is draining the battery.
Put a new battery in Thursday, didn't use the car at the weekend, and it was dead with the dashboard disco yesterday morning,
So now I guess I have to hunt the drain.
-
Nope no dashboard disco, which is why I didn't suspect the battery.

Update, battery wasn't full of life
Battery completely dead, now to find out what's killed it.
-
Update, I didn't have my multimeter at work yesterday, but I just checked across the terminals and it's reading 11.43 volts.surely the starter would attempt at that voltage?

Alfa 156 selespeed 2000
Got in the car to go home after work and it wouldn't start, won't even turn over, after, when you let the key spring back you here a clonk, which I'm guessing is the starter, battery full of life, thought the engine may have seized, but I got it to turn over by selecting 3rd and pushing it forward a couple of feet, all leads are tight, any ideas?
-
Was the lower wishbone rear bush like you said, coupled to someone attempting to steal my alloys but gave up when they found the locking wheel nuts.
-
It's now banging away when I come of the throttle.

Evening folks
Anybody got any ideas as to a clunk that I can feel through my left foot when moving forward after reversing in my 156 ?
-
Yeah I can understand that feeling, its pissing down with rain and the nuts holding the hub in place came off easily enough, but getting the bolts out is an entirely different Morphy Richards of haddock,
What a pain in the cock this is turning into.
-
Looking through the paperwork it needed three shocks to pass the last Mot and had the last one as an advisory, guess the previous owner just hadn't got round to it.
-
Just looked all over the car (went to spray wd40 on what I expect to be seized) to find three new shocks already fitted, hmmm this is getting interesting
-
Well that was interesting,
Just driving across town and there was a pop from the rear followed by a serious rubbing noise, looked under the rear arch and the shock bottom collar had parted ways and was being forced against the tyre.
Luckily there was a brand new rear strut in the boot when I bought the car ( coincidence?)
-
Hi folks,just noticed the latest acquisition has a half pint catch tank coming off the selespeed fluid reservoir.
What's its purpose? Is it a solution or a "bodge"
-
I won't wrestle anymore with it then
-
Finished, the duff one had spat its innards out the back, yay back on the road again, thanks
-
Quick question peoples,
Will I find the cabling for the rear sub/amp thing in a non Bose car?
-
Just the reassurance I needed
-
Ah not an indicator of what's happened then?
Well I'm halfway through pulling the pas system out the latest acquisition,
Already pulled the system out the donor car.
Would have probably finished it were it not for my magical self hiding spanners,
My only worry is that if I can't see any obvious fault it is going to turn out to be the rack that's karked.
-
It appears that the reservoir is pressurising and blowing the cap off, at least that's the only thing I could come up with after opening the bonnet and finding fluid everywhere and the cap resting next to where it should be.
-
Oops forgot that, 2 litre twinny
-
Picked up the latest car and its had the cambelt done at 58869 in 2013 its now at 81967 so I'm safe for another how many miles?
-
Well I have picked it up, put some power steering fluid in and no leak that I could find, power steering still wasn't working,
Previous owner said that when it stopped working it was being driven when it "went bang and there was fluid everywhere"
Any ideas?
Abs Light On After Replacement Sensor Fitted
in General Tech Help
Posted · Report reply
Afternoon folks.
Recently replaced upper and lower wishbones on my 147, had to get a replacement hub carrier and fitted a new Abs sensor.
Now I have the abs and asr warning lights up, what information should I be getting from the multimeter? Or is there something I have not done when fitting the new one?
P.s. bloody thing is still knocking over bumps
