  1. ZAS902 it is. Having a bit of a job finding the right shock absorbers for the front.

     

    Out of curiosity which were better the BOGE (1 piece?) strut or the Spica with insert

    The boge are good the only benefit with the others is you can actually change the shock (insert) which gives you a choice to fit konis and a couple of others iirc ?


  2. It should say on the plate under the bonnet .

    You normally have a chassis code and a spares code. I think on those there was a cutout type plate on the inner wing . And on the suds the chassis no. Was stamped on the cross bar on the top of the bulkhead between the heater box and the engine bay .


  3. Find yourself a nice 3.0 manual your spirit will soon come back.

    I'm in a mind at the mo to get a little basic cheap as chips cinquecento to run about in and keep the money and spend it on the 164.

    To be honest unless you go out of your way where I am to find a decent bit of road you never get above 40 mph so as long as the stereo drowns out the traffic and takes your mind of the stop start boredom it doesn't matter too much.

    Mentally you must remind yourself that the accident was not due to yours or anyone else's driving .

    Over the years I ve had a few close calls but it was my love of the alfa that got me through.

    Try not to mull over it too much . :)


  4. Never understood the excess its ok if you have a new car as its just a small amount but on the older cars like yours its half the value .

    Makes you wonder what they are insuring you for.

    I know its a legal requirement but the less you have the more important the small amounts become .not fair :cry:

    G, if its the 'getting there' which is the trouble Im going to wales in a couple of weeks so if you were interested & wanted a lift....Im going to chepstow if thats any use? Not sure which bit of wales he lives in though

    Thanks LJ . Really kind of you to offer but just been told I can't have anymore till I've got one of the ones I've got working .

    Which is fair enough I suppose .

    Oh yeah I'm down in Brighton ,well hove same thing.

    Thankyou again. Really good of you . ;)


  6. Here is the update on my alfa, I now have all my gears all working, It was the gear lever, a new one in and all is well, or was till a young lad decided to run into the back of me yesterday, hope this helps some one having the same problems. And thanks to all who helped

    Does that mean after all that the car has been written off?


  7. Ordered my second headlight for the 164 for the mot and it turned up broken aaaggggrrrr! That's the second one in a row took me months to track them down aswell. Looked like someone had been playing football with the box. It was bubbler wrapped aswell?
