    Hi all,

     

    I'm a newbie - owned my 159 for around 3 weeks.

     

    Couple of questions:

     

    There is a small tear on the rear of the passenger seats - should I use one of the repair kits on eBay or seek professional help?!

     

    Also, the car seems to condensate on the inside, is there a common seal or place I should look at?

     

    Many thanks!

    It's going in for a service soon. Normally do work myself, but a bit too new for that.

     

    Will also treat her to a waxoyl in the fairer weather...

     

    Are any of the panels galvanised? Or aluminium?

    A quick update; After a week, I still love the car...

     

    Feels 'German' in build, but with character. If that makes sense!

     

    Only a couple of minor issues - boot light doesn't work (no power feeding it, so likely microswitch) and offside heated mirror not working.... Minor stuff!

    Hi all,

     

    I know this is an Alfa forum, but it seems like a place with good knowledge, so here goes;

     

    I bought a Transit Connect a few months back, the speedo doesn't work. No problem I thought, I'll use my sat nav for speed reading until I fix it - bound to be just a sensor.

     

    After looking around, I found the lead, not plugged I as no sensor on the gearbox where it should be! Just a cap where the drive should be. So, must have had a gearbox at some point, probably from a later model with ABS. Or a Focus. Apparently the cap will come off when a pin is removed.

     

    So I got a sensor - but no way to screw it on as no thread on the box!

     

    I asked on the Transit forum, they said it must be one of these: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/151186798004

     

    But I can't find a new one listed online or at a local parts store with that bung type end on!

     

    Had anyone an idea if that sensor is a from a connect, and where I might buy one?!

     

    Many thanks!
