Sphinx 7 Report post Posted August 20, 2012 Knew the exhaust was fucked, was going to get that fixed. But it needs a new engine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K9d 108 Report post Posted August 20, 2012 That's a shame, I know how you feel. I have a broken 166 that nobody seems to want to fix. Yesterday I put the wheels back on my 156 that I had taken off because the tyres were worn too low, but there better than the ones that were on there, Canvas showing on the inside. The 156 also has various squeaks and rattles that sound expensive. Sometimes I feel like giving up on Alfa's and just buying a boring but reliable car.

K9d 108 Report post Posted September 2, 2012 Bring it up, you know where I am. I thought I did, until I arrived at your house and there were no Alfa's I do now that you've told me your new address. It feels much better now, I think that calliper was holding the pads on the disc on that rear wheel. My car is now making a strange noise, like a supercharger, when I use full throttle in 2nd and 3rd. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smaky 73 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 That's the split hose which is showering the engine in oil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K9d 108 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 That's been bodged now until I get a new one, although despite my best efforts to buy a genuine one online I can't find any. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
