Thanks for the instructions, will have a look at the weekend. To answer the question above, no the manual doesn't mention that the cheese eating surrender monkeys put the fuse box in the wrong place lol xx

Well thats a load of rubbish, any idea how I get the cover off to access these fuses?

Hope someone can shed some light on this, while trying to check the fuses to find out why the lights behind the heater controls have stopped working. I found that the fuse box by the steering wheel seems to be completely out of alignment with the access hole in the dashboard. The top two rows...

Oh dear God no ! :D I wont let you do that to my old car :confused: The lexus lights are already pushing it ....... ...... ;) I seriously doubt they will fit the almera, but there so damn comfy why do you want rid of them ???????

Eightball, may I suggest you turbocharge that beast :D Wouldnt be down on power then !!! Turbos are available to push your alfa upto around 200-230bhp !! http://www.autodelta.co.ukhttp://www.autodelta.co.uk http://www.poweralfa.comhttp://www.poweralfa.com Id like to see someone shoehorn a...

Well so far both my local renault dealer and my local alfa dealer have been top notch and very helpful, so touch wood they will continue to be good to me :) Alfa 156s were badly made anyway, I sat in one recenly and it looked like it was thrown together by monkeys :D The 147s are supposed...

Yes its Alfa Red as per the piccy :) Because we all know red cars are fater :D Didnt think it would be cheaper Paul, spent weeks finding the lowest prices everywhere then seeing if a dealer would match it.

Yes I do Paul_CTR Easiest way is to ask them if they do special rates for fleet buyers Oh and its probably the turismo variant that clickcars have cheaper as they are lower specced than the Lussos. £12500 is absoloute rock bottom price for the lussos trust me :D

Its been a while since I posted on these boards but thought I would come back one last time :) As of next week (hopefully) I will be the proud owner of a brand new Alfa 147 :) The clio will be off to a new home where it will probably be stripped, lowered and probed in boy racer fashion :(...

Reanult take the specs for the car at 3500rpm for good reason, anything higher sounds like a tank and doesnt give you that much extra speed :sick: Personally I tried to stay under 3000rpm for the first 700 miles Ive now done 1400 miles and the engine feels much better, and has stopped stalling...

I prefer the old style plates.....they actually look like perosnalised plates To most peeps new style plates would look just like every other new plate Its not your name if its got numbers in between it :\ My private plate cost £500 (an old stlye plate, paid more for te single number) X8 RST...

I didnt say id seen it, just that jeremy said he bought a green one and wished he hadnt. If I remember rightly it was the first car he bought after he got paid for the for his first series of top gear. "Umm, arrr, Ill have a Gre.... Red one please!" That was in refence to his cockup with...

Might not be the same ferrari your on about then. This one WAS a green convertible

Clarkson sold his ferrari because he belived hed bought the wrong colour.... He bought a green one :p At least thats what he said in on top gear a few years ago.

I was only planning on doing small bits by myself peeps dont worry :) Things like the strip around the mirrors etc.. just to save the odd pound or two ;) The bodyshop im going to has a weird pricing system e.g. one piece no matter what size or shape is a certain price so a titchy bit would cost...
