I’ve got a small oil leak (the odd spot on the drive – nothing major).
Thought I’d drop it into the local Desira for them to take a look and
let me know whats wrong. Spent 1.5hours waiting round today, and after
that time they managed to come up with the gem of "its very dirty under
there, so we’ve cleaned it. Come back in a week so we can have a proper
look to see where its coming from. We think it might be the cam cover
gasket". Total cost – £82 !! For what ??!?! I could have got it steam
cleaned for a tenner somewhere else. I questioned the charge, was told
it was standard for that job (they dont have hourly rates anymore), and
I had to pay as I agreed to any charges when I signed the form saying
they could look at it.

Serves me right I guess… i expected them to charge ££ to fix it, but
£80 later they’ve hardly even started !

Incidently, they quoted another £80 to have it fixed if indeed it does
turn out to the be the cam cover gasket. Does that sound reasonable ?

156 2.0 TS (2001) – Proteo Rosso

Just got myself a radar detector, as the points were beginning to mount
up and driving to the speed limit is not always an option in an Alfa.

Anyway, I quite like the idea of hardwiring it into the electrical
system, and there is a cable supplied with the unit to do just that.
(It’s a Snooper S2 by the way).

Are there any electrical experts who could offer advice on the best way
of doing this?  My plan was to stick a "chocolate box" behind the
cigarette lighter fuse and run the patch cable from there.  The patch
cable has it’s own fuse in it.

Car is a 2001 156 2.0 TS Veloce.  UK model.

Thought you might like the pics of the Spider and Sportwagon.

I hadn’t realised that the Spider/Brera shared the dash with the 159…not
sure if that’s a good thing!

I had a look round the 159 at my local dealers the other day and it’s…ok,
but not great to look at…doesn’t seem to grab your attention as much as
the 156 did.

Hey all,

I’ve recently ended up with a 2001 156 Selespeed Sportwagon and I’m
fairly happy with it so far apart from one thing – to me, the +/- on the
gear lever is the wrong way round.

What I would like to achieve is swapping the current Up = Change Up /
Down = Change Down over to Up = Change Down / Down = Change Up. Yes, I
could just live with the buttons, but sometimes chasing them round the
wheel gets to be a pain.

Having done a similar mod to a Steptronic equipped BMW 540 I had, I
armed myself with the connector pinout and swapped the gear selection
wires over… This seemed to work until I discovered I couldn’t get
reverse any more. D’OH!

It seems to me that the only way to get what I want is to remove the
gear lever, turn it 180 degrees and bolt it back in. As it looks like it
could be quite a job to do this (removing quite a lot of the centre
console), I was wondering if anyone else had done this and had any hints
to give? Or maybe somebody has found another way of doing the inversion
and would care to share?

TIA for any help.

Ross.
