Newsgroup vs Facebook

Bert’s remark in another post (Well, newsgroups are a thing of the 20th
century,) refers.

I had a look on Facebook – there are several Alfa Romeo pages there – must
still explore them some more.

The Alfa 156 page on FB seems to be mainly photos of owners cars,
contributions in several languages. Not nearly as good as this AR ng is (or
was!)

Picked up this Youtube link – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWcFBe1L5QQ

Nearly as fast as you guys go ’round the M25?

Oil filler cap

I don’t suppose anyone has one to fit a 2.0TS engine lying
around gathering dust or doing service as a garage ashtray?

Dear-heart has lost hers *again* ;^(

Alfa 156 Part No.

Would anyone have easy access to Alfa part numbers?

After 287 000 Km, the aircon compressor on my 1999 156 2.0 TS is getting a
bit noisy (bearings).

I’m looking to get a used part. Might save me a trip to the agent to ask
there.

Flashing dash LED on '98 GTV 2.0TS

I have a 1998 GTV 2.0TS which has been pretty reliable since I got
it.

One thing that has confused me and I’ve not got to grips with is that
there is an LED on the dash which flashes permanently, whether the
ignition is on or off. This hasn’t been a problem but I haven’t used
the car for a few weeks and the battery is very low. When I jump
started it the indicator lights on the dash were flashing as if the
hazard warning lights were on (which they weren’t).

I tried charging the battery in the vehicle and after 10 hours on an
electronically controllled charger it was still drawing 3 Amps. I
unplugged it overnight and it wouldn’t turn over this morning. I
checked the battery and it only showed 11.1V with no load.

I have taken the battery off the car and am charging it again now – it
initally was taking 6A but it’s dropped down to 3A. I’ll check the
voltage presently, but a couple of questions.

1. Why is the LED flashing all the time? Should it not go off with the
ignition on? Can I do anything about this?

2. Has anyone seen this behaviour of the indicator telltales flashing
when the car is running with a weak battery?

3. Is there any common cause for an electrical drain I can check for?

TIA!

So *that* is what the whining noise was!

Started on the 156jtd on Saturday, a whining noise, raising
and dropping with engine revs.

Thought:
"I’ll take it to a man who can on Monday to find out what
it is"

Today, took the dogs for a walk (their mad hour hareing
around the forest) and on the way back stopped at the local
7-11 for a bottle of milk.

No start!
Flat battery!

Green Flag recovery man arrived before the txt from
GreenFlag to tell me he was on his way!

Jump leads, car starts, multimeter on battery, 3/5ths of
bugger all charge going into the battery.

So.  

How much of a dent in the empty wallet is a replacement
alternator likely to be?

Seeing as how it appears to be at the back of the effing
engine, it doesn’t actually look like a DIY job (unless you
happen to have a hydraulic lift in the garage!)
