				I think i've been attacked by a whole squad of car gremlings   
 
The 33 sw snapped it's boot cable & i now need 2mm spacers on the front wheels due to the big brakes i fitted.
 
The 155 needs a llambda sensor, top strut mounts & is due a cam-belt change.
 
& the 156 needs an air-flow meter, e/window switch panel & a new air filter housing      _________________ 155 sportpack

				Those aren't all gremlins.     (and I wouldn't ask - how many more faults can I get.    )
 
Boot cable is, I guess, but easy to replace. 
 
Sorry Alex, but 2mm spacers are your own fault.      
 
Llambda sensors never last that long and cambelt change is a service item.
 
156 is a different story, mind.
 
However I reckon this is a short list compared to some that I've had in the past or seen here on alfa-pages somewhere. 
 
The joys of having three cars. 
 
Will be in touch about visit - clutch going on my car and trying to work out what to do about it.
 
Good luck with it all. _________________ Owner's Club 33 Registrar. Now from P4 & S2 1.7 QV

				I was waiting for the 2mm spacers issue to get that response     Very true.
 
I'll attack all faults over the next week & get everything working 100%. Now where did i put my hammer      _________________ 155 sportpack

				The 145 belongs to Rich B, the 155, 156 sw & the red 33 on the drive is mine. The 33 sw is in the closed garage.
 
Fingers crossed John i'll get to clean the cars & get the stickers on later today or tomorrow. _________________ 155 sportpack

				Will be painted dark green with yellow stripes (not my choice).
 
Well after brake pads, brake hoses & steering rack gaiters the 155 has an MOT. Still needs lambda & thermostat though.
 
The 156 was taken to liverpool today to have a new inlet manifold & front strut top wishbones done.    _________________ 155 sportpack
