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

No it's not Bobbers pinky, it's an H reg 16v that is being turned into a track car. _________________ 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
