Pleased with New Acquisition

[Planman350i]

After spending hours cleaning the crap off my new 156 jtd I thought I'd share the results. My first Alfa and I'm well chuffed :

You need to get your link from Fotango.
It says "View your link to this picture" down the right hand side. Click that and you should get something like:

Thanks. Hopefully sorted now

Looks very !
And a Yorkshire car as well.


Can you do me a favour sometime? Could you see if your 215/45/17's are listed in the manual as an OEM size and if so, what pressures do they recommend? Mine's a 2002 JTD and I have 17's but they weren't OEM spec at the time so there are no official pressures listed.

Cheers!!
Rick

Thanks Planman!
I've been running mine at 2.6 front, 2.4 back so I was there or there abouts.
In old money 2.6 is a pretty huge 38psi and 2.4 is 35.
(Rounded up). But it is right. If you go lower it feels awful.

Thanks again.

Enjoying having your face pulled off then?

[planman350i]

I am, but girlfriend has already complained!

It really does pull hard in third. Probably better than my wedge tvr, and thats got a 4 litre in!
