Alfa 147 2.0 2002 Selespeed Problems - 147 is great on the highway but the Selespeed when driven around park it the other day as it refused to go up a slight just sat there like in neutral even though first gear was..

Advice needed regarding 156 Selespeed.... - Hello chaps! I've currently got a loan of a 2000 (W Reg) 156 2.0 I'm thinking of buying it.... It's only got 44,000 miles and he wants £1400 the only problem (bar a key scratch down one door panel - grrr!) is: when in manual..

selespeed problems - Hi folks, I've got a beautiful 156 selespeed 2000 vintage but...I can't get into 4th gear. Problem I've got is if I change up it goes 1,2,3 then misses 4 and into 5. If I try and change down from 5 it loses the plot and revs a bit and then stays in 5.

2002 147 selespeed revving - My 147 seems to rev quite a bit between 1,2,3 gears. Only seems to do it when very cold in the mornings. Now when I say cold I mean South African winter, like never colder than 0 deg celcius outside. Doesn't matter if I've got it on city or if I click it

selespeed how strange - I have a 2001 alfa romeo 147 selespeed and for the past week it has been doing strange things, when you engage gears whether in mode, flick shift or paddle shift it jumps from 1st to 3rd and from 2nd to 4th but in 3rd, 4th & 5th it is fine no..

selespeed gearbox, but I really love Alfa 156, can anyone give me some
suggestions about the test before buying it? what should I pay extra

Thank a lot for your suggestions, I have just confirmed with Alfa main
dealer that the car still got two years warranty on the gearbox after
last repairing job in December 2007,

Do you think it is worth buying ? can anyone give any suggestion about
the test drive?

Best regards.

I think the implications of the phrase "last repairing job" should
considered very carefully.

With particular attention to the full meaning of the word 'last' and
possibly the word 'next'.

There *is* a way though..if the op has several three grand bundles of
notes, that'll see him ok for a few years assuming he's got
alternative transport or doesn't need it!
