Italian company from Northern Italy... Been around for quite a while and do pretty much every aftermarket product going! I've not bought anything from them, so can't comment on quality. Although a quick chat with the guys at Demon Tweeks should tell you what you need to know as they stock some of their products.

I had that exact issue. Just go onto Autotrader and find a Bravo, then use that registration number!
 
If they still say no, just find a different parts factor. 

There was/is a thread on the Alfaowner forum where you post your headunits serial number and the guy replies with your code! He's not on every day, but he's done a couple for me over the years, so worth a try.
 
EDIT:
 
Yep still alive and kicking:

I'm pretty sure they'll be fine. I bought Bravo 2 springs for mine and they were identical.

Well you're in the right place fella!  Welcome to our little Italy corner of the Chrysler forum!
 
You've probably noticed by now there's a few die hard Italian car lovers here with similar Alfa/Fiat/Lancia ownership to yourself plus tonnes of Delta specific info collected as we've all transformed our Delta's or had issues.
 
I get the FB UK page you've set up, and your point about forum hosting etc, I really do... I've help run enough car clubs over the years to experience first hand when things go wrong. Plus to some extent forums are dying because of Facebook and it's simplicity to post pics or attachments etc. I think where the forum still wins over fb is the ability to separate conversations and then search against them if you need to find a specific topic or issue you have. FB isn't great at that unless like AROC or Alfabook where they've had to create lots of model or regional specific group pages, and then you have to join them all. Anyway happy to contribute and help anyone as always whether it's here or on fb.

I have had a bit (well, alot) of difficulty find the correct dampers for my 2.0, these guys on Italian ebay were excellent

based in Catania in Sicily, but the parts were here in 72 hours, only one day longer than being supplied the wrong ones in the UK, and there were cheaper. Currently two rear dampers are half the price one on UK damper on ebay so they are very good on price too. Communication was excellent (through google translate!)
 
Grazie mille!
 

It's still running in! 

Not definitely not normal. You should see boost in every gear.

Hi Nico, and welcome to the club!
 
The Navi unit will require the loom as the connections will be different. Unfortunately most used units don't come with any wiring, so you'll find it difficult to install.
 
My advice would be to go for a good quality branded aftermarket unit instead as it will be much more straight forward to fit.

Looks good and a bargain to boot - congratulations
Glad to hear that everything still works - my rain sensor doesn't and on cold mornings, I keep getting low pressure warnings for the tyres
Neither are a problem but the tyre pressure warnings are a pain in the hole 

Looking great Mike! Top work and so quickly too! Love the reg...

Nice one Mike, glad it's all coming together for you! I've used Alfashop loads over the years, and Jamie Porters Workshop too. Both great for anything fiat-alfa- lancia...
 
For me changing the airbag was one of the biggest impacts on the interior look and feel, so a great thing to get ticked off the list!

Wow that looks brand new again! Great job fella!

Now I know where the screws are and how it all comes apart I think I could probably get the bits off in about 20-30 minutes.

Remove the glove box.
Remove Trim near the door.
You can then remove the glove box housing, once this is out you can easily see the 3 motors.

(Important note: There is something sat on top of the glove-box housing, looks very much like something to do with the air bag or immobiliser, I chose not to unplug it and set it to one side.)

The passenger mixing motor is the hardest to get to, two of the bolts you can easily put a socket on the third is a little more difficult and has wires and a bolt in the way.

I've yet to find anywhere to buy just the plastic actuator arms, the motors are about £70, but my motors work as far as I can see.

Not sure if you've seen this? It was on one of the links on the second post:
 
 
Re: Climate Control IssuesRight, thought I'd re-visit this thread with an update.

My problems were purely on the passenger side, drivers side I can't help. (UK car, so right hand drive)

But basically after Fiat quoted me a huge sum of money to fix the problem and independent garages didn't want to take the job after short inspection. I decided to live with it...until this summer, been hot as hell recently huh.

So last night I decided to see if I could do anything and I was surprised how easy it was:

All three of the motors on the passenger side are accessible with only a small amount of dashboard removal.

The parts that need removing are the glove-box and glove box housing.

Once these are out you have very easy access to the two direction motors, and you can actually see the temperature mixing motor. Two of the screws can be taken out without any problem. The third is buried behind a metal pillar, but can be accessed (prepare for scrapped knuckles).

I then took a working arm from the direction motor and plugged it into the temperature one put it back on, turned the cogs so the air is going onto the windscreen until I can find some replacement arms/motors.

I've now got a working temperature on both sides of the car and it currently going to the windscreen while I order (try to find) new motors/plastic arms to replace the broken ones.

I thought I'd update this thread since people seem to think that it's a huge job and the entire dashboard needs to come out, well it doesn't. I'm not a mechanic or an electrician or even all that handy with DIY stuff and managed it.

When I do find the motors/arms and need to dismantle again I'll post some pictures to help people out.

I don't visit the forum too often, but I know there is very little info out there for the Bravo

Never had that problem to be honest! I'm pretty sure I got well over 25k out of front discs...Firstly stay away from ATS, and find yourself a decent Indie!

Wow that IS  cheap!
 
Yep I really liked them. Not sure on wear rate, but don't think they were too bad, and grip in wet and dry was impressive, plus not too noisy either. 

Great to hear you've got it Mike! 
 
Keep us updated as it would be great to hear how you get on! Good luck with it all, and hopefully it works out fairly straight forward and not too expensive either!

Well they don't indicate, so why would they care about blinding you! 

Obviously the Germans don't give a crap about road safety, the fokkers 

Hi Dapper and welcome to an exclusive club. (Yes I did have to google septuagenarian!) I have the 1.4 MultiAir which is an excellent engine once sorted. As per other threads the early MA engines suffered with Actuator issues - the later cars were modded (post 2014 I believe). This was not just on issue on the Delta but on Bravo/Mito/Giulietta etc). I had to replace mine along with the Turbo but it did not put me off the car. The MA unit is quite spritely given the cars weight and length. (1395kg). 140bhp is not too bad and acceleration on the motorway is quite well up to a point. The car is also very stable at speed. I can get 40+ mpg on a long run too. It still turns heads and I get many a questions about the car.
I'd agree with Tim - get at least an SR spec. There are grilles available in Italy - let us know when you find a car and we can assist with sourcing one with links etc - you just need to know where to look!   

Looks great Tim! That sits nicely even without the bumper cut out.

Haha this year I might have a Ypsilon or a Fiat 500 myself to be fair  … As that Stelvio last year lived most of it's two weeks hire sat outside the vineyard! So an expensive ornament it was!!! Bloody lovely though!
