Yep, done it on my 2.0, I used Sealey I think, about £30 off ebay but that was some years ago.

Looks good, I'd get some Lanoguard on that rear subframe!

Auto Lusso Bournemouth,

Hi, I think the part you need will be 51804489, but it does depend on what model you have. That seems to be for a 1.4 or 1.6 diesel. And it looks like it is shared with the Bravo. There a a few Delta being broken on ebay and facebook so you may drop lucky. I am not sure on the Delta as it not a failing I've heard of before but on the Alfa 159 the subframes rotted because of the plastic undertray trapping water. I imagine labour will be quite high unless you are handy with the spanners.
Good luck

KYB are an excellent make, cheap ones also for £20

your traction control is switched off or faulty. More likely the former, the button is on the centre console and around the same location as the heated rear window button, so it is easy to hit the wrong one. If it were a fault it is likely the ABS light would be on too as they use the same sensors to determine wheel rotation speeds.

Hi,
David Evans off the Facebook Group.
If the pic was from the back of the car I am sure that broken rubber concertina part is the handbrake cable gaitor!
When was the autobox last calibrated? A long time since my two selespeeds but I imagine they re not that different but it made a big difference.
No sure on the knock, could be anything suspension or steering related.
Low oil pressure could also be from using the wrong oil or from a faulty sensor.
There is AutoLusso in Bournemouth or Rusper Alfa near Haywards Heath who are Alfa specialists and will know the autobox as it is the same a Giulietta. Also Sussex Alfa in BN6. which may be nearer.

Hi, I managed to get my screen replaced with AutoGlass. It did have to be specially ordered rather than off the shelf as my car has the sensor for the auto light. They did bring along the one for cars without the sensor first time round, so there is at least one in the country.
AutoLusso in Penrith will be able to do the auto box easily. A well respected Alfa specialist will have all the kit to do the job properly as it is the same box as fitted to the Giulietta. The clunk may be a concern though as these boxes suffer from wear on one of the bearings. There are YouTube videos on what to looks for (on a Fiat 500 IIRC, same box), often specialist put an extra 500ml of oil in the box and that seems to sort it. My box has 150k miles on it and no sign of a problem (unless it explode on the previous owner!)
Cambelt should be easy, the engine is the same as a Vauxhall Astra/Vectra so any garage should find it pretty easy although they will doubtless try to charge you an extra £100. Or simply take it to Autolusso who will do the water pump at the same time.

yes, same as Bravo, Giulietta and 500, IIRC Gates is the OE supplier to Fiat, so not sure why he would not like them......

Hi, and welcome
the paint code is on the underside of the bonnet near the leading edge, so you have to lift the bonnet right up to see it.

an SR is the one to go for, you get alcantara which it seem special. The top of the range is all leather which is not to special, could be off a VW! and it is not as pliable making the seats firmer. Most of the rest of the toys are the same.
I can only speak of my car but it has been very reliable, whereas the Mercedes van I use at work is half the age, half the mileage and is a bag of crap. Also on my Alfas any faulty part usually has Bosch stamped on it, so a Delta is a step up from VW.

it is adjustable, unless the adjusters have broken off. A couple of washers in the right place may also do the trick.

floppy visors are a common problem, about £80 each for new ones, Italian ebay is a good place , but as the fault is common place, everyone is chasing the same few parts. Superglue is naughty as it wrecks the roof lining. You could get the Bravo ones and get them covered in alcantara and do the roof as well less than the genuine parts from Lancia!

the centre pipe is hard to find as it is longer than the Bravo pipe, Europe is the only answer and is around £200

Hi, what model do you have? The twin exit exhaust of the 2.0 JTD and 1.75 TB are a pain to get hold of, the single exit exhaust is the same as the Bravo and are about £100 on ebay. The exhaust hangers are also Bravo parts. One word of caution, the rear most hanger is attached by a bolt which often rusts and will snap if forced, then it has to be drilled out and bumper off etc etc. Try to lever the prongs out of the rubber block instead.

you can turn it down in the settings menu. It is not called security alrm or similar but audible alarm which makes it sound like an internal bleepr, eg reversing sensors, buts it is the alarm. Experiment at Tescos car park though, saves upsetting the neighbours!

I have a similar issue on my car, with the added bonus of no sound from the satnav. I found this website in Italy that fixes the Blue and Me unit
all the faults you and I have are listed so I assume it is the Blue and Me unit that is kaput.

Thanks, I must add the missing number plate button too, I wanted to get a picture in before the rain started......
Not my Delta, I've just had a look. Same colour but that has a Lancia grille and mine has a black roof. A good turnout of 'grales

Removed Chrysler badge, polished up tailgate glass where said badge left a shadow, added a Lancia number plate surround. Already added the Centenario badge last year. Bit of a cheat as it was on the Ypsilon years ago, but not going to worry about that.....

It will be the spindles that connect the actuator motors to the direction and heat flaps. They get brittle over time and snap, about £8 each but quire a lot of dismantling to get to. Same as a Fiat Bravo and there are some YouTube videos, much worse if LHD though. Replace as many as you can while it's in bits.
