  1. and plus the washers and a different screen wash tank! and bumper!!!
  2. HI, part numbers are UK passender side 518763430 UK Drivers side 518763470 you will need other stuff like the bulbs, different DLRs, ballasts, an ECU and maybe a wiring change (my 166 needed that so I did not bother). After all that it may be cheaper to but a Delta with Xenons! HTH
  3. no problem, will have a look in the morning
  4. Hi, I have these on my LTD. A great improvement over the Xenons on my old Alfa GT, although not as crisp as the new LED lights on Audi, BM etc
  5. How are people getting on with tyre wear on lowered springs? My Pirellis need replacing at 10k miles due to wear on the inner shoulder, rest of the tyre looks great. On H&R lowered springs but budgeting £200 a year on tyres is not good!
  6. that 159SW is pure car porn! I have used Ferodo and seem OK, Mintex are now made in China and so I avoid
  7. The middle section is longer, the back box is the same. HTH
  8. you need MultiECU scan and a diagnostic cable set https://www.multiecuscan.net/ it will pay for itself in one go
  9. Alpine on here was looking to buy a 1.4 petrol, just a few posts down from this one. As a guide on price, they do vary a lot but they only sell around the £2k mark. Dealers put all sorts of prices on the screen and they are there for months. On Facebook market place last year there is a guy selling a 1.6 diesel with a sunroof for £5000 in a private sale, and he refused my then offer of £2500. Guess what? got one for £2250 within a month and his is still up for sale and overpriced at £3500 a year later. £2000 is a starting point, a bit more if it has nice wheels, leather and navetc , a bit less if it is a base model with none of that stuff and no history. HTH
  10. a 1.6 SE in white 103k miles for sale on 20/08, e-auction only. Bound to be a bargain with the new plate coming up, located in Leeds.
  11. splendid, a happy ending
  12. this one here is a good example https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1096003734065408 smart looking car, mid spec, diesel I know, but unsold after 24 weeks! That is prelock down, but surely will take an offer below £2k after six months!
  13. Hi, welcome Not sure if there is a buyer guide, but mechanically the car is similar to a Fiat Bravo II and both seem fairly reliable.The engines are used across a wide range of FCA products from Alfas to Fiat 500s and seem fairly robust and economical. The car is made in Italy but do not expect a thrill a minute Integrale experience, this Delta is more refined and almost an Italian Rover or Audi. The main issue is that people, even car buff do not have a clue what it is although passengers in mine seem quite impressed once inside. Have a search on Instagram for how good they do look inside and out. That 'identity crisis' does make the car hard to price. There are only 900 or so on British roads so some are priced on how they look which can be high (see the £4k one on ebay, looks great) or quite cheaply as there is no real demand. At auction they will typically sell for around £1500. All cars are around 8 years old so expect some wear although mine at 123k miles is holding up rather well. Budget £300 or so for a cambelt at least. Living with it is not a straight forward as Golf, indicator click is stupidly quiet, you have to fold the rear seat down to remove the parcel shelf as the tailgate is smaller than the shelf, no obvious place to put glasses or phone. The feedback from the road is set more toward isolation that the involvement of an Alfa, not as crisp and direct, but more refined. The radio is a let down, trim can be plasticy in places too. On the plus side the driving position is good, engines have decent poke, the body shape still looks crisp and modern and owners of similar sized Mercs, Audis and BMWs do not have a clue what has zoomed past them. Get a remap and take on bigger cars, readily available as the engines are Alfa/Fiat. Parts cheap too for the mechanical stuff, just don't damage the body or interior. The one pictured is a base spec with an even more unloved semi auto gearbox with high is miles, at auction it would have been around £1k, OK for basic transport with a good discount but if the autobox goes wrong few will know how to fix, and probably due a belt change. Now is a good time to get a Delta, market depressed, little demand, confused identity, but reliable basics, distinctive looks, nice colour combinations, smart interior, no signs of rust and prices rock bottom. Seek the best specced one you can find and haggle. What is there not to like!
  14. they would be the ones I would order for a 1.6D

    type in kyb rh3908 to ebay.ie and prices start at 29 euros HTH
  16. I did, I got them KYB dampers from a Sicilian motor factor on ebay, arrived 48 hours later. DCR in Catania, just ran question through Google translate and job done. Much less hassle than trying to explain what a Chrysler Delta is at my local parts store! link https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/dcrricambi-online?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 HTH
  17. mine has done the same, although like that when I bought it. I was going to try some CT1, like no more nails but better, a polyurathane glue that builders use to fix toilets to the floor(where first I used it) and such similar structural jobs. Should cope with a bit of dead cow I would have thought, just got to make it supple first.
  18. a bit of a thread revival, but I have the following watch out to add the wind back process is different for each side Unlike most Italians I have come across where the piston going back into place clockwise, these Bosch pistons go clockwise for the drivers side and anti clockwise for the passenger side. It took me ages and c=a check on the Bravo forum to see where I was going wrong on the passenger side as my wind back tool is made to go clockwise, a new tool has to be bought that can go both ways, or else use brute force without the collar to get it to go the 'wrong way'. HTH
  19. HI, I just replaced it with some ready available silicone pipe I got from an ebay supplier rather than the Lancia part
  20. sorry, no idea, its been a long time since I wired up stereos! Good luck with it
  21. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtvAy6mVU9c looks straightforward HTH
  22. S/S is a bit of an emissions cheat, makes the mpg seem better than really is Similarly the 'sport' button, that is what the car the maker wanted to give you but put in a different remap and set it as the default to make the mpg seem good. S/S needs a different type of battery as the usage is obviously higher but the gap between charges is much shorter so needs different battery technology. Glad my car hasnt got it TBH
