Is this for a manual or a power steering rack?

or if you just need the rubber bush that goes through the metal bracket on the chassis leg, the part number is 60501317 which should still be available from your friendly local main stealer

Re: Rear brake adjustment tips.

Are you using calipers from a European ABS equipped car? Did you replace the bias valve with an ABS version or the standard version? (they are different and can affect the operation of the brakes). It sounds as though your calipers need stripping and rebuilding, my car was sitting idle for a couple ...

Re: Reproduction seat fabrics for 33 Permanent 4 and early 1

thanks Shrew, its been a bit of work but certainly worthwhile as the fabrics are really nice on the P4 Recaros. They seem to hold up better than the alcantara Recaros but many interiors are getting very tired now and unlike the alcantara which is readily available, the P4 fabric was impossible to fi...

Re: Omp group n exhaust

I had a Group N system on my 33 for a while, it was the centre section and the back box and although it sounded very good it was just too loud. It would wake up all my neighbours when I left for work early and on the motorway it would make your ears hurt so personally I wouldn't recommend one even i...

Reproduction seat fabrics for 33 Permanent 4 and early 16v

Some of you will be aware of Antonio Ruggi who has been producing the reproduction Alfasud TI fabric and I thought you may be interested to know that I have been working with him on some reproduction fabrics for the 33 P4 Recaros and the early 33 16v seats. He has now produced a sample of the fabric...

33 Permanent 4 4wd wiring loom

Long shot but does anyone have the wiring loom and relays etc for a P4 that controls all the 4wd drive system? It goes from various connections in the engine bay all the way back to the 4wd ECU in the boot.

Get yourself a brake piston winding tool, the pistons are on a threaded rod & need to wound out.

Re: Brake compensator rubber bands

I had the same problem on my 33, my rubber band was very perished & cracked. I looked everywhere for the correct Alfa part but had no luck so in the end I bought some rubber tent peg straps from a camping supplier which are the same length & roughly the same stiffness/resistance. They're a little th...

As long as it doesn't trigger any other warning lights on the dash I'll be happy. Shrew has kindly sent me another one so I'll see if that makes a d...

Thanks Chris, you were absolutely right, its the Alfa Control that's the problem.

I disconnected everything then plugged in each connecto...

I do have the Alfa Control but I'm not sure if that has any extra sensors or connectors for the braking system over and above a car without Alfa Control. As far as I ca...

Did the block and pistons come from Dave Barbera in Wales?

As previously stated, the pistons alone cost around £750 for a set so this is a pre...
