1999 Alfa Romeo 156 TS review from UK and Ireland
"Even with the faults I'd have another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuse box cover opened constantly.
Carburetor body replaced at 20,000 miles.
Interesting quirk... central locking was repeatedly tripped by washing the car!!!
General comments?
Tyre wear is excessive... luckily it is a company car. On my 3rd set of fronts.
My company has 5x 156's in the fleet. The drivers all love them, but beset by major/minor problems.. leaks, rattles, power steering problems, instrumentation.
Still the best looking saloon on the road, and the most comfortable (I'm 6'2").
