2000 Alfa Romeo 156 selespeed review from UK and Ireland
"A good performing unreliable failure"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air bag light contsantly comes one.
Selespeed actuator failure @ 50,000 miles.
General comments?
Apparently the Air bag fail lights comes on due to some trapped wiring under the drivers seat. the dealer told me not to move the seat???
The real disappointment is the failure of the auto box... I really do think that reading the comments on here there are inherent problems with the selespead gearbox. The dealer only wants £1200 to sort the problems out and we have to wait for 2 weeks.
