2000 Alfa Romeo 156 Sportswagon review from UK and Ireland
"Very good, but flawed mechanically"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Central locking only intermittently.
Selespeed city button only working intermittently.
Selespeed gearbox/clutch?works perfectly up to approx 15 miles, then when cruising along goes into neutral, then into 2 gear then 5 gear, not always in this order, fiat main dealer had car for a week, but could not solve problem, recom gearbox/clutch is 2,100 euros can anyone out there help, any suggestions will be appreciated.
General comments?
Selespeed gearbox very slow to change gear in town, and clutch take up from standstill not very smooth, selespeed much better on the open road.
Great chassis very rigid.
Great motorway car excellent at highspeed.
