Model: Alfa Romeo 156 1.8 TS
Year: 1999
Mileage: 101,000
Tax: No
MOT: April 2012
Location: Norfolk
Price: 375
Additional Information:
This is my 1.8 Twin Spark on a V plate. It's MoT'd till April but no tax. It's done just over 100K and drives fine, pulls well for a 1.8 and corners like a go-kart (at least in part due to those slightly silly alloys).
Being an Alfa it does have a few issues - the remote button in the key has long since shuffled off this mortal coil so it needs to be unlocked via the doors in the traditional manner, and the exhaust is blowing from the flexi pipe, although not currently loudly enough to attract the attention of the powers that be. The cat has also been removed at some point in the past, although it passed its emissions test without it this year. It also needs a door mirror - it currently has a temporary chrome replacement which looks somewhat out of place. Mechanically it all seems good though, and it had a cambelt not too long ago.
Both front windows (electric) go up and down fine, but the rear windows (manual) don't - think the mechanisms are worn, and the n/s winder is missing. Electric sunroof tilts and slides OK. Heater fan works on the first three settings but not on the fourth - probably a fuse as lots of modern cars have a separate fuse for the maximum setting. Wipers and washers are fine. Side, head and tail lights and indicators all work; reversing and fog lights don't, although I suspect the rear fog is just a bulb as it was working, and the fronts just haven't been plugged back in.
The little triangular bit of plastic trim on the driver's door which hides the wiring for the mirror is missing. The electric mirror on the driver's side works; the passenger's doesn't, for obvious reasons. Front tyres are legal but will need replacing fairly soon. That about covers it I think.
Here's some pics:
