T.SPARK Variator Questions Answered

Hi Guys

I've owned Alfa's for a number of years and since my first alfa (145)
there has been alot of chat about the CAM belt replacements and worn
Variators. On one of my many quests to seek an answer i came across
this link.

Yep! Thanks for posting that link Roger.
After reading through that, with all the photos to help, I reckon I
can tackle pretty much anything with my 156.

It has inspired me to give my wing mirrors a clean :-)

Well, if you don't mind I'll stick to something a bit more
straightforward, such as nailing jelly to the ceiling.

Come on Stephen, are you man or mouse ?

As a limbering up exercise, I suggest you change one of the front
indicator bulbs on a 156 (without removing the front bumper and entire
lighting assembly) - after that, variator and cambelt is a doddle.
