They will fail an MOT test so you have to get them done. Cost me around 200 UKP at an Alfa independent. -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net |

Not in my experience. I had my original bushes squeak and creak within weeks of taking delivery of my brand new car. In hot weather, if I run the A/C hard, I can get my front suspension warmed up to the point where it is absolutely horrendous sounding. Surely they will only fail an MOT if they're *worn*, not if they're just making a noise because Alfa bushes aren't the best? -- Z Scotland Alfa Romeo 156 2.4JTD Veloce Leather 'Oil' be seeing you..

My SW1.8 (August 2000) had 150.000km (90000 mi) on it after 4½ years when I
got my GT last Feb. Not one problem during those 4½ years (apart from regular maintenance) and the new owner loves it as a well. > schreef in bericht ups.com... > Hi All, > > I think about to buy this used model > I found one with 74k and 4 years old... > so what is your experience about milage ?

When I bought it it was 3 years old, and had 103.000 km on it. On LPG. I drove it another 1.5 years up to 180.000 km, and no problems whatsoever. That was the reason I bought an AR156 again, but now its a 2002 1.9JTD (after "face-lift") Grts Dennis |
