This has been sitting on a 155.org members drive for a year.
Towed it home with the 155 20vt.
Got it running and pumped 2 tyres up before towing it home.
Needs new thermostat, temp sensor fitting these bits where supplied with it, ordered new fan switch will fit and run up with new anti-freeze.
Needs n/s lower arm, n/s track rod end and a pair of rear calipers. Got new disc's and pads to fit all round for it.
Mot next week

Fitted the new thermostat and filled with anti freeze then I ran it up

Good to see its going back into action. Any more problems come to light after you got it up to temp?

No it was sitting running for about a hour

That goes to show why the V6 design has hung around for so long, nice and reliable even when its been neglected.

[alfa155chris]

Started it up to find its now got a misfire and moved it on the drive as I've started to strip the rusty prugna

[alfa155chris]

New disc's and pads all round, both lower arms nearly new from the prugna, 2 new drop links and new nearside track rod end.
Fitted the std V6 alloys and orange repeaters
G3 compounded and mopped it today.
