Have you tried running a cd cleaning disk through it? It could be some dirt, dust or fluff on the laser reading head...

Well someone got a bargain! Sold for £177!

Here you go fella. It's also on eBay at £250 more. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alfa-Romeo-GTV-2-0ts-2001-58k/173394436797?hash=item285f1d22bd:g:DkAAAOSw7e5bPSCc

Ah are you not a member of AROK Marketplace?

Yeah but lots of parts cross reference, so why not these...odd? Having said that even the centre console that fits around the base of the gear stick is different from left to right hand drive cars, so I guess I was lucky lol!

I quite like this as it's like new underneath which for a GTV is a miracle to be hold... Just a shame it's silver with a blue interior! If it was any other colour with a red carpet I'd be weak at the knees!! :lol: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2039160559684671?surface=product_details

Yeah total ball ache, but got there in the end! The funny thing is, there is no cross reference anywhere which is odd?

I'll fit it for you if you come and view a Fiat Coupe with me in Scun thorpe lol! PS: I had to write the name of the town like that with a split in the middle as the forum didn't like the word and kept changing it to ladybits!!! :lol: :lol:

Try this part number: 71802520

Not even for a fiat bravo?

Ok finally got the car back with a clean bill of health, service and MOT cert... Here's the vital bit of info for future reference! Right I ended up cancelling the order for the Eibach Pro's as no-one stocks them, and all come directly from the factory, of which there are none until the end of August! So I can confirm that Fiat Bravo springs DO fit the Delta PERFECTLY! I ended up giving my Tech a reg number from a 1.6 and 2.0 (just to be sure) Fiat Bravo from the Autotrader. He then placed an order for 2 front springs at £30 each which arrived the same day. First he measured the existing ride height, then he took the good spring off the car first, and measured them with the Bravo ones, even checking them with a micrometer. Everything matched. They are now on the car...thank **** for that!

Wowsers a Fiat Tempra! Not seen one of those for a while... They even did an estate, which wasn't that pretty either! If we're going down the 90's boxy saloon route, I'd rather have a wide body 155, at least Tarquinii made them famous for being on two wheels spitting flames around a touring car track!

Yeah Blu&Me stands for Bluetooth & (Windows) Media Player. If you go into system or App settings you should be able to see whether it's Android or WinCe based. What is the Sat Nav software?

I guess the part number off EPER should shed some light as to what else it fits once you then google the part number?

Well what an Efin nightmare this is turning out to be! So basically the next 3 suppliers also confirmed that they didn't actually carry them in stock either, and that they have the same problem with none available until August at the earliest! So we've ordered a pair of Bravo springs this morning which arrived late afternoon! Wish me luck!! Nige is gonna take the good one off and compare before attempting to fit either! So I should know tomorrow afternoon whether we've been successful or needs to buy the OEM ones at £130 plus vat per corner!

No mine have survived surprisingly! I find people in general don't grab the handle in the right place, and then yank at it... So only a matter of time!

Ha-ha and there was me thinking I'd explained in a simple to understand manor! #techynottechy

In theory yes, as I'm pretty sure the steering wheel controls, power/audio loom, Sat Nav + TV aerials plus USB cable was included. Just be aware you'll probably need an aerial booster as the App radio/tuner isn't very good at pulling signals in without a little in-line booster which is about £10. Plus the Navigation software only had Asia from memory, and because you can't find the head unit name in the Sat Nav software website you'll need to download a Nav App and potentially tether from your phone, or buy an off-line map on microSD.

We couldn't find the right ones last week, so were unsure. Be great to get a part number, although possibly a little late for me.

Yeah probably not worth it to be honest. 4 x Eibach Pro's at £160 is always gonna be better than OEM. 30mm drop, and less nose diving under heavy braking, plus flatter through the twisties… What's not to like! Just hope they arrive on time!

Here you go fella... It's on eBay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Chrysler-Delta-Navplus-Android-satnav-audio-apps-etc-stereo/232831081500?hash=item3635d05c1c:g:EMgAAOSwKVVbLVWM

Interesting choices there Spud! The Thema and Croma are pretty much invisible now on the used market, and not the best looking Italian's either... But I like the leftfield approach, so fair play... As a 17 year old, I used to drive past a 164 on a garage forecourt just to stop and look at it! That love still exists today having owned nearly 20 Alfas over the years... There has been one or two for sale by club members under 5k, but nothing special enough to make me want to buy them... It's a big car for a twin spark, and thirsty in 3.0L form too... But that dashboard still makes me feel 17 again when I see one!

My turn for front spring failure! Just failed its MOT for both drop links and a fractured front offside spring! The OEM springs seam a thin on the ground, and at £130+vat per corner (£324) and having to replace both on the same axle together I thought that was ridiculous! So I thought I'd go down the Eibach route Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Spring Kit / Suspension Springs - E10-49-002-02-22 but that's proving difficult too, as most suppliers show them available, when in reality they don't! Most seem to advertise them, and once you place an order, they then order them from Eibach who currently have none in stock!!!! Eibach say they may be available from the beginning of August! I've ordered some off another supplier, but they won't answer my email to confirm they actually have any, so fingers crossed they turn up on Monday as the order is suggesting... What a pain in the ass!

Spud have you got the factory Sat Nav unit, or did you install a Navplus? The Navplus didn't come with European Mapping, so you had to buy them on Micro SD, but tablet compatible, as most Sat Nav software on the Android Play store don't work, or require 3G phone connection through tethering. I'm not familiar with the which mapping software comes with the OEM unit, or whether it's Android or Windows CE based? Rosso on here might be able to help with that...
