Seriously - my 156 is a moody bastard! One day it will
drive like a wheezing old bus, struggling to achieve any
decent acceleration, then the next it takes off like a
scalded cat!

Well - I got that one completely wrong.

A "nice young man from the AA" came out last Thursday and discovered that
one of the plugs is well oiled-up.

Poss cause - knackered gasket ??

Anyway, 156 is now down at the local Alfa dealer (Allams of Epsom) awaiting
diagnosis / fix - I'll be posting bulletins on the palace gates as and when
there's anything to report.
