Afternoon all. Down in a place called Rye think it's Kent.
A very classy seaside town with the family staying in an old Oast House.
Been zooming around all week in the Spider absolutely loving it!
She has developed a couple of squeaks. One in the NSR suspension I am told its spring pan bushes, looks like a polybush job over the winter and the clutch is creaking. It's pretty new so some lube will sort that I feel.
Apart from that she's Bob on!

Morning all - need to bleed the brakes on the Q4 as the peddle's going soft until depressed a few times - hope it ain't the master cylinder !

Morning all on the beach at Camber Sands.
Muppet I had a similar thing on the Spider turned out to be sticking caliper pistons. Get yourself some cheap hose clamps off eBay any clamp off the front hoses and see it that sorts it. Then remove one and recheck. Then do the rears too. If it's the master cylinder the two circuits control the diagonal pair...NSR and OSR are paired as are the OSF and the NSR. It will become apparent pretty quickly where your issue lies if bleeding does not sort it.
Have you got Brembo's on the front..they are classic for piston seize as is the rear adjusters on Alfa rear calipers. Basically work them free.

Hi Matt
I'll give it a go, although I suspect the brake fluid is very much past its best and I remember the rear drivers side caliper was a bit sticky a year or so ago when changing pads
The bean counters at Fiat put Girling single pot sliding callipers on the 164, the 90 had twin pot Brembo's !!!! Will add a big brake upgrade to the list at some point

morning guys, back in work after a fab week off, had a bit of a duel with a new Volvo and a pensioner driver, he was tailgating me so I slowed down, I was doing 70ish he then undertook me, I was a tad naughty and sped up to make it difficult for him hehe....I flashed him and he was going nuts, he hit the brakes in front of me, good job I was alert for a change then commenced to gesticulate at 40mph on the outside lane of the dual carriageway, swerving into the middle so I couldn't get passed, not that I wanted to as I don't undertake so I stayed on his tail , blowing him kisses and pretending to take a photo of him, when he saw the phone he tried to speed away but I stayed with him until the roundabout then blew him a big kiss and took another photo of his face, or so he thought, I do love a bit of conflict on a Monday morning lol
