Hello
The engine
and transmission in this cars drive train are fully
electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train
Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer
stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions
to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant teperature sensor and MAF
sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to
read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with
a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform
the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s)
DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL THE DIAGNOSIS & TESTING IS
COMPLETED.
Testimonial: "Thank you just waiting on someone to get to my car so it can be tested, fingers cross."

Look in the headlight ring for 2 small cut outs 1 on the side 1 on the bottom insert a Phillips head screw driver in the opening to the set screw and tighten or loosen screw to adjust. You might want to park nose in to a wall and turn headlamps on to check as you work.

Motor control system failure means either 2 things
1 A fault with the ecu
2 A fault with the exhaust and lambda sensors

There should be a button somewhere around the gear shift. The button is there so that you can shift out of park when the engine is not running and it wont be obvious that this is what it is for. You will probably have to press it with a screwdriver. When it is fully depressed the gear shift should move.

I Think it's just conincidance. Sainsburys fuel is checked independantly by Trading Standards and a private company. Both turn up unanounced. Plus there is a warning in the stations if water etc. is found. This shuts of the fuel from that tank.

(1) look behind fuse box (2 x 10mm bolts then ease it downwards), look for black box with green sticker behind fusebox, unplug and replug wires (white plugs) several times, they suffer from corroded connections. (2) wiggle wires around that box and fuse-box. (3) take it to Alfa dealer for check-up, if parts and re-code needed usually around £250.
