surfer69,
I think those wheels you have on your 164 are called zender milano (and obviously sold by zender).

Wow, There is a guy on CarDomain that has a Rosso color with the same Rims. That dang 164 is nice. I have a set of 18" Imola's coming for my 'S' and if it looks half as good as yours Ill be  a happy camper. NICE! |

wow, looks great.
I love the wheels. There was a set for sale on ebay last week, they were going for cheap but shipping to canada would have been a fortune
I want to see more!! how about some interior and engine bay shots?

I'll post some more pics tomorrow, gonna do a leather clean/feed first, plus a proper external wash/wax.
It passed its MoT test this morning, just a couple of advisories.
Cracked foglight ( got a pair of german yellows ones to put on nayway)
loose petrol flap ( got a replacement, just needs a respray)
Corroded alloys (refurb on order)
Good news is the tester said the emissions were lower than on most new cars. The fast pass on CO was 0.07%, warning is at 0.20%.
Those V6 engines are sooo sweet.
Had a few admiring queries from the mechanics too.

Very nice i love the Q4 mags. For the power steering hose last time it happened to me also. What , i made my mechanic remove the hose without damaging the fitting and brought it to a hydraulic place where they do industrial equipment such as Caterpillar. It costed me CAN$17 instead of the 145 Alfa wanted me to give them. And the hose was much stronger than before

A friendly Alfa mechanic told me this is a common fault on 164s.
I had trouble getting the old one out, so I had a new one made up at the local hydraulic shop, just took the bolts.
The original hose is overlong, going the width of the car, before joining a steel pipe to got back the width of the car. The pump outlet and the rack inlet are 4inches (100mm) apart.
So I had a short hose made up (8inches 200mm) and I fitted it in 10 mins. Cost £15.
Left the old one laying above the subchassis untill I do something major, then I'll remove it.

I think this is the right fitting (H3), but check for yourself.
