I came across this, which I think surely merits being in the FAQ:
Eric Shea's excellent step by step to rebuilding brake calipers (includes torque settings when putting split calipers back together, O ring specs, method of removing seized pistons, why not to use caliper grease if intending to use Dot5 fluid, and, even correct zinc plating details) - great photos and clear instructions

Wondering if there is such a 'thing' as a diagnostic tool, or maybe an 'app', for a Series 4 Spider? And if there is where would the 'thing' hook-up to my Alfa?
I know this sounds like a stupid question, but when it comes to mechanical 'stuff' I'm a dope.

not sure this is the right section to post...maybe admin can move it... but anyways...

no app thats for sure!!;)
there was an alfa diagnostics machine for the S4, but basically forget trying to find that.
What you can do (when a fault occurs) is read off the fault codes.
Under the rear compartment (only USA S4's) is a red button on the side of the ECU.
Pressing that will cause the engine light to flash a certain sequence, you 'read off' the sequence and that is the fault code.

codes here: http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/693108-post3.html

just for fun, this is what the diagnostics tool looks like and what it can do for the Motronic ML4.1 system:
