Other owner, since day one...problems...Electronic shows problems
with oil,brakes,front seat is squeaking as if it had driving history of 3 years.
He sorted that,but again electronic plays games, when he is trying to prove that in service,nothing!

Alfas can occasionally be struck down with chronic electrical problems- we call them the 'bad apples' even companes like Nissan and Honda occasionally do them- the brakes are reasonably bomb-proof- but have been known to squeak and groan- the front seats squeaking is a leather trim issue (The leather rubs up against the armrest) and the oil issues of tbe 156 sHOULD have been sorted with the introduction of the direct fuel injection engines- which were redesigned around the engine oil issue
