> - Yes, I have the same question...I went to the local electronics store (Fry's in Sunnyvale, CA).
> All of their remotes are pre-programmed universal remotes that cover dozens of brands, "Alfa

> shed any light if they are still available?
>
> - Another question...my 164LS recently came back from a big 50K/60K maintenence at the dealer.
> Shortly thereafter my commute to work changed to only 3 miles, which is barely enough to get the
> thermostat to open up. The car has started to hesitate a little under light to moderate throttle.
> A bottle of Techron and an Italian tune-up has failed to clear the problem. Could it be my short
> commute that is gumming-up the valves, or should I send it back to the dealer? (It may be time to
> buy an Italian bicycle to get to work!)
