My wife has just got a 51 plate 1,4 SE in Castell Red with 140k. We got it cheap as it needs somd work and had no service history but did have some receipts for recent work.
First thing that needs sorting is the wiper motor as it us permanent on. (I am guessing ******ed 602 relay).
I had everthing stripped off and even took the motor apart and you could see how it had worn and damaged the inside.
Got new oil, filters etc to give it a service. Cam belt looks fine but with no history i dong want to take the risk (will also change water pump at same time).
Ig also has knackered fuel cap which i am guessing is link to the door switch as the interior liggts and dash display for ooen door only work intermittently.
I can see many hours of work comjng may way!!
