You could send someone into a charity shop.

I sent my dad in to get one for a fiesta a while back... only cost him a quid.

lol at mold growth!

to clean an engine (if it caked in oil) you could pressure wash it 0 just make sure the electrics are all sealed up.

you can also use "gunk" or similar engine cleaner - plenty available from halfords - also v good. Some require washing down afterwards though

Finally - haynes manual - try ebay - loads kicking about - I bought a mint one - no tears, oli marks or broken spine for ?2.50 inc postage!!!

beltin!
