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.

i degreased mine with petrol then painted it all with silver cylinder paint during the rebuild!
its readable, bit of mold growing onit
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!
