Good morning all and many thanks for having me as a new member of your fantastic page!
I have a few worries and would like to see if anyone is available to offer some advice and assistance.
1. I cannot find a Haynes Manual that covers the 1988 1.1 (as they seem to have finished publishing them after 1986). Where is best to find a manual which provides drawings and information in English? I have seen that a few members have made pdfs which are available to download but I can't seem to download them, could anyone help?
2. The car is on a Portuguese plate at the moment and I am in Wales. However, I am looking to drive the car to Spain where I currently live and work (home for school holidays and saw this online from a Gentleman who drove it from Portugal to Wales, bought it and now looking to take it back out of the UK). My question is, are there any members here with experience in Spain regarding this vehicle and what would be best in order to take it down there in terms of insurance (international? Or transfer plates) and when entering Spain what are the steps to import it and then re-register it in Spain on their plates.
3. Finally, which internet sites (in UK or in Europe) are best to find spare parts for the car? I would like to carry a few extra spares with me at all times in case I need to change a clutch or brake cable on the road, but where should I look for the right set of parts or for good customer service?
I understand that I have a few queries here but would really appreciate help.
Thank you everyone and I look forward to hearing from you!
Ryan
