Mines aluminium, and as far as I'm aware they all are doesn't help when they put the sump plug in the most stupid place you can get! :bang:.
Thats what I thought but just checking. Are there any other distinguishing features other than the sump between the 1.2 16v and 1.4 16v?

Depends what sort of 'differences' your looking for. The 1.4 is 'fly by wire' and has self sustained coil packs where the 1.2 is HT leads:-
1.2:
1.4:
Images courtesey of GSR. If you need any better ones of the 1.4 engine just let me know.

I had a look and the only markings in that area was a square white Fiat Lancia badge on the gear box indicating its a genuine part which is a good sign .

Nah it was on the gearbox housing. It had a brand new gear box put on about a year ago so its good to see they used a genuine new part

As suspected yep. The seller is useless. I asked her if it had an aluminum sump which she said yes to but it doesnt it has a steel sump and she said she didnt actually check the engine when I asked. She just assumed. FFS
