Technical Few peoblems, anyone help?

[lj2307]

I have had my multipla (2000, jtd) 6 weeks now and have just found out it doesnt have an mot, the certificate I bought it with isnt valid so im pretty desperate now to get it fixed. Its failed its mot on quite few things and Im slowly making my way through the list and walking everywhere in the mean time. I though I got a bargain too for £700

The windscreen washers dont work, anyone possibly know why? I cant hear the motor running so possibly an electrical fault. I have looked but cant find which fuse powers them or if one even does?

The ball joints gone, is this a big job on these?

I also have an abs fault which the garage think is just a sensor so going to get that replaced. The windscreen cracked so Ive had just had a new one of them. It also failed on emissions but luckly that was sovled by replacing the air filter.

So can anyone help with my 2 questions?

Oh and how often does the cam belt need doing and is this easy to do, the garage quoted me £175 approx but I cant afford this. It was dont 4 1/2 years ago but dont know if it has been done again since or what mileage it was at then, its done 230,000 miles now though!!

Thank you
Lisa

Cambelt asap , way overdue ball joints ? i assume you mean the wishbone ball joints then about £38 a side.

I wouldnt have a clue what ball joints it just says excessivly worn on one side and the other says in a lower area or something, dont have the failur sheet to hand to say exactly what it says but it does have dangerous highlighted on it!
My Dad does the work but said he didnt know how long it would take because he's never worked on one of these before so didnt know how big a job it was.

The washer are confusing us at the moment because we cant find a fuse and dont know where the pump is!

Open the little cubby on top of the dashboard drivers side the inside then removes on a turnscrew revealling the fuses, there are more on various points on the car but should be in there.
Pump for the washers should be on the bottom of the tank that you fill with water.
Ill dig out my manual and see where the fuse is.
I take it this is the multi that was on ebay.
