New van problems

[terapixels]

Hi All,

Newbie here. Just picked up a battered 02 2.0 van yesterday and already having problems.

1. Wipers are so weak that they go up but will not come down.

2. This one is more worrying. I filled the tank up yesterday, travelled ten miles and the gauge is now pointing at the three-quarters mark.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
