Which plate is the car?
There were 75bhp, 85/86bhp and 100bhp versions of this engine.
It sounds like yours could have been the 75bhp version though being an SE spec sounds pre 06 when the chaos started and nobody knew what was what.

the pre facelift iirc came in 75bhp and 100bhp
then the facelift models came in
75bhp with the autobox
85bhp and 100bhp with the manuals

75bhp almost certainly, if you wanna know for sure send a txt to that car spotter place, that'll tell ya, but it'll cost ya a couple of ££

+1 for 75bhp.
Just checked Parkers and this page came up >> http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/summary.aspx?model=797
Look like a 73bhp (also known as 75bhp)

)Maybe have a look at the service handbook or the spare wheel well, you should find a build statement label there and if you find BBY then its a 75PS engine (well I seem to remember that the engine type and transmision type are listed on that label).
Sounds like a 75bhp mate.
Easy way to check is... pre-facelift will have either a 75bhp or 100bhp
Does your car have rear disk brakes or are they drums? Drums = 75bhp and disks = 100bhp
A pre-facelift SE sounds like a 75bhp version
Part ex'ing my 75 for a 100 atm

That is a bit strange, I would have thought that a 2002 1.4 SE Ibiza would have rear discs, my wife's same year/trim level Polo has rear discs - I thought that it was only the later ones that got cheapened up a bit.
No, I believe only the Sport models with the 100bhp engine had disks. But I could be wrong!
French cars seem to always have rear disks on their Sport models, but I guess its where Seat are saving money?
It's been like that all the way through from 2002-2008. You could get a facelift 86bhp Ibiza and it'll have rear drums.
I wasn't sure the facelift's had been cheapened up

That is called progress, evolution, or a really good idea from an accountant! It also allows the next model, when its launched, to have lots of "new" features that the previous one did not have. It really is a joke when VAG miss out things like rear discs on a Seat, when the same or equivalent VW model still had them - the facelifted Polo 1.4 of course did lose its rear discs - no doubt for the reasons I suggested earlier. In all honesty, these cars just do not use their back brakes much so drums are adequate - its just easier to keep discs in good working order as opposed to drums which tend to get ignored!
as a previous owner i can tell ya that only the 100bhp had disks all round, everything else had drums on the back

I don't know if Seat every offered this on the Ibiza, but VW offered "BRAKE BOOST" forgotten the proper name, and if this option was fitted then the cars always got rear discs. So maybe that clouds the clearing picture a bit! Brake boost was that option that worked out when you panic'd braked and held the brakes full on even if you eased of as the ABS sorted things out. I believe Merc had to disable this on the A class, I spec'd it on my wife's Polo along with ESP.
