You Know You have a mk2 Ibiza When........

[CraigW]

Blocked drainage holes under the scuttle pannel where the wiper motor is......................happens on the MK3 too

Is that definetely my problem?? I hope that it is that because its an easy enough fix. Where are the drainage holes roughly positioned?

 

[Krishen]

Could also be that the gromit for where the clutch cable goes into the car has popped out.
Drainage holes are on either side of the scuttle tray.

you know you have a m2 ibiza when it costs £40 for jacking point covers

you know you have a m2 ibiza when it costs £40 for jacking point covers

just for them to want to break when you take them off

 

[Cupra Kid]

Hole through the cover at the back, hole through the skirt at the back and a cable tie!

my 3 remaining ones are going nowhere!!!

 

[F2 Stu]

I just dont bother with the jacking covers

 

[roly]

There's a nack to taking them off, 3.5 years and i still haven't broken one

 

[Krishen]

Well i found a place called TPS (trade parts specialists) in London. Spoke to them on the phone to order the jacking point covers, guy tells me £1.50 each for the rear ones and £0.50p for the front ones. Obviously thought what a bargain but was very sceptical as i know if it sounds too good then.....

Well as it turned out it was too good. The guy quoted the wrong price. Since they had them there and iv been after some for 2 years (but couldn't bring myself to pay so much for so little) thought screw it and bought them.
They are a proper tight fit and i can the clips being broken in the not too distant future

 

[Cupra Kid]

so what was the final price?

You know you have a mk2 Ibiza when you're given a new Focus for the afternoon and the clutch and gearshift feel far too light and the brakes feel too over-assisted!

Such a big grin when I got back into the 8v

 

[iluvmygti]

You know you have a mk2 Ibiza when you love it so much that you work your ass off to fund an engine rebuild and treat it to all things new!

.......You pretty much finally get the rubbing/knocking exhaust sorted, only to lower it, and get it all over again!
ah, well gives me the excuse to get the Mk3 exhaust on soon

 

[crezz]

powerflex mounts brummy, it sorts it out nicely

 

[Krishen]

so what was the final price?

£10 a cover so £40 in total

Mk3 exhaust will still knock abit. Well mine is. Its the way the hangers are on both the exhaust and the car. Im thinking of taking the angle grinder to the one on the exhaust pipe and welding a new bit of bar on.

 

[Chrisdaman]
