You know you have a mk2 when.......

the central locking pump is out for welding and ya kid sticks an airline down the pipe to play with the doors causing the boot lock seal to pop off rendering your whole locking system inoperative making you think you had melted a pipe and you get ready to strip the interior out to find the leak

just glad i looked in the boot first :p
 
You know when you got a Mk2 when the handbrake decides to play up and roll's downhill into another car on its own:doh:

My Cordy did that!!!!!!! Hot rear discs parked on a hill and went for a ride into a telegraph pole!!!

Hope its not too bad, mine wasn't.

Its not been good for MK2's of late:
My wing,
Yours going for its own drive
DPJ's clutch

Whose next?
 
The valver lives in smelly oak - hence my new paint decoration!!
Good job I am saving for a respray - about half way there now


Ollie
 
Oh no, Pluto! :(
Much damage, Stu?

Bearing the whole car isn't show & shine and its had a smack up the bottom its done nothing to it as far as I can make out. However the semi irate owner of the said vehicle was less than impressed to find the Ibiza sat on her 02plate fiesta and it looks like its made an impression in her bumper - Ibiza must of rolled back 30 ft or so.
 
- when the dashboard computer says your averaging 30mpg..... but deep down you know its lieing!!!





(and its more like 15)

You know you have a Mk2 when you find out it has a VW gearbox........

Yes, I hear you say, they all have VW gearboxes.........

No, when you find out the gearbox on your car actually started out life in a 1990 Mk2 Golf Gti.
