Ha ha Jared!!!! Been there, done that.
Wait till you get on the "Fume" highway going to Sydney.
I was getting past by caravans, Kombis and buses on the hills.
Might catch up to you then, even with a 2 1/2 hour head start for you.
(I will be in one of those rotten Mk5 GTI's!!!!!!! )

With a signature like that, "Attention to detail" and "racecar speciallist" didnt help?? Mightnt want to promote your site with posts like that. Sounds like a very dangerous situation to me.
If the calipers were seized, then how did you manage to fit new discs? If they were very tight, why would you fit new discs without rectifying the problems first?? I wouldnt be blaming the Golf or saying its a Mk1 Golf thing!
I have NEVER seen a brake disc break on a Mk1, never. And I have been in the VW trade longer than Mk1 golfs!!!

A new battery from NRMA still gets run flat in a week of sitting in the driveway. :/ Time for an isolation switch methinks.

You know you've driven a mk1 when you can't stop buying them. When the 90 Quattro goes a mk1 diesel is next. I love pain

when you drive around everywhere with your window down, not because it looks cool, but because its the most comfortable driving position

...the window winder stabs you in the knee when your bracing yourself around corners

...because if you don't brace yourself with your knees, you slide straight off the vinyl seats

When your car starts making noise for no apparent reason and then stops and goes away

You know you drive a Mk1 when all the tops of your knuckes are skinned and your back is sore from leaning over the engine bay of your slammed Mk1 all weekend

You know you drive a MK1 when the speedo undulates with the dips in the road.
