    I was 10 minutes late for breakfast one morning due to this car when it was parked in paddington. I parked in front of it and just stared at it for a while. Awesome car so happy to hear you're invested in it and keeping it. Hope to see it around!

    Once it works, it's a cracker. Gets hotter than my MK5 heater!

    I've wanted to push mine off a cliff a few times but now she's done, I'll never sell it. It's just too good.
    Yep... she's the one pushing me off the cliff at the moment.

    Crank Angle Position Sensor is shagged, shutting down when up to temp. Clutch started slipping too... I think its trying to tell me something!

    I think Im gonna pick up a $500 daily and get this sorted .

    Start a new post in the MK2 section, you'll get all the MK2 guys there.

    Have you contacted Brian at GTI Imports in Sydney? Best guy I know for getting unusual parts and he's pretty cheap too. Matt at Camden GTI usually has some parts from wrecked MK2s.

    Cheers
