The forums will be offline for maintenance on Friday 15th November at 10pm for up to an hour. Thank you for your patience.
With all the problems I've had with it I'd rather it be gone. Roly metioned removing his so I can hopefully copy him 
If you can make solid brake lines removal of abs wouldn't be too hard anyway.... If you can't it will be a bit more hassle.
You know you have a Mk2 Ibiza when
You spend ages trying to fix something, and logically it should work, but in the end it doesn't improve anything.
The seatbelts don't retract properly anymore... So I go take off the rear interior panels... Finding out there's a steel part which presses the seatbelt into the B-pillar frame, which apparantly gives it so much drag it won't retract... Ok, so I take the steel part off and seatbelt retracts nicely, still a bit slow, but oh well. I hen spent ages trying to bend the steel part out a bit so the seatbelt won't rub that much... Doesn't work as the steel is too hard. Oh well, take the whole steel thing off you think..
Ok so, with that off it works fine again. Then proceed to put the interior panels back on, thinking it's fine as the belt hardly touches the interior panel.... Guess what? Still doesn't work.
These cars are REALLY stubborn!

Yeah I know it's meant to be there... But I'm kind of afraid to mess up the seatbelt retractor motors so that's why I thought this would be an easy fix. As it worked rather well without the interior panels and steel plates I thought I could get away with it like this... Gonna use your tip some time though, even though I think it's just some spring that's very worn out after all those years of use...
you know you have a mk2 when some random person follows you down the road flashing there lights you think omg what have i done ,you pull over to let them go past , They then pull along the side of you and ask if you want to sell it
Lets just say it put a on my face

... taught and nice! Feels pretty new... 1.4 was a 'mare!Think of a clutch you can press in using one finger and thats pretty much how light mine is now.

I dont find the clutch that heavy either tbh. I know I cant match you 8v drivers but my 1.4 clutch isnt that heavy. Tbh the clutch in my dads '99 Civic feels heavier than mine and Im fairly certain thats a hydraulic clutch.
