i feel like i've called 300 different places looking for 1 single mk2 golf, and no scrapyards seem to have them! im thinking im going to have to start my own mk2 scrapyard and corner the market.

i live in central glasgow and dont mind travelling a few miles to get to where i need to go, but i do however really need some parts for my sunroof. dealership costs are costing me a fortune!

dude, im on the same boat, im down in ayrshire & theres none, just came back from lancashire & i tried loads of scrappys around lancaster & morecambe, only to find out one had just been saveyed on Friday, missed it by a day, ive got the same problem with my sunroof, but i think i can sort it ( fingers crossed ), but my main problem for me is getting the seals for the windows! ive emailed a place tonight down in London that make rubbers for all types of cars, so hopefully they can help.

Hi there I stay in Stirling and I was over at Alloa Auto Breakers last week and they have couple of MK2's in the moment ( not GTI).

All Parts auto salvage in Bonnybridge is a massive scrapyard and they also seem to have some Mk2's in at a time when I go there.
