A G reg non-GTE will have solid discs.

Your clutch cable is sticking. Lubing it will help but its probably rusted through like most of them do.

You'll have to swap the calipers aswell to fit vented discs.

Vented MK2 items look somewhat like that, but a touch smaller.

Also check the earthing strap is in place.

If you have a bad earth what can happen with cables is they start acting as the earth for the starter motor...and the cable melts itself a little channel into the plastic liner. Seen it happen!
