Mk2 Golf Chat / Re: Different editions
Without checking the original registration office would have Exeter.  I get the Riviera  connection. I know there is paperwork but I've not seen it yet. You never know it may have been part of a package or built to order for someone local or as a holiday car. I'll get a picture of the graphics when I can.

Definately Riviera. 1989 Mk2 1.3 poverty spec. I'm unable to get a picture at the moment.   This is assuming no one has stuck decals on it  :o

Mk2 Golf Chat / Re: Rear brake line removal
I assume that you're removing the rear axle. I cut the flexi brake pipes on mine and then removed the hard brake lines when it was off.

Engine & Gearbox / Re: Engine mountings
At one point when I had my automatic it launched rather badly due to another fault and ripped the front mount out. I replaced this one only. I didn't have a problem with any of the others. It might suggest that your front one was changed maybe for a similar reason. If the engine seems to be okay I would be tempted to leave it. If you do change to the stainless manifold then might be the time to change the remaining ones. If your car is also not a daily I would leave them but just keep an eye on them.  Alternatively have a couple of "engine mount saving pots" and accrue the money that way instead of diving in deep to the engine mount replacement fund.

Mk2 Parts Wanted / Mk2 1.3 exhaust manifold
As per the title an exhaust manifold for an 89 Mk2 1.3 engine please. I'll consider a complete engine/gearbox if someone is upgrading.

Mk2 Parts Wanted / 1.3 Engine and Gearbox
I'm in need of 1300 gearbox but would take an engine as well so if someone has one or both or is going to do an upgrade please let me know if you wish to sell. Alternatively if there are none around and  you're looking for a car to upgrade contact me.

Wheels & Tyres / Standard 13 pie crust steels and trims
I have a set of 5 standard 13 inch pie crust steel rims in good shape but could do with a repaint. Tyres are u/s and can be removed. There are also 4 centre caps 191 601 151B and 4 plastic trims 191 601 157D.  £85ono Collection preferred but I'll wrap for a courier at your expense. I'm located in Devon.

General Chat / Re: Guess the car...
I'm not surprised you can't remember. I know of one other. It's an SN1.
To quote from a book I have. The design was taken on by Amplas, then Lemazone, who restyled it with more curvy lines and renamed it the Comet.
Seating is actually 2 plus 2 and I believe it should have lawn mower seats in the back. The size and shape of them certainly backs that theory up.
I'll be back..
