Title: New member with Golf Ryder
Post by: Phill on October 16, 2020, 09:17:44 AM
Hi All,

I have joined today as I have recently bought (3 weeks) a 1991 Mk2 Ryder 1.3.
Having owned a Mk2 Driver 1.6 back in the day I have always liked these early Golfs and as luck would have it so does my son. So when the chance arose to buy this car I decided it would be a good opportunity for him to earn a bit of no claims bonus and get him into a bit of tinkering.

I have some issues to sort out, the most pressing being the carburetor. I will post questions in the relevant section. Other jobs include sorting the drivers side window and relining the headboard and refitting it. The previous owner fitted coilovers and there are some weird and wonderful creaking noises from underneath but these will get ironed out as we go along.

Once I learn how to post pictures I'll put some up.

Looking forward to being part of the community.

Phil

Hello and welcome... we do like pics, re the carb it’s more often than not the seal under the carb that’s failed
