Whats a Ryder?
« on: 25 January 2007, 14:20 »
I've found a really good offer on a MK2 1.6 "ryder" but I'm not sure what the difference is between that n a driver?  :huh:
I heard it's just what took over from the 1.3 but I just wanted to be sure...

think its just a trim/spec thing. Would have come with a certain type interior, bumpers etc. I cant tell you exactly what but thats all it will be.

How much would it cost to put power steering on it? and would that effect insurance much?

wont effect insurance. and its not a massive job but you need to be competant. the hardest bit is finding the parts second hand.  i like my golfs without power steering persnally as i like the heavy feel at high speeds

think it was an optional extra on most mk2's.
