Answers needed

I hope i've posted this in the right place.

 1   How can you tell the difference between a Rivage GTI and a Rivage LTH.
I brought a Rivage and it's got leather interior and on the log book it say's leather, However the LTH is not injected but mine is, So is mine a Rivage what LTH or GTI.
I don't have the logbook yet because i'm not picking the car up until Tuesday.

 2  Electric window switches on a 91 cab are they the same as the switches on the MK2, because I need some for front and rear.

Look forward to your answers as i'm a little confused  :?  

Cheers Mark

I cant help you, but you need to realise that a lot of the knowledgeable members (not me) are probably out working on their cars today, so perhaps wait till tommorow and then see what answers come back.  With regards to trying other websites, perhaps try club gti or edition 38?

Hi! In the Brochure dated January 1993 covering the Clipper, Sport line and Rivage models, it states that the Rivage Leather (LTH) Has a 95bhp mechanical fuel injection engine. The reason the bhp is less than the Rivage GTI is the addition of the catalitic convertor on the leather models! The Clipper was normally a 90bhp carb engine, but right at the end of production was available with the same 95bhp engine as the Rivage LTH..
Hope this helps… :D

Does this mean the Clipper could be obtained with the combination of injection engine and auto transmission?

Hi Mark

Sorry if you're struggling with membership, due to hackers we've had to limit some options on the site.

If you're still struggling send a pm to 'dubgrrl' who is our membership secretary and she will sort you out.

There are some good sites as mentioned but IMHO you wont find a better MK1 resource and community than you will here! (Check the stats on the registers to the left of the scree - there's now more cabbys registered than Campaigns or any series 1, 2)

Cheers
Andy
