New girl/ question about steel wheels & filler neck

Greetings Mk1 friends, I'm new on here and wanted to say hi. I'm the proud owner of a 1991 Golf Clipper cab and love my car 'Jef' very much. I've had him for almost eight years and bought him in mint condition from another lady owner who'd had him from new. So, he's a lucky old boy to have only had two very careful lady owners! Me and Jef have got many happy memories together!

He still runs like a dream but I could do with now spending a little bit of money on him. He deserves it…he is totally original and has never been modified at all. I have lost 1 of the hub cap covers(the bit in the middle?) and was wondering where on earth I would begin to find one (or even 4 new ones?). Can anyone help? They are the ones with circles around the edge..

I also had an issue in the past with the filler neck rusting and the rust blocking the fuel system, causing the car to chug and then eventually stop altogether. I had to replace both the filler neck and get a new fuel tank. Is this a common problem does anyone know? Recently it has started to 'chug' a bit again…I'm thinking I might need to get another new filler neck. Anyone advise me?

Well, any help would be much appreciated. I am a novice on all things to do with cars to be honest…very girly!
Merry christmas to you all,
Jef's owner.

Fuel filler neck is a common issue. It might still have remnants of rust/dirt in the system, depending on how well it was cleaned out when you did the job last time.

I hope you find it as useful as we have!

Hi everyone, here's a picture of Jef. Should I maybe ask my questions about the wheels & filler neck over in another thread also?

Jef yes, please try and keep the subjects forum specific. Saves us shifting stuff around and makes for a better chance of getting an answer sooner.
