1990 Peugeot 309 LOOK review from UK and Ireland
"A spectacular First Car! Buy one while you can!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed new choke cable about 18 months ago.
Glove box door has broken (a common fault on the 309 I've been told)
Very occasionally gets a fuel starvation problem and refuses to start, had to call out the R.A.C. once to sort this out, the guy showed us how to start it (remove air box and start with somebody's hand over the throat of the carb!) She always starts first time after that!
(Touch wood, she hasn't does it so far this year!)
General comments?
Well, this was my mothers car, and the car I'm learning to drive it, and I love it.
It's still got the original battery under the bonnet (Charged week 48 '91!)
Parts are very cheap (Especially as I work for Motaquip!) But seriously at retail they are still very reasonable.
Strange for a car this "new" to have a manual choke. But that doesn't really bother me.
Nips a long quite happily.
Plenty of space in the back (enough for a drum kit, two guitars and amps!)
Only small point, the car does seem to wonder around the road by its own accord, again I've been told that this is common with 309's.
