1988 Peugeot 309 GL review from UK and Ireland
"A bargain family-fun chariot"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where do I start?
Short driveshaft (gearbox side!)
3 new sets of pads
Brake-drum cylinder
Track-control arm
Fuel pump (mechanical)
General comments?
Not the most reliable car, although I'm sure that this is due to it's age.
A good all-round car - goes well and handles like it's on rails, despite only having 165/70 R13 tyres!
I intend to lower it at some point, possibly using air-bag suspension. Some GTi alloys would be good.
It's a good car for Mummy and Daddy Max Power!
