Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / October 2006309 model range help please
I have the offer of buying a G reg (first registered on 31 December 1989) 309GL. It is apparently in near mint condition and has had only 1 owner from brand new - an elderly gent. It has covered a genuine 42,000 miles and is a 1.3 litre unit. My questions are: 1) what should i look out for on these cars/of this age and 2) is this model a facelifted model or not? Many thanks in advance > is a 1.3 litre unit. My questions are: 1) what should i look out for on > these cars/of this age and 2) is this model a facelifted model or not? Did they ever facelift the 309? My parents C and J reg 309s and some friends D & G reg 309s all looked rather similar. Now that you say it, there may have been a difference in the tail lights, but that was about it. Don't know what year this one is, but here a hint on fitting some large bass bins! http://www.kivlov.info/309/309_2.jpg  Signaturehttp://www.petezilla.co.uk Hi, > friends D & G reg 309s all looked rather similar. Now that you say it, > there may have been a difference in the tail lights, but that was about it. Mk1 309s have "old style" orange / red / white tail lights (and orange front side indicators) while Mk2 have white front side indicators, and some kind of "405-style" tail lights (black / red). Not a big matter, not that important compared to Mk2 205s... Have to say here the relative disinterresment that Pug had into the 309. I won't explain here how difficult it was do build the 309. Regards, -- G.T 205 Diesel & turbo-Diesel : www.205d.com Thanks for the advice friends. If there are any areas of the 309 which I should look out for (known faults, issues etc) then I would be very grateful. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > G.T > 205 Diesel & turbo-Diesel : www.205d.com > Thanks for the advice friends.

My 2p, gleaned from a 'C' reg 1.6 GL It's worth checking the rubber seal on the hatch, mine always leaked like a sieve. A quick look under the carpet in the back should tell if it's been leaking. A really heavy clutch means a new clutch reqd not just a cable etc. Oh and the 1300 wasn't a particularly guttsy model.;-) I think 'G's were the later style, although as previously stated, the facelift was minimal. jim.

Those colours (white indicators) would not have been legal in the UK where orange is a requirement so I suspect that was just for the continental market. SignatureKeith Willcocks (If you can't laugh at life, it ain't worth living!) The lenses may have been white, but the bulbs inside should be amber or red ,, respectively, Fitzy >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > orange is a requirement so I suspect that was just for the continental > market. >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >orange is a requirement so I suspect that was just for the continental >market. He means that it has white lenses. Orange bulbs were fitted. The MK1 had orange lenses with ordinary bulbs. >>> Hi, >>> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > He means that it has white lenses.

Same here, that's the reason why I said "405 style" (thought it was clear enough)... Also had white light clusters & orange lights :-) I read answers below, I get it, grandpa :-P Regards, -- G.T 205 Diesel & turbo-Diesel : www.205d.com > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > enough)...

Never thought I could become a doting old sod, but he's done it. ;o) SignatureKeith Willcocks (If you can't laugh at life, it ain't worth living!) Thanks folks. >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Yup. Fifteen month old grandson. He's making me young again. Never > thought I could become a doting old sod, but he's done it. ;o) |
