I believe 2 people have red GLT's in the club...
But not with a matching red licenseplate!

Can't believe there's been all this discussion about Leuven and not a word's been uttered about Stella!
Mmm...Stella...

I'm still planning to go a meet. But something comes up always, so i can't go

. I hope there will be a meet this during summer break, i'll have lots a time then.
Good idea by the way to invite Aymat, Bodejodel! He seems so lonely sometimes on his own in belgium....

hello,
it's not a joke, I'm really from Belgium, Leuven. What a small world
My grandfather gave me his 340 DL 1,4 '98. I always liked that car so I wanted to get some information on the internet. Ofcourse you all can understand that this site was quite a surprise to me. To find a community with 340 lovers.
So, as I was saying, my grandfather gave me his white 340 DL completely without rust and only 40.000 km's! This sounds really good, I know. But I'm sure there are things to watch out for with old cars. And the 1,4 engine is not the best, I've heard. Please let me know if there's things to watch out for...

Other than the fact it eats rotor arms and caps at a stupid rate, it's not bad at all! I've had mine over 4 years and thats all thats been needed engine wise (apart from service items)

Indeed, nothing wrong with the 1.4.
If you maintain them well they can last over 300.000... (but then it is REALLY axhausted!)
