340 GL/DL
340 GL/DL
I'm not sure if this should go here or gen.tech but I'm sure it doesn't matter that much!
Can someone please give me a clue as to what the differences are between the 340 DL and the 340 GL?
I drive a GL but i know i have the instrument panel from something else (360?) as it has a revcounter instead of a clock (my uncle fitted it himself)
I've seen afew DLs around, but can't really work out at a glance what's different
cheers

I'm not so sure about the later 340's, but the 1st and 2nd generation GL's had extra 'luxury' features like heated seats (automatic), tinted windows, passenger side mirror, headlamp wash/wipe, adjustable lumbar support, mudflaps, etc etc etc

V6man is right, a GL has some extras: tinted windows, adjustable lumbar support, the console around the handbrake etc...

dl
gl
gle
or any other badging its just a 1.4 volvo 340 the low of the low

the only things she does not have is

Some late 340s were badged and sold simply as '340' (same with 740s). It's a base-spec model, yes, but ironically better specced than earlier base models, as they were trying to sell the last of the cars!
