  We're looking to replace our Omega Estate, and with three children (7,5,1 yrs) need a full five-seater. As well as the third diagonal rear seat belt being essential, I wonder - is it 'ergonomically correct' to consign one of our children to sit on the central portion of the rear seat - what
• Peugeot 309 boot leak 10 Feb 2001 (Forum)
  My Pug 309 has a leak in the boot which seem common to all 309's and the bad thing about it is that you get a large build up of water under the rear seats which in time will badly stain or ruin them all together and effects its re-sale value. Does anybody know how I can stop this leak ?
