1984 Ford Orion Ghia Injection review from UK and Ireland
"Fast, economical, reliable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump relay (twice), ignition amplifier (twice), new radiator, brake shudder for last two years, so far unsolved!
General comments?
The things that have failed on this car are nothing really, considering it still has the original engine (valve stem oil seals replaced). Even the clutch and clutch cable are original!
Unbelievable! The car is still very fast and economical, returning over 40 mpg on a run.
Any ideas on how to cure the brake shudder though!?
