1988 Ford Escort Popular review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Welding needed to get through last MOT.
Rear lights connectors need regular cleaning or else you get the famous Ford disco (ie you indicate and the brake lights flash or the reverse light comes on!).
General comments?
A poor engine - not strong enough to give the car any power.
Good second car however, and cheap to run and insure.
