1984 Ford Telstar AR Ghia review from Australia and New Zealand
"A high performance expense"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew next day I bought it.
Had to replace rear wheel bearings.
Replaced rear light socket.
Replaced front left indicator socket.
Replaced timing belt.
Boot seals are worn, water leaking in car.
Replaced engine mounts.
Replaced exhaust.
Replaced alternator.
Replaced back left sway bar.
General comments?
Car has been pretty expensive to run, but over all it's a good little comfortable car. To have done about 60,000km in 1 year without too many problems (hah) is alright.
