1987 Ford Granada GLi review from UK and Ireland
"Lots of cruiser for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering rack sprung a leak, cheap fix to get it through MOT.
Rear brake pads.
Idle sensor a bit dodgy now at 105,000, but easy to work around.
Bad tyre threw out the ABS sensors, leading to the ABS cutting in when it shouldn't. Easily solved by replacement of tyre.
Middle section exhaust went at 100,000 - again, cheap fix.
General comments?
I absolutely love my Granada.
Very quick, comfortable, brilliant for long journeys, handles like a dream since the power steering rack was replaced.
Cheap parts.
Lots of extras, bells and whistles. Sounds like a Beamer when the transmission kicks down!
