1985 Ford Granada Scorpio review from UK and Ireland
"Comfortable, powerful, well equipped and definitely a bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Auto box failed at 150,000 - replaced with secondhand box at £150, heated seat elements failed at about 160,000, air con has never worked (needs charging), speedo takes a little while to warm up and give a correct speed reading.
General comments?
This car has passed the last 2 MOT's (no preparation beforehand) with nothing more than a torn steering gaiter on both occassions. I paid £300 for this car at an auction.
