1989 Ford Falcon S Pack review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good comfortable and great to drive. Bargain car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Motor was very tired so I took it upon myself to rebuild it.
The drivers window winding mechanism broke and had to be replaced.
The rear vision mirror fell off. Probably due to excessive bass..
Power steering pressure pump failed and spat all the fluid out onto the exhaust and made it look as if the car was on fire!
General comments?
I can't fault my EA. It has been more than reliable with only a few minor faults, especially seeing as everything except the motor has seen 350,000ks of travel.
It goes well, but is fairly thirsty around town. It is fantastic on the highway.
Overall a terrific, comfortable, reliable and good fun car to own.
Hundreds of good fun memories and it will be in the family for a lot longer!
