1990 Ford Fairlane na series 2 review from Australia and New Zealand

Rear brake calipers seize and lock handbrake on. Got new reco ones.

Front discs warp due to solid alloy rims on the car.won't let heat out.

Timing chain cover leaks oil, replace with revised gasket.

Timing chain stretched for the last 40000 going like a slug sounds like a diesel new engine soon replace with EL motor.

Dizzy replaced after it had done 220000 rattled like a rattle.

Head gasket cracked using seal up for the last 3yrs works great.

New radiator when I got the vehicle due to people not pressure back flushing every year.

New water pump november 2003.

Rear main seal in the motor.

Bushes and seal in the back of gearbox.

Couple of idler pulleys.

Gearbox starting to thump into gear sometimes due for a new box.

Rear trailing arm bushes don't last that long I think its due to the length of the car the bushes do a lot of work in the rear end.

Power steer switch goes from time to time, new tie rod ends, radius rod bushes replaced, new aircon compressor and TX valve,

Cabin is very roomy.

Front seats could have been better.

Reasonable performance and economy.

Paint job not great.

Great boot, but my gas tank takes some of it.
