1991 Ford Escort LX review from UK and Ireland
"Trash"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Virtually had to rebuild this rubbish:
Engine gearbox.
Steering rack x2.
Electical faults in the central locking.
3x indicator/light stems fitted.
Seat welds broken, had to have these rewelded back on.
Constant problems with the automatic choke.
New wheel bearings.
New wishbones, half shafts, the list is endless, I will never buy another Escort!
General comments?
A complete piece of British junk.
I also have a mate who has just spent 9000 on the GT version and is having many of the same problems.
