1982 Ford Courier review from Australia and New Zealand
"Very good value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The shock absorbers failed after 520000 kilometres.
The seat springs have collapsed.-
The main bearings are slapping the walls.-
The head gasket split in two places.
The carburettor needs rebuilding.
General comments?
On the whole, the Ford Courier is the most efficient vehicle for carrying goods that I have owned.
The Ford Courier is fast, accelerates well, climbs hills extremely well under load and corners well.
