1995 Ford Escort LX Estate review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In 40k miles had 3 starters, ring gear replaced. Water pump failed 2k miles after replacement of cam belts so had to replace again. Charge failed due to common wiring failure. Alarm system imobiliser replaced. Difficult for home mechanic to service. Draught on drivers feet constant. Unable to find cause.
General comments?
I have now sold the car. I usually buy Fords but because of this dog will probably not buy another.
