1994 Ford Escort Minstral (a.ka. mk V) review from UK and Ireland
"What ever happened to the proper Escorts???"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Typical dashboard lights/electric problems, these seem just to affect any Ford on the planet.
New fusebox on Friday (I have been told that this is a v. common problem with mkV Escorts.)
Factory fitted alarm has packed up.
The car is rusting BADLY around the wheel arches.
General comments?
The O.E. stereo is of very high quality.
The dash is very boring, mine hasn't even got a ciggy lighter :- (
