1990 Ford Escort LX review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major at all at about 60k other than exhaust and battery, which are to be expected.
New shocks are also needed soon. Lockable petrol cap seized and a couple of niggling lighting faults are about all.
General comments?
Does not like being left out in the wet, but provided it is garaged it is a very good and reliable second car, ride in back is not great especially on the motorway where it drums. The 1.6 means it is quite a lively little car.
