1989 Ford Escort LX review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Three carbs, two starter motors, two alternators, all shockers twice and masses of electrical faults, mainly to do with lighting, and all this was in just two years of ownership!
General comments?
I would never buy another Ford again, which is a shame really because I really like the look of the Mondeo.
