1989 Ford Escort Bonus review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In 75K miles, the following apart from routine servicing:-
1 De-Coke.
1 Alternator.
1 Water Pump.
When the car was part exchanged, it was ready for another de-coke.
Beginning to rust on the roof!
As I used non-franchised dealers for most of the car's life, the dealer service varied.
General comments?
This was a good car. It never broke down and was normally off the road only twice a year for routine servicing.
I replaced it with a new Renault Megane (my comments are in the Renault Section).
This was a mistake. A case of better the devil you know.
