Ruptured fuel line.
Leaking radiator.
Differential broke in 2!
No wonder with 220 Hp and 280Nm!
Front brake pads replaced 2 times already. Within 8000 Km.
With 220 BHP it just pulls and pulls and pulls :-)
It goes 185Km per hour... and then you shift to fifth!
With a 4-link kit/panhard rod/antidive set and coilovers allround it handles great. All I need now is a cure for oversteer!
220 BHP! Its certainly not an ordinary Escort! What modifications have you conducted? Is it a pinto or a V6?
No wonder your axle broke!
