1986 Ford Escort Ghia review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front shocks, windscreen wiper motor, starter motor, battery.
General comments?
Last of the Mk3s - good, reliable, cheap to repair car. Well looked after by previous owners. All the things that went wrong weren't serious and mostly "consumables". Brakes are not that efficient - couple of heart stopping moments!
