1992 Ford Escort XR3i 16v 130 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuse box is prone to busting, also the light and indicator stalks.
Tyres wear very quickly due to no one actually knowing the correct setting. Trying to get parts is very difficult for the 130.
Front brake discs aren't at all standard on the 130.
Engine knocking noise.
General comments?
Great first car, quite quick, nice looking mk5 version, a little expensive for what it is. Have dropped a body kit on it and everyone stares wherever I go. People always want to steal it, so if you get one keep it locked away. A fun car, just change the suspension.
