1989 Ford Escort D review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just tyres and a coolant leak that I know of.
General comments?
Diesels are the slowest cars you can buy but you don't have to change gear all the time, because of the big fat wad of torque it's got, it'll pull from nothing but you'll be hard pushed to get it much over 70.
