1994 Ford Escort Standard review from UK and Ireland
"Good runner, annoying faults"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. The Lamda sensor for the oxygen intake for the engine goes up and down and because its fuel injection, this can sometimes cause the engine to randomly stall. Not too much of a problem, but can get annoying. About £100+ to fix.
2. Exhause got ripped off, cost to sort out and now bangs the bottom of the car due to a support link now added to the exhaust.
3. Sometimes get a lag when putting your foot down.
4. General rattles from an Escort.
General comments?
Handles very well in all conditions.
Spacious inside.
Goes well when its in a good mood.
Doesn't leak or burn any oil.
Sunroof as standard.
Always starts and never had a problem with it breaking down.
