1989 Ford Escort XR3i review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition amplifier at 75K.
Clutch at 90K.
Original Alternator gave up at 134K.
Starter motor gave up at 133K.
No 3 cylinder exhuast valve burnt out at 134K.
General comments?
As the only items, other than consumables, that I have had to replace have been at high milages I am extremly impressed by the cars durability.
Even after 135K miles there is no serious rust, the interior is superb and the car drives like it did when I bought it.
Spax sport shock absorbers and springs are a better bet than the Ford ones.
