1994 Ford Escort LX TD review from UK and Ireland
"It's a good job I am a qualified engineer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuse box/central junction box blows PCB tracks.
Engine shut off solenoid.
Alarm goes off for no apparent reason.
Water hoses are rotten already.
General comments?
Performance is good for a diesel, comfort and handling are quite good.
Reliability? WELL YOU CAN RELY ON IT TO BREAKDOWN ABOUT EVERY 500 MILES!!!!
