1992 Ford Granada scorpio 24v review from UK and Ireland
"Thinking (poor) man's BMW"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There has been a slight loss of transmission fluid since I aquired the car, but it doesn't seem to have got any worse.
The air conditioning has also not worked since day one, but the solution to this was simply to remove the drive belt, which also releases more power as drag on the engine is reduced.
General comments?
I never get tired of the rapid acceleration, it is one of the very few "banger territory" cars that can quite happily trounce brand new so-called performance cars. e.g, the soon to be released Mondeo ST24 is slower on acceleration and top end!!
