1993 Ford Granada LX review from UK and Ireland
"High quality transport that repays regular servicing with remarkable reliability and longevity"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch cable at 210,000.
ABS problem at 200,000, cutting in when braking at walking speeds but it was only dirty sensors.
Head gasket at 180,000 - so who's complaining!
General comments?
Wonderful ride, brakes, steering.
Quiet and effortless progress. Still brisk enough when asked in normal A & B road conditions, but amazing on motorways at 70+. Feels so safe.
Consumption getting down to low 30s overall, but, again, who's complaining?
Passengers love it as much as I do.
Never been garaged so bodywork not pristine. Rusting arches.
I only wish I could find this engine in a current car eg Rover 75.
