1985 Ford Orion Ghia (Mk. 1) review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gearbox mounting had to be changed about a week ago, but this is the first time they've been changed since the car was made!
The relay switch had to be changed because the car wouldn't start if you drove for a while and then stopped.
General comments?
My second car (previously owned an '81 escort) The car is comfortable - bloody quick and cheapish and easy to modify and fix. I love it !
