1989 Ford Orion GL review from UK and Ireland
"Good runner, low motoring costs.. recommended"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine breather pipes blocked, causing constant stalling.
Massive loss of compression in one cylinder, eventually leading to replacment of the engine....... ouch!
General comments?
Noisey, rattly gearbox.
Rust.
Starting quite badly as car reached its tenth birthday!
