Front brake discs warped at 90,000m.
Catalytic Converter failed MOT at 100,000m.
Battery failed at 109,000m. Due to draining to earth by a dodgy bit of after-market wiring!
Buttons on trip computer not functioning correctly (niggly, not serious).
Front windscreen's 'Quickclear' system only clears about 50% of screen - some heating elements not working. (Been like that since I had it)
Car has been incredibly reliable and has only ever let me down due to the battery being drained as mentioned.
The car starts first time, all the time. OK, apart from when I'm a dork and flood the engine and then have to call the RAC and look very stupid!
OK, no-one really likes the exterior (especially the font end), but the car is very comfortable and pleasant to drive. It handles well for a car of its size (and, let's face it, manufacturer). It is, however, unsettled by bumps on bends.
Performance isn't top-notch. I guess a 2 litre engine isn't really enough to pull the car's weight. It will accelerate briskly enough to overtake without major dramas.
The buttons on the Trip Computer can get dirty inside and this throws it out - see the Ford Scorpio Owners web site for instructions on how to clean them. In fact, see it for all aspects of the car!
When a battery is failing the electrics in the car get jumpy - this is a warning to get a new battery rather than failing electrics.
