1991 Ford Scorpio 2.9 review from UK and Ireland
"Affordable luxury car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust at 82,000.
Air conditioning heat exchanger electric fan failed 3 times.
Fuse box intermittent.
Auxillery warning system intermittent.
Rear calliper handbrake levers prone to seize.
New front discs at 77,000.
Radio amplifier failed at 51,000.
Auxilary alarm failed at 44,000.
General comments?
Excellent bodywork to date, only a couple of blebs over the rear arches to date.
Not a town car, auto-box hunts about at lower speeds - excellent cruiser returning good consumption on motorway runs.
Overall excellent value with only minor and comparatively inexpensive niggles.
Wish Ford had paid more attention to providing a more flexable auto box.
