Repeated engine electrical faults.
Worn carburetor caused starting problems.
Head gasket blew after 2 weeks.
Nice, luxurious, but hideously thirsty car.
Drove well, but was unreliable.
Hi, I just got a Ford Granada from my grandfather. I am not sure what to think of it yet. The last time I filled up the 15 gallon gas tank I had only gotten 150 miles off of the last one. I have been trying to fix the timing and carborator. If anyone out there knows the proper timing sequence for this vehicle I could greatly use your help. I think if I can get the gas mileage to some where around 15 miles per gallon I might actually enjoy the vehicle.
15mpg from a granada? they were thirsty, but never that bad! or are you in the Usa? you had a different granada to Europe.
The Granada mk2 was a big square car, which was very popular when I was a teenager.
Dead square in shape is how all cars should be.
With plenty of leg room in the back, it had a great sounding V6 engine. You could hear the valve ticking noise.
Great to drive, comfortable and wicked...
The only thing bad about it (if you were on a low salary) was the fuel consumption.
