Suspension failed twice (due to rough roads rather than a fault)
Alternator replaced once.
Wheel alignment on a regular basis (again, due to rough dirt roads)
Door handles exhibited the usual faults with this era Ford, needed replacing twice.
Serious power & comfort
Very reliable.
The ZL series has a very comfortable ride hight, but the only thing that bothers me is the electronic air filter system. cold weather takes it's toll on the electrical system.
My ZL has done 330,000 and shows no signs of slowing, we live on a gravel road and have done almost half these km again on this crap road. It is graded once a year, if we are lucky. Despite this she is still going strong. My problem is that I have been offered a family deal on a 94 Falcon Futura with 210 on the clock, apparently it is in very good cond and has been well maint We also own a 93 GLI ED Falcon which we have had for approx 4 years recond the power steer and steering. Need advice on which one to get rid of, I'm in favour of the falcon cause I hate the way you sit in it and the way it handles on the road sorry I used to drive a 65 Galaxie and I love a big car - I feel safer... help?
True, the ZL fair-lane is a good car to have, very reliable and has go when you need it, YES HAS GO!. I drive my dads car and his car is a ZL and has done 449,000KM and is still going strong wish I can say the same about the body from all the accidents my father has had. I drive this car every day and hasn't broke down on me, I do recommend this car as a cruiser or an every day car as long as you service it every 6 mouth's then you'll be fine, sure does have some problem's here and there, but all low cost problem's and usually no money spent on the motor except for oil, oil filter, air filter, etc.
