Oil leak from the sump (not very serious).
Central locking to rear drivers side door.
Great car, already done a lot of miles and I put another 10k on it.
Oil leaks from the sump, apparently because of how close the exhaust sits, 10 years of going from hot to cold have corroded the metal.
Respectibly fast for the engine size.
Nice thick tyres, holds the road well.
Engine rattles bad, can't be fixed easily (not the tappet's).
Reliable and great car.
I have run several escorts and agree.
The HCS 1.3 engine is always noisy (sounds rattly) but

I have one and what a beast of a little car, it goes alright as well.
