StewLX Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hi guys bought my escort just this Sunday, not bad for £650 if you ask me. http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2484/197/83/558760231/n558760231_6158277_2208.jpg http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2484/197/83/558760231/n558760231_6158281_3293.jpg She's a 1998 1.8LX Estate a good runner although I do need to take a look at one or two bits and bobs. Got to take a look at the front brakes as they seem to stick when applied heavily. Also seemed a bit down on power when I got it but I've sorted that, looks like someone serviced it and forgot to tighten the jubilee clip just after the MAF. Plus a couple of bits of rust to look at too. Something I do need help with though. Does anyone know an easy way of clipping the honey comb lower grill back onto the bumper with out having to take the front bumper off? P.s if anyone has a rear load cover going cheap let me know!

StewLX Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 I couldn't tell you what colour it is TBH this is my first ford haha, where can I find out? It was bought from a fairly local car dealer, had only been there a week and has got 12 months mot and tax till august. He even gave me £50 for my rover which was a wreck on wheels Yeah I mean the roller blind type thing that goes in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
