Under the bonnet.

 

 

 

Any specific place

 

Look for a 3 pin socket with a cap on it either on the chassis rail behind the RH headlight or over by the battery

 

 

 

Im guessing the obd reader i purchased off u steve wont read this escort then

 

No mate. My reader talks to the ecu through the obd port using the dcl protocol - early cars use Star Test. You connect a test meter or led from the battery to one pin on the connector and short the other one to ground. The meter or led then shows codes as pulses. You count the pulses and look them up in a fault code chart.
