This is a 1986 Ford Escort Diesel 5-speed. It is rare in that it is a diesel and there were not many of these sold here in the U.S. I think this is about as clean of a car as you will find for the year and model. I purchased this car with about 34,XXX miles on it from a fellow who had purchased it from an elderly woman who had had it in her garage for years and had barely driven it. As far as I can tell these are the original miles. I ran a carfax and there is nothing to suggest otherwise. I have had a little over $2,500 worth of work done since I purchased it. Mostly cleaning everything up and replacing things that needed to be replaced from sitting. We are selling because we are looking for a small truck and do not have a need for this car anymore.
The Good: The car runs great and has been consistently getting 45-50 mpg. It is very clean. Interior is great. All of the electronics work. I have done maintenance to get it up to speed. Low miles. No Rust. I wouldn't hesitate to drive the car across the country.
The Bad: It does have a crack in the dash above the steering wheel. It does leak a small amount of oil which I believe is coming from the oil pan seal. It leaked/burned less than half a quart in 3,000 miles and it has a 7.2 quart oil capacity. A/C needs to be recharged.
You can Check out the video I made on YouTube here: http://youtu.be/59yLvpuEROc
Here is a list of things that have been done in the past 6 months. I have receipts for all the work that has been done. I also have the original owners guide along with the supplemental guide for the 2.0 liter escort diesel.
- Diesel fuel pump removed and rebuilt (little over $500)
- Fuel Filter Replaced
- New Starter
- 2 front tires are new with about 3,000 miles on them, rear tires have about 65% tread left
- Water pump replaced
- timing belt replaced
- camshaft oil seal and crank oil seal replaced
- Brake fluid bled and replaced
- Tie rod replaced on front right
- front and rear suspension new
- Oil pressure sender replaced
- expansion block/orifice tube replaced
- coolant temperature sensor/switch for idle kicker replaced
- cleaned brakes
- glow plugs replaced
- New Brake master cylinder
Please let me know if you have any questions. Again, I have posted a youtube video that can be seen at the following link:

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.
