Ye tell me about it, what happened to the phrase " VOLVO FOR LIFE"

It seems parts started to dry up when FORD got involved.

Any body tried getting parts for a 10 year old escort, no chance...

I'm not sure it's specifically related to Ford. There's pretty decent support for old Escorts (mk1, mk2), etc...as there is for old Volvos (Amazons, etc)...but the 80s stuff is where we suffer. The manufacturers just don't think there's demand...AND they think it's keeping us from buying new cars. Both wrong, for most people, in my eyes.

cheers

James

May be but you may find that the parts for sale for the mk 1-2 escorts are not Genuine ford panels but pattern parts made by specialist firms.
But you are right about the shortfall of 80,s parts inc ford's try getting a new front wing (genuine) for a mk3 capri!!!
