how do i time a 90 ford escort?
The page has been slated for being too untidy. When I originally wrote this page I condensed it down to just the four basic platforms. Remember that what everyone calls the Mark 4 is really the Mark III with a nose-job and different dashboard. Ford themselves don't even use the "Mark" designator to name the different generations and facelift. Equally, the the 1990 model (which everyone calls the Mark 5) is the REAL Mark 4. Then we get to the 1992 and 1995 facelifts of the Mark 4 (or is it the Mark 5), then we get a Mark 6 and a Mark 7 for what is basically the same car as the Mark 4 with the Zetec engines and some bits off the Mondeo.
STOP!!!! Keep it simple.
I've simplified the page down a great deal and dealt with the facelifts separately.
There's no Mark 6 Escort! It's only the third restyle of the Mark 5! I should know it, as I worked in one of their European plants back then!
Would it be OK to add my Ford Escort forum to the links. We have loads of technical info and pictures on there, aswell as discussion boards. We have members from all round the world and it's free to register too. Thanks in advance. [1] 81.98.119.159 20:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
There seems to be a bit of confusion about whether the first use of the "Escort" name was on an Anglia or a Popular. The top paras say Anglia, the last para of the Mk I section says Popular. Reading the linked articles, it seems that what may have happened is that the Popular at the time (early sixties) was a badged version of the Anglia, and therefore the estate "Escort" was a version of both/either.
Can someone who knows for sure cast some light on this? Umbriel 07:52, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
This is wrong, the Lancia Delta Intergrale is. I have changed it to one of the most successful rally cars

Maybe it's worth starting a separate article about Escort RS Cosworth ? Technically it's a different car, keeping just visual resemblance with usual Escort. It had a longitudally-mounted Cosworth YB engine (while Escort mk V had transversally-mounted one), all-wheel drive and a floorpan from Sierra Cosworth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Basilex ( talk • contribs) 17:27, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
I've started an Escort RS Cosworth page but it needs a lot of work, can anyone help?? Needs more information and facts and figures. Thanks in advance! Be quick before someone deletes it as un-encyclopedic!! scancoaches 13:36, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
I think the statement about airbages on the Mark Vb needs to be changed. It reads:
The crash structure was also improved, featuring side impact bars, improved crumple zones and later on, airbags.
I had a 1993 L-reg bog-standard 1.3 model, and it had a driver's airbag; I also saw an M-reg LX variant and it had 2. So they obivously had airbags from the start.

It was? This statement appears in the text. I know about the car being built in Germany and Britain (and after a bit also Spain). But I have not come across any reference to its having been built in any Commonwealth countries. Is anyone able to spell out which Commonwealth countries the writer might have had in mind, please?

In the main article of WRC, Fiat and Lancia Stratos appears as champions on main 70's, contradicting this article. What info is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.48.36.172 ( talk) 20:45, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm going to propose that this bit of massive speculation be removed entirely. The only sources I can find referring to a 2011 Escort describe it as a hybrid to compete with the Prius, and those are both blog posts (from as far back as 2007, no less) that don't refer to any hard source themselves. (Also, the bit about the "Clark Mason RS 1600" seems a bit odd.) Unless, of course, there's better information out there to prove me wrong. Duncan1800 ( talk) 07:00, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Please can editors familiarise themselves with WP:External links before adding or restoring external links to this page. Please note in particular that links to general Ford owners clubs are not acceptable here as they would clearly end up being added to multiple articles - see WP:ELNO no 13.

I'd like to request a new separate page for the XR3i. This was EXTREMELY popular in the mid 80s, and it seems a shame we're missing out an exclusive page on it. Ruislick0 ( talk) 23:32, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
I had a mk4 escort eclipse, it was H reg and was 1.4 petrol. There is no mention of it under the mk4 section. I don't really remember much about it. I believe it only came in 2 colours, blue and maroon. And I recall being told it was the last model made for the mk4, how true I don't know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.214.83.34 ( talk) 13:57, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi fellas, I need some advice. I have had in my possession for many years (since 1975) a magazine article that details how Ford (officially observed by the Royal Automobile Club) achieved 2.4 litres per 100 km (118.7 mpg) from a 1300 Mark 2 Escort by extensively modifying all mechanicals to the overall detriment of the car (i.e. 1100 head, soft valve springs, removal of some piston rings, removal of all gears except top, removal of some engine bearings, cutting down on bearing seals, replacement of all glass with perspex, removal of front brakes, fitting 12-inch wheels with radials then shaving the contact patch to an inch wide, etc.). The exercise was to prove that something has to be sacrificed for an improvement in fuel economy, and that economy is reduced when reliability, performance, etc. are put back into a car. My question is: Would this be too 'out there' for the main article, or is it sufficiently interesting to merit a mention? I would appreciate any feedback. Cheers.
