yep yep so true just treat your escort service it regulary etc and it will be fine. my mates are scared to go in mine because the old engine kept cutting out and breaking down before it died..now i got a new engine test drove it to essex and back and was running super smooth....i love it!!! im going to do an oil and filter change, and give it a new air filter this easter......dont have a girl to treat out so thought might aswell treat my car (which happens to me my baby anyway) ..
