Hi guys and thanks for the welcome.
I recently bought a mint 1992 MK5 Escort Cabriolet first registered in April 1992..
She moondust silver and on a J plate. She is the xr3i 1.8 16 valve.
All points to the 130ps version.Sticker on air intake says 130ps but that isn't a convincing way of being sure. Stickers can be changed.
has the MX75 gearbox with the need to pop up a ring to select reverse.
I first thought there was a problem with reverse and then felt like an idiot hehe when I realised I had to lift up the ring to select.
My problem is, I bought her and was told she is the 130ps version. But my understanding is that the 130 had disc brakes all round. On my cabriolet looks very like drums on the rear although I haven't taken a wheel off to confirm
Maybe only the 130 XR3i hatchbacks and not the Cabriolets had discs all round.? Any advice would be great. Thanks a bunch.
