Fuse boxes do go on them now and again, when mine was causing problems there seemed to be a couple of diffrent part numbers & I seem to remember ford wanting something stupid like £280 for one as luck would have it we found an escort ghia at the auctions for alot less then ford wanted for a fuse box!

Common but like anything on an escos buy a new one and do it right

Ive heard these are still available from fords but are £500.

Pay it, Its a worthwhile repair!

I paid £200+ from Ford. I've got a spare now too, from a MK5 XR3I, which looks identical.
