Oh yeah definitely, It'll most likely be a case of new pads/discs/suspension components?

If your changing the fluid I'd have all the calipers off first to check them for free movement/ seal condition etc and get them all cleaned up if it's been stood around a while.

That's the plan I think mate, I'm assuming calipers for a Mk5 Escort aren't easy to get hold of anymore lol

Don't suppose anyone knows where to get an exhaust for a 1.8 Zetec? All the eBay ones look dodgy
