Ford Laser Review, For Sale, Models, Specs & News in Australia
Spawned from Ford’s part-ownership of Mazda, the Laser was based on the same underpinnings as the Mazda 323 and lasted five iterations between 1981 and 2002 in Australia. It was built locally until Ford pulled the plug on its Flemington plant in 1994, and was imported from Japan for the remaining model years. The Laser was succeeded by the European-sourced Focus.
The line-up currently starts at $3,990 for the Laser LXi and ranges through to $7,990 for the range-topping Laser LXi.

What should I do if my 2000 Ford Laser is running rich?
With fuel consumption like that and a smelly, fuming engine, it’s a fair chance that there’s something amiss in the fuelling system. This could be anything from worn injectors to a faulty injection pump, but could also be a simple thing like a dud coolant-temperature sensor or oxygen sensor in the exhaust system that is telling lies to the computer than controls the engine and throwing the engine’s tune way out of whack.
Have the vehicle electronically scanned to see what fault codes are thrown up. And don’t be surprised if the problem is actually something within the ignition system rather than the fuel-injection. Or both.

Ford Lancer 1988: Why is the Ghia cheaper than the GL
Forget the old rules that applied when the car was new, now the ’88 model is just an old clunker and the Ghia pulls about the same money as the GL. When buying a car as old as this the most important thing is not the fruit and features it had when it was sold new it’s the mileage done and its condition that matter.

How to remove possum pee from paintwork
The best way is to wash it off with running water as soon as you see it, the sooner the better. The longer you leave it the greater the chance of damaging the paint. Regular washing and polishing is a way of protecting the paint and making it easier to clean when something is deposited on it. But speed is the essence, when something does happen; don’t leave it too long before doing something about it. If the paint has been damaged try cutting and polishing it.
