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 $3,850 for the Laser LXi and ranges through to $6,000 for the range-topping Laser LXi.

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.

Shuddering Laser automatic
Intermittent problems can be very hard to diagnose because they rarely happen when the mechanic is present. Same with the diagnostic checks, nothing will show up if the engine is running normally when the checks are done. I would be checking the various engine sensors, their connectors and the witting loom, looking for a corroded or poor connection.
