The Ford diesels were ok as long as you take care of the cam belt and pulleys. lso the Lucas pump will give you trouble if you start with additives in the 1.8TD. In fact this is their weak point.
The older Ford generations are not very famous in europe, we say they are a decade behind competition technology.
If you do not care about rust- (be careful with british made models!) go ahead.
