Ok peeps first of all hello im new to the forum.

I have a feew minor problems, I bought my escort yesterday its a great car but with a few minor problems.

1) the rear bumper need replacing - its a colour coded pepper red bumper - are these easy to get hold of on the cheap (from a scrap yard / breakers) and are they easy to replace once getting hold of ?

2) the internal light wont turn on or off when opening the door - is this just a fuse problem?

3) the lights on the dash wont turn off unless i take the fuse out - what can i do to solve this?

4) is it possible to attach roof bars on my model of Escort? - it is an X Reg 2000 i believe

any help with any of these issues would be much appreciated as although i am new to cars I do want to learn how to solve simple issues like these without sending it to a garage and being charged a fortune just for a broken fuse or needing to clean and resolder a connection

thanks in advance !!!!!! :)
