Are you sure it is a MK2 Escort rack?
Did you buy it new or second hand. The below picture shows mine fitted to chassis. Does yours look similar?

Would a flipped LHD rack cause this?

As mine is fitted the drop link from the upper steering column connects to the steering rack input which is below the main shaft of the rack. Is yours above or below the main shaft?

That's the problem. The connection from the drop link when the rack is fitted should be below the steering rack main shaft, ie nearer the ground. It sounds like you might have a left hand drive rack which would cause this problem. Have you got a picture we could look at of it? Where did you get the rack from?

Has anybody actual checked the IVA manual to see if turning clockwise is required to make the car go right.. Would be fun to watch the IVA man try and fail the car when there is no section in the manual.
