1991 Ford Sierra Sapphire LX review from UK and Ireland
"Hate it at the moment, can't find an engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My first MOT on the car I had to have new front brake discs and pads, and a bit of welding on the sill, also front compliance bushes.
Nothing on my most recent MOT, but my tyres and headlight adjusted, but when I got home smoke was everywhere. On removing my head, I found a hole and crack in my number 4 piston. Still looking for a second hand engine, hard to find a good one.
General comments?
Very nice car for the price.
