1989 Ford Sierra LX review from UK and Ireland
"Trusty but aged"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The cylinder head gasket had failed, and then it s tarted to burn oil.
General comments?
I managed to fit a replacement engine from an injection granada, though my car is a carb model,the twin cam engine only needed the injector holes blanking off. 3 years later, it is still very fast, and generally reliable, though I never brag about the car as it is a model regarded as old hat now!!!
