1988 Ford Sierra IS 2.0

Summary:

A sheep funny wagon from Ford

Faults:

Fuel tank had to be replaced in October for the check.

And my fuel pump had to be replaced too some weeks later.

General Comments:

This is a very funny car that does not cost so much...

With its 115 hp it really kicks ass.

1985 Ford Sierra L 2.0

Summary:

Cheap, reliable and steady

Faults:

It always starts and keeps running. No problems at all.

General Comments:

The car has served me well. I've put on some lowering springs, replaced the front brakes, as well as dampers both front and rear, though this wasn't really required.

Top speed is a bit low, but acceleration is quite good. Fuel economy is not very good, due to the over-sized wheels I've put on, I guess, and me being a little heavy with the right foot.. :)

1985 Ford Sierra L Estate 2.0L petrol

Summary:

Reliable, but needs maintenance

Faults:

Last week the generator started making a terrible noise, got a "new" one from a 1986 Sierra.

The clutch replaced 3 years ago at about 200 000 kilometers (?).

Poor handbrake cable.

Front door locks are a bit worn-out.

General Comments:

It's a reliable car.

Because it has been well maintained, it's in good shape considering its age.

It's not at all a luxurious car.

1985 Ford Sierra S 2.0L injection

Summary:

Unreliable, cheap and fun car

Faults:

The camshaft had to be replaced at 180.000km.

Gearbox replaced at 200.000km.

Seats are badly worn.

Front wheel bearings are worn.

Front brake discs are worn.

Bearing for the steering axle is worn.

Slip-clutch on the cooling fan behind the radiator has stuck.

Eats front tires.

General Comments:

The car is quite quick for its age and size, and handles quite well. It's rear wheel driven, and as such is very predictable and forgiving if you push it past its limits.

However, not the most reliable car I've had, it doesn't run well when cold, and has a habit of stopping from time to time, probably just a minor problem, but annoying anyway...

1984 Ford Sierra L 2.0 SOHC

Summary:

A good car to trust on..

Faults:

Lots of trouble with this car, almost everything has gone wrong and it has now starting to rust!

General Comments:

It's a very reliable car, it starts every morning and has never stopped.

I don't want to blame the producer for all the faults, most of the problems are caused by earlier owners, that has not treated the car right.
