1991 Ford Sierra LX review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable but boring"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake discs warped and needed changing twice!
Gearbox has started getting a bit noisy recently.
Alternator started draining the battery when the engine was switched off. Strangely it still charged when the engine was running.
General comments?
Quite good performance for a diesel, with impressive low down torque.
An excellent motorway car, the faster you go the quieter it gets! 40 mpg even at high speeds.
The engine will probably go on for ever. Doesn't use a drop of oil even after 120,000 miles.
