1989 Ford Sierra L review from UK and Ireland
"A well thrashed car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery tray had rotted away.
Sills replaced recently.
3 new doors.
Axle replaced.
Prop shaft replaced.
Floor needed welding.
Rear wheel arches very rusted.
Wiring loom touched the exhaust manifold and burnt in half.
Engine has just blown.
General comments?
It's lethal on wet roundabouts - the back end slides out and it is very difficult to rectify when this happens. Hood handling in the dry.
The engine is loud at high revs.
Excellent driving position and more than decent performance for a 17 year old.
