1989 Ford Sierra Turnier LX review from Lithuania
"Very comfortable car, strong and patient one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My gearbox crashed at ~100000 km.
Changed silent-blocks.
Change shock absorbers every 20000 (we have a lot of gravel and other bad quality roads in Lithuania, that I drive trough everyday).
Driver and back doors got rotten.
Roof window doesn't like rain and snow - got stuck.
Changed all bearings.
General comments?
2.3 diesel engine is unbreakable.
However, diesel engine is very lazy and slow (too slow).
