1987 Ford Sierra XR4x4 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Chassis has done 140k miles, so it has;
Recon engine £600
Recon gearbox £85
New steering gear £600
New rear suspension £100
Needs new ABS sensors
Air Con bits packed up
General comments?
Great car - both for long hauls and wet-field-fun. The high mileage on this one has taken it's toll though. However, the bodywork & running gear are still OK. The Air Conditioning bits cost about £600 - £800 to replace, so it would need to be a very hot summer!
Suspension bushes need replacing quite regularly (annually) - only about £50.
I've had the car for 3 years.
