1985 Ford Sierra L Estate review from Norway
"Reliable, but needs maintenance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
