1990 Ford Sierra 2.0 GL review from UK and Ireland
"Got lucky with a Sierra for once!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very slight blue smoke from the exhaust on start-up.
Slight oil leak from rocker cover.
Bits of rust appearing here and there.
General comments?
WOW...is all I can say - this was bought as a cheap runaround till I had enough money to buy something I really wanted, but I've decided to keep it!
I've had Sierras before and they have been awful, but this one is superb - full history, only 2 or 3 small rust scabs (excellent for a 1990 G reg Ford) and 208000 miles on the ORIGINAL engine - I think I've been lucky with this one so it will be used until it dies!
