1988 Ford Sierra GLSi review from UK and Ireland
"At 60ukp, a bargain!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust rusted shortly after purchase, engine oil sump perforated by rust above x-member (engine out to change), steering rack is due soon.
General comments?
I bought the car as an insurance write-off for next to nothing. Re-build of rear end quite cheap (I was working in a bodyshop at the time). A few rusty panels but overall cheap to run and maintain.
