1989 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth review from UK and Ireland
"A proper drivers car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It has been a very reliable car so far, nothing major has gone wrong just a couple of things.
The turbo actuator went which resulted in lack of power, the boost pressure dropped to 5 psi.
Turbo pipes needed replacement.
The fan belt and power steering belts needed replacement.
General comments?
The power of this car is unbeatable. It feels as if you have been hit up the rear by a formula one car, when you put your toe down and the turbo cuts in!
The handling is superb it goes where you point it. But don't put the power down on corners, it twitches about and can spin out easy!
The interior is very nice, the recaro sports seats hold you well.
All the usual electrics inside windows/mirrors etc.
