1987 Ford Sierra CL review from Estonia
"Fantastic performance and handling"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My engine began taking oil and head gasket blew at 210000 km.
Valve gaskets replaced at 180000 km.
Intake and exhaust gaskets been replaced at 150000km.
I replaced the engine at 210000 km.
General comments?
When I replaced the engine, I put 2,0 instead of old, what was 1,8 litres. After that it is a great car.
It runs great and 200km/h is not a problem with that car.
Seats are comfortable and shape of the car is great, just like modern cars.
It has an exellent handling.
I tuned up the engine a little and has more power than it needs, it speeds up great.
Fantastic car.
