1990 Ford Sierra review from Latvia
"It keeps the driver happy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch went after three months of hard driving on tarmac and gravel roads on a daily basis.
Steering rubbers must be replaced at least every year, because of hot dusty summer driving being plus 30C and in the winter it is minus 30C with deep snow and by the law studded tyres must be used, great fun to drive on.
Oils are changed on a very regular basis and the dist/cap too changed and Ht leads and plugs too.
General comments?
A German built Ford which is great fun to drive and can match many BMW's and many more other models too... just watch it go over the many gravel roads and when I hit tarmac roads it is just a dream (pity the wife does not respond like the car does)
