"Underrated car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

New Spax adjustable lowered suspension at 56,000.

New polypropylene suspension bushes at 59,000.

New offside front driveshaft at 78,000.

New clutch at 110,000.

Had an appetite for compliance bushes, seems to be a Ford design fault because they were the same for all the Sierra's.

General comments?

Great car, fitted Spax adjustable suspension and really sucked the road.

No problems with the engine or transmission. Drive shaft failure was due to being driven hard, clutch was due to wear and tear. Engine like new at 110,000. I only sold it because of the high fuel costs.

Because of the suspension problem, I replaced the normal bushes with polly (power-flex) ones on my XR 4x4. This is because I managed to total wreck ALL the bushes on the rear end on my old sierra. In 4 and a half years of caning, sorry driving, these have given no trouble and people even comment it seams to be more comfortable.
