1991 Ford Sierra 1.8 LX - £950 ono

Recommended Posts

As you've probably read on here I've bought Mr_Lobsters Seat Toledo as i needed something a bit newer for my wife to use (plus i wanted something quicker again!) so my Sierra is now surplus to requirements.

 

I bought it earlier this year of a friend after it had been in his barn since 2006 and spent numerous weekends and lots of money getting it back on the road again, It passed it's first MOT in 9 years a couple of months back and has been my faultless daily driver since doing around 1000 miles.

 

In the time I've had it I've fitted.

 

  • New cambelt & waterpump.
  • New Valve stem seals and RC gasket
  • New fuel pump
  • New front discs and pads and flexi hoses
  • New rear shoes, cylinders, brake pipes and a new handbrake cable
  • A full service with dizzy cap, rotor arm, plug leads etc.
  • New battery
  • Refurbished 15" Cossie alloys with good tyres and genuine Ford locking nuts
  • Tank removed and cleaned out

 

It now drives great and is getting better the more i use it, there's a couple of small faults to keep you busy though.

 

  • The fuel gauge doesn't work, we did clean the sender unit when we removed the tank and it does fire up the gauge, if you fill the tank it works but after 100 miles it drops down again so all i do is keep the tank full and reset the mileometer and just top it up every 200 miles or so.
  • The starter motor has just started every now and then to stick a little and you can hear the bentix is a little slow to return, this hasn't bothered me as it still works without any issue but it might need changing at some point, it's a easy and cheap job though.
  • There's a shallow dent on the offside rear quarter, again it's very minor.
  • I repaired a small dint on the bonnet as well a scab on the dented rear quarter, both repairs are spot on but i stupidly used Halfords pre-mixed paint so the colour is slight darker, it's nothing major though.
  • The original radio doesn't work so it currently has a CD player in it.

 

There's a well filled in service book and paperwork, everything works, electric windows, proper sunroof and central locking and it has two keys. The original steel wheels and tidy wheel trims are included although they will need tyres. 

 

This is a lovely old bus which you can't lose money on, either use it as a interesting daily driver or sort out my dodgy paint match and take it to shows next year and get your money back and more next summer.
