My sierra was lowered 35mm all round n it used 2 wear tyres off on the back cause it was 2 low i was sick of swapping Tyres round n buying new tyres. Like i said my old sierra was mint it had full cossie interior n escort cossie wheels it looked mint. I sold it n bought a cossie,which i love but in the first year it must of broke down more than 8 times. Fingers crossed ive got the cossie sorted now.

100 quid thats cheap as chips that carnt complain. U carnt beat driving a cossie the looks u get as u drive down the road. My cossie came with a full service history n 1 of my faults when it broke down was cause the fuel filter had never been changed on a service. It had a date on the side which was from 1992.

Great car!
I also have a 2.0i DOHC 8valve Sierra - I use it as an all-day car...
I believe it´s the best and most reliable engine ever built into a Sierra.
You should get a limited slip differential of a 2WD cossie - easy to build in - drives ALOT better and alot more fun on wet track or in winter
(shouldn´t be that expensive, I believe I paid about 150EUR for a used one)

I had that motor in my Scorpio.. was the best car I have had yet. It got great gas mileage, plenty of power, and could pull broken BMW's any time needed.
just gota replace the headgasket at around 200,000 Km's.

The worst problem with my cossie is 2 b honest the wheel bearing on the drivers side cause the 4x4 cossies tend 2 spin the hub in the bearings n wear the hubs out. They cost 105 quid from ford. I got a second hand hub n hub carrier for 30 quid n since i put it on the abs system has a fault on it ever since i swapped it over. I will look at it 1 day.
