thanks a million for your advice. I’ve another project currently being sorted (Volvo 850 AWD - V70R 300bhp hybrid engine rebuild) back home in Ireland so plan is to use the Volvo in Germany while the Sierra gets sorted out back home with a mechanic mate of mine (he’s sorting out the Volvo engine rebuild at the moment) and then bring that back to Germany once ready. May be in touch with you at a later date if you are free to answer possible future questions that may crop up as that build progresses such as modifying the wiring to the ecu etc (that would be really helpful).

Spoiler to be replaced


I’ve managed to meet up with a Ford nut around 1.5hrs west of Munich who has supplied me with Good set of front Cosworth Recaro seats for only €80.00 and a nice RS spoiler for €20.00 to replace the sagging spoiler on my own car.

So I’ve got those ready to go to a reupholster here in Munich to stitch the Ghia Apollo fabric onto the Recaros to keep the interior as stock as possible but with more comfortable seats.
