As said Haynes don't do a cossie manual, but the other ones like 903 cover the mechanical bits that are the same on a cossie as std sierra, It's mainly the box, rack, diff, ecu that are different apart from the engine of course, lots of other little bits too.
The std manual 903 does not cover(I think) V6's, but the 904 does, either one will do, I have both and the 903 has got to be the better one.

The electrical equipment is the same as that of a 'Ghia' model so I always use the normal Sierra manual for wiring diagrams and reference and the 2WD shell is same as any other Sapphire shell.

4x4 has reinforced wings in addition and supposidly 2WD has foam in the A pillars but never checked that.

So really only things different are mentioned earlier.

Tabetha out of interest whats the difference between normal sierra rack and Cosworth one?

Kind regards,

Martin.

I believe it's the same ratio as a standard one but only 2.6 turns lock to lock as oposed to 3 as the rack is restricted.

The rack has got a limited throw compared with normal racks, so as not to rub on full lock.
