If so i might get it.

Or an average (ie a lil shoddy ) f reg 2litre GLSi for 150quid.

Or a mint 1.8 on a J for 350ish

Comeon, I wanna saff runaround

I like the idea of a black TD but dunno, wat we think boys n gals?

 

I'd go for the td myself if it's a run around.. Just for the simple fact of it's 31k mint-ness!

 

wont be mint when im done with it, believe me

tbh it prob quicker than the 1.8 pertol anyhow!

and being turbo means I can play with the boost n shit too, lol

 

go red cheep though

 

anyone else know much about non cos saffs got an opinion?

 

the 18tD is slower than a 1 litre petrol

slowest saff ever

 

Well my K reg 2.0 GLSi is without a doubt the best motor i've ever had, had it twelve years........fucking bulletproof

 

I cant decide what to do

How fucked you reckon a 150quid GLSi is? Just dont want it to be totally rotton, wheras the TD is minter than mint.

 

TD!

 

my old man bought a saff ghia from new (H reg) was proper mint, only done 90k and then i got it - 2 months later, and new exhaust and the fookin timing chain snaps

oh well its gonna be back on the road with a few cossie panels so it will look faster than it goes

 

If its a run around then get the TD for defo.

And i thought the earlier diesel engines were the 2.3litre jobies???

 

if you dont care about power, go for the 2.0 glsi... (they still nippy enuf to keep up with modern 1.4 / 1.6s )

if you do care about power, forget the sierra, buy a granada

but please god dont buy a saph TD

if you want a derv buy a VW or a Pug (ie something decent) not a sierra

 

I;d go for the TD as its a RUNaround

Not very fast, but it should be reliable considering milage plus you can play with teh boost, not that you'll get owt

 

Jim- I wanted RWD, I wanted a saff, I wanted somthing I could play with the engine, I wanted somthing that is in decent nick, so the TD is the only one that fufilled them requirements.

But TBH I been so busy all weekend (having fun) I didnt bother getting fuck all.

 

i dont think you all realise hwo shit the 18TD is

its comparable to a 1.2 non-turbo diesel

 

i dont think you realise how little notice of your opinion im taking

 

but i'm the expert on slow sierras

 

jus outa interest, you got any bhp/torque and "performance" figures for TD saffs?

 

about 80bhp/110 lb/ft from memory?

They are very shit and very slow but..

 

Jim is right...


they really are slower than slow...

think about it... a ford ka will burn you off without using 1st or 2nd gear!


Alex

 

get the td and yb it

 

i too have a 2.0 GLSi, h plate! MINT MINT MINT and as you say bulletproof. Paid 350 last year for it, cost the MOT fee(20 quid) to get it thru in april, and so far all i have had to replace is the front pipe!

Fantastic car just one ugly mother fucker

 

Well i skipped this idea long ago, but cheers for the replys anyhow

After Barton caned me on the M5 this morning in his caged-up Omega I cant be dealing with this Mondeo anymore, time for a fast shed as a modifiable toy while I finish the Skyline, i smell Volvo 740turbo
