If your putting in a sierra petrol engine then the Harness/Ecu is easy.

Well the diesel's still standing there and I'm tempted. Is it only the engine I can't use?

Local garage owner told me of a sierra standing in a farmyard so I've been to look at it tonight. Spoke to the owner who told me it's a 2.9L 4x4. Guy just down the road reckons it's a Cossie but I don't know. Owner mentioned £500. Just 20 miles from Carlisle

I've had no luck so far finding a sierra. Rang the guy with the diesel yesterday and it's still there so I'm having it. Picking it up at 6.30 and dumping it on a mates farm to strip. So I'm now on the lookout for a pinto or cvh.
