Wanted: Sierra Steering Column - Complete

[Tatey]

It seems to be impossible for me to get my hands on a complete steering column assembly for a reasonable price. People on ebay seem to be wanting £100 for one, which you could if you are lucky get a complete car for, so does anyone happen to have one hiding in their garage?

Cheers

Is there an alternative to using the sierra steering column?

[twinturbo]

could try a MK3 Granada..

£50 on ebay delivered :D. The question is, how different is it to a sierra column and would any mods need to be made to it?

So from looking at the sierra, granada and scorpio column, they are all pretty similar, but the sierra column has a smaller cowling and uses a different mounting method.

I'm guessing they all use the same method of fixing to the steering rack?

[twinturbo]

yeah rack joint is the same.

It's an adjustable colum though. Think that's the same for all grannys..

What would you be willing to pay for a complete Sierra column?
And what exactly would you expect for your money?

I ask because I may be able to help.

[Tatey]

Id be looking to pay about £40 for a complete column including wheel, column, keys, stalks, cowling and ignition lock.

Cheers

Sorry mate. Can't help.
Didn't realise you were looking for everything.
PM sent.

Well it looks like my search is finally over :D. I've just managed to win a Ford Sierra RS complete steering column including, ignition barrel, key, stalks, cowling, steering wheel and column, for the grand total of.......£12.07 :D.

It's located just outside of Nottingham and I'll be picking it up tomorrow afternoon on my way to my Grandads 80th, so 2 birds with one stone :D

[dogwood]

Well done you..
You sure it's £12.07 and not £127:D
