Great news Andy.
Personally, I think the 1.8 CVH Sierra estate was a decent car in its day. I found it very comfortable to drive. The CVH engine, if well maintained was a very willing lump.
At least you have the advantage of a decent journey under your belt & now know all is well.
A good stripping session ahead.
Don't forget to slacken the rear hub nuts when you have finished playing with the donor.
