1.8CVH doner car for sale
Well i picked up the sierra from the wifes grandad today
1991 1.8cvh, type 9 gearbox 76000miles he has owned it for last 13 years £250ono if anyone is interested Good bits  Taxed until end of month Engine is nice and quiet and drives very well Gearbox feels as it should No whining or noises from the diff Brand new battery New radiator (worth selling on) Brakes work fine Bad bits  Just out of mot Oil leak around sump (sump would need shortening anyway and a new gasket would cure the leak once in a roadster so not a major problem) sump bolts tightened up as they were almost loose, probably cured leak Fuel line is corroded where it bends up into the engine bay and is leaking a little fuel (this wouldnt matter as wont be used on the roadster but is a problem in the meantime if you want to drive it long distance)i have repaired the fuel line with a new copper one so the car is completely safe to drive Last edited by mark : 21st November 2010 at 06:32 PM. Reason: fixed problems

Here are a couple of pics of the car
I have been out this morning and replaced the leaky fuel line with a new copper one so its completely safe to drive now with no leaks I also cleaned the oil off around the sump only to find all the sump bolts were barely finger tight! So a quick torque up of the bolts and thats probably sorted the oil weap from the sump gasket too

That's the nicest car you've had outside your house to date Mark.....
 Only joking of course. You kept that one quiet, surprised you haven't had your hand snapped off yet. I may have it if it doesn't go quick....  Andrew

Being that sierras are becoming very scarce now i thought it would be snapped up straight away. It took me ages to find mine If it doesn't go I'm sure we can come to some sort of arrangement if you want it If you don't want it i will just take the diff and gearbox as spares for mine and weigh the rest in! which would be a shame, i would like to see it turn into another roadster

New toy ???
Shame it's not MOT'd, could have got it over here and then used the good sierra bits on the XR4x4 and a few bits on the Roadster and flogged the rest. TT
