This car has had two previous owners, the last one for a long period of time. This Sierra was badged as XR4i but I believe correctly should had been 2.0i, once it is RWD and has the 2.0 DOHC engine with 125hp. Recently was driven for about 600 km from his last address to my place. No problem at all, drives really well. The main known imperfections are shown in the pictures of the ad. Detailed pictures available upon request. Located in Portugal, close to Porto Airport. If needed, you can get a low cost flight. I will pick you at the Airport to check the car. The correct price in Euros is 5450€ (about £4,700) - open to sensible offers. Can be delivered in Birmingham by a UK based company for £860. You can arrange collection from there, or if you prefer delivered at your door, it has an additional cost of £1.20 per mile from B70 0TB. Please view HERE other cars in stock, or HERE the sold stock for more inspiration. Feel free to contact me by Phone, E-mail, WhatsApp or Telegram.Thu, 13 Oct 2022 13:27:15 +0000 Long shot!!

Apart from no drips is there any reason for this?Wed, 12 Oct 2022 12:44:14 +0000 Rust removal reverse electrolosisI've done this for yrs with loads of parts, an yes it does work quite well, so seein as these H/lamp bowls came out so well I thought I'd share it with people for the ones who dont know about it, you need a battery charger, a plastic tank, some scrap iron, water an maybe some soda crystals, hang the rusty parts in the water solution with the Neg connected to it (copper tube as a buzbar) connect the positive from the charger to the scrap anodes all joined together with some copper wire, leave to fiz for a day or 2, remove from tank an wire brush off the crap, simples, I was gonna scrap these 2 original headlamp bowls as they had such thick crusty rust on them that a wire brush wouldn't touch, as you can see in the video they nearly came out luvverly, i'll dry them out and glassblast them now then paint, more pics later on of the outcome, looks like its saved me buying new ones 20221011_160523.mp4 Tue, 11 Oct 2022 23:42:55 +0000 Escort mk2 bonnetEscort mk2 bonnet and boot wanted.Peterborough area but will travel.thanks Mon, 10 Oct 2022 11:18:24 +0000 Popped to the shopsWell I saw the time at 315...

I was going to refurb my current wheels but, because they are deep dish with polished lip, I got quoted the same price as actually buying a new set if wheels. I'm going to go for the same wheel, 13 x 7 ET -7 deep dish superlite style with the polished surface around the lip. Going for the package with the 185 60 13 Yoko A539's as I know these are probably the best tyre choice for Northern Irish roads. Basically im just checking that JBW are the best choice to go to and nobody else can beat them for quality or value?Wed, 05 Oct 2022 10:53:39 +0000 WIN Two Lifetime Weekend tickets to the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show!Our competition prize this month is two LIFETIME tickets to the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show at the NEC in Birmingham, this year on 11-13th November 2022.
