1991 Ford Sierra 2.0 dohc 88kW, manual and 4x4. Not sure why it was abandoned, owner bought this place with car. Big thanks for tow truck - / 102474548659495
As a mechanic, a daily driver of old cars and owner of a workshop I had to say... This was one of your best videos so far. So much commitment, so much enthusiasm. You guys are great, and honestly, it would be an honor to meet you some day. Keep going, we support you as much as we can. Thanks for everything.
I've stumbled across this video randomly, and I've got to be honest - if this is their best video yet, how bad are they usually? Absolutely no mechanical sympathy whatsoever.
@@daveytn the thing was absolutely destined for the scrap pile eventually. I don't think he is trying to do it sympathetically, more to show how crudely it can be done, way more interesting in my opinion. A cool car back in the day though, and that twin cam sounds awesome when pushed!
@@daveytn Could it be that you are some kind of troll? This channel isn't dedicated to rebuild or restore cars. That are not some rare, fancy Porsches, mustangs, or else. Just regular cars with much miles, abandoned somewhere in the middle of nowhere. It's just about resurrecting the cars with small budget, small amount of tools and much effort. Most of them are so busted, they will never be road legal again. But they got their chance to show that they are still alive. Nothing more.
Greetings from Finland! Good videos. I like to wach all these. Blow my eys totally. They only sleep some years. Maybe 15 years, maybe 10, but they come to back to life. Nice. 😎👍🏻
@@bayerischemotorenwerke5252 Well, we don't know what the plans are for the car. If it's going to be scrapped anyway a little piston damage won't hurt at all. And if you wanted to restore it, an engine rebuild would be a good idea I think.
After having watched the full video I'd say no one in their right mind would restore this car. The entire rear end is so completely rotted it's ready to fall off and the complete interior has been taken to bits, most of it missing. To me this looks like a parts car someone already took a lot of bits from. The only worse car I've ever seen moving under its own power was a MK1 VW Golf somewhere in the rural US, that one was so completely rotted out the whole car was bowing in the middle, I honestly expected it to break in half during the video! Can't remember what YT channel that was unfortunately.
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO YOU EVER UPOLOADED ! 😃Disassembling the engine, its condition, cleaning the injectors, measuring the compression and finally drifting... the best video ever...
Ford vehicle in the woods sitting here long time air tires new battery full detail no back seats awesome mechanic men bless you takes men power as a team
I love the Sierra. Were all over the roads growing up in England when I was a lad. It's sad this one is in such a state. The body rot is too far gone. 🥲
Old Ford still fired up even after more than 30 years of usage and 15 of sitting during that! She's going to need some more work to get it more road worthy and looking better, but it's still such an underrated classic, man. I remember being a little kid, in the late 90s, and seeing loads of these here in America. Takes me back!
Definitely the hardest and most impressive start you've done on the channel. It's impressive what you did there, the distance and amount of work... I was honestly amazed to see how well it ran after getting it started in that state...! Keep up the amazing videos and amazing cars! 😁Greetings from Serbia!
I can't belive you just openned the engine for unstuck is and change the cylinder joint........ you are the king of mechanic!!!!! congraaa big boss flexiny!!!!!
Ubelievable car and components! It is insane how robust and overengineered is everything in the old Sierras! I could have smelled literally every process from your video, I loved it! I love the fact you are saving those old souls! Keep going, every time is meditation to watch!
I had one, even the same colour and I have had a few cars but, I can honestly say that car was the best car I ever owned. Did some huge trips in it and never ever got back ache. Wish I still had it!
Ford Sierra are the best cars ever!! I am about to revive mine a 1992 hatchback. I have stored it in my garage. And now i am going clean it up etc....fix the bottom cause the Sierras are know for their rust beneath the car.The motor is rediculous!! A monster. They never make cars like that anymore. It was an awesome video! Thank you. 🙏🌻

Awesome video! i own sierra 4x4 sedan that has sat for 14 years engine isnt stuck, but starter motor is, already got new starter but it isnt installed yet you also did a good tutorial how to change the starter motor!
That was fun to watch! Great job at getting that to run again, and run pretty well too! I like how it was not just the bumper falling off, but the structure of the car too!
Wow, great video, I'm impressed! 😍 I remember Sierra, it's a legendary car, very comfortable, reliable and pretty but I don't knew before that Sierra was also available in 4x4 version, you are doing a great job that you restore old but gold legendary cars 🙂
I enjoy all of your videos, but this one is my new favorite. I really liked seeing the engine tear-down and inspection. Would love to see more videos like this. Great resurrection!
Impressed with the hard work you’ve been doing in the engine!! One of the nicest motors till they replaced the Mondeo back in 1992 when it was launched!
@@tombouuHe's not specifically talking about the engine alone bud, calling an entire car a 'motor' is quite normal in England, especially in the London area. 😉
De verdad, que desd que descubrí este canal , disfruto con cada vídeo que veo, y además, aprendo muchísimo. Creo que no no haya nada con motor y ruedas que se resista a resucitar en vuestras manos. Sois increíbles , en serio , me encanta el canal y cada vídeo nuevo supera al anterior. No me gusta ser indiscreto pero, si puedo preguntar, ¿ Que hacéis luego con los coches que arregláis? ... Otra cosa , me gustaría ver alguna vez como devuelven la vida a un camión de los grandes , si hay posibilidad de ello claro está. Muchas gracias por vuestros videos y enseñanzas. Un saludo desde Tenerife, en las islas Canarias.
Note how thick the camshafts are and how wide the lobes are, unlike modern engines where they are made hollow and paper thin. Take any modern economy car - they will turn into dust after 10-15 years.
I am suspecting what you have there is one of the 2500 "lazy cossie's", Ford built these cars at Dagenham and Cologne with an experimental twin cam engine with a slightly different chain for timing, they were all GL trimmed and these were hatchback, Sapphire and estate variants in Weber carb or Ford EFI fuel systems, if it is the engines are quite sought after for race platforms being quite tuneable. The bottom end is pretty much identical to the older Pinto blocks used in Taunus, Cortina and Transits so easy to get a starter for for little money, think the Granada's are the same as they all used the basic type 9 gearbox across the range.
I really like Sierras. My father bought (as youngtimer) Sierra sedan 89 model from first owner circa 2006 with mileage 70000 km . It was in really good condition, almost like brand new. unfortunately it burned down - electrical system failure
Flexiny bless you Ford 4x4 station wagon air tires no seats needs battery engine is good condition stuck once it's move come back from the dead bless you keep you full detail outside
Hello Flexiny, What an incredible discovery of this Ford Sierra break in this forest, its long period of rest in this environment was quite negative for the bodywork. I didn't know there was a four-wheel-drive station wagon version. It really deserves a restart.
Excelente el trabajo que realizaste para hacerlo andar, yo tengo un sierra se quedó sin fuerza, y lo deje parado desde el 2012, habeces lo hacía arrancar, por dos años, después ya no, vendí la batería y hay quedó, pero lo muevo el motor con la mano de vez en cuando.
Super travail démonté la culasse la distribution bien 💪💪💪très fort et la fin tu m'as fait rigoler 🤣 avec le pot d'échappement qui traine part terre 😂tu m'apprend des choses et je m'amuse 😂toi aussi tu dois t'amuser, après l'effort le réconfort 😉✌️☮️👌
Wow.that was a hard one. It needed everything. But you showed that everything can be fixed. It even had some power still. I had a 91 sedan with same motor. Fun first car😊
Fereplay for getting that running I had a Sierra with that exact engine it's was a brilliant car wish I still had it . Enjoy the videos keep it up ....
Hi from uk mate 👋 👍 another great super low miler under 100k again 🤣 these Ford clocks where defo good for something like keeping miles under 100k👌🤣 and at least the the back axle stayed in the chat 👍 but I am overly surprised you got this fired up and driving again plus on first start at least you know the oil pump was doin its bit 👌 shame you couldn't drop clutch free would of been great to grab another gear but good going and loved the time-lapse of the teardown and rebuild I wish I could work that fast sometimes 🤣 bug she didn't want to leave without a fight a start, thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍 👋
These 4x4's were the dog's danglies in estates, the only one better than this was the South African Windsor V8 4x4 estate as used by the South African police as interceptor chase cars. Here in the UK the 4x4 estates were highly prized by the banger racers for towing their trailers with, they were just such a capable car that could tow anything ton up :D Only bad part of the car will be the crumple zones in the forward part of the chassis, they rot out like soft cheese, compliance bushes and rotoflex couplings also major issue as the rubber Ford used was crap.
Very impressive getting this old Sierra 4x4 running again, driving it the way your meant to drive them at the end there! it has some natural weight reduction at the rear end I see .
Saludos desde España. Parece increíble que hayas conseguido arrancar el motor después de ver el estado en que se encontraban los cilindros. El motor prácticamente estaba clavado. Muy ingeniosos el método que habéis utilizado para recuperar los inyectores. Lastima que la parte del maletero del Ford Sierra estaba prácticamente destrozada y no os ha permitido circular con más soltura, sin tener que arrastra todos los componentes que estaban colgando. He pasado un rato muy entretenido viendo este video, prácticamente sigo todos vuestro videos, aunque no domino el Ingles, me comunico contigo a través del Traductor de Ingles. Todavía me acuerdo los primeros videos que vi, en uno arrancabas un mercedes clásico w153, de tiempos de la segunda guerra mundial o el de la furgoneta grande Mercedes 470D. Me gusta ver como consigues devolver a la vida vehículos que están prácticamente muertos. Saludos y hasta el próximo video. Greetings from Spain. It seems incredible that you managed to start the engine after seeing the state of the cylinders. The engine was practically stuck. Very ingenious the method that you have used to recover the injectors. Too bad the part of the trunk of the Ford Sierra was practically destroyed and it has not allowed us to circulate more freely, without having to drag all the components that were hanging. I have had a very entertaining time watching this video, I practically follow all your videos, although I do not speak English, I communicate with you through the English Translator. I still remember the first videos I saw, in one you started a classic mercedes w153, from the time of the second world war or the one of the large Mercedes 470D van. I like to see how you manage to bring back to life vehicles that are practically dead. Greetings and until the next video.
