I might be wrong but surely that servo seal is there to stop crap dripping into the servo housing. If you have brake fluid pooling in front of it then the master cylinder piston seals are weaping instead. Excellent video by the way... I can smell that 1980s Ford interior from here😊
There should be NO brake fluid in the servo. You're correct that the seal is only there to stop crap getting in. The leak MUST be from fluid getting past the master cylinder seals.
The extra subs are well earned. I’m not that fussed about out bagged out cars, but was drawn in by your Ami project and have enjoyed watching your amazing fabrications skills 👍
This takes me back. Watching this vid, and Martin Kemp is DJ'ing on Greatest Hits playing tons of 82-84 stuff. I went to the NEC motor show in late '82 when these were launched. My old man had an A plate 2.0GL as a company car, the first car I did over a ton in - 115 on the A303. I had loads of Sierras in the 90's when they were cheap plentiful bangers. Now they've almost all gone. I hope the next owners keep it as it is and don't modify it.
There is still many left but most of the earlier models are sorn. There will be pre-sorn cars too that are not on any public database, and many more sitting in barns fields find, plus plenty of LHD models in europe For 82-84 models, only 171 licenced, but 1296 SORN
@@deanosaur808unfortunatley sorn dont allways mean they still exist.since they no longer need sorning every year they can just sit around then be scrapped without being recorded.was much better when they had to be sorn every year.atleast tgere was a record they we're still around at that point in time.
You have a good job of that old Sierra thing ok it's taken alot of work but only mechanically which makes a change for a old ford normally rot every where so your lucky as I've had plenty of times welding them some body going to be lucky winning it 👍
Good Evening Josh. I knew right from the begining, this Incredible and rare Beauty would be revived once more. Her new owner will have a Great vehicle to drive anywhere they feel. It was very Good seeing You Josh, Install the Gearbox and just doing some tidying up. To see her running and driving down the road, was a real Joy. This rare Ford Sierra 1.6 L will Live again, and turn some heads no doubt. This was a really a Great Project to follow Josh, from the vert start. A Barn find that was well worth it. Thank you very much Josh. Jonathan.
Fantastic work Josh, love the Sierra especially after you guys finding it in a falling down shed outstanding my friend you should be so proud of yourself.
One thing you should remedy is the wire circuit strips in the back light units, seeing the left hand side reverse light is rusty smudged there would say the circuits are more than well crispy with Dagenham rouge. Was having a moment remembering that when Ford stopped selling the 4 gear models, Reliant nipped in there pretty smartish and bought all the gear knobs, they also bought all the P100 rear light units which appeared on the Rialto first then the Robin and kept going right until the BN2.
Fantastic job mate , it really made me smile seeing it being driven for the first time in years , I own a mk1 Sierra myself which was dragged out of a garage after a 28 year slumber , it’s such a rewarding feeling knowing a real Ford icon is back on the road , top work Josh 👍
Good cars,Sierras and very few left now so good that you have revived this one. I have done many clutches and clutch cable/adjusters changes on these. I had Diesel ones and the gearbox was very heavy. The adjuster can be done without removing the drivers seat or the pedal. You just need to bend yourself! I still have my Sierra that I have had for 25 years. It has done 400K + as a taxi and it should be back on the road this year.
Love this ❤My late dad had a Sierra 3.0 GLX..look just like this car.. Beautiful cars, my neighbour had a red XR6, with the Cosworth kit, and also had a Sierra XR8.. Here in South Africa we had all the versions of Sierras
One of the best cars I’ve ever owned was a 1989 Sierra 1.6L, bought it in 1999 for £400 with no MOT, cost £80 including the MOT to get it on the road, parts were dirt cheap and nothing really went wrong anyway, incredibly basic car, only had a radio and central locking, but it would happily sit at 80mph on the motorway, was very comfortable, loads of space. As a thing to get from A to B it was great. Unfortunately it got stolen by joy riders a couple of years after I bought it.
Had a Sierra emax b reg in red thirty years ago supposed to be the economy model 25 to the gallon if I was lucky 😂😂. I always preferred mk 2 cavalier more economical and faster.
Fantastic job. I was in my early 20s when a lad i knew at my Ford dealer let me drive both the XR4 and the Cosworth when they first came out. Very lucky! We then bought a new 1.8GL in 1985 which broke down on the way home! Faulty heat sensor. It was in the family for over 10 years. I only discovered how heavy the brakes and steering were when i drove it later after having my own car. It also felt very slow but at the time i thought it was great !
I had a y plate 1.6L with no rear wiper and hand adjusted wing mirrors. It was my 1st car and I loved it. I have dreamt I win this (I have tickets!). I can't remember the last time I wanted something so much.. I've loved watching it be brought back to life.. thank you for doing and sharing it.
Just imagine time warping back to the day this car left the dealer. No pot holes, smooth roads, no speed cameras, no bus lanes, affordable insurance as a youngster, no food banks, affordable houses and rents, no migrant boats crossing the channel. Old Britain today is sooooo much better than 1984 thanks to our diversity. My arse! I remember picking up my brand new Sierra GT in March of 1992, J392 LVL ( I got to choose the three digits) and I’d take 1992 over today every single time. Enough nostalgia, well done on sorting that lovely motor out!
Great update on the Sierra! I subscribed to your channel after watching the Sierra barn find video and continue to watch . Great work Josh and congratulations on gaining many more subscribers! Great to see you interacting with other youtubers, maybe Mat Armstrong next! 😁
Great you getting lots of subs.i subbed because of sierra like probably a lot of them.just shows you need to keep doing fords like this.i must admit i have no interest in modifying or foreign cars.you doing great on this tho.brings back so many memories of EFA846Y.god how i loved that car.

Fantastic Job Josh👍 Wish I could come to the open day and try and win her! Be a bit too costly bringing the Sierra over to Canada though. Remember tons of these as a kid in the UK. Well done for saving it. Have enjoyed watching your vids immensely 👍
I’ve always loved these and I thought it was weird that it got such a cold initial reaction. That said I will admit that the last-Gen Cortina is far better looking that the first-Gen Sierra saloon. Obviously this changed when the coupe and the RS variants arrived, and the handsome 2nd-Gen. We got this variant (heavily modified) in the US with a completely different engine and suspension set-up that kinda flopped hard.. Us Yanks had the equally-slippery Ford Taurus that took a ton of notes from the same playbook. Ironically enough, people went bonkers over it and dealers couldn’t keep them on the lots. I still would love a first generation non-SHO variant. There’s a pristine red 1985 “LX” trim on display in The Henry Ford with less than 500 miles on the clock.
Erith? Used to be my stamping ground, worked for a while down the legendary Jimmy Emmins scrapyard out on the marsh next door to the Lorry racing lot who let me have a go on one for winning a bet. Got into going down there as he was golden for any old Ford stuff and I was always grabbing various Cortina or Crapri bits, the odd MK2 Escort for my bijou second hand car business up on Downham estate. Another place was a tiny little one in Plumstead and another I always got cheap was the two gypsy brothers underneath Lewisham station. Now they showed me all the tricks, using carbon tetrachloride out of fire extinguishers to coax a couple hundred miles out of a burnt to a crisp clutch but the best one was their concrete injection machine... sills a bit crispy? No problemo, just fill the sills with fine concrete then when set blackjack over for motworthy fun, proper sawdust in the gearbox/diff/sump rogues :)
What a lovely car. Just goes to show how much I hate modern cars as most people hated these back in the day and it’s now literally one of my dream cars 🤣🤣
If I lived in the United Kingdom and this car was listed for sale, I am definitely sure that I am the buyer, no price haggle! 😮😮 Watching her from Texas. Congrats on your completions.!

I swapped my Sierra GT in for a new Mondeo Si, then I put a full RS body kits and 17 inch alloys with ultra low profile tyres. Both cars would comfortably hit 130 mph but the road holding on the Si was just awesome and looked the part in gleaming red. Much preferred the two litre to the 2.5 V6 I had some years later.
Man and machine in perfect harmony.

Very nice to see it's back on the road again! You've done an awesome job!
I really like how you explain everything you do and how things work. 👍🏻
As a kid I remember when these first came out and they were literally ground breaking. There wasn't really anything else as streamlined.
Nice old Sierra., cheers for sharing.
Congratulations on the Subscribers. Well deserved. Great to see you driving the Sierra 😎👍
