Below we have listed a few of the most common problems  the Ford Sierra suffers from. If you see you fault below and you wish to find out the causes, the cures and how to fix it then sign up for membership. Can you afford not to? There are many more problems that we haven't listed but we can still help you save money getting your car back to full health.

Brake judder
This is very common on all models and unless it is a reoccurring fault it is very easy to fix.

ABS light on or pulsating pedal when braking slowly
Here we can possibly save you hundreds of pounds, garages charge a lot of money to diagnose ABS faults. We can talk you through this relatively simple process.

Surging on idle
This applies to the OHC and the DOHC engines, a common fault that is easily cured with no specialist equipment or skills.

Cuts out after a period of driving
The 1.8 CVH engine is known to cut out for no apparent reason and then restart after a brief period of time. A very simple fault to diagnose and cure, saving you expense garage bills.

Intermittent non start (OHC)
If a vehicle intermittently does not start and loses the HT spark we may know the answer and we found out the hard way!

Misfire / poor cold start (DOHC / CVH)
A few simple checks and we can get your Sierra running as good as new and it may not be as expensive as you think.

Poor handling at high speeds
We have found a lot of sierras suffer with this and it is the result of incorrect work being carried out.

Cutting out or loss of power
Another cutting out problem that can be extremely difficult to diagnose but easy to cure.

Alarm faults
There is an easy way of diagnosing alarm fault we can talk you through it and tell you the best course of action to fix it.

Clicking noise from the rear when turning
Another common fault and fairly easily cure but it is for the confident sierra owner and if you follow our advice you should be able to fix this problem without too much trouble.

Poor running DOHC
A tricky problem to diagnose unless you know what you are looking for, then it's really easy and even easier to fix and will cost you around £5 to fix.
