The wheel turning backwards is quite normal when the prop is locked ( in your case with a seized engine ) In this circumstance if 1 wheel goes forward the other 1 has to go backwards. This can happen on land rovers on certain circumstances like when jacking up etc as the handbrake is on the prop shaft. Hope that was of some help to somebody. Looks like a good shell rear arches , tire well and general panels look bloody good be interesting to see it on the ramp

My friend had a d reg Sierra 1.6L with the bigger lights which were long range driving lights. The base version retained the smaller front lights with the slatted grill until the end. It was only the L & GL that got this upgrade. There was an LX release after the upgrade. There were 3 faces of the mk1 Sierra in Europe but in Latin American version which had the single headlight and slatted grill but had the indicator front fog light combo of the ghia

Looks like it should come up a treat with a good pressure wash! My dad had one as his first company car, Sunburst Red with the 1.6L 'lean burn' engine, registration A278 CCF. It seemed like an absolute spaceship at the time, compared to the old '70s turds he used prior to its arrival, and the next door neighbours' square-rigged Cortina and Granada.

Had RED 1.6L in 2006 my dad built up the engine, brakes would let go at times and needed to pump pedal. It would stall at low speeds or slowing down due to vacuum leaks, so pretty much had to use all 3 pedals to slow down and handbrake too just in case I had to pump the breaks. At work the road was very steep, car 1.6 was so underpowered it killed 1st gear. Ended up using 2nd to set off from Stationary, along with all vacuum leaks and brake pumping. At work 2nd Gear wouldn't cut it on the steep road with 4x passengers so always reversed it up hill 200 yds, with people cracking up everyday seeing this madness. Eventually 2nd gear was on its way out, burnt the clutch after using 3rd gear all the time. Never let me down until it told me (smelled clutch and let go) that its time to say goodbye and rolled up on to street parking called scrap man to take it. What an adventure.

Funny you mentioning the 1.6, we had a red one as well. Lovely and big/comfy but it was so obvious that the car was too heavy for just a 1.6 petrol. Why oh why did't they just have the 1.8 diesel? and then all petrols at 2L+. It also made them very, very thirsty. As you say, imense amount of gear work involved to compensate.

@@JohnSmith-rw8uh I know the Windsor is a small block v8 but it's not an engine easily accessible in the UK . Our gift from Chevrolet here came in the form of Rover's infamous V8 which is right on the size and weight limit for many older British home market cars. i've seen a Granada stablemate to the Sierra with a Rover V8 engine installed but not a Sierra. That doesn't mean there isn't one in existence but its a person's own imagination that is the limiting factor. Rover V8s are harder than ever to find now dead or alive but basically this is because they've been out of production for at least 30 years and we're the coveted choice of engine for custom and hot rod builds in England. They've been tuned raced restored and classified to rarity and big money price tags are the norm for a complete engine.

I have had 5 of these and one estate. The pinto engine is so easy to work on. I used tp remove the head, de-coke it, lap the valves and put all new gaskets on as well as a timing belt. The last one I had was the estate and it bad the 1.8 CVH engine. I prefer the pinto's. I used to change the fronts from single headlights to the double as they look better and fit the Ghia interior.

Hello lads. Such a shame water got in the head, that engine is finished. The block might be reusable, but everything else will be rusted solid. Are you going to try score a direct replacement or go big with something like an Essex V6? Good on you all for rescuing it and putting in the graft.

I agree water ingress has defo rusted/welded the rings to the bores and will need rebore+new pistons + rings as well as a crank re-grind and shells at minimum and that is just bottom end, if the engine number matches the car docs/chassis number then I would look at geting a full engine rebuild (not a job for novice) if not try and find another motor as the body seems to be in a good state, well done for getting her out although there was a couple of times I was thinking NOOOO dont do that 🤣 🤣 uk towing tips : towing in gear with a seized block can and probably will bend/snap the con rods and/or crank so try not to do that. hazzard lights on a moving vehicle are a magnet for the blue light cash extractors😁 they are for stationary only not when being towed 😉

while it was in gear and in motion, just jerk the clutch. press it in and let it go. Trust me, works alot better than just having to drag it. it will put alot greater pressure on the system and dont forget to drown the pistons with WD . and dont forget, while in gear....clutch in clutch out, clutch in clutch out. It will jerk it loose!

It has the dreaded VV-carburetor. There's a large rubber below inside that carb that must be in order to get the engine to run. These engines are very sturdy. Shouldn't be to hard to get it running. Nice find!
