last month it had its oil service.

nothing more , its running fine , except for a vague steering , may be due to worn out steering pump ??

Ac is good , but in noon its like nothing to the heat outside. all the big glass and the top upholstery are burning hot and ac fails against them. It badly needs a plywood top (upholstery work)

So what about the body work ?

Why not try molded roof, as in new cars. I guess it would reduce the heat..
moulded roof are car specific , for sierra it is not available. the only way is upholstry work. that is a long time plan.

some where last week , there was a minute oil leak near the breather hose. the culprit was old hose and it has become hard . got a new hose , it was whopping 850/- as it was a special hose with various joints in them.

Now the power steering conked off. OE are damn costly and trying hard to source one at good price. let me see if i could get a decent one by tomorrow.

last sunday had some fun . the car was washed for 250/- and in next 10 hours ... check the pictures.

parked next to our manza , same place different timing. manza gleams but nothing matching to the sierra. Love to get dirty.

Your Sierra looks lovely and well maintained car.

Hats off to you Ilango Sir.
Thank you.

except the looks it is well maintained. the body is in bad condition which is not visible in pictures.

Nice pic's ilango[speed thirst]..

I guess Sierra comes with hydraulic power steering rite ? With out that how are you able to drive, is it the pump which has gone faulty ?
yeah , hydraulic pump.

During the test , we kept the car in near 300 rpm for 10 min to find the fault . exactly as suspected the pump went to heaven. R.I.P.[frustration]

300 rpm, doesn't the engine shutdown ?

Is the pressure below the specified rate. Sorry for many questions.
oops , read them as 3000 rpm
so i hope the second question is cleared !
