Hello,
two weeks now that i am looking for Sierra donor with 2.0 ohc EFI engine and no way 
i have been looking on the net, phoning scrapyards, ford dealers etc and i always get the same answer : we do not have Sierra part anymore!
i found two in Germany, but they are 400 to 500 km from me !!
is the situation the same in UK ?
Where are all those Sierra gone ??????

Scrap prices peaked at £210 for a Sierra sized car over here, so all the old cars stuck in the corner of the scrapyards that had been there for years got hauled out and cubed. There is very old little stuff in the scrappies these days.
There are a few on ebay, mostly Cosworths (or what perport to be Cosworths!!!!) but its a long way for you to travel. Why not go for a different donor, one that is easier to source. I cannot advise on that as mine was a Mk1 Escort but I think the MX5 has been used amongst others.
have a look for granada/scorpio's too (the 1985 - 94 models) I'm using one for my dax
90% of the mechanical bits are the same as the higher spec sierra's and its easy to allow for the differences in teh otehr bits 
a few on ebay in the uk:

Scrapage scheme and the price of scrap and banger racing just about finished them of in one go.
Ive had twelve. I used to pay around fifty quid, I havnt seen one in my locall scrapie for around 18 months or more.
Extreme rarity for me to see a Sierra around here (SW, UK), the Cavalier has sadly gone too it seems.
I'm 'driving' a MK1 Mundaneo around, I see a few of those in circulation but sadly dwindling. Even the older Vectra has bitten the
rust.
I blame the scrappage scheme, the road tax regime and the cost of fixing the things when bits (even consumables) expire. The 'must have new,
must have now, must be better' brigade aren't helping. I am guilty of scrapping a perfectly good Volvo 940 simply because of fuel poverty,
but then I see a lot more 2011 Range Rovers out there now, some folks have money to burn.
If it was me, I'd think of another donor source. Plenty of rusty MX5 (Miata for our colonials) things around, or outdated (cheap) BMW's!
...or there's the Suzuki, Yahama, Honda, Kawasaki alternative :-)
dont worry too much the amount of bmw's i see on the m25 every day there will be no shortage of donors in the future
How many Sierra's left, not many is the answer
http://howmanyleft.co.uk/?q=ford%20sierra&p=0
Can do diffs with shafts and a set of uprights
I almost drove past there last week!!
How the hell did you find that place?
there are no xr 4x4 left on the road 
and 3 of the 79 odd sierras are in my town
That how many are left site is crap.
There is reported to be another 53 here but some ive seen are actually cortina's

I have a 1.8 cvh sierra estate with 90k on it tucked away in my dads garage if anyone is interested.
trying to find a 2L petrol sierra in Belgium is a no go, belgium is dieselcountry remember. Best bet is to search in holland.
here's a few:

why are you so keen for a 2.0l petrol efi?
Hello,
Thanks for your help.
I was in Bradford last week
But i have send some mails to dutch owners.

Theres a few still driving round here, they look seriously old skool these days.
Problem round here is banger racing, the shell off my donor was snapped up by one of the guys who reckoned he got through 3 a season, multiply that by
X (number of competitors) and you see what happens....
There is a k-plate saphire at the industrial est near me.
The body is mint but every window is smashed,the guy that
owns it seems to be hanging on to it.

i was hhoping to get a sierra 1.3 to take advantage of the £130 road tax, there isn't even a category on that site so there are obviously none
left

is there any way i can do that and avoid the dreaded q plate? And what would the tax be if i got a ~1.8 litre then put a 1.3 in? Would it still be tax for the >1549 cc group? If ypu change the engine post registration is it classed as having the old engine for ever?
Yessss !!!!
i finally found a scorpio.
Car looks good in the ad.
only 200 km from home.
I will collect it tomorrow.
Stripping will start soon if the weather stays dry.
