Not quite so easy to change a concentric hydraulic slave cylinder and
unlike the Rover 218SD or the Meriva, on the Sierra I never had any
issues with the aircon, central locking, immobiliser, the ECU or
electric windows because it didn't have them (and somehow we used it
everywhere for everything) and to have a new key cut cost £5. ;-)

But then there were the new plugs, plug leads, points, rotor arm, dizzy
cap etc at regular intervals - and checking the ignition timing too. Then
antifreeze each winter and replacing a few hoses too. To say nothing about
5000 mile oil changes. And then the new engine at perhaps 50,000 miles...

and wondering why the timing light showed the sparks scattered all over about 1/4 of the flywheel.
