1. OP (long gone by now) asked if there were any issues with the VZ - specifically the Alloytec V6.

2. I replied that there had been numerous issues (threads) reported with overheating issues with the Alloytec.

3. I added that I have experienced these overheating issues with my VZ Alloytec.

4. I described the issues I went through.

5. I added that I expected the Alloytec fanbois to jump on board.

6. You certainly ensured that Step 5 came to fruition.

7. In the words of Russian sounding Meerkats - simples.

Replacement engine is still working, however I don't know how long it will last, as I am running factory LPG - and I believe my replacement engine may not be totally LPG compatible.

Hence, I'm looking at 'moving' this vehicle on, before I have any more Alloytec dramas.

Just wanted to put in into language you could understand. Anyone who first attacks the player and not the ball, has obviously lost the argument.

There's a ball now? What sport is this? I can't keep up with these new fangled metaphors....
