Non useful response.

Re: hmm

Do you mean a yamaha 420 STI by chance? It's a 240 horsepower diesel.

also, that car over there doesn't actually say "VVV" in a pretty pattern for pure decoration - it's the logo of the manufactuer, VW.

Got a Nice Pair

I have a pair of 420's in my Windy.

Lovely engines based on the 16V Toyota Landcruiser 4.2 Diesel ( as opposed to the newer 32V units used by Yanmar).

Mine have done over 700 hrs, only major repair was a new set of exhaust elbows at about 550 when one of the old ones rusted up. BBMS sell stainless ones cheaper than Yamaha sell the cast iron units.

The Hydra drive legs can have problems with overheating if used for very long periods flat out. Again BBMS can help with an aftermarket cooling kit.

Hope that is of use
