Well, I had two in my Princess 435. One had an overheating problem which still hadn't been resolved when I had to sell.

Yes excellent - as long as suitably serviced etc. The external alloy heat exchangers can corrode. They can be replaced and/or repaired.

Thank you both for valuable comments. I have inferred that this engine model should be as good as can be expected.

I appreciate your time to respond. T.

I would check if these use the ECU that VP decided to stop manufacturing - expensive engines if they become unserviceable due to non availability of a simple part. Lots of other threads on here about VP ECUs.

Thank you, I did look at the recent thread on this topic listing the problematic part. The TAMD71B was not mentioned and was part of my decision to go with it. T.
BTW, love your tag line. Reminds me of a senior manager I knew, his was: I may not always be right, but I’m never wrong!
