Hi Mate,

as far as I am aware the engines apear to be quite reliable, but mine wasn't, nothing but expense and trouble for over 2 years.
but as you are from Scotland, a friend of mine is just about to move up there, and he has extensive knolidge about these engines,
the problem I had was service, what service????

al the best
