Well, last night my wife pulled the 960 (which is now running like a new car)into the drive after a short trip to the store and heard what sounded like birds chirping after she turned the engine off. I went out to take a look and it sounded like the radiator was squealing around the top of the plastic tank. This is the second one that I've had go, one was on the 850 right after I rolled it into the drive when we brought it home. As luck would have it, I've got several turbo units for the 740s in the garage and one out of a 780 V-6, but nothing for this one. So far it has been the fuel rail, intake gasket, whatever the air pump is over the manifold, the radiator hoses, and a hand full of small interior parts that have had to be repaired. I believe this one will find a new home pretty soon.

Regards,
