VM Vettori now is a DC subsidiary if I am not mistaken, VM Vettori made diesel engines for earlier Land Rovers and Range Rovers, as such, this company doesn't have the reputation of making solid engines, even the JEEP Liberty engine has suffered its usual plight of failures, overheating etc. they are nowhere near MB diesel engines, yesteryear or current. It was not power but the cost factor that made DC put this engine in Liberty, MB had its own 2.7CRDI which would have done splendid duty or the OM611 4cyl as well.

Thanks for the answer Tom, I drive a OM616 turbo G class and a 69 Nissan Patrol replica made by ministry of defence here, the civillian version was sold with HINO W04D 4L 4cyl engine.
I am a total renegade here, my friends prefer to drive their Ford Endeavours, Terracans, Pajeros and Land Cruisers so my vehicles stand out completely.I won't probably ever change but will add the new Gurkha with OM611 engine and G-55 tranny which you can check out at http://www.forcemotors.com/html/whatsnew.aspx A demo vid of LWB of my vehicle in action is available at http://rapidshare.de/files/9698872/AVSEQ01.DAT.html Dial up beware, its 60mb.

Tom,
OM611 is four cylinder 2L engine, has good torque rating and is light, therefore perfectly suited for the Gurkha. To open the first page, try www.forcemotors.com and then go to whats new page. For the second link, its Rapidshare file storage link and for those who don't have an account, have to click on the free tab on the page which then takes you to the download link.

it doesnt surprise me
any. i had a 6.9 that cracked the cylinder all the way down into the main bearing web. when the truck was cold it ran like a sewing machine. absolutely musical. but when it got good and hot...bad news. that truck eventually cost me a tremendous amount of money. and even though ford knew of the problem they kept building the motor with the exact same casting up well into the 7.3 liter versions.
i will never buy another ford. well... perhaps a mustang or if someone i dont know dies and leaves me several mil a ford gt. tom w
