I would try Renault as the B172K engine is a modified Renault design.

only problem is renaults havent been sold here in almost 20 years, so the support network has long disappeared. maybe i'll get lucky.

Well talk to a Renault dealer over here then

If you need to get stuff shipped here, give me a shout and I'll forward it on.

cheers
