Our lass's chromie overheated the night before last due to a burst radiator and the resulting coolant loss.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that M10 engines are particularly susceptible to a damaged head if subjected to overheating. Can anyone confirm this?
Schadenfreude - the German's haven't got a word for that.

Not particularly - but it depends how hot it got. Only one way to find out!
