When we bought a 110 everyone said "Oh you'll never turn it round in the woods, you'll never reverse the big trailers in tight city delivery zones". I'm with you MADMATT, if you can drive, & haven't put outrageous wide wheels on it, you'll put it anywhere you need

as for there being much more to servicing a mog than changing the oil and filters i would be inclined to say that that was quite obvious, .

 

Not really, it is to me I'm a fully qualified HGV mechanic but to someone who has no idea it is far from obvious

 

There's a whole load of things to check and service that the uneducated would have no idea about, the air system alone should have it's own little service regime

 

A landrover could come in and have a full service in a few hours

 

I would seperate everything on a mog to make service easy and carry out each one seperately

 

Engine Service

Driveline Service

Air System service

Brake System Service

 

I may have underquoted costs as I carry out my own servicing, but dont anyone be fooled, Mogs are expensive to own and run there is no doubt about that.

 

If you can offset the running costs against the type of work you do as Dave does then all well and good, but I would not even consider a Mog unless I did mainly commercail work

Good points there, and the last I think is very relevant......CTS does alot of commercial stuff.

Easy option to solve the debate buy both then your covered. Adam I am sure you can afford to do that with all your money.

[Adam]

[Adam]
