Hi Rob,
If you send me your vin number I can certainly look at getting you a date card, however with it being a fire engine I might not be able to (it may be similar to the military mogs where they're not listed)
Also in regards to running veg, the OM352 although not the best, will run veg oil happily (I'll wait for moose to confirm this).
If you want to go the whole hog take the OM352 out and replace it with the OM312, perfect for veg as it has pre-combustion chambers :)
The 352 will run on Veg but you need to run the engine on a vegetable based engine oil and change it at half intervals the issue being the oil passes the rings and needs to blend with the oil in the sump. If you need more info let me know and I can put you in touch with a man that can.

That is a nice mog! I've not seen a doka with that size cab on it, it's vast!
How do you manage to sit in it and not put the lights and siren on! 😂
LOL yeah, the temptation will be high... but helped by the fact that the blue lights at least will have to be covered before it hits UK roads.
Spotted this on VK Cars' website, and knew it was the one for us. We've not seen the super-long DOKA before either - awesome, isn't it? Very happy.
I don't think you need to cover the blues you just not allowed to use them on a public road 😊

Hi all,
here are some pics of the U1300L 37 with 3-window DOKA cab that we are hoping to bring into the UK towards the end of April. Going over to IJmuiden to pick it up and bringing it back on the ferry to Newcastle.
28,500km on the clock, fast axles and the OM352 engine... plus PTO water pump and front hydraulics... exhaust brake too - I think we're going to have fun! Just a shame it doesn't have a roof hatch... :D
BTW, if we post the VIN number, could one of you guys decode it for us?
We've decided that as we're going to be using it to move house, among other things, it's probably going to be most practical to get it plated and tested as a private HGV to begin with. Luckily Sue (the driver) has the C1 category on her license. 8)
We're also considering running it on veg oil at some point. ATG does what looks like quite a comprehensive kit, and it's TUV approved, though it's pricey :-\
Hoping the image attachment works...
