N284DWR FODEN 2210 SKIPWAGON
The first new Foden four wheeler at Schofields, N284DWR replaced an ERF E6 180, unlike the ERF I specced this myself, with the Cummins 6ltr 210 and a 9 speed box this was better suited to our work than the ERF. We had updated our livery by now and I liked the look of this wagon.
Unfortunately the engine failed at 200,000km so I had a recon unit fitted, the wagon was then sandblasted and resprayed, had six new tyres fitted......and was destroyed in a fire!, due to an electrical fault shortly after. I had photo's and invoices to prove what we had done which was just as well as the loss adjuster wanted to adjust my loss and I was having none of it. we got a fair(ish) settlement in the end.
