The cost of vet treatment has hit the headlines recently, with the BBC saying there is to be an enquiry into veterinary medicine costs. What they haven't mentioned is what lies underneath the tip of the iceberg: the wholesale change in veterinary practice ownership, and the size of the various...

So they’ve got the same chassis, gearbox, engine and suspension. Body panelling are different marginally but effectively they are the same vehicle. The price difference is £5000-£6000 for the same model with the Amarok being more expensive. However the Amarok has 5 years warranty where as the...
