The invention provides a modular system of components and systems for utility vehicles, allowing for rapid and straightforward field repair. Vehicle components are arranged within cluster modules, each cluster module comprising a container within which the related components and systems for that cluster are contained, being connectable to the utility vehicle and adapted to provide easy diagnostics of system faults. The cluster modules are designed to be independently exchanged in and out of the vehicle should any single part in a cluster fail, without the need for onsite service. Removal and replacement of a cluster module requires only minimal mechanical skill and the faulty module can then be out-shopped for repair. The system provides for more simplified maintenance of vehicles, where removing the vehicle out to a service location is impractical or impossible.
