Hey guys, thanks for all the information regarding bugs and server restarts etc. The server I left the vehicle on restarts every 6 hours therefore has restarted around 3 times since I left it there 2:00pm (UTC+4). I think that I left the vehicle too far off the map and so it has been despawned by the "hive". I just wish they would give better signs to tell the player "THE MAP ENDS HERE, DON'T LEAVE VEHICLES PAST THIS POINT". I have seen from other posts that people say you will know when the map ends because the terrain stops, but by looking at an online map such as http://dayzhq.com/map/ the map ends long before you get to open plains without any terrain at all on them. Thanks for all the info and help, at this point I might aswell cut my losses. It looks like i'm off to find a new off-roader :(
