I do mine every 9000 as I set it to fixed servicing. If I had a modern diesel I’d half the fuel filter interval and the same with the oil if I was doing shorter trips mainly.
You can get the oil sampled but that’s not cheap and oil and filters aren’t bad, especially cartridge style ones.

Re: Your fleet running reports
what else have you been "fixing"...? I think the standard reply to that kind of question is “your mum” ? :D It didn’t cross my mind they would be stretch bolts, I think I’ve only ever encountered those on cylinder heads. From googling they seem to be M10x30. I’ve got plenty of ordinary M1...
Re: Food Fred
I’m not sure of the long term affects of seed oils but if we cook in them I get joint pain after a couple of days. It doesn’t happen with tallow and animal fats but that could be a personal response. Also zero bloating even when eating silly amounts of meat. Removing all grains, wheat and “healthy” ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Stretch bolts are awesome at holding stuff together but also a pain. On our work stuff you measure the stretch of a new bolt to determine if the torque is enough. It really is clever on some parts. On the TT they use stretch bolts for the engine mounts. If you reuse them they are either already used...
Re: EV Thread
It’s a hugely emotional subject amongst Americans it seems and if they want to help the American economy then why wouldn’t they do it.
You certainly will never beat them on price otherwise.

Re: EV Thread
They are trying to protect their domestic product, why would anyone question that ? Hundreds of thousands of jobs and economies rely on the American car industry. I wouldn’t buy a Chinese purely as I don’t think a milliseconds thought will be given to the second owner. Which would be people like me....

Re: 4 Paw Dog Drive Fleet running report
The cheese tax is ridiculous, it’s the only thing that gets them in the garden for a wee if it’s raining haha. So I wanted to do it with Flash but never got round to it, much to my dismay. So on Monday I went for a touristy walk around London with Hutch. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/l4oevcfb49zoxk...

First Vegans, then angry Vegetarians.
All other sensible veggies and general “let them be them” types will prosper in a food surplus and have BBQs and sing songs and harmony will flood the land.

Well, to be honest it would be nice to see solar all over supermarket / factory / warehouse roofs which is just dead wasted space instead of covering fields with it, but obviously there are logistic and structural issues with that which probably make it many times more expensive to install and main...

Re: Where to get (decent quality) impact driver bits?
Teng is good quality stuff. I don’t think I’ve ever had to buy new 8mm stuff, it’s never broken for me. Normal rules apply, sometimes it’s good to try and tighten it first to break the seal. Then you don’t risk damaging the driven side of the fastening when trying to get it to start moving. Dave!
Re: Jack envy
Beany is correct. That looks pretty decent and Facom are a good brand, aren’t they? I think so. Rightly or wrongly I think of them as semi-professional, a step up from DIY grade. @V8Granite is my tool guru, I'd appreciate his opinion on this :) Facom are good, no issues with stuff at work. Also you...

If it was easy and/or reliable everyone would be doing it. There are more stories like DrCarloses than Dave!'s. I think if some people are very methodical, have specific rules they go by and keep a war chest then I can see how they do it. I also bet it takes a lot more work than it looks to “guess”...
