I have reached 50,000 miles

[ste68blue]

Hi guys and gals, i realised today i have just reached 50,000 miles with my trusty terrano.

I have had it since december 2010 and it had 132,000 miles on the clock, it has now just passed 182,000 miles and still going strong.

I have to say it has been a cracking motor and a joy to drive and work on, very tough.

I did consider replacing it once with a long wheel base but thought better of it, better the devil you know...

Ive had mine from 2010.

I've had mine since 1995, I have less than 97k miles on it. :augie
I have never made the effort to use veg oil, maybe if I became a member of booker, I might try it.. It would have to be a great saving, but we don't have a booker close by, so more fuel and cost to get it.:doh

But for the mileage I do... is it worth it, short journeys, used almost every day.
What if I fill up, or even 1/2 fill up, so lasts over a month or more, does it go stale or thicken up?

After the initial filter change, how often do you need to change it?
It could work out that the savings I make on diesel fuel, are spent on fuel filters and fuel going to buy it. :doh

The Mav has run well for 19 years on diesel, everything on the engine other than the oil and filter and a few glow plugs, is still original.
No adjustments (except tappets) made either, and I have never looked at the mini filter either.
So if it ain't broke... don't fix it...
