Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #vehicle, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Extracted 5,5 to 5,7 litres of #oil - filled with ca. 5,7 litres (matches up with all online discussion of this process).

    I'd saved #Crossland filter (that previous dealer service workshop used in 2024/05) from last November (and some oil), to compare with #Mann filter - hard to see in these photos but 6 month oil change shows far less contamination (Mann filter is also made of better material)

    A "sniff test" (not very scientific, but sending oil to be tested costs more than the oil!) shows less #petrol in oil compared to when #car had 12 month oil changes with previous owners

    #Tomcat from a few streets away also came to inspect #vehicle, then decatted himself at speed as soon as I moved closer to the door (he always does that)

  6. il hotwire ur hardwiring

    look it's for cheaper car insurance okay? I aim them downward, mostly at my vehicle to reduce privacy infringement on people who also didn't ask for this. Fucking £650 my fat ass. And that was with agreeing to a month of monitoring via creepy app, ffs. At least it's not an all-the-time creeper black box.

    Fucks' sake with this shit.
