No idea, I just put it in when it says. I discovered very early on that from saying it is running out to being full is about 5 litres and not a 10 litre can at all. Recently been doing a fair bit of motorway driving on a daily basis and thought it was using a fair bit more but it's possible it was just the extra miles as it doesn't get used every day normally.

My Navara has add blue warning issues just the same as your Ranger. So does my uncles Citroen van, I think it is all just a scam and a load of bollocks myself. Navara tows 3.5 ton and does so easily enough, fuel economy is brilliant if you drive sensibly and not awful if you don't. I really like mine and although I was really wanting a Hilux I am glad I didn't just because of the fuel use. My policy on the add blue engine light thingy is just ignore it, no point paying a grand to have it fixed for a month and then back again. Still uses add blue and still tells me it needs some when it gets low. No issues whatsoever from the light being on and miraculously it goes off long enough to pass an MOT.

Has it been refurbed and fitted with taller thicker firebricks?

Free if you've got cancer. I would prefer to not have cancer and not need the drugs. They do seem to dish them out like Smarties though, could open a pharmacy myself with the surplus. Haven't taken any of them for about 3 weeks. Anyone know the street price for morphine?

Couldn't afford them but posh mates broke their arms with them.

It seems the priority in candidates for councils and government is to be a feckin idiot. How the feck did we end up in this state.

The only ones I have had any experience with have been Bramley and Discovery which are partial tip bearers. Treat them the same .

Cheers, and my comments will be on how to prune an apple tree for fruit production rather than as an ornamental as you have done. Apple trees in gardens often serve a different purpose than in an orchard as you point out that in this case it is for screening first and foremost. The main difference is that rather than reducing the length of branches as in the above pics the branch would be removed entirely. So rather than having all the branches still there but shorter the tree would be reduced by having less total number of branches, so thinned out by maybe a third. All those cuts will produce loads of new shoots which will all attempt to grow upright. The reason you cut the whole branch off is so those new shoots are either where you can easily reach to remove them or so they are coming from a point on the tree where the new growth can be used to shape the tree how you want it. Apples normally fruit best on growth that is 3-5 years old so you constantly have replacement growth forming on the tree. When you prune you are keeping some young growth for the replacement fruiting branches and removing the older branches that are past their best production levels, while also keeping the tree in the shape or even size that you want. The trees in the pic appear to be pretty big but with careful pruning they can be brought into a much more compact size, easier to prune and any fruit is more accessible for picking. In order to get a good cropping tree it is far better to cut branches right off than to shorten them a bit, shortening branches just results in a flush of new growth that needs removing annually and you never get the 3 year old wood that will carry a crop. The owner then wants to know why they never get any apples. Another good reason to get as big a crop as possible is that the tree then grows less and needs less pruning, but if you are earning good money pruning the mass of growth each year maybe that isn't what you want. A problem that comes with making big cuts to thin a tree out is they are highly susceptible to silverleaf infection. It becomes a difficult choice. thank you @Jon Lad for letting me use your pics to try and answer the op, assuming they don't just want a screen.

Grubbing an old mature orchard. Sad in some ways because it had been there most of my life but about 25% were already missing from disease.

@Jon Lad for the sake of discussion would you be offended if I said what I would have done different and why? This would be me looking at it from a commercial apple grower.

I use a shooting forum that has strict rules about not mentioning politics or cats. Maybe ivy should be added to the swear filter on here.

Got some farm tracks that were put in mid 1980's with the white fleecy stuff and no issues with them, otherwise I have no idea but it's not short term.

My digger man says it is as good as another 4" of ballast/MOT.

I only ever hear of blueberry growers closing, going out of business, going bust, losing lots of money. This has been the same for the last 30 years or more but have heard more lately. Heard of a big one up north closing last year due to lack of pickers and customers.

Drivingthe 2 miles to the gym is the one I can't fathom out.

But cars are a massive revenue stream for the government so we won't do anything there.

To make it impossible to fit rabbit guards and to stop you mowing around them properly.

It was you wasn't it you bodger. 🤣

I'd say it was the EU subsidising road network improvements, particularly the ones between Spain and here. Once that was improved the floodgates were open to produce that was so much easier to grow in Spain than here. We always had to compete with them but their produce was ruined by time it got here on the old road network. We can and do still produce plenty of salad crops in this country and you could have them at this time of year too. The energy prices rocketed and supermarkets refused to up their prices so the growers simply didn't plant the crop, why would they. On the continent the supermarkets adjust their prices according to supply and demand as most normal workplaces do, UK supermarkets are so inflexible any shortages be it salad crops or fresh eggs are entirely their fault.

Generally refused to deal with any supermarkets as they are nothing but twisters. Was supplying wholesale markets but as they supplied the greengrocers that the supermarkets put out of business even the wholesale market disappeared. I still grow and produce on a small scale because I enjoy it. I have top uality stuff and people want it so no trouble selling and no advertising needed.

You can have as much UK produced fruit, veg and salad as you want. The problem is that you hae to pay for it and the supermarkets won't. Their entire policy is to set the price as low as possible and keep it there, if that means the growers have to produce at a loss that is their problem. Obviously the growers can't continue to produce at a loss so stop doing so. No produce means no supply. I am convinced that the economic pressures on many things in this country are not going to mean you have to pay more for it but it will mean you just can't have it at all. Too much downward pressure on price just means it is too uneconomical to bother producing. There are plenty of UK glasshouses standing empty for this very reason and orchards being ripped out too. My trade is fruit and veg growing, I jacked in 4 years ago for these reasons. It makes no business sense whatsoever to be a primary food producer in this country, fruit and veg have practically gone and it will be livestock next. Farmers just want to farm, you pay them enough so they can have some profit and you can have fruit, veg and salad coming out of your ears. The ability and willingness is there it just needs paying for.

The easiest way to transmit silverleaf is by not disinfecting your euipment after using on an infected tree.

I think its a fungus that gets in them.

56 got picked and so became the target sweetspot for all manufacturers to aim for I'd guess. No point making a vehicle perform best at a speed nobody measures at. It is even more economical at 40mph but not really practical.
