Sometimes I have (had) to wait weeks for parts, that's not helpful for sure if you did other jobs in between. but otherwise like you no labelling required. i just helps to have the bolts taken from under the hood in 1 place and the ones from below in another.

depends if I had done the job before or not. I do mostly the same as you, all the bots removed from one location in 1 jar. When the parts need to go back where they came from (bearing caps etc) i pin them in order on a piece of cardboard. But simple stuff like a gearbox, all in 1 jar.

that's true, it doesn't take much. I should have said, I never had a bad experience with anti-seize I applied. I did have to deal with swollen brake slider boots and bushings from useing anti-seize there. But that's not the anti seize fault it's the numbnuts fault who used it on rubber

It's what I did, and I even stretched out the interval later on as the continuously fresh oil didn't load the filter as quickly as 1 regular oci would.

I used axle grease for that, don't waste the good stuff on shenanigans!

Never had a bad experience with it

Maybe yes. I know impacts can often loosen bolts that would snap if tried manually.

I undo the spark or glow plugs on my engines early in life and fit anti-seize. And I apply it to other bolts that might one day be stuck aswell.

I have varying work shedules, and I change my bed time accordingly, I like to be fresh before a 9 hour shift of driving. But I also tend to stay up long enough so I can sleep till it's time to get up in one setting. I can easily go to bed at 10pm and be up again at midnight if I'm not careful...

Well, the MG ZS is not what one would buy if they wanted to off-road, and not a 2wd Duster either. Too hard is subjective, but I chose the HS for it's soft suspension so likely would find the ZS too hard aswell (for this type vehicle). But for something that lives on tarmac (like 99% of the...

Here's what KM77 had to say about the MG ZS, they confirmed how you felt about the lethargic power at low RPM they don't have a 4x4 duster tested, but they did a 2wd with petrol engine: They also compare both directly in the duster video

It's quite a french thing, the 1.6 hdi has the same, likely on ford 1.6 tdci aswell

calcium des act as a friction modifier, and can have EP properties. It's the reason we don't really see oils abandoning calcium completely.

The boron is likely part of the calcium detergent/dispersant package, so goes up with higher calcium content boron end capped dispersants
