The last comment was for balance. That load of copy and paste was a waste of pixels mostly relating to fuel filters - what’s the biggest variable in a fuel system? - I’ll give you a hint; it’s not the filter...... The only brand I am currently aware of that is NOT OEM approved is Crosssland Quality manufactures seek OEM approval because the market is vast - worldwide not just nationally, engines are found the world over in gensets, mini tractors, refeer units, boats, cars, motorcycles, trucks god knows what else tbh. Turning out any old shit that doesn’t meet the manufactures specifications just doesn’t really happen. i could bore everyone to death about ISO quality assurance, the right to repair which is an EU wide policy and so on. I won’t though because life is too short. I like your Bukh mans style - talk about a quality sales pitch! Does he offer a bag of magic beans with every filter purchase?

Didn't foxy uncover some slimy Indian issues with Crosland filters a while ago?
Did these Indians also add a couple of extra S's to the name ?

The last comment was for balance. the right to repair which is an EU wide policy That probably means nothing. The EU certainly does nothing to punish airlines who refuse to pay out compensation for having planes cancelled for 'technical reasons' (bad scheduling of pilots' duties / pilots asleep / pilots ill, etc.). I'd describe all con-men as 'slimy'.

Foxy give it up! Right to repair means the independent sector can work on vehicles using OEM specification parts without invalidating the manufactures warranty - it so people don’t get mugged off buying parts in fancy boxes that were made in the same factory as the non branded ones. it also ensures access to repair techniques and vehicle data. again a wide topic best steered clear of if you don’t know what your talking about 🤦🏼♂️

Some 20 yrs ago I wanted 5 HT leads for a 316 BMW. Off to Henry Trembeki the local BMW agent. £63 please sir. Me, "you what, I have just paid £17 for 5 for an Austin Ambassador. I don't think yours are 3 times better. "You will just have to pay the price". A bit of digging found 5 Bosch leads (OEM stuff) and 5 spark plugs for £25. Sorry Henry!
I don't mind anybody making a living, but they don't make a fortune at my expense.

(snip) im not keen on balwin filters at all tbh, bloke who i buy all our filters from always used to stock crossland, and nothing else. Over the last year of so he has gradually phased them out and changed over to balwin, the price has remained the same however. Not sure what it is about the balwin stuff, but its just got a "cheap" look and feel to it. Put a pair on a tractor which has never had a diesel problem in its life, never blocked a filter up or starved itself. Same diesel as we have always used, with the baldwin filters after 4 months they were blocked solid and it stopped, all the other tractors were running fine so it wasnt a dirty fuel issue. I then weighed a new baldwin filter vs a CAV branded one i bought off ebay. T he balwin one was 25% heavier, and the density of the paper material was a lot thicker than the CAV. Put the CAV filters on the said tractor and it hasnt missed a beat since! That put me off balwins big time, plus the fact that their fuel filters have the writing printed on upside down, which just makes them look completely wrong on the tractor " (snip) So he would have had less problems running without a filter at all? From the above, it sounds as if the Baldwin was doing a better filtering job, stopping small stuff that was flowing through the CAV filters. Wonder how many hours the tractor did in four months?

I don't mind anybody making a living, but they don't make a fortune at my expense. I don't mind paying prices I consider reasonable, I spend a lot of time trying to work out what is worth having and what is worth avoiding. It is not always true that the cheap products are as good as the 'quality/brand name products). I would rather invest in something good than skimp and pay a heavier price later. it's a balancing act. I am generally disappointed with today's 'take the money and run' attitude by companies. I do prefer Sainsburys/Tescos 'all-purpose cleaning cloths' to the original Johnson & Johnson J-cloths. Sometimes the copy/cheaper versions of something are actually better. We need the facts to judge, but facts are hard to come by.

Hi. My boat is due a service b4 we go out next time but as we will be going out for a few mths in one go I thought I would stock up on a few basics. The engine is a Nannie (Kubota) 4.200HE and the previous owner (who had it built) used Nannie filters ( 2 fuel 1 oil) and Morris Servol Performance 15/40 oil. From the comprehensive details he left us money was no object for him and, whilst I don't want to cause problems I am sure there is equally good stuff out there which is cheaper. For example a Nannie oil filter is £18+ but an Alco is about £8. Can I save money and keep quality? Any advice gratefully accepted. Mann filters are the Shizzel www.ebay.co.uk/p/W-920-80-Mann-Hummel-Oil-Filter/1025349074Some other options. Replacement oil filters for NANNI-DIESEL 970603003: Baldwin B229 Donaldson P550318 Fleetguard LF3376 LUBER-FINER PH253 Use a good 15/40 such as Exol www.lubetechshop.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=22_32&products_id=62Morris stuff is great, but no real advantage over the above. Don't pay for labels or perceived extra protection where there is none.
That's very good advise gazza, as there are still way too many people that always think that it's a better product when it's more expensive, even if it came originally out of the same drum, or out of the same factory, and your only paying lots of extra money for a label that doesn't change the product. Peter.

I found a website call in-line-filters You put in the make/part number and they give you an equivalent e.g. for a Nanni which would cost me £20 they offer a Donaldson Lube for £ 2.75. Is this buy cheap buy twice or as anyone an opinion of the company or the filters? Thanks Comments for Baldwin filters: " im not keen on balwin filters at all tbh, bloke who i buy all our filters from always used to stock crossland, and nothing else. Over the last year of so he has gradually phased them out and changed over to balwin, the price has remained the same however.

That put me off balwins big time, plus the fact that their fuel filters have the writing printed on upside down, which just makes them look completely wrong on the tractor " "I stay away from baldwins.. " This story about the Baldwin filters on the tractor reminds me of a man who docked his boat for repainting and an insurance survey. When it was pointed out to him that all the hull's sacrificial anodes weren't showing any signs of deterioration at all, and in fact looked as good as new, he expressed his delight saying - ". . . just shows how well they've been working, then, doesn't it !"

There are several American oilfilter comparison tests, here's one of them :

We're up for blacking this June - and a look at our anodes - and possibly/probably a hull survey (again - last time July 2016) (insurance company wants one every 5 years, before Summer 2021 in our case).
Anyone know of hull surveyors around Penkridge?
