I do all my servicing my self at home,

Recently in an accident, and the insurance co want vehicle service records
to confirm i kept the vehicle in good condition,
i kept simple lists of what needed replacing, and i have the reciepts
somewhere for all the bit's i've bought over the years, most of them are
just credit card reciepts now tho.

Insurance co seem happy with my ability to perform services to my own
vehicles, so that's hopefully not a problem,

But for the future i want to keep detailed service records of all my
vehicles.

Basicaly i need a vehicle service check sheet type form, been searching all
day and not found any suitable, only ones are american, and are set up for
petrol engined cars.

I read somewhere a while ago someone has a DIY servicing sheet/check list
on-line somewhere, for anyone to print off and use to keep a record of
what's checked, adjusted or replaced on their vehicles when they service
them at home.

Anyone know of this, or similar.

I'm going to have to modify it, so may end up making my own up, but a form
that can be modified to suit the specific vehicle would be great.. excell
format i guess.

My main vehicle is a diesel motorhome, so half the items on a car service
don't apply,
so i want to customize  a service check sheet to suit my vehicle and the way
i do servicing..

i.e check everything, and record any adjustments made, i have things like 2
alternators, 2 fuel tanks and the associated solenoids, underslung water
tanks and a gas tank, solar panels and a sat dish mounted on the foor (check
them for security)
an onboard generator.. so i'd want a little part on the form for checks to
that.. i.e power output - voltage, frequancy, engine - valves, carb
adjustments, governer adjustments etc,

i tow my bike on a monocle lift fitted to the back of the van (a sinlge
wheel version of a recovery vehicles spectacle lift :)
so a bit on the form for checking that's all secure and safe,

Anyone point me to a suitable form on-line that can be edited, or even if
not, and home servicing type forms, that i can use for ideas of exactly what
to put down when tailoring it to my vehicle.

Also got a motorbike, so a service form for that would be handy too.

How about making up one yourself? If you have something like MS Office 
installed you can play with Excel/Access. It will keep you out of trouble 
now the nights are drawing in. ;-)

Well, now, hold on.  Surely you know what you do to the vehicle and you have 
access to a computer, so use something on the computer.

At its most basic, you can use an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of the 
odometer reading and the date, what you've done and if you want to scare 
yourself, how much it cost.  Put everything on there and you'll be able to 
sort in date order, cost, or machine.

If you so felt inclined you could add one entry for what you checked or lots 
of columns for all of the stuff you'd check, then mark when you've done it.

I'll knock something very, very quick up if you need a hand?  I have 
something similar myself, except I pay somebody to do most things for me. ;)
