Fit likes?

Originally from the north east, near Alford. I’m now down in Peeblesshire, Scottish Borders.

Just joined the global forum yesterday and it was suggested I joined this sub group.

Been the owner of a 24p grenadier, petrol, since October last year. A queens red trail master with soft and rough packs, rock sliders.

Not done many mods, only a few bits for storage from buzzoverland; drawer system, bulk head and shelf. Thinking about a low height roof bars, low height roof light bar and some braid alloys, maybe.

wagon gets used for moving small feed bales, fire wood, stalking / shoot wagon and a general long hauler on domestic trips.

Still loving it.

Aye aye, nae bad, flike yersel?

I’m the other way round, from Duns originally but now between Alford and Huntly.

At’s affa fine, the Kildrummy.

Quite a few Grenadiers around here actually, great service dealer in Huntly. They look after 30-40 of them. Who’s your closest? Grange in Edinburgh? How’s that going?

Yeh that’s where I got mine. In for its service next week, a major one @ £1’k!

Seen a few about, but not as many as you might think being near to Edinburgh. Not seen any quartermasters yet tbf.

I’m yet to come across another grenadier on the shoots I go to in the Borders, which seem odd given the utilitarian nature of them. Lots of traditionalists with old classic 90s. (They never wave at you when passing tho )

That the third service? Mine is going in for that in a few weeks (and it’s first MOT) but I didn’t actually ask for a price, was around £450 for the first two.

I’ve only seen one QM up here, they’re not common at all.

Ha - I get the odd wave from a Defender driver, I susiect they didn’t realise it wasn’t a Landy!

No second service.

That is good, especially if they used IA prices for wipers ( instead of Bosch) and Brembo brakes.

@Pat_Mustard apologies for hi-jacking your thread, you'll find it's common practice here

Anyway, my 3rd service, mot and a couple of small fixes was £710 at STC. So your brake price was good.
Did I maybe see you in a white pickup outside STC on Monday afternoon ?? I was collecting my Grenadier, Sela Green.

Sorry Angus, didn’t see you. Yes that was me, collecting Maggie - warranty stuff: a sensor had to be replaced. It was throwing up a load of warning lights. Saw your truck though

Just to put a bit more context to the prices mentioned above.
I had the diesel fuel filter replaced which was £153
So for Tony's brake pads and wipers was about £278.
Was it just the front or all round pad replacement @Coullabus ?
