Another UK dealer gone.

Had excellent service from Denton’s Skipton. The lads ensured servicing, warranty work and all service updates were completed all in one day. Dropped off in the morning and spent the whole day in Skipton centre, sightseeing, eating and drinking. Took me nearly 2 hours to get home in traffic. Easy for many but I understand the frustration if further away or had to go back due to no parts. Cars perfect now!!!

Any service updates worth sharing? Software?

Yes, had new engine cover (diesel) and software update. Software ends in 2940 but I was told this is the for the head unit only. Modules may have been updated too. Changes I’ve noticed, unlock car, head unit does not turn on until you open car door and wait 10 seconds. Turning ON the key instantly boots up infotainment screen so I don’t need to half turn key anymore. (Meaning the auto in HVAC works as it should). Only negative I’m not sure about is the reverse camera picture has gotten smaller I think!!

That is also from that car magazine article....if that is the case, why a digital screen and not traditional dial gauges etc.? They are going into the opposite direction but use touchscreen...?

It is the one of the main things I wish they hadn't done but the screen we have is much smaller than anything else nowadays and I have found it can cover it easily when on dark roads and don't need to know my speed, or anything else

The modern world is full of compromises. We could walk to work and carry food home from the supermarket. But we don't
I'm not a great fan of touchscreens , but luckily I only rarely have to use the one in the Grenadier.
Maybe 6 times a week.

I must be dreaming. I was convinced it was half screen, not an overlay window.

Yes...that's why I try to keep my old cars as long as possible. I hope they last longer than me, so I can enjoy them for the rest of my life....

Without wishing to state the obvious - have you tried Grange?

My last years expérience was a complete lack of any communication whilst they carried out some jobs, when it might be ready etc. No return calls even when promised.

This year three promised call backs. Nothing yet.

The picture of your reversing screen matches the MY23 version. The MY24 is a bit bigger (not much) as it goes vertically to the top bar and bottom bar.

Thank you for confirming.
