Devil Red Grenadier - Perth Western Australia

[5teve]

Hi Guys

New Member - New Owner but long time Defender owner (110 TD5)

Been waiting a week or 2 for our Devil Red Fieldmaster with some nice options to be ready (well more the finance) and finally took delivery today.

Its ex Demo - 6000odd km and the colour is stunning - really suits the car with the black alloys and black chequer plate.

Still finding my way around it - already getting niggled by a high pressure warning on the TPMS that wont reset... but thats half the fun - learning what is what.

Ive been reading the forums pretty avidly for a week or so so I have some 'plans' for the vehicle.... nothing major just roof rack, lights, UHF etc.. as it will mainly be used for towing (boat) and mild tracks. Looking at a caravan also so maybe for towing that too

Heres a few pics and i'm sure i'll post more as I get things done...

Thread 'AUSTRALIA: Third Party Suppliers for the INEOS Grenadier and QM'

PART 1
The Quartermaster's chassis is longer than the Grenadier's, so not all the Grenadier's accessories will fit (like the side steps and rock sliders). QM owners should double check accessories fitment.

AIRBAG SUSPENSION (see also SUSPENSION HERE)

1. Airbag Man suspension for the Grenadier and QM, both come in standard and 2 inch lift kits. QM kits here and Grenadier Kits here;
2. Heasmans (Sydenham Sydney) can can do Polyair airbags and Bilstein suspension;
3. GrenX Polyair Grenadier Ultimate Airbag Suspension...

An enticing colour, and welcome to the forum. Coming from a Td5 Defender you will hopefully find the Grenadier a natural successor as indeed do I.

Thanks!

Actually impressively so as a successor - although my brain is struggling a bit - The touchscreen like our Kia Carnival - but only a bit of the tech vs the solidity of the vehicle and the roughness (for want of a better word) of the machine. My brain expects high tech but it stops before it gets too far.

Its like ineos pitched it directly at defender owners - and obviously spent time making it as familiar as possible - I find the drivetrain smooth - but just with enough vibration put your mind at ease and comfort you that its not a ultra modern vehicle and is infact agricultural - literally. The first few gears are also very short like the defender.. always ready to catch out the car behind you.. I have seen lots mention the turning circle? - I actually think its better than my 110 td5 by a considerable margin... the steering centering - well brilliantly smooth turn to turn and light - the lack of centering as you get close to head on has nearly caught me a few times - but i drive about 4 other cars... so i'm still getting used to it...i certainly dont find it a show stopper

Only real winge is the USB ports - the person who decided on those - obviously needs shooting - or they forgot them and they were the cheapest place to mod the tooling! Yes I knwo the defender came with none - but honestly you dont expect it with wind down windows.... So i'm off into fusion 360 shortly and will be seeing if i can model up a few USBC sockets and a wireless charge pad to slot in just under the dash where the phone mat is... I expect i'll be hitting fusion a fair bit designing various parts in the future (Ex mechanical Design engineer - with a few 3d printers.. )
