Americas Don't buy a Grenadier (Steering pump noise and HVAC issues)

[NQ94]

Aussies are resourceful and embrace the "reduce-re-use-recycle" ethos, whilst taking the piss.

"In ancient times, various materials were used for anal cleansing before the invention of toilet paper, with stones and broken pottery being common among some civilizations. The ancient Greeks, for instance, used "pessoi" (smooth stones or pebbles) and "ostrica" (fragments of pottery) for this purpose. Some of these pottery shards even had names inscribed on them, potentially as a way to insult enemies by symbolically smearing them with waste."

Never been that resourceful to resort to smooth stone but one has to be very aware of Gympie Gympie when resourcefulness is required up here in the north.

I sometimes even wonder if one or two people here are not being paid by Ineos in some fashion to soften the rhetoric about problems.

My last (indirect) paycheck from Ineos was May 2023 for what it's worth...

Hey, I used to work for Land Rover, but that was well before this online crap. Regardless, we all make mistakes from time to time

Mine was simply for being a driver on the PTO2 tour... I say indirect because Ineos paid the marketing company, the marketing company paid the company I was working for, and then they paid me

I assumed as much. I was a tech primarily and a driver trainer and wheels event coordinator.

Australia's coastline is our fishing spot obviously for the saltwater varieties but we do have the freshwater trout and other species. Tasmania and Victoria but we do tend to jump across the ditch to New Zealand for the fly fishing is another level. I have fished around Australia and mainly SE Queensland including Sunshine Coast, Fraser Island. So when you are ready there are Gren owners on here from each corner of this great fishing spot, Australia

Haven’t been down in over a year but will definitely warn you ahead of the next invasion.

I'm certainly not on the dole - and I paid full price.

I was promised a $0.02 discount that I never got... #IneosFailedPromises

So many things can bite you on the arse when nature calls and push comes to shove!

 

[CrazyOldMan]

this issue doesn’t concern you. Your outsider’s viewpoint is not valued

Look at it this way - I assume you guys have the odd defects, because there’s no way you could be experiencing such an existential crisis over the noise level the rest of us are experiencing. So nobody has to have their feelings hurt, since obviously by “Karens,” I mean the OTHER owners who are just griping. Nobody on this forum - obviously. Probably on FB.

It’s not existential. I still enjoy the vehicle. I am just calling out your “buttin-in” on a topic you don’t give a sht about, yet you come here dropping your sociocultural evolution thesis.

It’s noise / filler. Diffuses the meaningful conversation in this thread on a specific topic.

I forgot there is an ignore feature. We ought to both use it

Oddly, as a community, we all seem to have the same level of concern about most other things - like the CV / drive shaft, windshield, service resets, etc. I can’t think of many (or any) areas where there are big geographic disparities. Just this one. Either
the product is different, or the owners.

One of my biggest delights was not meeting Anand at the NY drive event.
