I made a video showing the operation of the Grenadier Workshop Manual

I just watched. Access to this would be an absolute dream come true. It is far better than a paper manual even in the trail I have a starlink and an iPad. Love how it walks you through the process. Somehow I doubt they are going to show you things like setting the piston ring gap but it should cover most of what people need.

BTW: You did a great job presenting the manual. Thank you again.

I must admit I don't have a set of spare rings in my Gren spares kit. Nor a timing chain.
It seems easier to have starlink and a PLB!

I haven't actually looked at the engine. I doubt it has any major procedures on it as it's unlikely the dealerships would take on a job like that. It probably has remove / replace engine though..

Thank you Lynne and Tom. Way better than I expected. Having said that, the promised access to a workshop manuals etc in the early days played a significant part in my decision to purchase as I travel remote and needed some confidence that I or a back of Bourke mechanic would have access to some detailed knowledge of the vehicle rather than have it towed 1500 or so Klm's to a dealer. Next a bi-directional diagnostic tool would be most welcome. Thanks again to Tom, Lynne and this forum.

I'll watch you video and read your substack over a glass of red this evening.

Cheers Steve

Im pretty excited about this. Thanks Tom. Nice little teaser taste / intro to using it. Looks fantastic.

I believe that this access for owners will help sales both new and secondhand. It’s what we’ve been waiting for. All we need now once this delivered is some independent workshops that can service and repair Grenadiers but they need access to the diagnostics.
Well done Tom

There are a handful in the UK. Belton, Uttoxeter, Kilmarnock for example.

We have a dearth of Ineos service centres down south. The ones that are left are overwhelmed with work including the Northampton branch where mine has been for a service.

In my last communication from Lynn (yesterday) she did say that it might be months rather than weeks before a scan tool was available. But they are pushing ahead with it.

To be honest, no manual doesn’t bother me as much as deallers closing apparently n increasing numbers - the UK and now Australia.
I hope they sort that shit out real quickly.

Tom, next time you’re talking………..

 

[Tom D]

If they sort out the scan tool and the manual finding a dealer will be less important.
You'll still want one for warranty work, but if your local garage can service and repair it or you can do it yourself that will be a massive plus.
