Letter to Lynne Calder

[IslandFalconer]

a link or something to go on would be nice and I'll try and find out who, if it was on this site then I'll know who they are.

Here’s where I read it

is it a tsb or something? the dealer will want someone to compensate them.

After all the BS Ineos has put us through a quality of life software update should not cost anything. My BMW’s update often, and if it’s done at the dealership they don’t charge. It’s ridiculous if Lynn Calder thinks we should be paying for this.

 

[Baron von Teuchter]

I’d be amazed if any dealer is charging for the update. Really?

Thanks, I'll ask for clarification.

Yes, the dealers seem to have their own ideas on this stuff. When mine was in for repair last week I asked them to reset the service warning which is now showing 3000 miles overdue. They refused as they hadn't done the service! I doubt that is INEOS policy.

 

[Baron von Teuchter]

Certainly not in the spirit of the original promises…

Was this in our capital by any chance?

 

[Tom D]

Yes..

My Dealer set mine to the maximum
40 000KM at least that keeps me away from them for about 18 months.

 

[Baron von Teuchter]

Yes..

Aye ok then. All is clear.

I didn't even know they could do that. Funnily enough I have been exchanging emails with the IA Technical Director regarding the manuals and the code reader, just today I sent him a wish list of the things we would like the reader to do. One of them was set you own custom service interval shorter than the factory one.

I dropped my Grenadier off at my local dealer (Rusnak Pasadena) this morning to have the windshield replaced and reset the service reminder since I did the service myself. While I was there I asked if they could do the software update. She smiled and said that she was planning on surprising me with it. They also gave me a brand new loaner with 25 miles on it. That is what I call great service.

I bet the feeling is mutual!

It’s on its way back again, passenger footwell full of water, water nozzles keep falling out, Start/Stop acting up again, dash broken from last repair. Jus a shit show

You go through the posts on Reddit from the OP and you see they are based in northern Georgia and worked as up to year ago a master technician for Lexus. Maybe that help narrow down the search.

whats going on with the stop start other than the factory programming can be scary at times? I thought you had that wedged.

My money is he's full of hot air and not a dealer, if he was a dealer he would know the volume that are on the roads here and I can tell you right now it sure is not 20K units in the USA...

As a follow up to the comment on press cars, I understand them not to be on Florida plates.



So I'd disregard his expert opinion, I'll still check and see what's what though.

Eden is fantastic!

Hey,
I do have it wedged, and for some reason randomly it still just shuts off when stopped. Funky thing is the light goes out on the Start/Stop switch even though it’s wedged and the car doesn’t re start. It’s very very strange

Would this not be down to the fact your overriding a built in safety feature ?

This makes me very happy to hear this level of service from Rusnak Pasadena.

I would imagine windshield is not covered under warranty. Was the crack on the edge or directly in the middle?
