Worldwide Section Guidelines

[Stu_Barnes]

Ok, so a little change from the usual way of things. This forum is for members to post questions to INEOS Automotive for answer by the relevant Dpt.

• please select your geographical area as a prefix.
• pose your question in a respectful manner.
• the usual forum guidelines apply with regards to content and tone
• feel free to post in your native language, but know that your question will be translated with deepl and may lose some clarity

This forum will be monitored and replied to on a rolling basis, (we're still fine tuning this part so please have patience with that) the intention is to have an ongoing constructive dialogue with the manufacturer. The first tranche of questions will be posed to Lynn Calder for a podcast that we are going to record Friday, July 25'th. For this opening round we are going to take the question from each geographical prefix with the most thumbs up as well as a few other things that we would like to discuss. This will be live until the point of recording so it could get interesting.

Stu.

Some of the early models had a transfer case replacement, discussed here. Is your VIN low enough?

I took it to a differential expert today and he says it’s the rear diff for sure.

 

[HereinDaRockies]

When is the interview coming out?

 

[acky]

Most people here are volunteers and give their free time.

A long format unedited podcast is indeed what we want

I’m not on the editing end, but three cameras and three mics means nine hours of material to sort through.

And despite the very professional, high quality product () we put into the ether, it’s certainly not our day jobs and family/life still happens. Topping that, the podcast operates at a notable loss (not complaining, just pointing out) so sometimes things take a while.

Sorry to come across as defensive, I’m really not, but just want to bring some things to your attention.

Sounds like you need some more volunteers who have knowledge at this stuff.

Collaborative editing is cost prohibitive.

And there will info closely held amongst the more privileged members of the forum.

Plus it’s not like factory work.. just divide the work up into chunks and have at it.

Whom did you interview? I forgot
Need any help with the editing?

 

[HereinDaRockies]

I am guessing Ineos legal is reviewing calder’s statements to ensure there is minimized liabilities.
I mean I would do it, if I was Ineos…. They don’t have a playbook for something like this.

That was exactly what I was thinking.

This was an interview. Unless there was some sort of agreement where Ineos had right of approval prior to publication, I don't know what their legal dept would have to do with it. There's no expectation of privacy.

Seems like everything is needs to pass the legal test regardless of if it is public or private use.

My dad did some consulting work for some of our vendors for a certain race car organization. I was at the track taking pictures of the testing we were doing. The race car organization needed to allow me to use my pictures for the trade publication article. They also needed to ok the trade publication article prior printing.

Driving a Ford Expedition around the track was kind of fun though since this particular track had no tunnel entrance. lol

I'm not sure what the agreement was between the parties, but that's specifically not an interview. Consulting work is basically PR, and of course the subject gets to sign off. If that was the format for here, the finished product would seem lack some veracity.

Now, a "reporter" can choose to give the the subject a period to review the article for any corrections or clarifications because the important essence of the article is getting it right (which I would assume is the goal here), and not some gotcha moment, but, lacking some specific agreement the reporter still has the final say and the subjects recourse becomes applicable libel law if its really that serious. If someone comes up and wants to ask you questions, it's up to you to sort that all out before you open yer yap.

I don't get the impression Mrs Calder is that worried about it. Answering questions is the only way for her to shut the rumor mill down, and she she seems to be confident telling what she knows. Like a person that not really hiding anything.

 

[Krabby]

(somewhat defensively this time but I get it. The delay is annoying)

Hi guys - nope. Not PR. No review. No agreement. LC was great and there were no conditions. Only thing was her schedule wasn’t too flexible while she was stateside and it wasn’t super convenient for us on the back end to edit things up. Trust me though, it’s being worked on when time allows and will be online once it’s done.
