Sick of waiting

[Lollo050968]

Is that from the lower of the two tow hitch stickers?

The one direct beside the hook, I have seen only one.

Look at this one:

I don't know if I'm actually sick of waiting yet, but I am growing more excited as time goes by. Does that count?

Yes now mine is on a boat on it’s way to me, the excitement is definitely growing

That’s the first symptom during incubation time.
You have to stay strong now!

Is the second symptom questioning your options and debating whether to call a mulligan on your specs?

 

[Gero]

I don't see the photo of the door. Am I missing it somewhere?

My car is at the retail partner (Italy)
No full payment requested yet
No need software updated or other campaigns
Simply amazing. Can’t wait!

Which one is right?

It does seem like IA UK are a bit off the ball. It’s been a week since I said I’d take the cancellation car and I haven’t heard anything at all. Not even a confirmation email. It’s annoying as the car is sitting there waiting to go. I have everything ready to pay.

I think we’d be better off with the dealership doing the sales.

And that's my car, same information, no towing hook ordered, but everything ready for it if needed later:

Hi and thanks. Any tips/advice as to taking off of trim and ladder from small door to allow the wrap to be correctly applied?

I know right ? Somehow is so perfect ! As for the rock-sliders the guys said they had a few sets but apparently steps are the ones who are difficult to get .

Exactly.

I've asked Ineos for clarification - it's pending.

I think I know the answer though. The S 350kg is the rating on the actual equipment as per it's testing/type approval; the lower figure is actually for the equipment when mounted to your vehicle and must be dependent on other vehicle specific data.

Whether there's also some detail in the Grenadier whole vehicle type approval that looks at available payload and only allows a certain percentage of it to be allocated to trailer nose weight or it's based around actual rear axle weights, I don't know.

My vehicle sticker actually states 301kg, so if I want to maintain a 10% nose weight I'd be limited to 3,010kg total trailer weight not the 3,500kg I thought I had purchased.

I'd like to know what would happen if I was stopped at a roadside test and found to be above the 301kg nose weight. Have I committed an offense?

Jean ~ can you get a close in of the sticker so we can read the S figure?

the 10% nose weight is a "rule of thumb" in this wide brown land down-under. Does it have actual legal status in the UK?

The 10% nose weight rule of thumb in its self doesn't, but the S value has to be stipulated by manufacturers and is mandatory by directives in the EU and UK.

Thanks Eric, understood re S value. However the nose weight is somewhat arbitrary within reason and will be dependent to some extent on the design of the trailer/caravan etc and the contribution of the 'nose weight' to the overall vehicle payload. Perhaps a reduced 'suggested' nose weight on the sticker is also dependent on other weight bearing options on the vehicle: sliders, winch, roof rack etc, all of which decrease the ultimate payload compared to a vehicle with no options. I guess all will be revealed when some IA guru is prepared to make a statement?
