Sick of waiting

[Eric]

A minor thing, but I’m keen to know if the headlights automatically turn off when you kill the ignition and open the driver door, or if there is just a bloody sound warning for you to turn them off.
I always drive with lights on so the later would drive me mad.
Thanks

Oh, and enjoy the visit tomorrow!!

I thought most modern cars the canbus kills them and enables "follow me home lights"

Yep - depends on whether Ineos had decided it’s lights were modern or “built on purpose” I suppose.

Side Runners not sliders in my case, and they’re going to fit them in the next few days. It requires a software update and IA won’t authorise handover until that’s been done. At least it is at the dealer and not somewhere between “in production” and ”in transit”.. It’s physical in Northampton and we will commune with it tomorrow. Buttons will be pressed, engines will be revved, doors will be opened and shut and backsides will be heated…

Wish I was still living in Stoke Goldington. I’d pop up and have
a look.

Oh but onto something that is working well!! I just received my 3rd reminder of the Grenadier being at some 4x4 event in Victoria !!!!! Very useful as I live in Perth

Mate, I am on the Gold Coast and got an email about the drive event in Perth and booked a flight

 

[DaveB]

I hope so. I’m in denial. I reckon mine is on a ship somewhere

Clearly if you are on a ship in denial then your Grenadier must be in Egypt

I’ve changed my avatar to that of my actual vehicle already.. I’ll try to get some photos of stuff I’ve not seen already including the rear seating bolt holes as I plan to move the seats back to give more leg room.

Great news, look forward to the updates later on.

Yeah I saw that you had a couple of drives by the look of it.

The drive days here were oversubscribed. A mate over here who has an order nearly missed out on a drive.
Luckily for him I had to be in the Colorado that week and was able to transfer my drive spot to him.

Great news, look forward to the updates later on.

Well, I’ve taken a ton of photos and hope they’ll be interesting. I’ll let the handbrake on the photos off this afternoon as I need to sift them. Good news on the rear seat mounting points and some other interesting stuff.

Rear view camera in operation. Sorry it’s not a great shot but the car is still in “transport mode” so most electronic functions are disabled.

I would be curious to see if those bars "move" around as the steering changes, or if its just straight lines.

I couldn’t see them move but it based on the bmw system and as the gren was in transportation mode, it may have been disabled.

The ball was in a box in the back with some other goodies. Here are some random photos of other bits and bobs..

Has it keyless start button?
the key in the glove compartment has no key

I used my own car car to give a reference for the size of the glove box.. TBF, it’s great for a glove, but not much else..
