yep, CAD looks nice but is harder to document offline.CAD-IT should be fabulous, which is why I shall be very angry if I don't get unconstrained access to it. Ineos Automotive and I are likely to be having a falling out over it; my Grenadier was bought on the basis that I could, (if I wanted), maintain it myself away from civilisation. Needing cell phone coverage, (for mobile Internet), and to pay for a licence for a limited period is NOT wilderness friendly access!
Was the part Ineos branded? I wonder is that reflector is common to another vehicle. I also wonder what other parts are shared with other vehicles that will be able to be sourced outside the dealer network.I don't know if this is the right thread to post, but @emax will like this
In September, while leaving my youngest son who lives in Hungary, a car hit me in the back and broke one of my red reflectors on the bumper.
I asked the price for a replacement at my dealer, and the cost was 19.40 euro (including VAT) for one piece, without mounting. I did not order it.

Some days ago I made a picture of it, measured it and googled it.
I found a website in The Netherlands where I could buy it for 4.80 euro (including VAT).
I bought 2, and had to pay 18.54 euro shipping included.

Mounting was straightforward: removing the old one (fitted with adhesive tape), cleaning the bumper with water and alcohol, and placing the new reflector.View attachment 7837569
And "klaar is Kees" like the Dutch say!
Here you have the reference of the manufacturer:
Hella Reflector red, 6416386910309, 8RA342014157, 8RA 342 014-157 | Fixation: adhesive tape | Height: 27 mm | Length: 91.8 mm | Thickness: 6.3 mm | ECE-norm: E17 402 | Norm: E1
It is a standard part, not Ineos branded, therefore also used on other rolling equipment, I think some vans, trailers, etc.Was the part Ineos branded?
