Yes I have seen it. But again I have to ask myself why do you want to risk a brand new vehicle like that. After a few more vehicles go through there then the front end will be caved in. Madness

"I need to take my Grenny in, the parking sensors are all wonky" -

Next viral video - Damn INEOS can't even get parking sensors to work. Do not buy this junk.

Looking at that video. It’s a wonder the airbags aren’t triggered. Does anyone know if the airbags are disabled in off road mode. I can’t remember seeing that they are.

Good thing the engine oil pickup tube is plumbed all the way through to the headlights as that’s about where all the oil ended up.

 

[Karearea]

I see absolutely zero sense in doing that with a Grenadier, which in my personal opinion is NOT in any way designed for or expected to handle that kind of idiocy!
Especially when it’s a seemingly conscious decision to go there!
Maybe he’d had too many Fosters
One thing that video did show me is the reason why people install wolf box cameras …..
EGO

Saw this...

I thought that the sorry saga was over. Then these chaps come along trying to get some more clicks.

yeah, but they are trying to sell a solution and do so by setting the record straight.

 

[Logsplitter]

Fair point. Would be great though if John Canny set the record straight

If I were John, well I am, but a different one, I'd be keeping my head down for a while - but I agree with you.

We got to get through the US and Euro video editorials and the usual Aussie reviews yet. With two water related incidents reported on in the last week this topic going to be getting creators views and revenue for some time.

Is Gunshot a gazetted road? Asking for a friend.

Wasn't the second one on CSR tied to getting stuck in mud and water at around 700mm. That water never got in engine but because it sat in water for 4 days, it's consider a goner?

Here’s a Grenadier crossing some fast flowing water in Oman

From the Ineos statement.
Going back to, Bullet point two.

The vehicle's air intake accidentally submerged...
obviously the insurance company understand it but try telling that to dad when you drown his new Gren

The vehicle was the only one without a RAI...
well that's the problem son.

That's is not a good feeling, the back end floats and you are now right hand down to stay on track...happened to me in the Daintree Nth Queensland but was not flowing that fast

Yes that would be unnerving
I got towed across a flooded tributary of the Luangwa River many years ago. I was in my friends series 3 Landrover with no snorkel. I was towed across by a landcruiser with doors taken off and improvised raised air intake. The water was above the seat base and just flowed through the vehicle as it drove through. I floated in the Landrover. It was a 2-1/4 petrol engine and we wrapped all important bits up in plastic before the crossing. I can attest that floating is unnerving even when being towed!
I’ve found a picture before we fashioned the raised air intake for the Landcruiser. Landrover behind.
Bloody hell I look young there Makes me realise how I’ve aged
