I would agree - we should expect production improvements and problems eliminated as the assembly knowledge improves.
That's not a tyre iron...All 'proper' DIY self taught Land Rover experts will recognise it as a Lucas slow blow fuse!
Lucky that didn't bounce across both terminals and blow the battery apart.
Yes it's cheap insurance against an unwanted welding experience...or worse!
Yet again, you are looking at a couple of things I have recently thought I need to familiarise myself with. I was wondering if I disconnected the battery and left it disconnected overnight. Might it address some of the false alarms I get on the screen. To do so would follow the normal IT fault finding routine of 'Shut down and restart'. Any thoughts?
I don't think it would, but that's a pure guess based on a little Internet reading and a new pet theory that it's "babbling idiot" theory:
Looks like a 75k vehicle to me lolz
GrahamI posted this on the wrong area earlier this evening only realising when I found this thread. It'd a tad disheartening I haven't looked at any of the mechanical so far. I need to look under the bonnet and check the mechanicals for sure.
For my two penny worth
Picked up my Diesel last week, plagued with electrical issues, display remains on when ignition is switched off, as do the lights and radio on occasion, remedy lock the vehicle and in 5 - 10 minutes the ECU's power down and they shut off. Programming screen has been painful as has been suffering from screen lag and nothing works or sets the memory. Radio doesn't like saving pre-set stations. Fuel gauge was showing full on pick up, which was pleasantly surprised, it didn't last long, drove 100 miles it still displayed full???? stopped to top up tank to double check the reading, it took 34 litres/ 7.5 gallons needless to say it's still full.
The drivers door requires a very hard slam to close against the rubber seal the other three doors are fine as are the rear doors, the explanation given the rubber being stiffer on that door. Being "stiffer" it will improve with use, that didn't ring true being ex motor trade from 30 years back. This was on pick up day, as there were three other Gren's on site all three had the same issue with the drivers door. Not to worrying in itself if it's adjustable. What concerns me all "Three" with the wrong adjustment at the same agent on the same time they couldn't have been consecutive vehicles of the production line??? Different colours also.
To day, I had a closer look at the gutters as I have been researching roof racks and I'm not 100% with the Rhino offering until I have some confirmation with the gutter fitment. Observations by others and on my vehicle they can be flexed by hand as they are 40mm, 1 1/2" wide, so any design I spend my hard earned money on will need to be supported inboard close to the body/roof join and the clamp design will need to grip on that area not on the outer edge of the gutter as I have seen on some offerings. Now to the point of my discourse , both of my gutters are as straight as 30 year old railway tracks. I will attempt to upload pictures.

I must have gotten the LHD door seal kit on mine then ~ it's the front passenger door that has the issue on mine.
Wait till they give you the same excuse as on the railways ~ it's just the excessive summer heat and global warming causing the issue:
Sadly this made me chuckle. G
The day some green kid, fresh out of college and not a hair on his sack yet, said they could save this nonsense to improve quarterly earnings.
Today at my dealer I mentioned for the second time my door knob problem. The first time they told me to put some lubricating spray on it
as if I didn't know this is temporary. But I did it.
Hi @Jean Mercier since I am now here in the country of origin of the Grenadier, I also have the same phenomenon.Today at my dealer I mentioned for the second time my door knob problem. The first time they told me to put some lubricating spray on it
But apparently, this is an "Ineos known" design problem and they have some rubber rings to solve the problem.
Haha, I know how to "play with my fingers",Hi @Jean Mercier since I am now here in the country of origin of the Grenadier, I also have the same phenomenon.
You just have to play around with it a bit with your fingers and the button comes out again.
Ineos does not solve this problem for us. We have to do it ourselves. It's just a question of who is the faster of us two.
much faster indeed than lubricating. But I would prefer a "final solution", and Hedin told me they have the rings!
Ok. Then please let me know what Hedin did. I am curious.Haha, I know how to "play with my fingers",
