What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[emax]

i worked it out to about 33mpg

And you're sure you didn't mess up with imperial and us gallons?


PS: I just see that my fuel gauges below now show l/100 km and mpg correctly.
The didn't before. Software is magic.

Drove to two "distant" cities today for assignments. Apart from the usual software faults that I can eliminate by putting the contact on and off, nothing special to mention.
But tonight, while driving to my judo training I got this, for the first time, I repeat, WHILE DRIVING!:

See the left side (Right Hand Driving car), no information anymore about, speed, gear, distance, etc. All gone, black screen.
Even turning contact on and off again didn't work.

But after my training, and two beers with the friends, everything OK again.
I am really tired of all these software glitches, it removes quite some "happy driving" feeling.
Also tired of the judo training

This is not good, but if it displays waze app still on carplay it will
Display GPS speed.

If you used Google to calculate it uses US gallons.

For the speedometer to disappear is a serious malfunction. IA need to get cracking with their software update pronto. Yesterday our odometer read --:-- for the whole trip along with red airbag malfunction. Getting fed up with it now.

Would the compressor fit in this gap? Is there more headroom underneath?

Could overheat & reduce the duty cycle with poor ventilation in that spot.

Are you not getting the back door error yet??

A single ARB compressor will

 

[MrMike]

Indeed they are.


This one?

That would be my guess.

In mine this would align with a 350A feed off the auxiliary battery, via the 2nd (5 way) Littelfuse box that I've traced disappearing to the lower front of the pictured wheel arch.

Any close ups of what's in the blue square? I'm assuming it's some form of "software" controlled relay/solenoid; and the one that's currently not working? And once again an unprotected high amp terminal ~ have rubber caps/boots gone out of fashion?

That looks like a dual pole terminal block, The earth is wired to the chassis by the looks

I've had most of them so far - except back door error. They generally get worse after lots of short trips when the battery falls below 90%

Reading 8,1 l / 100 miles is obviously more like 13,0 l / 100 km. Sounds realistic.
Seems to be then like 21.7 mpg(UK).

Sure about this calculation?

No, you are right, I messed it up. However 8,1 l / 100 mi (161 km) is odd. Would be 4,9 l / 100 km.

Perhaps this Grenadier was in neutral and rolling downhill.

maybe 8,1 l / 100 km (although the display say mi)? this could well be, although way better than I had hoped. let's be optimistic

 

[Paco Garcia]

The computer is measuring in the wrong way, but in the calculation of the application in the photo above, it is being measured by US gallons, not by imperial gallons, in the case of imperial mpg it would be 9.72 liters / 100 km, which is not there either. nothing bad,

 

[Sebastian]

last holiday trip through Belgium/Netherlands our X3 with the B57 took 6,7 l / 100 km carrying a roofbox and avg. speed of maybe 110 km/h (same speed as @nd in the G), so below 10 l / 100 km in the G seem doable.

 

[Krabby]

No, you are right, I messed it up. However 8,1 l / 100 mi (161 km) is odd. Would be 4,9 l / 100 km.

Things would be so much easier if the entire world used the same units of measure.

I spent a few more hours
