What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Was that a steelie or alloy? Had your spare been loosen at any time prior, or were you able to remove that from factory fitting. In ask because I keep meaning to loosen my spare from factory fit, it's just I keep forgetting. Must put a "post it" on the house back door 🚪.
Does your dealer not rotate all 5 wheels during a service?

Good question, it had it's first service 8 months ago, but now you mention it the spare wheel 🛞 cover was slightly off horizontal. Another " post it" on the back door, check the spare tyre tread wear. While I'm at it I'll slacken off the retaining nuts.
 
Not exactly "with" my Grenadier ...

Decided to paint match the headlight surrounds. Bought a set of surrounds from Ebay - they are also now available from Amazon - $139. They come in black. Sanded them down, sprayed them with primer, painted them with matching Donney Gray and then finalized them with coats of clear coat. The Donney Gray came with a can of clear coat, but it wasn't enough to match the clear coat of the vehicle. Second can did the trick.

I have mine done, I think it makes the front.
 
Mine had its 36,000 mile service today at the cost of £769.07, the biggest chunk being labour, (2.5 hours) and next biggest, a £119.42 + 20% VAT fuel filter.

There is a list of small stuff still to do, replace the door buttons, replace a failed washer jet and replace a leaking front prop shaft seal. They will have to wait until Chandlers have the bits, the tech time and a courtesy car.

Had a KGM Torres with 13k on the clock to drive home and back. 1.5 petrol engine with all of the ADAS gizmos and adaptive cruise. Around £40k and not a particularly pleasent drive - I'm not a fan of lane keeping assist as it acts more like a drunken passenger grabbing the wheel. Adaptive cruise was OK, but either I want full control, or it can have full control and I'll have a snooze - the current part-way house is a scary nightmare; it kept telling me that adaptive steer was disengaged, usually when the white lines got a bit faint.
