Maybe a spring or dowel pin that had been over pinched before installing?

A decent hardware store should have a correct replacement ~ or an opportunity to upgrade to stainless steel 😉

Maybe stuff like this, appropriately titled should be going in the technical /maintenance section? It's good info & photos that tends to get lost in general threads and then is impossible to find again at a later date.

So, yesterday I showed to my son the water draining caps in the floor and suddenly all the pieces fell apart. A small axle fell somewhere, probably in the grass. I tried to “fish” it with a strong magnet, with 4 eyes, to avail!

Then I took out the other cap at the drivers’ side, to see how that axle looked, and saw this some hollow metallic piece, probably aluminium.

Therefore I had to do my first repair: I replaced the axle by a nail!

The larger the grommet, the harder it is to keep it in place. I don't really think of grommets as removeable, in the sense these drain plugs are designed to be on, possibly on a frequent basis.

Thanks for the reply, I will try with an USB stick.

@Jean Mercier ...it may not only be the music file format, but also the format of the storage medium: The HDD in the iPod has most probably been formatted FAT32, not NTFS . The iPod HDD also has a max size probably of 128 or 256Gb. The Ineos audio system isn't the top of the range :( (otherwise they wouldn't offer a "premium"system in the USA spec)...many systems in this category are capped in their ability to read file storage media greater than 256Gb and require a FAT32 format.
So... check the USB is FAT32 format and 256Gb or less total capacity... ;)

PS glad you arrived safely in Hungary! enjoy your visit!(y)

I already could solve the problem, but posted my solution in a new thread yesterday: "Connecting a USB-A stick or drive to the infotainment screen"
But thanks for the suggestions. (y)

You are right, I have posted it again with some text editing in the technical section.

Today I got a WhatsApp message that my car is ready to collect. Three hours later (2 1/2 hours to drive) I arrived at my dealer. He hadn’t time to wash the car which is totally ok, as I took him more or less in surprise 😀
The car is great and drives like a dream. Some minor vibration at around 120 km/h
Consumption was about 10,8 litres/100 km.
Rural roads and a few km of Autobahn (mostly around 120 km/h)
The driving feels like watching a movie about someone is driving. Very relaxed!

Mostly collected labels shedding from the vehicle like autumn leaves...

Do the WEEE Directives apply to vehicle manufacturers here?

I think we need a thread and a map like Ineos have for customers, for all the labels and all the countries involved in Grenadier production?

As requested! Diesel magic mushroom 5 seat utility. No photo does this colour justice IMHO. It's so multilayered, going from brown, to grey to sandy depending on the light.

Looks awesome. If I do end up getting a Gren (jury is out) i will probably go with magic mushroom as well. And likely get some red accent wraps just like IA had in many of the promo pics.
