I have started to dismantle the trim in the footwell and the boot. I will install Deutsch sockets that I can then switch with the switches on the ceiling. In this context I have ordered Deutsch plugs and sockets and a suitable crimping tool. Now I have to wait a few more days until everything is there.

Respekt. Nach Erfahrung mit einem Autokabelbrand bin ich sehr zurückhaltend geworden. Habe auch keine Lust das die Gremlins nachher darauf geschoben werden das etwas verändert wurde. Vielleicht besuche ich Dich mal wenn mein Auto endlich mal ausgeliefert werden wird. Grüße Barney
Sorry wrong language: Respect. After experience with a car cable fire, I became very reserved. I also don't want the Gremlins to be pushed afterwards that something has been changed. Maybe I'll visit you when my car will finally be delivered. Greetings, Barney

If I was having a second bite at the cherry, it would have been MM with black roof, black windows and red chassis or DG as elected.

And likely get some red accent wraps just like IA had in many of the promo pics.

I agree that this would look good. But sadly, in Germany it is smarter to stay low profile.

Too many idiots.

Sorry for language mess-up ...

That is sad, but I fear the world is being populated by ever more idiots. I fear for our off spring in this crazy world.

Loving the steep increase in real life reviews of the Gren on YT. Honest, non-pr reviews. Positive

Finally got the Greny back. More photos to follow

"back"?

Jean Mercier · May 25, 2023

Yesterday (again

) I drove through Hungary from my son's place close to Budapest to a city close to the

border. Took a boat

to cross the Danube although this wasn't needed, but I love that boat crossing, probably the tenth time I do this.

It had rained quite a lot the previous night.
So, let's speak about the problems:

Power steering error several times
Small water infiltration at the front air vent, left side, like mentioned previously
And then, after a hard break, a quite serious water splash on the dashboard between the steering wheel and infotainment screen, probably coming from the safari window.
I tried to use "Here we go" as navigation tool, because it has the option "shortest way", what sometimes means "worst track". I tried both versions, the old one and the beta version, but for some reason the GPS position goes mad. I tried several settings, to no avail. This is probably not due to the Grenadier. I bought an air ventilation grille mount for my phone, and will drive today "old fashioned " in Austria.
I will also have to watch some clipping components of coolant hoses, somehow concerned.
I also slipped the steering column joint rubber boot further down, alike @DCPU.

Will now pack my stuff, was completely alone in a very crowded 🏕, one million mosquitoes

and me:

Which ones?

Jean Mercier · May 25, 2023

I guess that this metal pipe running parallel with the front bumper is also cooling liquid, look at the yellow marks, there are clips there. It ends in a rubber tube at the left side (staying in front of the car), that's why I think it is cooling liquid (I am no a car mechanic). I am also concerned about the thick rubber coolant hose: too loose in my opinion, but it is perhaps this one from which the removed the clips before delivery (I didn't check)

You mean actually water on the inside of the car? Running down the windshield?
I didn’t order the safari windows because I don’t like the one in my LR110,
but that was only condensation dripping in winter.
Water ingress in the dashboard will cause real problems.

p.s. I hope you didn’t break to much after your hard brake.

1. What/where is this front air vent?
2. Was the safari window open and the water off the roof spilled over the opening when you braked hard?

@nd · May 25, 2023

Hi all here are a few of the photos of a work in progress, managed to beat the big names in automotive enhancement to the punch.
The load cover is very much a prototype but does the job.
I blacked out the front and back rock guard under the bumpers and painted the tow eyes red to match the seatbelts.
Found the tow bar 2” inch drop plate and rear steps to help us olduns in and out of the back.
The wheels are on and the tyres are black side out.
With the interior I wanted it to be subtle so only matched the seats centre to the steering wheel and changed the seatbelts.

Not sure what to say really.
As long as you like it. The beauty of the product is that it has been designed for us all to add our signature as we wish. Hope yours is bringing the joy that mine is bringing to me.

Are they the stock seats with inlays? Were they leather to start with? Looks snazzy.

1. I'll make a picture next time
2. That's a good question, I am almost sure it was closed, but you make me doubt
