So where are all the first impressions? (right here)

Beormund · Jun 13, 2023

Should I be concerned? These marks have appeared on our drive where we park the Grenadier (engine bay). Could it be related to the A/C not working?

Also, we are nonplussed how we missed this dent above the front passenger window. No idea if it was there on handover or if it has happened under our ownership but such an odd place! No chip or scratch that I can see just an indentation.

Just take it back to the supplying agent and tell them of your dissatisfaction.

I would stick some cardboard or newspaper under after a run and hopefully that will give you an idea of the fluid(s) involved. Easier to distinguish etc. Air con overflow would be more likely in the one place and more than drips???

i had a few liquid spots under the car at the weekend. I thought it was oil, but it was water, it evaporated like rain does on the paving. its parked in the shed usually and there’s nowt underneath then.. I think it is a/c related.

Place white paper under what colour is the drip?

The indentation does not remind me of anything you may have caused. I think it's worth mentioning to the dealership. Did you take any pic's on collecting the vehicle? The same mark may have been caught but you didn't see it at the time.

That def looks like an oil or a lubricant.

All these Grenadiers that are now on the road and hardly a few words put together describing first impressions. Photographs are all very well but we want to hear how it makes one feel. What is ones impressions compared to recent journalistic reviews. We are hanging on every word but unfortunately, no words are coming through.

It makes me feel like the king of the world… and that is all that matters! @kenyangrenadier on YouTube to see, first hand, just how love struck I am!

Thank you, much appreciated! Never done this social media stuff before but thoroughly enjoying myself! Appreciate the support very much

Videos are great brother! Well done on the Black Sheep visit … added a lot of context for those of us who were unfamiliar with the shop.

Latest from my Grenadier Agent orange, 3 weeks of ownership

Ineos say talk to Jardine's, Jardine's will talk to Ineos, anyone have any idea how issues like this are resolved.

Currently have a case reference for the missing kit.

Still a good ride and great fun

I don't like the steering wheel moving to the right, independent of the front wheels.

Good idea to clearly document. That gives a very clear picture what's wrong/when etc

I think DCPU has the same issue regarding the bodywork gap on headlight to wing cowls. Concerning.

Can it be tightened? Will check mine in a bit.

Trialmaster · Jun 13, 2023

Here's mine - it is quite flexible.

That would be a deal breaker for me.
I live in the desert and well working A/C is a must.

I agree - I'm in Socal and drive in back country in the Mojave - A/C is survival
