Hi all,
Yesterday I had a 90 minute call with Tom Johnson and Steve Graham of Ineos. Re these clips, I was told that a number of clips and hoses were wrong or missing and needed to be rectified, also my car needs a new Transfer Box as mine is out of spec.
Updates to the computer system are looking like August and it is possible that it will be in two instalments and at dealer location only.
Steve was not aware that the oil level check that is performed by the computer fait to complete its cycle to give a reading.
Steve has been with Ineos for five years and he has been the driving force behind the availability of workshop manuals etc to us all. They are with all the dealers and in the not too distant future will be made available to all, however it will be on a pay per view format with probably a 7 day access as the shortest time period. Parts and spares will be available only through dealers in the first two years.
13 pin plug modifications are being examined by Ineos but not in the near future, (I have already replaced mine).
Ineos have notified DVLA of all the vehicles that were incorrectly as Fieldmaster or Trialmaster Delay is with DVLA now for replacement V5.
As regards to my car, when all is ready, it will go in and every thing required will be done in one go. ( that may take some time)!
My main thoughts after this lengthy call are that these guys are are very supportive of us "early adopters" as they call us, guinea pigs is what I called us! Ineos will solve the problems on the early vehicles and delivery systems as a priority because they know that we are the best supporters and advertisers they have and it is the right thing to do. Jim Ratcliffe is of the same opinion and is aware of the situation.
I love driving and using my Trialmaster and am confident now, that it will be brought up to the spec it should have been at delivery and in the near future.
