If you're disconnecting steering parts before continuing to drive, you definitely want to be sure you have the right thing.
It's easy to see, it presents itself on the R/H drive models

Agree that we don’t know. I don’t think the seized steering is due to the damper, just that the damper will make steering harder if the electric assistance fails. And yes, there is real danger if steering fails at speed, not suggesting this is a good thing, but the original discussion is what would you do out in the bush is this issue occurred and by removing the damper a good chance you can get back to somewhere you can seek proper help. More air in the front tyres also probably helps a bit, over inflate them.
Not sure what you mean by limp mode? Have not seen any discussion that it was in limp mode, just that steering assistance failed.Yes, but unfortunately won't solve the limp mode issue on the road, but I do understand what you're saying
My 69 e-type has no power steering and a relatively large wheel. When I bought it it had wider tyres on it and it was very hard to steer but changed back to original size and much better, but it is still a bit of a workout at low speeds.
I’d be very surprised if the guy in the flash Mercedes with number plate —-WAX who was so dismissive of the Grenadier telling me it’s a kit car as it was being unloaded doesn’t post somewhere on social media as he was taking lots of pictures and generally taking the piss .
My Grenadier certainly hasn’t gone onto limp mode at any point.
My vehicle didn’t go into limp mode just no power steering
I would like to add that one Gateway control module was replaced as this was thought to be the cause of the problems when the failure happened the second time. This was thought to be the solution by reading error codes and checking everything thoroughly as when at the dealership the first and second time the power steering worked ok and despite various test drives didn’t throw a fault again. This time however the steering still has the fault when arriving at the dealers and one of the Harwoods guys tried to park it after unloading and can attest that the problem exists and is in fact still there.
I mentioned your power steering failure to one of the Ineos guys here at the 4x4 show in Sydney today, he was quite surprised to say the least! Hopefully it gets the problem on their radar and they can keep an eye out for it.
Let’s hope so.
What fault are we talking of here. Certainly nothing to do with me or the power steering fault
Apologies, must have confused it with something else..sorry. will deleteWhat fault are we talking of here. Certainly nothing to do with me or the power steering fault
Excellent!Yes but what else could/would you buy now that's hasn't got the same risk. The 76 was the only other contender I did the sums on but a bung knee drew me to the auto in the Gren. The 76 budget came up to $115k which included, Recaros, bullbar etc, rear axle kit & castor work after a lift.
An owner has just completed 3000ks on an Anne Beadell trip (the corrugations are pure evil) & another has done 10,000k towing including offroad. Standard bings & bongs but nothing that bought them to a halt. Encouraging.
I think you can now, have a look on the IA configuator for the updated specs and accessories
Yes the 3/4 is listed now.
Yes electric pump. I’m no mechanic so I don’t really understand this stuff only what i have learnt on the internet. To be quite honest I haven’t tried turning the steering whilst engine is not running and it’s at the dealers now so can’t try.
