I think you have explained it well and I have had many errors showing, to the point of not being able to take the Gren on our last trip just returned from the Central Coast. A shame as it was going to be its first and our adventure through the back roads...back to the errors...engine...gearbox...uphill downhill assist...stability control...ABS...it's Thursday two weeks ago and we're to leave on the weekend...not going happen so left the vehicle with our agent and all sorted by Tuesday a week ago and picked her up Tuesday gone...on Wednesday I received a call from Rick the agent's service manager to tell me that the transfer case is to be replaced...he was ringing to say don't drive in low range and we will let you know when it arrives.
Was yours an early build? Mine was on batch and hold since late January/early Feb and arrived about 4 weeks ago - under 1000vin. It has the replaced transfer case in it with serial ending in the letter B indicating the replacement and as confirmed by the dealer. I thought all the early Aus built vehicles being held for so long for Q.A.... had the TC replaced but obviously not. Do you know if your TC serial ended with the letter 'B'?I think you have explained it well and I have had many errors showing, to the point of not being able to take the Gren on our last trip just returned from the Central Coast.

What did I get from the whole experience?
They gave me a car while they did their best to right the situation but what Ineos had sent didn't fix it and Ineos suggested that if we were taking a long trip it was not advisable...running around short distances well OK...the rear door table arrived and fitted...all good,
With the transfer case, they must have had a batch with an issue...because Rick should that my number had shown up...no not a raffle...but in that batch of vehicles...I take a positive position and think that Ineos is on the case[pardon the pun]and feel confident that my vehicle is their responsibility as much as mine...if not more because we are their promoters...very happy motoring.
It would be different if I was buying this vehicle for my business and I wonder if that is why the DCPU is coming now...sort the bugs out for the tradies...but I would have waited if it was to be for my business and that would have been hard...happy days
No idea of the T case no and how do you determine under 1000vin?...if it is the last 4 digits I am double that but the timing of the vehicle...build and delivery are almost spot on...
Yes, last 4 of the vin number. On delivery I popped under and took a look at the TC serial then asked the dealer who confirmed it had been changed out prior to shipping. Guess would have been concerned if it didn't have the upgraded TC being such an early build.No idea of the T case no and how do you determine under 1000vin?...if it is the last 4 digits I am double that but the timing of the vehicle...build and delivery are almost spot on...
Just check that there is nothing in the cuddy box rattling round that might have shorted the USB outlets. Highly unlikely but worth checking
As long as we all don't know how exactly these "SOC" figures are derived, we're probably better off if we just ignore them. In the case of @PBD I assume they have installed a (relatively...) new & full battery, and, most importantly, have reset the the SOC-status. Something that should be possible by the user in such a vehicle. As long as we as the users don't have access to a decent diagnostic tool and a complete workshop manual, it all remains speculation.Brilliant mate. That’s real encouraging
!!
Yes they fitted a new main battery and it is working fine as is the rest of the car nowAs long as we all don't know how exactly these "SOC" figures are derived, we're probably better off if we just ignore them.

It is hard enough to determine the SOC of a lead acid battery even with advanced methods, (EDIT: Google "soc determination of lead acid batteries") I strongly doubt that INEOS have implemented something appropriate (Please, INEOS: Prove me wrong anytime by sharing detailed information!!). A displayed 1% resolution is also, let's say, optimistic...
_If_ something like Coloumb-counting would be implemented (there seem to be current measurement devices present at the battery poles, irritatingly 2 of them at the starter battery, in both + and -), when charging the battery with an external charger when ignition is off does not change SOC figures, since the charge cannot be measured & accumulated.
I would really appreciate more information.
Have ~5000kms now, no SW update, and every km proves that the decision to buy that toy was _absolutely_right_
Hi, I had the software update done on Monday and the car is now absolutely perfect. Remember when you take your car to dealer to bring both keys .

I think he put the front end on that it has because more people want it to look that way than like an SUV.Hi, I had the software update done on Monday and the car is now absolutely perfect. Remember when you take your car to dealer to bring both keys .
God I love this car, tge more I drive it the more I love it. Makes my 2018 G wagon W463 feel like like an old Defender
The grenadier is soooo much better than the G wagon in steering / suspension / engine , cabin environment . It’s gonna be a car I will be keeping for a considerable amount of time . I get why Sir Jim stuck the defender looking front end on it but this is so far away from them . He should have stuck a land cruiser type nose on it, its build quality will prove in years to come tgat it’s more LC than LR .
I’ve said it before but if Magna Styer were left to design the G (W463) replacement then the Grenadier is damn close to what the Merc would have been .
Even with the price hikes it still stacks up against over prices Merc G & Landrover /RR.
Thanks again Ineos , now go and kick start the Hydrogen revolution .
Had this all the time before the SW update and always ignored it. Haven't seen it any more since update.
I got my grenadier yesterday and as soon as I left the dealers lot, this warning came on, it’s the warning light on the screen of the rear split door with a bong and the rear seat lights and third row lights go on. Swift flash appears and disappears on the screen.
I leave all unused seatbelts locked into their respective receiver. Rear door sensor hasn't been an issue so far.
yeah - I heard of that one!What podcast? I know a really crappy one that’s sometimes about Grenadiers you might be interested in.
