Finally got a grenadier

Normal operating temperature and engine speeds will keep the dpf clean.. low engine rev and not letting it heat up, will not. Your temperatures seem fine for a long run..

Finally picked up a ineos trail master after 2 years of pondering the idea of owning one. Absolutely love the thing. Collected it down near London and drove it all the way back up to Scotland.

I do have a few queries though

How often should I do a long run to allow the dpf to clean it's self ?

How hot is the gear box ment to get as mine was at 87 Celsius and the actual center console was getting warm, is this normal?View attachment 7877695

Congratulations on your Trialmaster purchase.
The DPF has a mind of it's own and will do a burn when you least expect it. ( late in the evening, public car park, anywhere it will frighten the s..t out of the public.)
That temperature is OK if you had a long motorway run from London to Scotland

On the dpf burn, most vehicles seem to require a 20 minute run at motorway speed on a monthly basis.
However, Ineos seem to have been a lot more clever than most. When it is ready to burn, it will just do it.
As above, accompanied by a very loud fan.

Ah awesome. I’m near Huntly and there are a few blokes in the Shire and the city.

G&L Marshall in Huntly are the only service dealer up here, they’ve been great for me so far, right beside the railway station too so pretty handy.

Ah cool I didn’t realise there was one in Dingwall, that’s good to know, I’ve got family up in Lairg and am there quite often.

G'Day Scottyboy - I just down the road from you between Huntly and Dufftown - one of the reasons that secured my purchase was G&L Marshall - they were kind enough to let look me at a Grenadier that they had in the workshop, and they are just down the road (ish)

Often thought about going back to Elgin (lived in New Elgin when in the RAF at Kinloss {late 70's - early 80's). Is Macrae & Dick still trading as a garage?
