I have just returned from a cross-Australia trip in my diesel Grenadier Trialmaster. I race radio controlled yachts as a sport/hobby and wanted to attend the 2024 World Championships for the International One Meter Class (IOM) being held in Gladstone (Qld) during October (I am not fast enough to...

Good morning all! Seeing a fair wack of misinformation starting to creep in regarding GVM and axle ratings to the Grenadier. Unfortunately, a lot appears to be originating at dealers. There are two common methods for changes made to vehicles in Australia. Post-Registration modifications will...

Just saw this reshared on LinkedIn by Norweld, looks like INEOS have partnered with JMACX for GVM upgrades & aftermarket suspension kits for the Grenadier & Quartermaster!

We modified the Grenadier by putting an Anderson plug on the back and puting a CB radio in before we did a LOT of dirt. the Grenadier performed flawless and was able to get a LOT of footage.. so now i have to put the videos together and maybe organise a night in a cinema in Brisbane.. so far I...

Hi Everyone new to the Forum from Brisbane Queensland Australia (Oct 2022 Build Grenadier)

A new Fieldmaster owner! Looking for where is best to get accessories in Oz

Hi everyone, my name is Finn, I have had my Grenadier Trialmaster for 5 weeks and have already done 6000Kms and am building it to do a lap of Australia. If anyone is from Australia or knows anything about it here, you would know the climate is tough as nails and the terrain just as bad. I will...

Any Sydney forum members know the story on this vehicle? That won't buff out...

Hi all, my name is Tom and I live in Brisbane, Australia. I will be picking up my Magic Mushroom Fieldmaster Grenadier in about a week which I am looking forward to. Other than the usual factory options I have installed a GVM upgrade/lift kit and Method 703 rims and Mickey Thompson 295, 70R17...

I have often posted about XHQ. Here is a video guide through their showroom, with lots of INEOS goodies. They are the new LeTech dealer in Australia. Warwick is doing the presentation, but Ric is in charge of the INEOS side of the business. Adam helps run the online store. The other part of the...

Greetings All, We just picked up our MY24 Diesel Fieldmaster Stationwagan (Scottish White w/ Black roof). It has the additional rough pack (front+rear diffs, and BFG K02's), high load auxiliary panel, roo hoops, & checker plate, as options. Pretty happy with the first impressions. The workshop...

I had a great time on Sunday with Andrew from Adrenalin Off-road Centre and my good friend Bill Twyman, on a trip from Sunny Corner to Capertee via Williwa Creek, Pinnacle Fire Trail and Turon National Park. The Grenadier made the tracks look easy, but just so you know, a lifted 105 Series...

Hiyas, I'm wondering whether there is a Sydney Chapter, club, get together of Gren owners? Am looking to join some drives and adventures, and get some confidence, so I can head down many of these dirt roads way out west NSW and QLD. -bec

If anyone's looking for a 4WD training course near Sydney, I’d thoroughly recommend Getabout Training Services at Lithgow. I'd previously completed their one day Basic 4WD course which gives you an “Operate 4WD Vehicle on Unsealed Roads” qualification, and last week I completed their two day...

I've just found a video of a group driving across the Simpson Desert in central Australia, from West to East in June 2024. They made it to Birdsville just before the Big Red Bash. Although this isn't filmed by a Grenadier owner, it does prominently feature a Gren doing the crossing with ease...

G’Day - prospective owner from WA here working out various things. Have owned P38 (I reckon that car was in palliative care….) and a few Prados with lifts etc and looking for the car to do more touring (no caravan) when I retire in about 3 years. The corrugations and the impact that has on...

Hi guys and gals, I’m going to be selling my Trialmaster in Magic Mushroom soon. I’m 6’6 and just cannot get comfortable in the cabin. Before I list it on selling sites, I thought I’d reach out here if anybody is interested. I’m based in Melbourne, Australia. Please get in touch if you’d like...

Stole pics off of Australia Grenadier Facebook. Looks really well done. I apologize, Micheal if your on here. It's to good to keep to yourself.

I have just returned from a trip to the Kimberley region of Western Australia in my diesel Grenadier Trialmaster, towing a 16ft hybrid off-road pop top caravan (tare weight 2000kg, loaded weight about 2400kg, tow ball weight approx 230kg). Covered 8500km in 31 days: Perth to Kununurra (for the...

I was on duty yesterday, and the radio was quiet, so we (inevitably) began discussing the impending delivery of my Gren. I've been torn this past week over whether to just drive back home the easiest way, or do a bit of a detour. As I'm taking delivery of the vehicle from SLRV/Expedition HQ...

I am a retired mechanical engineer living in Perth WA. I first saw the Grenadier at a camping show last year and its interior, exterior and specification impressed me. Having lived in the Pilbara in the 80s I have watched the growth of 4WDs with interest but apart from the GQ Patrol I owned for...

Hi, Had a search but couldn't find any other relevant posts/threads but if there are please point me towards them! Just got a quote for my 1Y/15,000KM service, $1300+ (couldn't provided a fixed amount)! For reference a 70 series Landcruiser (similar design/use) is $425 while a 300 series...

There is a lot of garbage unfair reviews out there from people that don’t own a Grenadier, only drove them for a day, and that try to find issues to make their reviews more interesting. Ok, here is an honest review you can rely on, also to the FN point! The Ineos Grenadier Fieldmaster with...

Was at my local dealer up in Cairns, FNQ and had a test drive of the wagon. They only had the petrol version, but it was nice. I want to drive and see the Quartermaster in the TDI version. The dealer told me they have some in Melbourne being signed off by the Govt. There should be one up...

Anyone in Australia had the full software update yet? Not just the head unit. Mine booked in next week but keen to hear what people’s experiences have been with the full deal Completed.

I collected my donny grey TM diesel in July 2023 to replace my old 2016 defender 90 (i still miss it dearly). I spec'd it without the sunroofs as i have a roof rack, and without the bar/winch as I'd prefer to see what comes up aftermarket. Over the last few months I've been busy learning about...

Having side steps manufactured in Australia, using all 3 mount points. Black powder coated finish similar to front steel bumper. Mounted under door sill in similar position to rock sliders and will protrude outwards to width of tyre. Will post pics when completed.

Cargo Barrier - Help Wanted Please - I tried to move the cargo barrier to the position behind the front row of seats rather than the back row which is how it is delivered. It won't fit. The dealer is telling me that it is not intended to be there. However, there are the same mounting points on...

There has been issues around sourcing an Australian towing mount (aka towing tongue) compatible with the INEOS Grenadier. John Canny in a recent video describes his solution from Allin Towbar, a family run company based in South Australia. I have ordered one. The INEOS towing mount is not on...

Hello all. I received my Grenadier in Oct and anxiously awaiting the software upgrade. So far I am loving the vehicle, despite a few little teething problems such as leaks in the footwell, however responses to these have been excellent and the support has been very good. I'm also a newbie to...

For Australian owners, KAON is coming back on board in 2024 to develop products for the INEOS. They have been No, then Yes, then No (after the new Prado was announced) and now Yes again. Updated via Ben Neville from Aussie FB page. They will develop a rear roof shelf, side molle panels and a...

Thanks for allowing me to join the forum. I am looking to but a new vehicle and gathering information on the Grenadiers. The model that appears to suit me is the Utility Wagon, Trailmaster Edition.

Hi All, I picked up my diesel model back in late August and have been very happy with it. I've gone for the dark green and kitted it out as part of my initial order so it seems I'm one of the few with the picnic table built in. I've gone with the Roo bar in front, snorkel, rock sliders for added...

It pays to read the fine print. RACV and many other insurance companies offer a new vehicle replacement if your car is a total write off in the first two years (as does the RACV). I questioned this and confirmed that even thought the RACV is listing its Market Value at $109k that they would...

G’Day All, I thought I would never join another forum, but with the lack of real information on the Facebook pages…here I am. I’m looking forward to taking the beast off-road and modifying it a little more. I have already added the Eibach springs and Black Rhino Wheels, but have some sensor...

I just finished watching this again and thought I’d share it as something many here might enjoy. A mate of mine Norm Needham and a friend of his and their partners decided to do the Cape trip back in 1975 on the back of a recent trip by Mike and Mal Leyland, Aussie 4wd’ing pioneers. Another...

Hey All - We picked ours up last week. Only 200km in, and so far, so good. Current work is only cosmetic, Graphene Paint Protection, Interior Protection, and Ceramic Tinting. I also flipped the tires around so that the white writing is now on the inside.

Hello I’ve had my Grenadier for 3 weeks now and have taken it up via Fraser Isand up the Queensland coast. I’ve been very happy so far. The cabin noise is minimal, it behaves great on the highway and the steering is just fine. Off-roading has been exceptional. My biggest challenge was getting...

I like this one. The two guys are no longer the youngest and I would be happy to still experience such adventures when I am as old as they are. The passenger reminds me a little of Walter Matthau. ;) Or to put it simply: two very likeable guys and a relaxed ride. (y) If you're on the forum...

The side indicator mount fixed to the raised air intake was loose and half hanging out after my first 500km drive. Pushed it back in but the lugs are pretty crappy and not sure how long it’ll be before it’ll need duct tape eventually. I presume that’s the temporary 3-d printed version until...

Hi all Brisbane owners. Have been asking Custom Off Road if they are interested in developing bash plates for the Grenadier since INEOS don’t seem to be forthcoming. I have used Custom Off road before on other cars and they make good gear at reasonable prices. They need a vehicle to see if...

Hi Everyone, I’ve just joined up after being advised my Trialmaster Petrol is now in production with delivery date later this year. Not sure if it’s best to get roof rack and bar work done at factory or if after market is a better option. Keen for advice Thinking of keeping my old 2008 RR L322...

Hi, Great to see so much enthusiasm around the Grenadier. I ordered mine in July 22, so hopefully should see it before the end of 23. I currently have a GU Patrol with a 6Lt V8 and auto, I completed the conversion myself. I’ll be doing plenty of offroading and camping in the Grenadier once it...

Hi all, Great to see such exciting and enthusiastic global community growing around this great vehicle! Have joined a Grenadier group here in West Aus and met some great people already! I took delivery on Friday afternoon (4/8/23) and boy can I tell you it was worth the wait! Love it and...

Hey all, I’m in Adelaide, South Australia and am eagerly awaiting ANY update from IA on my order, that I placed almost a year ago in July 2022. Just wondering if anyone else has placed an order, received a contract or been notified by IA regarding shipping, delivery or handover of their vehicle...

Hi all, after reading this forum daily for almost a year now I decided it was about time I signed up. I have enjoyed all the content and especially images and real owners feedback, making my own wait that little bit easier. I like a lot of you have followed the grenadier story since the...

Hi Having ordered the car in October 2021, and following a contract mishap that took Ineos a good while to resolve, I have today received and signed the contract on a Donny Grey Fieldmaster. The good news is mine is already built and is just awaiting shipping down to Oz. I suspect I ticked...

Hey fellow grenadiers. It’s a hello from North Australia - previously was bumbling around NZ, and originally from Scotland. Old school land rover owner in past but looking forward to my Grenadier arriving - currently it’s on a boat going the very long way home from France to Oz. We’re already...

peter from Melbourne Australia. A good forum contains a wealth of knowledge, so i thought joining prior to purchasing a great idea. Currently have a nissan patrol Y61 coil cab chassis with Td42ti anome mods. I am thinking a solid axle wagon would suit out touring needs

The configurator is not adding the cost of accessories when I checkout. Trialmaster base price is $109k. I've added the roo bar, side runners, side rails, checker plate, MM, frt seat covers, rubber floor mats, cargo barrier, roof rails. By my math it should be up around $125k but showing $118k...

Got this email overnight about an event in Victoria, Australia. Sounds like a unique event with a bit of history behind it. Event Link: CLICK HERE

Recently discovered the forum so thought I'd repost this here. It's just a heads up for those towing a van. The towbar receiver on the IG (PT02043) is around 150-170mm deep and seems to taper. My Hayman Reese hitch only slides in far enough to utilise the first pin hole. It really needs to go...

I just came across this and thought it might interest people. I don't know if we have a similar thread elsewhere, but if we do, it can be moved. LINK

The roof rack accessories pricing is now up on the Australian INEOS website. As they are mostly Rhino Rack accessories the pricing is very competitive compared to third party stores in Oz. The ones I checked were cheaper on the INEOS website than third party providers. Look under Tab 04...

Cast your votes, but please keep to your respective location. Also let people know why, colour is a very personal thing and behind most decisions is a good story. So come on don't be shy.

Giday from Apsley Victoria Australia I have been a landrover nut for 40 years and ahe a couple of them ranging from a couple of series 2 ,a few disco 2 and a freelander 2 .

Can it replace the defender, well this chap tries to find out.

Firstly, we tried to find a random trailer to tow-test the Grenadier. The problem was the event staff outnumbered the Press at the global launch of the hot-topic 4WD so try as we might, no mischievous plan got us what we really need to know - how does it tow? So call this a vehicle review, not a...
