Hi, Has anyone installed a suitable frost plug engine block heater for the B58 engine? I am concerned about reducing cold start engine wear. If you found one, what model did you use, what wattage is appropriate, how easy was it to install, etc. Something like this is what I had in mind:

Not sure how to describe this. Was driving around yesterday and when I’d come to a stop, it seemed like the engine would go into standby — similar to when you’re in an electric car and when it comes to a stop, it gets super quiet. Never had this happen before. Was tapping around the screen...

There's a siren noise that goes off every time I start the ignition. I imagine/hoping this is "normal." Does anyone know what the purpose of this is?

Hi All, I’m currently installing a UHF into our IG. The unit is installed behind the dash in the passenger (LH) foot well & the aerial is on the LH side of our bull bar. Because we have safari windows, we unfortunately don’t have the spare grommet available to pass through the fire wall as many...

All three topics have been discussed around the forum but is there really any hope for what I’m calling the “Trifecta of Annoyance” issues that these will be fixed anytime soon? I would prefer not to be clicked to death by nanny state speed warnings, or having to make pointless (hundred of...

Engine warning light after refueling, is there a permanent fix. It comes on after every refueling

What do you think of both the compressor (tjm pro single stage) and the mounting location? https://catunedoffroad.com/collections/ineos-grenadier/products/catuned-off-road-custom-grenadier-tjm-air-compressor-and-bracket I think I like the idea of getting the compressor out of the cabin. I'm not...

Hi, it looks like there is a vent in the cap on the oil check spot by the battery jump terminal on the right side front of the engine compartment- New (400 miles) gas and we have had it for two weeks. Oil seems to be leaking out there (maybe a few ounces?) Overfilled or normal?

On My Diesel engine at 7500 km during a long journey I got an orange engine warning error. This had the imeadiate effect of disabling the cruise control. I contacted dealer who advised I could still drive but should have it checked. Losing cruise control is a normal safety feature to avoid...

Hello Fellow Enthusiasts, I'm taking ownership of a new Fieldmaster this week. The dealership is 300 miles away. I'm having my son and his buddy take delivery and drive it home. What's your recommended break-in routine for the first 300 miles of the Grenadier? I haven't seen Ineos'...

About 600 miles in, check engine light comes on with these codes. (U00AC &P147E) Went to start up Rig this AM and it stated Battery was low with check engine light on and these codes. I have made sure to check nothing was left on overnight and the overhead panel main power switch was off. Has...

I have read about a few A/C problems on the forum including refrigerant leaks (resulting in air not blowing cold) and water dripping into footwell. My forum search skills may be lacking but I am not finding a thread about electrical issues related to the HVAC system. Please point me in that...

Greetings All Just some feedback on IG dealers Land Service Omerville, 95420 France We’ve been on a two+ week trip from Ireland to Italy - taking in stops in Switzerland & France along the ways - and I developed an engine warning light when in Chamonix, high in the alps. The car is packed so...

Interesting video on maintenance of diesel engines. Some common sense advice from an engine builder. View: https://youtu.be/kGN5iZ9zLTM

- Good morning, everyone. I hope you all had a nice Memorial Day weekend in the US. This morning, I was planning to change my oil. I removed the engine cover and noticed that some of the insulation on the underside of the cover is missing. Hmm, weird (see the first picture). As I moved to the...

Before using an engine oil additive, take a look at this video first (it has interesting comments about how the additives can affect your oil's additives): View: https://youtu.be/CAGT5inQScE In short, he is not a fan and he explains why, based on science not speculation (to quote the Geek...

Ok guys, I wanted to share my recent challenges with my Grenadier. Not to complain but to inform and seek out any similar problems. I bought my 2024 Grenadier in February. Due to travel, I only drove it 400 miles the first two months. A month ago, while driving on a very busy residential street...

starting a new thread (originally mixed in with the transfer case oil leak thread) so I can document this particular issue and provide updates hopefully my issue will be fixed and this might be helpful to to others I started noticing a slow oil leak about two weeks ago (my car only has about...

Hello dear friends! This is the first problem I have with the car and therefore also my first post on this forum. I own the diesel trialmaster with an auxiliary battery. So three days ago I went for a drive to my local car wash. After starting the car I noticed I was not able to connect my...

Hi guys, my car got 6k kms on it and just started the engine and noticed some smoke and went to open the bonnet to notice this thing is leaking. Any clue on what is this?

Hi, Did a bunch of "inspired" driving yesterday in Nevada. Got to go across some impressive water with mud crossings. Got a bit of mud in the engine compartment. Mostly a light layer of silt from the crossing that sits in the front of the engine compartment. I'm going to clean up the car...

I looked at the B57 engine with the cover off and I don't really like what i see. Hugely lot of electronics, compared for example with a recent 2.8D from Toyota. Anyone willing to purposely unplug some stuff to see how the car behaves, and if Ineos did something to the ECU software to actually...

Has anyone had this code come up? The guy at autozone said I should be good to drive, but the fuel gauge may not be accurate. Hoping I can get the dealer to look/clear it next week and hopefully install the hitch at the same time.

A pleasant puff piece... (If you don't understand French, Youtube will generally let you watch with autotrans CC.)

Hello, I got my Grenadier Fieldmaster few weeks back from Dubai dealer, the car is amazing on-road and off-road, except for one issue bothering the comfort of enjoying the drive. I have a continues noise coming from the engine, the noise never stops even while parked, driving slow or fast and...

As some will be aware, we are currently using a Grenadier loan car as ours has been with the dealer since 7th December and seemingly can’t be fixed. Yesterday was an exceptionally rainy afternoon / evening - even for the Midlands of England in February and the grenadier performed brilliantly...

I’ve had my IG for two weeks. Love it. Took in to get windows tinted and when I picked it up, the orange engine light is on. Any ideas? I left the car alone for a couple of hours to let it go to sleep mode, but light came back on when I started it up.

I've filled up my tank 5 or 6 times but yesterday after filling up the check engine light came on. My dealer, Elliot Bay, informed me this has happened to a couple people when overfilling the gas tank. I did not overfill it, just let the gas pump shut off automatically. The code is P0461, which...

Finally time to go back to work. Only problem was I was 2 states away with a truck to get home. Sure, I knew the snow was coming, my wife told me to leave last night, but my bed was just soooooo comfortable. Today I drove from Durango Colorado to Yuma Arizona. I woke up at 5 to 3 inches on the...

Hi everyone my tuner want to know what type of ECU manage the engine on the IG in gasoline ? someone know the trade and type ? thanks a lot

Can anyone please help. In Melbourne, 3 weeks and 1800klm from home, my new petrol fieldmaster now won't start but continues to turns over even when the hand is removed from the ignition key . New years day, everything closed, going to see family, what with the aircon stuck on full heat and now...

Hi all, I am about to install a GPS tracker. 12V continuous and ground is no problem but the relay type tracker has also a signal input for engine running / (15) What is the best place in the space around the main fuse block under rear seat to acquire the signal Ignition / Engine...

Hello to the forum. First of all: Since my English is not so good, I wrote the text in German and had Google Translator translated. Maybe it reads a little bumpy. I apologize for that. Here is a short conversion report. Before the questions come about how: is he allowed to do that? Is that...

I wonder if anyone has looked into doing an LPG conversion of the Grenadier yet? Prins Autogas talks about B58 conversion unit but the website info seems to be outdated: https://www.prinsautogas.com/en/news/update-di-list-new-vsi-3-di-applications-available They do seem to have a working...

Right I don’t think I have seen this mentioned anywhere else. I have a petrol UK version. I decided to try out the exhaust sound the other day whilst sat on the drive so I revved the engine, that’s when I realised the car won’t rev past 3000rpm in park or neutral. Don’t get me wrong, the...

Not sure if this has been discussed yet, but anyone have any insight on whether we can un-detune the B58 petrol engine? What would be the pros and cons of this in the Ineos? I haven't driven an IG on the highway yet, but just wanted to bring up the convo. We have a lot of 8-10 mile, 10% grade...

I’d like to know if anyone with a diesel engine has seen the ESS Eco Start/Stop function triggered ? I’ve never seen it coming in action once… Thanks.

I was in London for business and had a morning to kill so I took a (long) Uber ride out to the Chiswick West London Grenadier dealer. What a blast! Was able to get a ride along (US drivers license holders can't drive). Sat in the rear seats and it was very comfortable and quiet even with the...

This image shows and I think its from Ingmar the engine temp in the off road section do we all have this as it appears to be missing from mine only the engine temp that is will the software update fix it?

many think this engine is a HR. one of the best engines that BMW has ever made. YO even used it in one of their cars as well. but if this engine is so great why can you buy a pre-owned bmw that has one for such a great savings? (there's no mad rush to gobble these up) plus there's no...

New to forum. First post. I might be jumping the gun a bit on this one. A man can dream, right? I currently have a US spec 335d with a tuned M57D30TU2TOP with the ZF6HP28. Car itself is getting a bit long in the tooth, but the engine runs like a TOP. (pun intended) I wonder what problems...

I have no experience with engine stop start features. Is this a good feature or a pain in the arse?

Anyone with a diesel who can help? After turning off the car after a 30 minute drive. The engine cooling fan is super loud for 3/5 minutes after I turn off the ignition. Is it normally this loud? Many thanks

Which version of the B57 engine will be for the NA market, there are several petrol options at this point?

I thought I'd seen someone posing the question that without the engine variant, then we wouldn't know many details of the engine. Does knowing this detail off the CoC help? Engine code: B57D30. https://www.automaniac.org/engine/bmw/1701/bmw-2993cc-diesel-3.0-b57d30-24v-320hp

Is anyone considering aftermarket tuning options to pull more power and torque from the B58 power plant?

I recommend watching the latest video from LR Time. Christian presents a very thorough and accurate analysis of some Discovery engine problems and their causes. I think it is interesting for everyone who drives a car of this class, as all these engines face the same challenges. For the...
