3rd party Videos Canny Outdoors - "Five reasons I am unhappy with Ineos. Why was my Grenadier towed away?

[Jeremy996]

Newish video from John Canny, voicing moans a number of us will identify with.

His previous videos are worth a watch, including a van rollover and some recovery with a non-functioning winch and lockers.

Very sad story! I watched this video and I do not know where to start, the price of a replacement key and spare steel wheel are simply ridiculous! With the lack of support and the broken promises concerning workshop manuals and the scarcity of spare parts. What an adventure!!!

 

[Reducs]

Sad, but entirely reasonable. We all keep hoping the Ineos mothership will see these comments and thoughts and react, but.. crickets.

I think Ineos should be called "The Silent Company". Maybe someone could come up with a better marketing campaign!

I share his pain on the parts. I paid £18.65 + vat each for rubber grommets for the auxiliary rads

and about £500 for a BFG tyre on a steel rim. I hope I get the TPMs valve

for that price but not sure as yet.

 

[carlg007]

What happened to the original grommets. I would like to confirm that the price was for one grommets and you needed four?

Price is for each. I lost grommets as rads came loose. All fixed now and later vehicles have a better upgraded fixing method. Early adopters of the Grenadier were part of prototype testing I guess
Mines been upgraded now so all good. I’ll post pictures soon when I update Logsplitter’s travels thread. But can confirm the rads won’t come loose now

Sad that you had pay out of pocket for something that I would think the warranty should cover!

I just needed the parts and couldn’t wait for warranty approval so just ordered not knowing they would be that expensive. I was more thinking take a zero of that price.

Ineos should pay you back, as you are their unofficial prototype tester ;-) warranty approval or not!

I’ve certainly been prototype testing. Where I’ve been recently is totally amazing. Totally off grid and a very long way from any dealer. I will elaborate in due course via Logsplitter travel thread.

Looking into my crystal ball I see...A Book...Discovery Channel...endless Bollinger - and free grommets, for life

That would be nice. And fund the rest of my travels around the world testing the Grenadier for Ineos.

And 1.9 million km later, retire to a small cottage in the Lakes District.

You have dashed my dreams. I was beginning to think you were some kind of “Mystic Meg” now I realise you are “Septic Peg”

I was quoted AUD780 for a 17 inch steel wheel a few months ago. I said no thank you. John's price was much higher than that.

That's quite odd, be interested to see why. I think Justin's (Hovecar) inbox may be a little busy. The comments haven't helped IA in any way at all. This (we hope) may be a good push to get them to act on their promises

But on a positive note - he loves the car.

Sadly reminds me of a mate who owned a Disco 2. He loved the thing, but it was always in the shop getting fixed, and the service guys were absolutely useless. But he atill loved it.

As people have said the MB Sprinter van wheel is the same , I've done a search. They make several sizes but can't find an exact match for the Ineos.

Is it the offset that's different?
