Chassis Pictures

[Eric]

There does look line a heap of hidey holes for mud and cake to get in under that chassis. Will need a rigorous clean after the big hauls.

That's what I was thinking and thought some plastic undertray to keep the crap out ~ but then you'd create some nice hidey holes for mud to accumulate. Perhaps that's why on the Scottish journo gaunt they drove into the loch - to clean it off for snooping eyes.

I think I read elsewhere that one ad blue tank is heated

All Adblue tanks are, this is done for colder climates

I just payed more than 800 € for the exchange of the temperature sensor of the Adblue tank…
I hope they are better accessible in the Grenadier!

I sincerely hope that there is a metal cover for the plastic gearbox sump panel pictured.

I'll be looking at one of these..

Seriously hope IA have a game plan for that otherwise most certainly be going aftermarket to protect the trans.

Cast aluminium cracks extremely easily if you hit a rock

That isn't a production undercarriage though, surely in final they WOULD/MUST have adequate protection for critical drive chain...??? By surely, I mean, mandatory.

These are frame grabs from the Africa Overland vid showing a prototype. I doubt very much IA chose to put under body protection on a PT and decided against it for production vehicles. I think we'll be fine!

Better cooling, more fluid (if you go the deeper pan), reusable, rigid and I hate plastic. Given the underbody protection (see above) I doubt that pan will ever see a rock.

Wonder if some of the aftermarket replacement transmission pans are a direct fit, to replace the plastic pan and filter with a replacement metal pan with replaceable filter.

These guys make pans for 8HP50 and the 8HP75 (the Grenadier uses the 8HP51 and 8HP76) There may or may not be significant differences in the physical pans from the 50 to 51 and 75 to 76, but given that the pan fits across a range of ZF units, my guess would be that they would fit. There is also the cross reference to the BMW part number.

I wouldn't trust them
They can't even spell aluminium correctly

The plastic pan looks pretty high above the crossmember. Not impossible to hit, but pretty difficult.
the recommended oil change is 8 years/80,000km, so not a rush to decide….
it does seem that ineos are releasing additional underbody plates after launch. Might wait and see…

We've also seen prototypes with diff guards fitted.

These may well be testing of the parts we've already been told by @Halliwell Jones Chester are/were coming in August:

9th 10th August INEOS grenadier with Halliwell Jones

The actual answers to those questions ~ are they posted up somewhere? Hi @DCPU apologies as I think I have answered questions in different threads when people have asked instead of keeping it all in the one, which I should have done! Few answers here for you. The footrest will have a...

Yes I was told the same by IA (except they didn’t mention a specific month when the parts would be available) at my PT-02 test drive last year. They also mentioned that the reason for the delayed availability for these parts was their original supplier was based in Ukraine.

The scale model has diff guards and a transmission guard in place as well - but it's just a model.

In one of the more recent interviews Sir Jim says that ?58 components are sourced in the Ukraine.....

I have the prototype scale model and my skid plates are plastic. Do you have the production scale model and are your skid plates metal?

Seriously.. So those 58 components cannot be made in any other country on planet Earth?
