Folks check out this video. I don't have my vehicle yet but if you can you check your vehicle if this is actually true.

It's actually true - I made the video.

Thanks much!

I would "worry" about it only if your vehicle (when it does arrive) doesn't have the plastic clip on the fan shroud.

Worrying about it now before you even take delivery just seems silly

I'm not worrying about it Anand so I don't think it's silly. Just sharing to the community and it's up to them to accept or reject this info when all I'm trying to do is to bring awareness...

Ooh, I've not had look, definitely on the to do list.....

interesting, I’ll check in the morning. is the hose supposed to be attached to something?

 

[AnD3rew]

I am assuming this is the petrol model. That bit doesn’t seem to exist on my AU spec diesel

 

[MTNDOG]

Any idea of what it is supposed to be attached to? Something forgotten at the factory or "working" as designed?

Adam posted the video but I don't think the fix was included. I will mention to @MossyIG when I pick up my vehicle.

There is a clip on the fan shroud that holds the hose assembly in place. From what I recall, the wiggle is normal as it cannot come in contact with anything

 

[Norb-TX]

It sure sounds like it’s contacting something in the video.

Ive just checked my petrol Grenadier and have exactly the same issue but there is no obvious place to effect a temporary fix. I’m a long way from anywhere and need to sort this before any more rough roads. I’ve had a few things coming loose and falling out. I will report later via the thread logsplitters travels as internet not so good here, so can’t trawl through every thread.
On the border with Namibia/Angola at the moment in the most beautiful location for a spot of fishing for Tiger fish once I’ve secured a radiator pipe fix.

I'll poke around and see if I can identify such a clip.

Tiger fishing in Zimbabwe is such fun too
Angry little suckers! Enjoy

OP thanks for posting this, but I don't think we need a dedicated thread for this. All the coolant hose issues are well documented in this thread, including this video: https://www.theineosforum.com/threads/coolant-hose-damage-holed.12412518/page-11#post-1333247301

I’ve effected a temporary fix securing bottom hose to chassis rail, small top hoses to air inlet pipes and other pipes secured together as required. Ineos are aware and on the case
Tiger fishing we’ve done before in Mozambique and they are certainly feisty. The water a bit murky here on the Cubango as recent rains but will try it out.

Thanks friend - send along some pics of your remediation if you get a chance between fishes?

The trouble is now that there are so many threads it’s hard to find the appropriate one.

Struggling to send photos as remote and internet poor

My RHD petrol has a clip which according to the dealer isn't for the hose. They say that they are designed to be loose. I have no idea if it's true.
