Day One heading to Baja and headaches already!

Can a blue Grenadier be named The Black Knight?

Bloody oath...his armour needs a little bit of Plastic surgery and don't bring him out during the day

I have ordered on from the Oz dealer but since have heard that the US spec vehicles allow fault clearing but not the Oz spec , dont know if this is correct but I will post when I know

Just a thought.... it seems feasible the US spec vehicle systems may allow fault clearing due to provisions in their Federal "right to repair" legislation?.

Well done - and glad to see. I continue to be jealous of this adventure, mishaps and all.

rigged a field fix using a socket as a hose coupler

What a great bush fix. I’ll remember that one.

 

[ECrider]

quite ingenious

Don’t forget to zip tie the hose clamps together for extra security on the connection!

Well heck, made the finish, parked the Grenny to have a couple of beers and now it starts and dies right away. Suspect fuel issue but who knows. Anyone experience this and have a solution?

 

[GavinD]

What event are you doing?

Highly advise an OBD2 scanner for such an adventure. I used the OBDLink MX+ on my cross country drive. It was able to read and clear codes - including the fuel fill one.

Where do you plug this in within the car?

At least you got to cross the finish line.
Saw your video of the IG being towed.

Could this have been caused by the accident/incident you had?

Hope all goes well.

Also, is there an insurance for this type of event?

Insurance will cover the front end damage from the other car. Calling my insurance to see if tgey will cover any towing expenses , or at least some

On the US spec LHD vehicles it is under the dash near the driver's left knee.

Congratulations on your Baja 1000 Race Finish. What an incredible adventure and all done in a stock Grenadier. Thanks for your detailed analysis of the Grenadier in it's element and what you did to get it race ready. It gives me confidence to just about take mine anywhere. Love the Shale Blue as that is what mine is too. Keep the Video's coming. DaBull

At the 8 minute mark, perfect environment for a raised air intake pre-cleaner.

@Ragman , was the chase light necessary in spite of the Grenadier being equipped with rear fog lights?
