Delivery Date - UK

bugger, looks like I'll be needing to change the D4's lower arms and air intake manifolds to tide me over. Was planning on chucking it 'as seen' on a part-ex next month. That's eaten into the booze budget, I want at least a free cup Ineos if you are reading this!
You can live with a shimmy and clunk surely. ;)
 
Yes very much the same story here, originally a January 13th build date with Jan / Feb delivery, [obviously January has sailed away now!!] spoke to my agent [Jardine's Kent yesterday] and they have nothing new, and nothing to add, but were able to supply the build spec with the prices on it, my one on the portal doesnt have those. I also spoke to Ineos support, both a service agent and their managers as well, and they are saying - yes its in production, the build date has changed from January 13th to February, to take into account the additional quality checks, but don't expect it till the end of March at the earliest, as for the contract, that will have the delivery date on it so coming soon still. So all in all not much further forward but it will get here soon. They did say those receiving the Grenadiers are the VIP's so I will doff my cap to you!:eek:;)

The really annoying thing is - like many here, March is tax, MOT, insurance, service and new brake discs in the car I was moving on, so fewer beer 🍻tokens for me I think, either that or more work.

For the lucky ones who are getting the Grenadier this month - photos videos and feedback please please please (y) 🚙
 
I certainly can but unfortunately both MOT failures. The arm swivels have eaten themselves and it won't rev past 1700 (for emissions test) without going into 'limp home mode'. Aaargh!!!!
ah uk, I forgot. no MOT in the states, there's some shockingly maintained vehicles here

Wow 😯 no roadworthy test. That surprises me. Even when I was in Malawi they had a COF certificate of fitness test. Although to be fair you could leave an envelope on the passenger seat if you were that way inclined. 😂
 
only 5 sleeps to go......
Ha. The nightmare continues.. I was skiing last week and was awaiting confirmation that it had landed at the dealer.. Being IA, it has yet to appear! Unless it did so today, I’m not sure I can count on delivery next week.. Our plan was to “visit it” this weekend with my lads and take some photos but alas that’s not to be….

Not sure how long it takes to pdi etc so I’ll just have to sit tight…. rest assured, i‘ll update on any developments..
 
Only emissions, and if the police think its unsafe they give you a ticket. At lest thats how it seems to work in California, anybody in the USA please correct me if I'm wrong.
Like most things, it depends on what state you live in. Here in NJ, there's inspection that includes not only emissions, but also your horn, brakes, lights. etc. New cars are exempt for 3-4 years and there after, inspection is typically every 2-3 years. Other states, like Iowa for example (I once twice lived there), has zero inspections whatsoever; however, you can receive a ticket if the car is deemed unsafe by the police.
 
I sold a beautiful Defender 90 to a friend in PA…. Their friendly “MOT” inspector snagged it for a couple of ridiculously small issues, PA can be brutal but here in NJ they only check the emissions and even then with all my old Defenders etc there’s never an issue.

Just popped in to my dealer and they’ve yet to receive their own demonstrator or my own unit.. They were very friendly as usual and I commented that the saga is all part of the IA “brand experience“.

They have a PT2 in silver in the showroom but I didn’t succumb to the temptation of jumping in it as it only makes the delay worse..

Roll on next week……!

This doesn’t happen to the PT2 in your dealers showroom does it?
