Finally got a grenadier

[scottyboy436]

Finally picked up a ineos trail master after 2 years of pondering the idea of owning one. Absolutely love the thing. Collected it down near London and drove it all the way back up to Scotland.

I do have a few queries though

How often should I do a long run to allow the dpf to clean it's self ?

How hot is the gear box ment to get as mine was at 87 Celsius and the actual center console was getting warm, is this normal?

Normal operating temperature and engine speeds will keep the dpf clean.. low engine rev and not letting it heat up, will not. Your temperatures seem fine for a long run..

Perfect just the answers I was looking for , never had the center console ever get hot in my previous car so was a bit worried

Congratulations on your Trialmaster purchase.
The DPF has a mind of it's own and will do a burn when you least expect it. ( late in the evening, public car park, anywhere it will frighten the s..t out of the public.)
That temperature is OK if you had a long motorway run from London to Scotland

Thank you ,

Last diesel I had was around 10 years ago which did have a dpf , the car it's self is great much better on the road than I thought

On the dpf burn, most vehicles seem to require a 20 minute run at motorway speed on a monthly basis.
However, Ineos seem to have been a lot more clever than most. When it is ready to burn, it will just do it.
As above, accompanied by a very loud fan.

That's great , was told from the sales guy that it would need a good drive and as he put it open it up a bit when driving
