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?

 

[Ever Pragmatic]

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

Thanks, I was curious what that noise was, was not the therm fan.

I'm up near Elgin , I think I'm already in the Scottish section on here

 

[Baron von Teuchter]

Ah awesome. I’m near Huntly and there are a few blokes in the Shire and the city.

G&L Marshall in Huntly are the only service dealer up here, they’ve been great for me so far, right beside the railway station too so pretty handy.

I have seen one or two grenadiers in my travels around here

That's one of the reasons I went for the grenadier since there's the one in Huntly and also dingwall, which is a bit far but the misses has family up that way

 

[Baron von Teuchter]

Ah cool I didn’t realise there was one in Dingwall, that’s good to know, I’ve got family up in Lairg and am there quite often.
