Australasia Grenadier Delivery & Wait Times in Australia.

Here, some moral support for you.

yeah - but you got the nice white roof so the white letters work.

 

[grenadierboy]

I've thought on this. Do I fall to peer pressure and get the tyres flipped, or do I run with my current thoughts and go you know what - stuff it, if they're out or in, I couldn't give a stuff.

what if you just don't like advertising brands?

 

[grenadierboy]

The only white I like on tyres (sorry, the anti-bogan coming through)

See, I object to that more than I do white letters on 4wd tyres

That's the 1960's vibe

Would never put them on my 1969 E Type

Would never put them on my 1969 E Type

I would do same if I had one - too sporty for whitewall

By late 60's whitewall, even thin, was starting to look a litte dated but it was very common on Mercs with the famous one piece hubcaps with slats

Meh, either or. The brand is still on the dark side you just need to be closer to read it.

My tyre guy is trying to sell me a set of these at the moment - just the tyres not the rims:

Agent just called me (I saw his number and immediately thought tomorrow's handover was being cancelled...."Hi Mark, how are you going, good - unfortunately we have found a rather large issue with your car....")

But no - back to the BFG white lettering on the out or insides.

Yes - my car has lettering on the outside & no they won't turn them around for free.

$200 please

OK then.....the price of keeping that inner bogan at bay

Contact BF Goodrich and see if they will pay you $200 not to have them turned around

 

[Davman]

Hell no unfortunately.
At the start of August, my car was scheduled for delivery to me TODAY.
Now at the end of August, it looks like my car is stuck in RoRo hell in Melbourne, with the ship I think it is on, not scheduled to dock for another 11 days - although it is sitting anchored in the bay.

Just rang my agent as it's been 40 days since the vehcile arrived in port.
He tells me they have 6 in Launceston , all awaiting parts (not stocked in Melbourne) - thus from the UK.
Plus ~25 hrs recall work/car. Could included sunroof/door seals , hoses , who knows?
So I'm closer- but no closer if you l know what I mean. Interest is gathering on the money I've paid IA...

Tazzieman they have obviously read my letter about you.!

Tazzieman they have obviously read my letter about you.!

Which one of them?
The "do not touch this joker with a barge pole" one or "this is a gentleman of unimpeachable respectability" one?

Mate I cant remember as my head is spinning ... just returned to Townsville after a three day drive up Cairns and the Atherton Tableland promising everyone of my mates that the next rip up that way will be in the Grenadier.
Cheers

25 hours recall work per car seems somewhat at odds with what Lynn Calder is reported to have said to this journalist:

"4x4 start-up’s new boss said she refused to ship cars Down Under after small quality issue was identified.

INEOS CEO Lynn Calder has revealed it was a production quality issue that impacted the first batch of INEOS Grenadier Station Wagons in Australia."

INEOS Grenadier delays fixed, says global boss - carsales.com.au

I don't think my contact knows exactly.I've told him I've paid in full , all the bits seem attached and other than a few bits and bobs it should be ready in a week.
And if not , exactly why not.
But he did say they are waiting for parts from the UK, whether that's anything to do with my car I don't know.

 

[grenadierboy]

Tazzie.
FWIW
It seems our cars were built within a week or so of each other & were on the same boat to Australia.
They went through the same quality control both in line production & in the batch/hold.
Spoke to my agent today re: my pickup tomorrow - he said no issues with the car at all (they received it Monday)

That's reassuring, thanks!
Fingers crossed for a clean bill of health for mine as well.
You won't sleep well tonight
