Grenadier Pickup Checklist

[grenadierboy]

I am picking my car up this coming Friday.

In my relaxed state of mind thinking about how the handover will take place, I recall a few members posted "issues" they had when finally pickiing up their Grenadier (Jean & emax spring to mind!).

So, to not let emotion carry me away in the moment - I decided to create a checklist of the key items that my son & I will tick-off once we get our hands on the car at the dealer.

There must be things I have missed that others think should be on the list, esp. for additional options.

Please add

Can I recommend you email that to them in advance and get them to fill it out and email it back.
That will avoid delays and disappointment on the day

Thanks Dave - I didn't think of that.

Could be a bit presumptuous to send your own checklist to a car dealer that should have their own?

You're paying for it.
Presumpt away

Plenty of things missing on the IA list... we need to have our own concise list of problems found from users on this forum. Ill be doing a list myself about 2 weeks prior to delivery and it will be me taking all that I can find off this forum (even stuff I can check once I get it home like hoses touching each other inappropriately!).

That's a bit of a half arsed list.
It doesn't mention anywhere what a few people on here are doing.
Remove all interior trim
Drain all fluid and measure for correct volume.
Disassemble the vehicle completely

I'm picking up mine tomorrow - Friday - as well - from Canberra. MM, Petrol SW (with full roof rack and sliders already agent fitted I hear). I live in Sydney so hoping for a nice drive home to try things out. I'll be borrowing your checklist as I bet otherwise I'll race around in a dither and forget to check anything.

You and me exactly Tim.

Good luck for tomorrow. I might be up a bit earlier than usual.

I know that my strongest emotion will be to ask for the bloody keys and then drive away as quickly as possible.

Hence a checklist and my son to calm me down and methodically tick everything off.

Does anyone have a newer PDI form from IA - particularly NA spec?

 

[Mountain4x4]

Anyone who comes up with a super comprehensive list in PDF or excel or something please share. Things like check transfer case shifter pin, check glass for cracking, check for door and safari window leakage also....could be a HUGE list at this point. 6 Months from now much of that may no longer remain an issue, but some of this will be around for a couple more years I bet.

Depending on when ours comes in (weather) I hope we can take it camping for a few days closer to the dealer, that way we can take it right back if there are issues.

Add to the list that the CDL does, in fact, go into low range, even though it may be checked as "OK" on the PDI. I had an issue with this which has yet to be resolved.

Check for assembly and/or transportation damage.
