@Jean Mercier - no Grenadier in that amazing barn find in Dordrecht?

‘Unprecedented’ barn-find classic car collection up for auction in Holland

Couldn't fit a Grenadier in the barn... no more room, it was clogged already

So has he offered an email or phone number for these conversations?


Seems a little passive - couldn't he just jump in and introduce himself like Justin H did in Oz, or do some videos like Greg C in the US?

As Steve Kettle didn't take up the offer for his FB group maybe @Stu_Barnes can jump in and get something set up for him in this forum?

I sent him a mail, it has got lost in the ether. I tried to cancel and the rep at the end of the mail, ignored my request and continued to rattle on about how excited I would be.

So hanging on - just. i think we would all feel much better when Jeremy and others get their cars. Until then, we speculate.

PS, I asked Steve Kettle some questions and no wiser really.

i have been told that the replacement brake pipe has been dispatched from a warehouse in Belgium and will be at the dealer next week. The software update has been done save for one snag involving the central locking, so once the pipe is fitted there should be absolutely no reason not to register it and deliver…

The locking fault seems is that when you use the remote fob to unlock the beast, it only does the drivers door. When you use it to lock up, it locks them all..

In any case, I think a delivery in the last week of April is possible but I’m resigned to it being May..

The “brand journey“ continues.

I've just finished tarting up my '95 Disco to flog and get the money for insurance and rego.
Today the central locking faulted - the driver's door won't lock/unlock with the fob.
But it has a metal key that does the same job, so I'm not worried.

If you push the fob button to unlock twice do all doors then unlock? This has been a safety feature on various vehicles for 20+ yrs ...

Honda Civic TypeR (2 yr wait)

Ordered in November 2022, delivered February 2023 (I delayed it to March 1st). Communication from Honda, exceptional (stop gap car and trade for the Grenadier).

You could be right but I think it’s something in the settings that just needs toggling. in any case, the dealer is asking ia for a view.

exactly like the current state of my D4.

one step away from keeping the windows open and utilising the Dukes of Hazard method.

Have a look at Boeing today just released info regarding a couple of bad parts on the 737 max thats going to cost them just shows why QC is important to companies.

was just reading that in the paper. cost Boeing 5pct short-term and the supplier 11pct.

they don't need any sub-standard parts on that model.

Yes I saw it on cnbc thought it was very relevant to our situation as they continued to produce units .

So that's an early test of the 48 hour parts delivery KPI ~ but when was it ordered?

Have they explained the reason it needs changing?

I'd be checking the solenoid movement and throw/adjustment of any rods/cables.

Looks like another one’s landed at its home…

 

[Top Cat]

So what did you have to do to get that level of service?

Hi,
I just kept sending polite but firm relentless emails regarding promise vs reality and how this is all going to pan out in motoring mags!!! and Voila!

 

[Tazzieman]

and Voila!

Excellent! I admire people who don't spell it "wala"

Was on back order before Easter. Arrived in the the Belgium based parts warehouse on Wednesday, expected at the dealer next week.

Well I guess one more red dot on the scorecard won't look out of place...
