I'm not sure you could call it the highest - certainly it seems to have gone through more layers of QA than most; but that rather begs the question of why weren't some of these issues picked up earlier?
I'm hoping none of the dealer held cars do not require manufacturing from scratch?
I think they where picked up earlier. It came down to expediency were to correct them. Get them out of the way and don't hold up production or you could have 1000s of employees twiddling their thumbs.
But do we not now have all the information that explains the current delays? A recent call from my local agent explained the latest "campaigns" (such as hose replacements) that were being held up at customs. INEOS want the cars to be right, and if that means delays, so be it. Comms and IT could be a lot better, for sure. But ultimately IA will be judged on vehicle quality, reliability and safety.
I doubt IA would ship out vehicles that were so faulty they would need to be scrapped. More likely the parts and service logistics hasn't kept pace with initial production creating challenges for the "campaigns" to be undertaken.
That’s a new one I think. Team…any speculation on this ?
But no green papers saying “brake pipe ok”, steering hose ok”, or even “wipers ok”? Wonder why highlight the transfer case above the other previously disclosed faults that need to be rectified before handover?
It could be that they found an uncalibrated torque wrench had been used to tighten the fasteners in production, therefore torque up of fasteners would be the countermeasure. Could be that, could be anything...
Any news on taking delivery Jean?
Don't ask
, I promise that I will tell it in this thread as soon as I know!
Our German sub-forum makes reference to the issue being twisting and there's photographic evidence that bears out installation not in accordance with Goodridge's own instructions.
In this vid, the IA driver states that they have had transfer case sensors overheating and that it was across all of their test vehicles around the world. That's the only thing I've heard related to transfer case problems.
Yes, I think that was early vehicles with no oil cooler. They seem to have trialled a manual pump and oil cooler before a redesign to incorporate the front oil cooler.
So the transmission and transfer case are sharing the same cooler?
