Sick of waiting

[Jean Mercier]

But will you be wearing your Trialmaster jacket.?

OK, but then you will have to wait many months for my videos and pictures, knowing the usual delays of Ineos related companies!

 

[Tazzieman]

Don't worry, my mind isn't as old as @Tazzieman : as soon as I can I will upload video's to my Youtube account and post some pictures here, with or without a genuine Belgian beer in my hand!
I will not do it on FaceBook, because I am not so fond of it anymore although I have an account. I have even a twitter account with my genuine name, and I almost don't use it.
To please @Tazzieman and other Australians, I'll use my Australian hat when posting my first picture with my new toy.

Don't worry , I can do all the techie stuff (started posting stuff on YT ¬ 15 years ago)
This is why I have no problems with lifting a 40kg spare wheel. Start young And drink Tazzie beer!

Tetbury , England - why not give it a go , as we were in the area? Keep making memories is my mantra!

Are they safety flip flops that you have on there ?

If I ever need to throw a steel ball above my head, I know who to ask for advice

I see you worked out the loop option

Best of luck! My Grenadier was due today/tomorrow but still another delay - brake hoses need to be replaced and the dealer is waiting for them - just why Ineos didn’t send therm out long ago when they knew about the problem defies belief. I have a registration number, insurance but have to wait and my car has been at the dealership for nearly a month now…. Now looking at next week…..

My wait for a new Landrover Defender 110 400e plug in hybrid is quoted as 3 - 6 months plus an extra 2 months for an electric tow hitch. One of the shortest of the Defender waits but I saw all of the waits and I don’t think that any were over a year.
I cancelled my Grenadier order due to the various known concerns and delays but although Ineos seem to be correcting them before issue to customers they aren’t confirming which faults are being addressed. My particular concern is the diff locks. Unless the diff locks are absolutely reliable I can’t go on mud. The Grenadier was great to drive off road on a rocky track but on road and in mud is less clear.
Good luck to all who keep the faith. From a reluctant Grexiteer

You know the new defender doesn't have selectable diff locks right? The "diff locks problem" was imo most likely car journos that don't understand meshing gears. Same issues come up with the wrangler rubicons.

Good luck with whatever you buy though

Interesting Conversation with the dealer yesterday who said my car was now built awaiting dispatch. They then gave me a Vin ending in the 800s. I prodded about the delays and they said that the changes required (brake pipes etc) to the first batches are being done outside the factory as they didn’t want to stop production.
They said all ones being manufactured now include all upgrades.
The dealer explained that until they prove to Ineos everything is done and the software is clear, they won’t give them permission to register it (or register it themselves)
I asked how many they had delivered and they said none, but hoped to do 2 next week. They also said that more and more were being delivered now as they seem to have sorted the defects
I did ask why they couldn’t get it right first time in the factory which they said Ineos are a new company!
Knowing I wasn’t going to change much I poured my first drink of the weekend
Cheers all

It seems to me a case of suppliers ramping up production on their specific products. The 2B and PTO vehicles were few in number enough, that when the suppliers have to start pumping parts out in bulk, the likelihood for defective batches increases. Pretty hard for ineos to combat this before hand.

I've not heard anyone suggest the brake pipe issue is a defective batch from the supplier - rather all the evidence seems to suggest a simple factory installation error.

Asked Ineos via webchat when my previously est Feb 2023 build is due for production - no idea was the reply. Also asked when might a contract be issued for signing and got the standard response "in the coming weeks" and to please be patient.

no surprise Mondays continue!

Email after Chat with Customerservice:

The colleagues from Hambach can unfortunately not give me an update on your order. I have received the message that the colleagues will inform you personally as soon as there is news regarding the delivery.

1. At Dealer System : Production May 23
2. Now two similar orders at Ineos. I will take both if possible, and sell one with profit
3. Dealer has the information that our Grenadier arrive soon. There is a VIN.

(Reminder: reservation 30.09., order 18.05., contract 03.03.)

In the meanwhile the information are comedy!
Maybe, hopefully, holiday in June could be with a new car.

How many words do you use to ask for a beer?

How many words do you use to ask for a beer?

Usually three, later at night I sometimes manage only one.

Just had my final bill. Also told by my dealer to expect delivery reasonably soon as vehicle is built. As I mentioned in another thread. Within an hour or two of driving I will be posting a few paragraphs on here.

 

[Logsplitter]

Likewise I’ve had my final bill and paid.

 

[Logsplitter]

My account now shows build complete instead of in production and also in transit. Not long to wait I guess. As above final

payment has been made
