So where are all the first impressions? (right here)

I will for sure not spread this further.

I have no idea how this could be "found" on youtube although it is not listed.

Totally up to you. He posted it to YouTube for everyone to watch, and has not yet taken it down. See the thumbnail on the middle right (damn, I have too many windows open):

Interesting. Thank you for the Image.

I really didn't find it the traditional way (i.e. by searching for it).

@emax Nice work on the video - they seem like wonderful people.

Does it drive off in first gear?
I understand it has a kick-down; and my old Beamer uses first gear only during this fast start or while shifting in manual.

If yours is a diesel. Then my initial findings were the same. It’s to do with the BMW accelerator pedal. My previous car has a conventional pedal. Move your seat back a bit so that the tip of your foot touches the middle of the pedal rather than the top. I’ve adjusted my style and my 1st gear starts are much smoother.

So go post your thread about it now that you know beyond all doubt no hacking was involved!

That green looks fantastic in the sun, congrats! Looks mean with that roof rack on there too!

I still can’t find it on YouTube directly but could watch it by playing on the link here by clicking watch on Youtube.

Have to say he makes some good point about hanging wires. Will need to see what can be done about that when I get mine. It really isn’t good especially that nasty hanging loop.

They are, and also respected in their LR community.

I think underbody protection will aliviate those issues, cable ties will be a stop gap in the mean time. Must say I didn't notice them in my crawl under the IG on Friday, but I wasn't really looking for those items.

Yes, here it is:

3rd party Videos - Vera + Christian: My Grenadier On Youtube

The day I got my Grenadier my first visit was at Christian and Vera in the neighboring village. Christian made a little video about the visit - humorous as always. And as usual, Christian had some interesting findings ... Here it is: typo

www.theineosforum.com

The former links in this thread seem now to be invalid.

...


@Loc Nar A word on my reaction: Christian had sent me the link without listing it, it was so to say confidental in that moment. And since I was the only one which had the link and it is normally quite impossible to find a link of an unlisted video on youtube, I was afraid he would conclude that I had broken his confidence and had published it.

I think this is understandable.

It would be very concerning to me if the safari windows proved to be prone to leaking. I cannot imagine that the shop tolerances for the fit and seal could even allow for it, unless it is a design flaw. As we in the US wait for our orders, I hope that Ineos can get out in front of the problems and issues discussed on this forum. We all want them to get it right, but few will convert their orders to sales if the number and frequency of problems increase. A good use of this forum would be to record information regarding common problems. Am sure Ineos is collecting this information. I can understand and forgive software glitches and the odd electrical issue, but window leaks, utility rail issues, loose bolts and some of the other issues presented on this forum speak to poor quality control. I do not want to spend $90k to return to the days of my 75' MG Midget, fun as it was to turn a wrench on it!

As the temperature has increased here in the UK the cabin has become more and more intolerable to sit in without any working A/C. I've noticed a few bits of plastic trim starting to buckle as well (heat related?)

I've tried to push it back into place but it keeps popping out again.

I have the safari windows and there are indeed drain lines. I still have to search for the origin of the leak.

Might just be the photo, but are the torx screw indents rusty?

Checked: no such problem on my car, also sitting in the sun!

 

[Trialmaster]

OMG. The car is almost undriveable in 30°C heat without working A/C. It will have to go back to the agent this week to be fixed. They mentioned it would likely be fixed by the next software update but we can't wait another 4 weeks to be fixed.

I agree - thankfully our AC works fine - but it is very warm initially and leather seats would be a NO NO!

Now, I have to get out of my hammock and go check mine...

Parked with the back to the sun and the nose in the shade. So everything looks good, but probably not the most testing conditions.
