Some clarifications concerning second seat row, Utility vs.Station Wagon

[Eric]

Might be wax - hard to tell. But if this was my truck I would be querying the finish.

You took the word out of my mouth...

I received a commercial production vehicle yesterday so will take a look when I get chance.

Did you ever get a chance to take a look at the fixings?

 

[beg]

personally I quite like the industrial look and honesty of it. Mine is Donny grey and some of the spots were proud, some indented and some half and half. Being fortunate to have sat in my my own in the dealer, what you do feel is the overall heft and solidness of the thing. Having grown up with defenders, 110s and 90s, part of their character was the appalling welding on the window frames and elsewhere. Weld spatter was just painted over.. Classic.

Any news on your collection?

It’s having the flash today. Apparently Ineos will dial in to it and do their business on it. It also has to have two pipe changing, so if it’s all done, it should be good to go as I’ve paid in full. However this is Ineos… and delays are expected for no reason.

Hopefully you get the call m8 good luck

I’ll post any developments and am sympathetic with the dealers as Ineos control registration and authority for deliveries

bon chance Ever Pragmatic.

@Jean Mercier - is yours getting flashed this week as well and do you need new pipes?

I really don't know, and will not phone. I was at 100m of the dealer yesterday, but didn't go in, sick of waiting ;-).
I'll probably wait for their phone call.

Toughen up you big Belgian waffle.
You have travelled the world and won the battles.
Faced down the hardships and gone on.
Now you have a delay???

I've not had chance yet sorry, as soon as I do I'll grab some pictures.

It seems a combo of dial in and also personal attention:

Ineos' definition of "shortly" reminds me a little of mine when I'm asked what time I plan on leaving the boozer.

The waiting continues for me. I can only assume the update has gone through and that the pipes are still not fitted.. getting it this week would leave me the whole of Easter to delve in to it and get it run in.…

I hope they leave you with a copy of the completed PDI document ~ it would be interesting to see the details of campaigns completed.

Did an underseat box ever turn up?

 

[emax]

But I have a picture from the welds of the side panels of a customer car

I think when Sir Jim applied to buy all the tooling, JLR had a welder that was so messy they didn't want it and gave it to Sir Jim to taunt him and dissuade him from his project.

This robot now has a place of honor in production as a memorial against JLR so they never screw Sir Jim over again: JLR should be reminded of their insolence with every Grenadier that has panels and crosses his path.

Did an underseat box ever turn up?

Don’t know. It was missing the flag, rear door table and the box you described. If the software update was successful, I’m going to nip over to the dealer and have a play with the interface and other functions that were locked out in transport mode.

fingers crossed for you EP.
If you get the chance to seek clarification on the 'pipes/hoses' exchange I would be curious to know which, and of course grateful.

 

[DCPU]

Could you look for the type approval sticker and perhaps let us know what the details are for GB vehicles?

Actually, more interesting would be if there's a Certificate of Conformity as that should indicate the extension number as well as the main type approval number.

I think the "pipes" were in the power steering.
