The Holy Grail (it’s finally here pt1)

[DDG]

I believe that it would not be a bad move on the part of INEOS to send the manual to whoever signed the contract, even simply as a pdf. Browsing through it and getting ready would still be a way to kill time and imagine that things are evolving. It is not a joke, but a reasonable requirement.

BTW, thanks Steve

Outstanding public relations idea! Are you reading this IA?

Thank you so much @Halliwell Jones Chester for posting this. Nice to see a hard cover book in this day and age.

I'm really looking forward to getting a pdf and may send an email to Ineos requesting the same.

I also agree with everyone that sharing the pics and info on other social media sites without acknowledgement is poor form, but unfortunately its the norm these days. It happens a bit in my professional field. Mostly laziness but also to make themselves look better.

Cheers
Steve

Just put it on the website for downloading

Put it in the KIT section and I will buy it.

if they don't publish the pdf I give it a few weeks before the bay bootleggers get in on the scene.

Thanks Steve in supporting our forum.

I love the intro to the owners handbook.

When you get it - pack it away, use the online version and in 20 years, the hard copy will be worth plenty!

 

[Wayneos]

It might be thin but with a sleeve with a load of CD’s in there for all the schematic drawing for all we know. At least stuff is trickling through, I will be honest, in typical bloke fashion, I never read the manual…as they say ARTFM.

I am hoping to see an update very soon with Steve standing next to a blacky silky sheet that looks like it has an IG underneath and a new owner standing next to it holding some keys and an extremely thin looking owners manual.

CD's went out with button up boots mate!

I've been back and checked and it does fit in the glove box. Here are some more pictures to scan through.

Thanks Steve, wish you were my dealer here in Australia. Absolute legend

So after months of speculation, here is your owners manual! Very nice too.

How did you obtain a copy?

 

[AnD3rew]

How did you obtain a copy?

They are a dealer. Presumably sent to them from INEOS for their customer cars.

 

[Halliwell Jones Chester]

Is there one per vehicle or did Ineos send out a big box? i.e any spares.

Just one per vehicle and comes in a pack in the boot. You know if I had spares I do some sort of competition for you all, and end up spending a fortune on postage because the winners would live as far away as possible

 

[Halliwell Jones Chester]

How did you obtain a copy?

They come with each new vehicle.

Just one per vehicle and comes in a pack in the boot.

Steve are you saying it lives in a space behind a cover in the boot similar to a BMW?
I would have thought that would be the case given the glove box isn’t big enough to hold a toothbrush.

It simply comes in a big bag in the boot which also holds the first aid kit and a few other bits.

Owners manual , pah!
I want the full horse leather bound set of workshop manuals , a la 928!

 

[Tazzieman]

And something to scale it against
View attachment 7806042

Belongs in the horsemeat thread @Stu_Barnes ?

 

[DCPU]

Of course , when out on the track and with no reading glasses to be found I shall carry a backup, in large font, maybe even Gothic.
This is a leather bound ledger cover from the century before last , had it for 37 years but has never been repurposed.
Could be goatskin , definitely not horse.
The only issue is I will have to significantly enlarge the glovebox?. Suggestions?

I think there's a purpose designed bookshelf in the driver's footwell?

I would have thought saddle leather would have been the obvious choice for a limited edition aftermarket accessory cover from Ineos?

So after months of speculation, here is your owners manual! Very nice too.

Thanks for the preview. Great that IG has printed a genuine manual instead of an online only access to their manuals.

That's it. Going forward I think that the only forum members that should be able to mention RH footwell, are those that actually now own a Grenadier. That is have the keys in their possession.

Why? Is there something wrong with the footwell?
