Easier: Just stand there and look helpless. Some young buck will come along and show you his muscles Hint : pack a sexy blonde wig to get their attention.I'm contemplating a small block and tackle from the rear roof bar to achieve this....
Thanks for the above insight. I don't think there are many of us in the forum who could manhandle the rear wheel tyre. I'll take Tassiemans wise wisdom and invest in a blonde wigApart from changing a wheel or moving panels/seats on the inside, there's very little the average owner, no matter how experienced, can do or might need to do with this vehicle in terms of repairs... and especially since there's no sign of a workshop manual of any description...
It's a matter of risk assessment... preventive maintenance at regular service intervals and you should not require any more than what's provided in the tool roll under the driver seat... except perhaps for a simple beam-type tension wrench to get the correct torque when replacing wheel nuts in case you need to change a wheel..... and you are tall/strong enough to manhandle 40kg of wheel/tyre off/onto the rear door carrier I'm contemplating a small block and tackle from the rear roof bar to achieve this....

For remote travel I carry an extensive tool kit sockets, spanners, screw drivers, welding glass to tape on cardboard to make a welding mask and rods for arc welding with the use of dual batteries ( Trialmaster ) jumper leads and an additional short lead, ( some practice required ), soldering iron and solder with wire, fuses insulation tape Lindstrom diags, hack saw with multiple blades, clamps steel spade with tubular steel handle so it can be cut up and used for fabrication as well as used as a shovel, hammer OBD tool, fuel hose, belts, radiator hose oil, brake fluid nuts and bolts, liquid steel, stainless cable ties, normal cable ties, fuel filter oil filter air cleaner, multimeter, cordless drill, torque wrench etc.Good Day All,
Can I please get your help to summarise key essential tools that you'd recommend to all Grenadier owners, whether experienced or not in repairs, to carry with them.
I know I have to start somewhere, so best to get the right tools from the start and improve my knowledge as we go.
Thanks,
Crimson

Hmm, that's a comprehensive kit.For remote travel I carry an extensive tool kit sockets, spanners, screw drivers, welding glass to tape on cardboard to make a welding mask and rods for arc welding with the use of dual batteries ( Trialmaster ) jumper leads and an additional short lead, ( some practice required ), soldering iron and solder with wire, fuses insulation tape Lindstrom diags, hack saw with multiple blades, clamps steel spade with tubular steel handle so it can be cut up and used for fabrication as well as used as a shovel, hammer OBD tool, fuel hose, belts, radiator hose oil, brake fluid nuts and bolts, liquid steel, stainless cable ties, normal cable ties, fuel filter oil filter air cleaner, multimeter, cordless drill, torque wrench etc.
And all up adding surprisingly little weight, as most things having multiple uses, and as with many other similar forum members almost always used to repair other peoples vehicles.
The tool roll has arrived.There is no point in taking any photos as the website shows everything.Back to tools.

Very likely! I might use these as a "Template" and substitute decent quality! For the lug wrench, I already have a decent torque wrench ans 21mm socket!Maybe the Ineos ones are made in China? Might get the spelling wrong!
I've been informed (by dealer) it is 21mm. But have not tried my socket yet to confirm!!Good point. I’ve got one somewhere, hidden in the depths of my garage. Just have to sort a suitable socket for it.
anybody know what size the wheel nuts are
Size for wheel nuts is 21mm .I've been informed (by dealer) it is 21mm. But have not tried my socket yet to confirm!!
Pretty much my thoughts. But I will be substituting, where necessary, the supplied tools with better ones (if, as reported, they are Chinaware...). I already have a dewalt battery impact wrench fitted with a torque limiter, a couple of 21mm sockets, a breaker bar backup (the battery is bound to be down when I want it!). And, if going remote, tire repair kit.
