That white looks nice and crisp, but it must be the lights. Certainly not MM. I've bounced back and forth on the checker plates and they look great in this photo.

It is Magic Mushroom

Any Perth Metro owners keen on ordering the Melvill & Moon seat covers? I've had a quote to deliver a set and the shipping is roughly $550 from South Africa to Perth . Figure if there are two or three other owners who are keen we can make the shipping more reasonable per order. A full set of the standard covers (for 5 seater) is around $800 AUD at todays exchange rate. Still a lot - but less than the Ineos covers. I would want to keep this to Perth metro owners who can collect from me. Let me know if interested.

There is a thread somewhere on here may @Stu_Barnes can guide you, there is a UK supplier, which from what I can ascertain should be cheaper. I'd order a set if I knew when mine is arriving.

I’m pretty sure they can only supply to the uk. International orders come form SA.

It doesn’t hurt to ask them though.

Be worth checking with Melvill & Moon if they’re tracking that the AU (?) headrests for the non commercial in the back are different to some of the ROW configurations before ordering. I’m certainly keen on a set though.

There is a thread somewhere with the UK distributors email address, this would certainly be the cheapest way to get a set into the country

Yes have asked this question and am awaiting a response. Will let you know if I'm likely to go ahead.

That's what I've been told after contacting UK, SA and an Australian M&M distributor. At the moment we need to order from South Africa. The additional complication I'm trying to work through is they were not aware of differences in rear headrests for our Australian market.

Zacman - i just setup a conversation with those who are interested in moving forward with a Perth order. Was unable to add you for some reason (said I couldn't add Zacman to a conversation). If you are keen please message me. Thx

Ok lads n lady's....
Who in W.A is going to lend ASPW a Grenadier?
He's asking nicely

 

[bigleonski]

So sad.

So sad.

Poor Andrew

I have watched a few of his videos, but I can't watch any more. He sets himself up as an expert but plainly wrong in a number of areas. He is all about creating controversy to drive up views and make money. Nothing wrong with making money, just don't sell your sole and be critical of everything. Any vehicle that doesn't suit his needs in useless.

His presentation style is not one that I and my friends enjoy. Robert Pepper is much more sensible.

I agree, Robert is about the technical side of motoring where Andrew is about opinion.
As I mentioned before, I like Andrew's travel videos but find his opinion tiresome in some respects. He's in business and being opinionated gets him more likes/views/interaction for his channel it's good for business.
Like all YTubers now, controversy drives business, which is IMO is unfortunate as true informative content (which is what I want) gets lost.

Hi W.A. crew,

Wondering if anyone has had the software update performed yet @Magic? If so, any local feedback? Getting sick of the random bongs and lights…

Hi there.
I am currently in a long term loaner from Magic while they sort out my vehicle.

I’ve had it a week and very happy with it.

I believe they were upgrading demos and own cars first before customers so in theory this should have been done.

I’ve had very little errors popping up. When towing boat I had a trailer light error but that could be wiring config.

the fuel gauge looked ok. Went red at around 80ltrs gone so that sounds right.

Still getting used to getting the sequence right to do things. Spoilt with the simplistic nature of the defender.
