For those that have bought these glow in the dark ignition rings, how much life do they have? My experience with anything like this other than what’s on a rolex submariner is that it goes dull and useless fairly quickly.
i thought buying me a chunk of radium, and drop that in the footwell. That should do the job. I bet it will keep glowing eternally. :p

You are right. But it turned out quite tricky to attach the Rolex without destroying it. I gave up after the third watch as it got to dark 🌓

Yeah you’re right. Should use something more versatile like the omega seamaster. 😂

Although @bemax you and @Voader - Oudersopzwier would probably prefer the Glashütte. 😉

We've established no religion or politics here - let's not start a watch war 🤣

Besides, we all know this is the epitome of watch design.

For the second time I did dare to drive my car with zero, "0" red stripes on my fuel gauge:
20240104_131904.jpg

20240104_132339.jpg

I took the "voluntary" risk because I was very close to my house and there are several gasoline stations in the neighborhood.
The first time was even worse, I filled it with 90.94 l, but that was sweating, I posted it too "somewhere". I always fill it till the automatic "shut off" of the filling nozzle goes off. Not more.
It is quite consistent: 0 stripes means you can put at least 90 liters in it! And with one stripe you can drive, with zero stripes too, but I don't know yet how long ;)

Yesterday I passed by at my workshop, because "Arno" (the Ineos after sales guy) was back from Holidays, and I asked him what he plans to do with my water infiltrations, missing recall actions, and "maintenance warning" that keeps popping up while driving, see below:
20240104_131901.jpg

His answer: all cars who got the software update have now this "feature". Ineos knows this and this will be solved in a next software update.
I was not so happy with the answers I got concerning my analysis of the leaks: "we will have to analyze ourselves first", but after insisting he promised me to ask some questions to Ineos. Not sure that he will do it.
Anybody else who did have a periodic maintenance after getting the new software version (version 1946) has this very annoying feature?

I like these zero fuel posts Jean. Gives me great anxiety just reading them but very entertaining. Can anyone break Jean's 90.94l (petrol) with first auto cut-off strictly employed???

It won't be me (I hope) as I have severe FORO (fear of running out - apologies Jean) syndrome.

Jean - The software-update-related issues are unfortunate. I fear we have an entirely different (software) vehicle in North America. Hopefully not facing similar future issues...

Hope you carry a spare fuel can in the vehicle. I presume that with it being a petrol it will auto prime after running out of fuel.
Mine was built with the updated software version 1946 so up to date no bings or bongs (fingers crossed and touching wood as I type). But it will be interesting how the service indicator is reset - OBD reader I presume. My wife's Fiat has a work around to set the service indicator - Ignition on don't start, press the accelerator to the floor 3 times then ignition off. Bet the Grenadier isn't that helpful

With 0km to go on the fuel gauge, I fill up 85l

Hi Jean

I got the software update approx 4 month ago. In this time I drove approx 8000 km with the car. So far there have been no false „maintenance warnings“ and also no other false warnings anymore.
So, therefore I assume that the answer from your dealer „all cars with the new software have this feature „ is likely more an „I have no idea why and what that is“. 😉

Yes, but did you have your periodic maintenance in that interval?
I agree that my dealer often told me bullshit, (and still yesterday and today) but now it is: "people who had their service maintenance AFTER the software update can't get a proper reset of the maintenance interval warning". If you had a periodic maintenance the last 8000 km, then you are right, and I can confront Hedin with this fact. That's why I post my question.

Anyway: thanks for your reaction! (y)

Hi Jean - sorry I didn‘t got you right in the beginning. My mistake.
No- so far I did not have the regular service. That will be in Feb.

@Jean Mercier - I had my 12,000 mile service some time subsequent to the software update and can confirm a proper reset of the maintenance interval without any continuing warnings. It sounds as though Hedin are continuing to feed you BS! I don't expect any such warnings to commence again until the odometer reaches at least 22,800 miles, probably sometime in March in my case.

No, especially the Safari windows: as I did my own repair they don't think it is a priority anymore :mad:
