It would almost be worth your while finding out who the best agent in the UK is and having a little holiday there in an AirBNB and booking your car in with them.
There is one closer by, in Lille, France, 65 km, 48 minutes when no traffic. No AirBNB costs.
Hedin is 33 km, 26 minutes.
And I have also Hedin Budapest: my youngest son lives there, why not for periodic maintenance.

I am very seriously thinking about other options, already months!

Rear cupholder. I bought this one from eBay

But found it wasn’t quite wide or deep enough it is two piece with the hanger part separate from the cup part, so 3D printed a new cup piece that clips in the hangar and all good.IMG_5325.jpeg

I already thought the same. Lille is closer for me than Lokeren.

Well done - bet it’s full of (snaps) schnapps for the dog?
hah, sadly not, just coffee. Have to drive, me, not the dog, the vet tells me the dog shouldn’t drink alcohol.

Anybody else who did have a periodic maintenance after getting the new software version (version 1946) has this very annoying feature?
Me! At the moment it is telling me I have 6500 miles to my next service, slowly ticking down. Slight complication in that I have the software update and 1st service close together. It's annoying but not unworkable.

As for an alternative place for a service, come to sunny Leicestershire, (well, Lincolnshire really), and take it to Chandlers of Belton - I can provide amateur bed & breakfast.

But this will be your first service, that's what you say, isn't it? Yes irritating that it appears too early too, I had this also. Was already commented on this forum. Warning should be OK when you start your car (even each time) but it shouldn't appear while you are driving.
Mine got it's first service! And it is already now saying continuously that I need a service in 20000 km or 12000 miles!

I hope this service warning can be reset with out any special scan tools? If you perform your own maintenance, this would be a problem. My bmw motorcycle had these service reminders and you had to buy a special after market scan tool to reset the reminder. If they are intent on displaying these reminders then they better give us a way to reset them through the centre screen menu options.After all they said this vehicle will be self serviceable for us home mechanics.

Congratulations. I don't want to be negative, but within some 3000+ km you will get the irritating maintenance warning. ;-(
Will be interesting to see, I had mine serviced at 1500km. Don’t know if they reset the service indicator but the windscreen sticker has 12 months and the km from that date.

My Grenadier stayed parked already 3 days now, and I am measuring things, and making some minor improvement concerning my compressor install and some other smaller stuff, like placing o-rings inside my key to avoid accidental "panic button pressure", thanks to the tip of @bakepl here

But, what did I see under the hood?

I think, but am not sure, it is a robin who uses my car to prepare his meal. Perhaps a bird specialist can confirm. I often see a robin around my car, even some months ago while I was under my car, the robin came to inspect what I was doing :)
Recently found a dead raccoon inside my son's Honda engine compartment. Wildlife likes the warmth I guess.
