Paddy. You're not far from me either - J5 on M3If you don't mind me asking, where are you planning to go? I'm based Jct. 4a of the M3 on the Surrey/Hants border and see you're not far away...
Perhaps we should meet up at some point and shoot the breeze? I may have seen you on the M3 near Jct3 the other day heading north? There's 5 ways end (I think it's called) in Nately that's not a bad green lane if the hedges are trimmed! I've not spotted @simonpa around recently, perhaps he can be encouraged out tooPaddy.

Away at the moment. Would be good to meet up when back in a couple of weeks.Perhaps we should meet up at some point and shoot the breeze?

Hi all- I am still thinking a lot about the crashed prop shaft drom Logsplitters car ( on a non lifted Grenadier) and others cases, where the „rubber“ is falling apart at liftet cars.Yes the front prop shaft has been replaced and any associated damage been fixed such as the replacement of oil cooler pipes and replaced gearbox oil. While at the dealers they have also checked out the winch for me as I couldn’t get it to work and have never used it apart from to try it out on my driveway after first receiving the vehicle. They have diagnosed that the winch control unit is faulty so a new one is on order . I’ll collect the vehicle tomorrow and take it back in when the winch controller is in stock. I to have a planned journey through Germany and Switzerland in early October and some Green laning trip in a couple of weeks time. I am hoping no more problems. Hopefully Ineos are having a full investigation into the cause of the prop shaft failures especially in an unmodified vehicle.
The things one bought were already no good back then. That's why my father welded some himself over 50 years ago. And they hold their own. Back then it was just a 2002 BMW. I haven't needed it since I got my lift. But who knows. But you can come round with your vehicle and have do the repair in my yard.I need some new ramps. Mine aren’t up to the job of supporting a Grenadier. View attachment 7868816
How many kilograms or pounds did you add to your vehicle?Today I fitted my Almont4wd under guard protection. Straightforward but not easy laid on your back trying to line everything up. Of note the supplied View attachment 7868796m10 x 60mm bolts supplied for two of the fixings on the main transmission cover are too short and I found some old shock absorber mounting bolts and repurposed those. It’s needs about 75mm bolts . Also the front diff guard had an interference with the steering damper when the steering linkage rotates on its swivel joints so I had to take a slice off of the guard. All in all it’s good quality very substantial kit and super happy with the outcome. I have also purchased a fuel tank guard and will replace the original at some point.

Probably about 4x Jean MerciersHow many kilograms or pounds did you add to your vehicle?
Sorry no idea.How many kilograms or pounds did you add to your vehicle?
Each component has its weight on the website here. Plus the weight of the bolts used.How many kilograms or pounds did you add to your vehicle?
I experienced this for the first time today after dropping off at an early hour at the airportTonight I was out with the Grenadier in the fields, woods and meadows and had a look at the game fence that has been built against African swine fever. I kept the engine running when I got out of the car. I thought it was loud. At one point, I accidentally switched it off. Then the dpf burn came on. That was hell. There of all places. At least there would have been onlookers in the supermarket car park.
I was also interested - 53Kg if you use them all but you need to subtract some weight for the OEM fuel tank, front and rear skid plates.How many kilograms or pounds did you add to your vehicle?
