What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[PBD]

I spent a few more hours

For the speedometer to disappear is a serious malfunction. IA need to get cracking with their software update pronto. Yesterday our odometer read --:-- for the whole trip along with red airbag malfunction. Getting fed up with it now.

me too

Things would be so much easier if the entire world used the same units of measure.

Talk about digging a hole for yourself. Most of the entire world is on metric system with one noteable exception. I wonder who that is?

It's the British, mpg and mph forever

I’m patriotic but prefer metric myself

I heard from Hedin, that's limitation from the current software. Should be fixed in upcoming version....

I'm waiting for someone to report a problem with the seat not sliding fully back and the agent/Customer Services to say "there's a software fix coming for that"...

That looks like a dual pole terminal block, The earth is wired to the chassis by the looks

Had a peek this afternoon - it's labelled as an Albright 1000800 12v relay:

I did the same on the left side some days ago, without any tools, and also broke a nipple or clip. I intended to post it, but @rovie was faster

So when you did this were all the wheel arch side plastic grommets butchered like this - mine just fell out:

Hi @DCPU, mine were not loose and look fine.

The U.S. uses duodecimal, true. A base 12 system is actually much better according to the math geek in me as it is more divisible. You have 12 joints on four fingers making the counting system simple on your fingers. Lunar cycles, months and hours also correspond, which would make all systems correspond. Yet the U.S. still teaches math using base 10, which defeats the purpose. The Egyptians, Babylonians and Chinese all used it with great success.

That said, the VHS format (base 10) won the world battle so to speak, and the Betamax/Base 12 (superior but virtually no adoption) needs to go away. No one does manual math anymore it seems.

I once had a math teacher tell me I can't use a calculator on exams because I won't carry one around with me wherever I go in life, so I need to be able to calculate in my head. Boy was he wrong. He also probably believed there is no way humans would willingly carry around tracking devices so the government can find you at any time. Cell phones are truly a marvel.

Hi guys, just got back after another test drive. In the meantime, I have eliminated almost all noise generated by vibration on the underbody. They were all metal sheets, of which I have already posted pictures, that hit somewhere. The noises were clearly transmitted to the interior. I had to search longer for a cause, but I found it. It was the metal bracket on the NATO connector. I put a little rubber under it and everything was quiet.

Sounds very interesting. I’m significantly higher. May I ask about your config: road tires? Heavy rock slider? Heavy winch? Second battery? Raised air intake?

Hi Deepblue, my Grenny is a standard Trailmaster on alloy wheels with the raised air intake removed, no winch, side steps, second battery and tyres inflated to just under the 5 person + luggage pressure.

You removed and blanked the raised air intake yourself?

 

[@nd]

No, at the dealers, they had a customer who wanted a raised intake on a Fieldmaster but not the original cover, they swopped the cover and blanking plates over when i picked up the car.

Hope you got some $ as part of the exchange.

Ah, part of the solution as to why vehicles without winches have no power to the nato plug. If this is true and those with winches have power to the nato, then perhaps this relay is also powered via the high power switch in the roof consul? No winch, no switch, no power to relay and no power to the nato. Just a hypothesis to test of course, diagram would be mighty handy - and the vehicle..

Mine were not loose, but were very easy to remove, I have to admit, too easy! But at least, I didn't damage them, unable to do that!

Agreed, so all we need is for the US to catch up to the rest of the world and go metric.

I don’t have one yet, but I’m one step closer…Pre-Order placed!

Makes much more sense for the rest of the world to see it our way. I mean it works fine in Liberia.
