So you have been at the Grenadiers Big Bang location. (y)

Can you park there?

Actually you can't, I just did (and this is why the pub owner came out, but then he realized the car and he said for a photo it's fine and we got into conversation). I am not even sure whether I was allowed to drive into the city of London, with the Diesel, but nothing happened (yet). The good thing is, the pub is exactly at the border outside a special area in London where you have to pay 15 pounds or so as a traffic jam fee to even drive there.

And you've a smart number plate. :)

Thanks, I fully agree :cool:

Heute habe ich Aufkleber auf den Lachschaden (den ich mit dem Ausbesserungsstift nachgebessert habe) angebracht, den ich mit der scharfen Kante meines Schalldämpfers bekommen habe, als ich mit dem Gewehr auf der Schulter etwas aus dem Auto holen wollte. Verdammt, das hat mich verärgert. Immer auf Augenhöhe gesehen. Es gab also Aufkleber mit einschusslöchern.

Did I understand Google Translate well, that you put some stickers looking like bullet holes on damage that you caused to you car? :unsure: :eek::LOL:

So today I attended the Goodwood Members Open Day, surprisingly we had been accepted for display so had a very nice lunch in the house. Grenadier attracted a surprising amount of attention!

Exactly my observation as well.

My guess is that this is due to a DPF cleaning cycle. In that case, switching off the fan(s) with some trick might be a bad idea.

When I came home from an event at 2 o'clock nighttime, it was a real pain. I parked my car on the driveway and it made a noise like a starting F4. It's a residential area so my neighbors will not be amused if this happens again and again.

There should be a setting to stop PDF cleaning cycles from being carried out within a definable time slot like e.g. 22:00 - 7:00 o'clock.
Would turning on the wading mode not help, it will disable DPF/GPF regeneration and engine fans --> only the engine needs to be on but maybe this can be tricked by the turning it off and turning it on again quickly like the trick for the winch to work with out engine on.

What is disabled with wading mode:

And how did the Grenadier do on that climb out of the water?

It handled the exit very well. If you check the video at 2:30 you will see the view through the windscreen as I exit. Only centre diff locked, and low range selected.

On another climb (not filmed) I lost traction half way up a loose, rocky incline. I stopped, engaged the rear locker, and continued up easily, proving that the lockers engage straight away.

Thanks for pointing that out and well done. Though, to be fair to the other rigs, the water shed from your Gren made what was a soft dirt exit a mud exit. :LOL:

Did some optical "tuning".
The colour is deep red, the pic of the bonnet isn't good as the A has the same colour like the backdoor.

I can see it now you have said that. I would have put as Donny grey first glance, light can play amazing things in photos.
