Today I fitted my Buzz Overland hinge mounted side steps and my Climair window deflectors. Very pleased with the result. 
. And you Americans thought everything was bigger in Texas. In the U.K. we have serious bottle openers 
That does look good on those big tyres.
That’s the price we pay every day. And apparently our new government are going to put it up next month!
Thanks very much. I would be happy to share. Click the links below.That does look good on those big tyres.
Can you elaborate on the details of tyres , wheels and lift details please.
How noisy are the tires?
I do not notice any difference from the KO2s.
The one I have just manages to hold the lid up. I will have it re-gassed to a higher spec at some point but for now it's OK. Mounted on the inside, it clears the positive terminal.
Great story and pictures. Does the short door or ladder hit the shovel?Today I was invited by INEOS to visit GRENADIERS AND COFFEE at Motorworld Böblingen near Stuttgart. There were about 30-40 customer vehicles on site and LeTech was there with some of their vehicles. The new special model Belstaff 1924 was presented and in a Q&A round all questions concerning the Grenadier could be asked. In addition to people from the marketing department, there were also employees from the technical department on site. Some customer vehicles had equipment fitted to their vehicles. Most of it was probably more or less driven around. The funniest thing I found was the brand new Rhino Rack shovel, which was fitted with edge protection. Hopefully the tough kid won't forget to put the protection back on when he has to dig himself free in the urban jungle.
It was interesting to meet Grenadier drivers live. That's something else than in the forum.
I was also surprised that the marketing team was well prepared with regard to us customers. When I registered, I was greeted with ‘Hey, you own the first Grenadier delivered to a dealer in Germany and to you’. And I hadn't even said my name yet. INEOS team, if you're reading this, hats off again! And thank you for organising such a good event. I'll be there again next time!
I agree. I baby mine more than i should and clean if once a week. Even at 6’2” i need a decent step ladder to reach the middle of the roof. I will say every time i clean it i appreciate more how well it is made.I gave mine it’s first proper wash today since owning it. It’s had a couple of hosedowns to get mud etc off but I’ve not given it a decent tub.
Some observations:
It now looks a little whiter than cream - happy with that.
I’m also looking forward to not having dirt coloured pants around the calves for a little while.
What kind of hell did the designers envisage when they designed this thing? Washing it is hard work - so many cracks and crevices and ladders and external hinges and L tracks and spare wheels etc to work around. How did you ex defender guys do it and stay positive?perhaps this was the least of your problems.
With my dodgey knee and not having access to a step ladder, I had no chance of cleaning the middle of roof or the middle of the windscreen. The windscreen is full of old bug carcasses so I’ll need to deal with that properly soon and then give it a dose of RainX.
The wheels have a lot more brake dust that the cruiser used to have. The X3 is the same so it must be a Euro car thing.
Anyway, that’s enough whinging. I suppose I should just go out and get it dirty again so I can get better with more practice.
That's a good question. I had thought about that too. Unfortunately, I never met the owner. But I assume that it was just enough. Anything else would be very embarrassing.

OopsyHad my second service today at my dealer, 40000 km (41035 to be exact). He noticed some damage that I hadn't seen, oops
The wet part is NOT oil but water, it was raining heavily when I drove to the workshop.
View attachment 7869657
He made also a software update of the head unit and I have know the software version 689002940.
BUT, the service warning still keeps coming up, even after my service, and this is now without interruption since September last year. Very annoying.
See the video I made after coming home
I asked my dealer to make a ticket with Ineos.
Fortunately I have a "temporary fix", see my post here:
How to disable the popping-up of the Service Interval Warning?
They probably could. I think the obvious reason why they adopted this approach is they would have signed a contract with the Bosch network for x amount of years before it can be released. It’s still new and requires support from Bosch to do the programming and more importantly it’s a business...
! My left rear bumper corner is a few millimeters closer to the vehicle than the rt following an off roading event - wasn't aware of it for several weeks .
