What would you say if you could ?

I'm a little surprised that the service manual hasn't leaked out online yet. EVERYTHING is online. These guys have better security than most countries...

Indeed. I'm not hip enough to know where escrowed hacker bounties are placed these days. But I'd sure pay into bounties for: 1. the service manual, and 2. the bus protocol.

It probably says more about the demographic that is interested in car maintenance versus computer hacking

 

[DenisM]

I got the impression that even equipped with the "super secret squirrel" Ineos dealer laptop, a second step requires one to gain internet access to "command central" at Hambach or wherever central records are processed to update software etc. Could be off target... Citroen for example were operating this way several years ago....

 

[HereinDaRockies]

No one is gonna hack this vehicle lol. The market is too small to make it not lucrative for someone to invest in time and effort.

Hey I've got the full copy. Are you on Signal and if so what's your email?

I was about to suggest the same.

Please do not abandon those of us in the UK particularly the 'early purchasers' who have put their faith and monies into the Grenadier concept. Sales were always going to be low by
comparison to America and Australia in particular and therefore a reduced number of sales agents / workshops required but we still need access within reasonable distance and the
reliability of parts availability.

I feel utterly abandoned by Ineos, to find out that my nearest service centre is now in Northampton was the straw that broke the camels back for me.
I'm not listening to anymore of the....things are changing, stick with it etc etc anymore.

So sad
I told.the wife about your solo travels and she started following you on Instagram. We were both in awe of your solo expedition. It is the type of thing I wish I was able to do, not so much the wife, but she does like to see others adventures.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you all that you get a local service centre soon.

I'm surprised you can't find a decent nearby BMW/independent mechanic.
Other than occasional technical service bulletins from Ineos (mostly non urgent/critical) the usual service items are pretty straightforward.
I lose 1-2 day's income travelling over 500km to get my Ineos serviced. It is what it is.

It is what it is, but when in the UK we had 20 sales centres and now we have 9 (10 if we count NI). Inoes didn't have the decency to inform me. I understand how some feel totally let down.

Living in such a small country we don't accept having to travel far to buy & service. I'm lucky with my dealer, fingers crossed, but I wouldn't be happy to travel over 45mins. I also would expect a free courtesy car from a main dealer, which ours does, but it seems some of you travel for hours and then have to hire a car!

True, but it isn't the end of the world. I'm 1. grateful and lucky to own an Ineos and 2. Very grateful to be alive and not starving , oppressed or under attack..

If I could say it after being bogged to the floor boards in a silty slurry in a LC79 can Ineos put a mechanical selectable with a lever neutral in their transfer case in the cab. This is absolutely the one thing that I like about the LC79 I use for work. Being able to select neutral in the t/case so that the vehicle can be towed on a work site makes a LC70 a better choice over an Ineos for wet season recoveries when the weather turns to shit and the site becomes a quagmire.

Or, as @Jeremy996, when drowned you don't have to go scuba diving to release into neutral. Or wait for water level to drop

 

[NQ94]

It looks like a bad decision but this is what we got to do in wet season to get paid and keep our equipment operating.
I am glad it is not like this all year and I respect the people who have to do the same shit work in snow or winter ice conditions. I rather do this at 35 degrees C instead of being frozen to the bone.

 

[HereinDaRockies]

UK is a small place right? I mean how much further does one need to travel to reach an Ineos service location?

 

[Jeremy996]

Chandlers of Belton, my suppling dealer was 20 miles, 39 minutes away. My nearest sales dealer is now Adventure Automotive, 48 miles, an hour and 15 minutes away. It's a small country and tightly packed.

Yeah it’s all relative I guess. Even with the reduced density of service locations, the distance to travel in UK is still on par with some of the best experiences, one can hope for, across many other markets.

Canada has 2 service locations for the whole country.. LOL

Well, after we invade, Canada and Greenland will have 28 more locations. It's clearly a win win situation.
