Love it. Start a bounty fund. I'm in. All the raw drawings and specs and instructions, plus bus protocols for reading/writing settings and options.

No really, if someone started an escrowed bounty for things like that, count me in. Power to the owners.

Yes, much more information should be public.
It does not have to be open source or GPL, it would be just good to get these information.
It would be no problem to pay a small fair one-time-fee like 300 EUR per full maintenance manual, or so..
also flashing ECU firmwares should be able for customers or free workshops at a very low fee or a one-time-fee.
Webasto offers free updates, you must just buy the diagnostic interface (and tons of adapters) for about 300-500 eur.

Workshop manuals can be incredibly useful, but getting your hands on one can sometimes be tricky. Some dealerships might be able to sell you a copy, but it really depends on the brand and the specific dealership. I've had luck with carmanuals websites for workshop manuals they offer digital versions for a fee. I really liked their sevices

It will be interesting to see how large and in-depth the Grenadier QM manual will be. I can see a condensed manual with systems operation, common mechanical repairs and electrical diagrams and codes still being the best option for most DIYers. I received a full NP300 Nissan Navara manual a while ago and it is over 6800 pages and covers everything with many jobs being specialised, with specialised equipment and well out of the scope of the home mechanic and some workshops. A little different to the old Haynes and Gregorys of years ago that covered most jobs well under 1000 pages.

I think you raise a really good point.

Whilst I have rebuilt engines in the past, I have no desire to see the finer details of how to strip and rebuild the IG engine, transmission, transfer box, diffs etc. I doubt if many owners would think otherwise.

Personally I would be happy with a far more basic guide including such things as servicing details, belt changes, electrical systems and fault finding.

I think transfer case and diffs would be a significant addition and most could take these on without too much issue however a BMW engine and the ZF auto transmission rebuild may be out of the scope of most as there would be to many specialist tools and procedures that would be totally unviable to buy or complete as a home mechanic. IMO just an explanation of how all the systems work technically and basic servicing would suffice for most owners and let the enthusiast be more knowledgeable about the vehicle without the in-depth technical repair information, a bit like the Haynes series of workshop manuals about tanks and aircraft from WWII.

The full WSM availability is key. When out of warranty and repair is required, it is helpful to see the full scope of work required, even if some is specialist work.

for me this is the biggest hold back getting into a grenadier. I now have a Toyota Hilux 2015, and I can find every nut, bolt and the torque settings for that.

 

[Tom D]

It is disappointing. The manual was one of the big selling points for me too. It's been nearly 2 years since the first deliveries.

 

[Deichrutscher]

For me it is the same.
No Workshop Manual --> no Grenadier

 

[HERMAN]

I loved and used my defender manual as well as my series manual. A shop manual is extremely valuable to me and adds value to the truck. Leather bound, water proof pages, multi ring binder please. If you want my opinion INEOS. By the way my truck is awesome period.

 

[Nick Turley]

Where is my promised manual ?
I love the vehicle but do not like Ineos not giving us access to service information or service resetting.
Until this is sorted I am holding off ordering another Grenadier that I would like.
This help was promise and was a key attractor for purchase for me.
