Thinking about a container myself, especially after my son moved back home brining all his clobber with him. Getting someone with the appropriate gear and cover to do the donkey work moving and unloading would be my choice .

It’s a pity it is not available here, I might be tempted if they were.

Duly rotated 🙂

So it's not a prototype Grenadier then? I'll get me coat 😉

Wow. Fantastic photos!!

Moved post to the International where hopefully it will get a bit more attention.

I'll pin this to the top for a bit.

I am probably in the minority as I found it an enjoyable and somewhat tongue in cheek in places piece. I sympathise with some of his views.

I’ve owned several of all of them but views on which is best are very subjective. As a first car your main concern is going to be obtaining suitable insurance to cover all your circumstances. Bear in mind that all changes of the vehicle from standard should be declared to the insurers or brokers.

Yep, the latest Harry's Garage about his choice and the state of the electric vehicle market etc is well worth a watch.

Just like those little blue reels of PTFE tape.

I had a Doogee S96 pro and it served me well despite my rough handling. Unfortunately it bricked for no apparent reason, fortunately it happened just days before the warranty expired so it was exchanged for a Nokia Android. That one was fine up until an update which proved to be incompatible with my truck )can’t recall specifics). I got fed up trying to sort it so my wife now has that phone, I went back to an IPhone whose CarPlay works well in the vehicle.

Serviced one of my chainsaws on Saturday. Filled the fuel and oil tanks, ran it and tested it on a few bits of stuff around the ponds. All good. Drained the unused oil back into the 5 litre container of Stihl synthetic chain oil. Drained the virtually full fuel tank - but overlooked the fact the funnel was still in the oil can. S*d it.

It will be something very special when completed.

They seize up too..

I've got those on mine👍

Unless you have access yourself it's worth a drink to your local garage bod or MoT place to get them properly set up on a beam setter.

Agreed.

I'm so sorry to read that, it's a horrible thing to loose a pal like that. I lost my 7 y/o Springer to the same thing back in March.

Wishing everyone a very happy Christmas and a prosperous, and above all healthy 2024!

I suppose there could well be a cut, fabricate and weld solution but I wonder what warranty implications there might be?

I think you are right. A redesign of the drivers footwell and associated gubbins in new RHD vehicles in future would be in order.

No need. You have a PM.

Hmmm... I was driving "Classic" LR's nearly fifty years ago when they were current models - and owned umpteen different ones since - but sadly I'm still not sure my pins would take kindly long periods piloting a Grenadier with that lump in the footwell. But I can see I am probably in the minority here 🙂
