There has been a little debate about how thick it is! @jeremy996 You Sir, are an object lesson in the art of patience! 🙂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to my dealer this afternoon; they are on notice my truck should be with them on the 02/04/2023. They still don't know if all the softwear updates will be available, how long registration, PDI and adding dealer fit extras will take. I'm especially sore about it as I have been caught in the rain driving the Morgan. It's OK when actually going forwards, you just get soggy when stopped at traffic lights! Still, client thought it was funny. Edited March 15, 2023 by jeremy996 Why I'm a little peeved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm supposed to be marshalling a cycle race on Sunday; my LR90 still is missing working rear lights, so no MOT and the Grenadier is "somewhere". I'm not sure whether the cycle race will see Charlie the Vauxhall Agila or Fay the Morgan; neither have the road presence of a full sized 4x4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy996 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 The guys at Urban have been loaned a road registered Grenadier. I must admit I did not hate the side steps they designed as much as I thought I would! Generally positive vibes from the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 When I saw a new post from you before opening the thread I admit to hoping you had positive news about finally getting your Grenadier... The video? Well annoyin' presentation innit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video? Well annoyin' presentation innit. Richard Young at Chandlers, Belton has gone on holiday for a fortnight and from what other eager prospective owners have said not much is expected to happen in the next week, so I've clamed down and thought of different things. As for Urban, a bit faux London, but I was more impressed than I expected on their process. I think their side step looks better than the Ineos one I have added as an option. When I break the fitted step or it rusts through, I'll have to look at Urban for a replacement, as my Mother and Mother in Law will need a step to get in.

Happyoldgit Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 The last video leaves me cold. I am sure there will be other aftermarket bolt on manufacturers that are not quite so concerned at being the first to knock up something pretty.

jeremy996 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 The PDF of the standard owners manual is now available for download. This isn't the manual I really want, as I want to study the workshop manual closely, but it is a start.

Nope, 69Mb for just the one touchscreen; much of that on how to operate the infotainment. It's not a FFRR. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
