very useful series. Please keep it up. love reading the forum - but it consumes a lot of time. You are just so much faster and watching one of these short videos every day will keep us perfectly informed.
re. the car alarm: 4 ferry trips across Bass Strait (2 x return Melbourne to Burnie). 2 segments were relatively smooth, 2 were sufficiently rough to rule out using the elevators in the passenger section. On all occasions, instead of locking the car with the fob, I simply turned the key 90 deg anticlockwise to lock the car. The lights do not flash. My "intuitive" understanding was that while this activates/deactivates the door locks, it does not activate the alarm. While other vehicles' alarms were triggered on the "rough" crossings, mine wasn't... maybe I was just "lucky". There's no tell tale flashing LED anywhere as in other makes to indicate whether or not an alarm has been set... wondering what others may have experienced. Next time I'll remove the fuse! Thank you Ingemar👍
Very good informative video Ingemar ! Thanks 😊 from Steve near Chester England 🏴 where the Roman's once lived, and chariots had no door knobs 😮!! 😂.
The left side door lock... the heater issue... the damned noisy alarm... Yup, my Grenadier has thrown those at me... Thanks, Ingemar - most helpful... I must explore the mapping system one day... it looks like fun.
i was surprised that the alarm went off on the ferries! luckily thiose things can be fixed/worked around. the heating still needs some update regarding the controls. u would expect more in a modern car
Nice one, Ingemar, this will help many. Yep, I've had all those issues. And worth saying, the door latch issue will lock you out of 'drive' (which is itself stupid as it prevents you looking out of the door during low speed reversing, which you need to do as the driver's side mirror won't rotate out enough). I suggest the latch issue is serious enough for an official recall under modern regs. If the latch won't catch once you're in the car, it can be hard to fix, beyond repeatedly slamming the door! My dealer fixed the complete absence of heat, but the output is still low and slow and the system poorly calibrated - I doubt max range is beyond 7 degrees, unevenly distributed across the dial control. Then, at less than full heat, the split up/down (standard wet winter setting) control blows cold air at your feet. Never had such a poor heater control on a car - even 'old' Defender was better! A mystery how it got through production sign-off. I know it wouldn't have been approved during cold weather testing in Sweden (where most auto manufacturers test). Ineos are well aware of these issues, so I'd urge all owners to make a fuss about them. Ineos dealers are frustrated with the issues too and are keen to iron them out. And this isn't just a few unlucky cars, it's nearly all of them. Unhappy customers are a pain and online reputation a real risk these days. But if we don't shout, we won't get. And let's face it, these 'niggles' are unacceptable on any modern car, let alone one like this, which is mostly an absolute joy and a brilliant piece of engineering.
totally agree!! i don‘t understand why they can‘t fix those things quicker 🤷🏻♂️. btw: it should only kick you out of „D“ if you don‘t wear the seatbelt AND open the door.
Cheer! Yes! As for no seatbelt - pretty standard when I'm in the farmyard moving trailers. Also, doesn't the rear camera turn off in some combinations of low range/off road mode? I need to go out and re-test - last time I lost the camera I was more concerned with my cows..! Oh, and the occasional impossibility of transferring from Hi to Low box... These things are sent to try us! Do keep u[p the great Grenadier content Ingemar!@@grenadier_exploring
Hello Ingemar, I have one more question regarding the mounting of the AX27. I have the AX 27 and the Max awning from The Buschcompany and exceed the dynamic roof load even higher. I have also ordered the RhinoRack from Ineos and fixed it to the crossbars (3 on each side). That was quite a lot of work. And just taking it off quickly doesn't work. How did you mount your roof tent on your HGM rack? Thank you for your commitment. Wolfgang
A little suggestion for your car alarm issue. Instead of pulling the fuse (not circuit breaker, sorry I realize there may be a translation... thing) you can buy a fuse tap and wire it to a switch that you can merely turn on or off. Only problem is, where to place the switch and do you or don't you drill a hole for it somewhere? I have used a screw holding something else to mount a flat piece of sheet metal or plastic which then holds the switch.
Vielen Dank für deine Videos. Ich finde sie sehr hilfreich. Eine Frage noch zu deiner Outdoorkleidung. Von welchen Herstellern sind deine Hose und deine Jacke und bist du zufrieden mit der Qualität?
dankeschön!! Die Hose ist von Lundhags und die Jacke ist von Carinthia (das Modell MIG). Mit mit beidem hochzufrieden. Hab mehrer Dinge von denen. Bei der Jacke muss ich sagen es ist die Beste die ich je hatte. Hab nun auch meiner Freundin das neue LadyCut Modell davon gekauft weil sie immer meine an hatte 🤪. Ist nicht ganz billig aber unglaublich gut - kann ich aus tiefer Überzeugung empfehlen.

Thx a lot, i have the heating and knob problem. Hope that the knob problem will be fixed by Ineos. At the last service they only greased the mechanism… with no result 😢
as far as i know it‘s just the diameter of a small bolt. that should be fixed easily. in some early models they just filed them a bit and fixed it. sure they will solve it soon
Hi Ingmar, thank you very much for the insights. And as a lot of ohers I have the door know issue and the poort heating system. Is there any possibility to turn off the alarm function on the key? I am ahubter and it happened already three times that I turned on the alarm - so good for the boar not good for me.
Nice explanation of some common issues I've seen. Just curious, how to you like your Black Sheep rock sliders? I don't think Ive seen those on a video yet. Kind of expensive, but they look perfect.
One solution is to install Webasto/eber/mikuni aux diesel/petrol heater and make it run like additional heater. On my car, I can preat+ under +5c it beginst to work as additional heater.
Nice video. Re the maps, it’s a real shame Ineos did not install an Android infotainment system then you can have Google maps directly on the car system and sync accounts etc…. much more convenient than phaf with USB sticks
Android Auto should work so i can display google maps etc and sync your contacts! that’s what i do with Apple CarPlay. The workaround in this video is for the Basic Pathfinder system installed in the car (if you don’t have any cell coverage etc.)
Is in the HMI really a message when you do start the bleeding process? Either there is no message or I do something wrong to start the process. I do have the B57 Diesel engine
when I tried it, the messages were shown! But you never know with the updates if something changed (like the nice torque dirstribution screen that is gone now 🤷🏼♂️). Let me check it again once I am back home...
Ok thank you for checking 🙏 in this case I do something wrong. Lucky this weekend I’m at a grenadier Offroad meeting maybe somebody can show me how to do it 😅
Re Cooling System Bleeding Routine for Deisel: After 1.) 'Open Vehicle Hood', the next step should be to 'Open the Cap of the High Temperature Circuit'? Is that correct? Thanks
@@grenadier_exploring great info! :-) For the air to be expelled, it seems logical that the cap be removed ...I'm not surprised that this fact might have been omitted based on the editorial issues in the owners handbook..... Can you please explain what the "CCU" acronym means and what the "Vent 1" setting is? Thanks
@@grenadier_exploring Hi guys... CCU could stand for "Central Control Unit"... makes sense since this controller (in conjunction with the "software") is the central element that provides/executes/enables temperature control. May that helps...

thank you very much! I will try to produce more of them (was a little busy recently)
Thanks Ingemar. You just exponentially increased the usefulness of the GPS system… or my usefulness… one of those, anyway.😊

quite interesting. might not be activated by the key - will try to find that out. thx
as always, great info, clearly explained. Many thanks.
thx a lot
Very helpful..thanks
Wirklich hilfreich, deine Tipps, Ingemar 👍. Vorallem der Trick mit dem Ausschalten des Diebstahlalarms. Sowas hab ich gebraucht. Danke dafür.
danke dir!! hätt mir jemand vorm trip sagen sollen 😂😂

i hate this "panic"-function as well. was hoping to change the coding via an OBD-system once available for the Grenadier (or ask my dealer)

Re Cooling System Bleeding Routine for Deisel:

doesn‘t say so in the official slide i got! guess the hood needs to be open for the car‘s logic 👍🏻

"Vent 1" should be the Fan Speed
