Ineos Grenadier, do you reckon it'll take off?

But I agree. SuperDuty? Cat, meet pigeons.

They have said that the Ranger SD will be a more basic trim spec than the average ranger so no Wldtrack or Craptor, still better than an LC76/79 though.

How can there only be one spare engine in the world?

How can a brand import and sell a car in Australia and not have a spare engine in the country?

65K Seems excessive as these guys,...BMW M57 Defender Conversions – Drive-In, Drive-Out
– KINGPIN Fab a Puma to M57 for $42 500 utilising a used engine but doing a lot of ancillary work as well.

In the UK but with fully reconditioned M57 into Puma £ 30 000...

I can't actually find a new M57 engine online, used seem to be 3 to 4 grand, and reconditioned 6 to 7 grand.

I'm starting to wonder if they fitted a new engine, be a tenth of the price to fit a reco or rebuild it.

until the XLT model comes out later in 26

You guys should jump over to the Grenadier forum, the thread on the Cape York disaster I’d hilarious, a heap of blinkers on fanatics supporting and making a heap of excuses for Ineos
I have watched all of the videos from the trip and the ones detailing the breakdown
The fact Ineos and nobody is stating what actually failed is disgraceful, if it was my vehicle I would be demanding to know the details of the failure and certainly not just accepting the “environmental “ excuse

Sounds very similar to Landrover Owners forum.

Apparently some posts of the engine failure video have been taken down.

Not sure why an insurer would cover an engine failure unless it was an accident rather than a mechanical failure.
