    I think these sort of things have been around long enough that they’re known not to be an issue. The M57 in my old L322 is a 2002 mode with close to 300KKM on it now and those components have never had an issue. The current owner still says the engine has never missed a beat.

    You’d never own a new vehicle these days if you thought plastic wasn’t up to the job.

    Would be good if u have a look underneath to see if there is room for extra Fuel Tanks / Water Tanks? Not sure what the OEM tank holds but would be curious to see if there is room to fit a Long Range fuel Tank...


    Also, just curious here but the rear bashplate at the rear of the car - it looks like it could become a problem offroad or soft sand beach driving - what does it protect? Fuel Tank or exhaust?

    TESTING EXPERIENCE
    You'll have the chance to meet the INEOS Grenadier team, have a look at the vehicle up close and you'll accompany our pro driver in testing the vehicle.

    I just tried to register for this at the NSW sites but got the message that 'no time slots available' at either site or on any of the available days.
    If this is what you booked in for Toombie, you were very lucky &/or faster than me. Maybe not as many interested in SA.

    Has anyone else tried the NSW locations and been successful?

    Very interested in your thoughts - While I won’t be first in line I’m seriously looking. Maybe after a year or so of production when the bugs are worked through and some sort of verdict is in. Ineos Grenadier, do you reckon it'll take off?

    The 'brochure' arrived in my inbox this morning . On a "quick" read,
    * "heavy duty underride" protection listed as an optional extra... see below
    * three diff locks standard equipment
    * No specs on weight or fuel tank capacity. I'm surmising these are issues which will be finalised post testing completion.
    *800mm wading depth, 258mm min ground clearance

    They point to a strengthened ZF 8sp auto ; with the diesel putting put out 183kW /550Nm, vs 211kW/450Nm for the petrol.

    Re. accessories: "...There is a wide range of accessories, including winches, towbars, bull bars, lightbars, side runners, interior and exterior utility rails, roof storage systems, heavy duty underride protection, auxiliary batteries and even a power take-off, 2,000W with domestic plug sockets...."

    No 'rides' in Qld until they're allowed across the border...

    Diff locks are a tick box option in the build site.
