This week we’re lucky enough to have been loaned a new Grenadier by Ineos in order to begin our modification programme for the vehicle. It’s time to get it scanned and see what will work and what won’t work on the car as Si, Bic, Lenny & Reece discuss the best way to make our Urban ‘OEM Plus’ mantra fit the DNA of the new Grenadier. We also get Si and Lenny’s first impressions on the road on what it’s like to drive.
What should we do to the new Grenadier and how should we modify it? Let us know in the comments.

@@UrbanAutomotive dependa what you class as off road vs where the urban keeping up with the joneses type looking for on road performances not off road.. What do you from the UK and Euroupe class as off road is it some form of farm access road thar might see a srevice repair every 15-30 years dirt roads that haven't been maintained since they were cut into the landscape 200+ years ago... and this is why every european 4x4 vehicle manufacturer goes back to their prospective countries with tail fiar stuck up their arses because they get told by the local what they need to do to make it through an offroad.. this has happened in australia motor corps told: Mercedes, BMW, Land rover and the list goes on.. And they still don't learn what is appropriate for UK and European roads aren't applicable for africa, Australia and central/south america..

For those of us who have ordered and are waiting for the Grenadier, it was very encouraging to see how highly you rated it. No complaints about foot rests, wipers and vague steering but positive thoughts on handling and power. This from guys who have worked with all the top off-road marques from LR, Mercedes, etc, bodes well for us future owners. An analogue car in a digital world. 😀

@srspower Жыл бұрын

Why would it have been such a problem for the steering to have an offroad/onroad setting? And all the switches and the need to memorise the manual to do various tasks? It's like it was built as a throwback to the old defender rather than what the new defender would have been if Land Rover hadn't decided to build a SUV 'defender' instead.

@DanCollinsPhotography Жыл бұрын

I actually really like it. The only thing that bothers me is the BMW gear lever. Obviously I’m aware of the BMW drivetrain, but in a car like that, it needs a much more utilitarian gear lever. It’s fine if they’re using in a car like the Toyota Supra, but it looks out of place in the Grenadier.

@hughmarcus1 Жыл бұрын

I totally agree Dan. I’m dubious that the BMW engine will hold up to hard work. Ineos are marketing this as a tough work vehicle. LR fitted earlier versions of the 6 pot diesel & that didn’t go well. Why they didn’t select either the VW or Merc 3 litre diesels beats me. Both those have proven track records in commercial vehicles.

An idea for your light bar. What about a bar / tube that looks rugged similar to the side steps. Can bolt on somewhere near the side mirrors (fenders) go up the sides of the windscreen and across the top of the windscreen. The lights can be bolted onto the bar. Could be a neat / rugged design and will help with water catchment problems.

Also be mindful of some Customers wanting to use it as a weekend 'overlander', so it is likely to need rooftop tents fitted etc..So any mods to the roof for example, would need to take this into account.

Love the looks of this vehicle (except the tail light), and having it so sturdy, adds so much to it! Last step checked black tin was my favorite. Nice vid guys, seeing parts that will personalise the vehicle makes it even more attractive, this is what made the Wrangler such a success! Partnering with Ineos and providing them with optional mods could be the way to go, as it makes it a lot easier for the customers to put on from new, in stead of throwing stock parts away or store them and order separately... just an idea (must agree with you and Ineos of course). Great work guys! Looking forward to the next one :-)

Just a bit of feedback from someone who drives 4WD vehicles regularly in the Australian bush... the spoiler on the roof at the back will most likely cause vortices in the airflow which will cover the rear windows in dust. Lights above the windscreen result in poorer visibility closer to the front of the vehicle in dusty conditions, like when you're not the lead vehicle in a convoy, so it's more likely the driver will hit rocks and wildlife etc etc. I moved the spotlights from looking over the cab to back on the bullbar on my ute, it was so much better. Of course, if these are just cosmetic accessories for Chelsea tractors it doesn't matter.

Last car he bought was a disco 4 in 2015 and he wont buy another Land Rover and we have been a Land Rover family since 1992 even my daughter drives a 2005 TD5 auto, myself another disco 4. But due to where we live and how we live with dogs, sheep, horses and shooting we just cant use the new modern Land Rovers they just break when you need them most. Lost count how many times we have towed out a new Range Rover from fields, its sounds like an anti Land Rover rant but we have always love them but only up to 2016 then I afraid it was over for us.
