OK Brighty75 & SashaGrace (My late mother was a Grace & one of my great nieces is one too. 😁) Thanks for this info. Not overly clear on the handbook on anything! 😀 Will persevere and see what the dealers have to say tomorrow. -

Well guys & girls. Finally took delivery on Friday 10th January! Looks good but.......... 2 things missing on what is supposed to be SE L spec. Front Assist & Cornering lights! I can switch the Front assist on and off via controls but no sensors on front bumper! Will be contacting the dealers on Monday to see what's up. Grrrrrrr! -

Arrived this Wednesday 18th! Too late to do anything about picking it up as it has to go to a Mobility Aids specialist for a wheelchair hoist to be fitted and they closed midday Friday until 2nd Jan! Even the wife aint happy now! -

Wellllll. It is hoped that it being making an appearance this week. Hassled Skoda UK a bit. En route to dealers this last week. So let's see if it is in my mitts by Christmas. 🎅 -

Well. another week and last conversation with dealership is still at port of entry. (Grimsby). See how long it takes to get across the Irish Sea to Northern Ireland? A return trip of less than 24 hours. I read somewhere the other day that Skoda imported less than 1500 units (All models?) into the UK in November. So that is not even a full boat load! 😠 Why oh why does it take so long? (I know, I'm not the only customer but customer orders should take priority over stock vehicles!) Chances of a pre-Christmas delivery are looking slim. -
Perhaps they are S/M? 🤔😁😂😂

Wino. The speed at which it takes to get the cars here, definately! 🤔🙄😁😂

Great news Brighty. Just so long to make that journey. 😭 -
Obviously lots of eager amateurs on this forums but is there any actual employees of Skoda UK on the site, even incognito? 😉 Would be great to be able to answer some of the questions. 😁

Well folks, another week passed. Last heard of , still at port of Emden 'released to ship', whatever the hell that means! Did speak to a sales rep at my dealer last week who said they had hastened it and should be 'somewhere', not sure where by next Monday 8th December. Rather hoping for some positive news with a phone call tomorrow. Have chassis number, just wish we, the buyer could track it. 😁 -

Was it a factory build Brighty? Where in UK are you? I'm rather hoping ours will appear this or next week. (NI) -

Yes, sorry Kental. It is Grimbsy. Why I had Hull in my head? 🤔😁😂😂😂 -
And what about Northern Ireland dealers (not many!). 'Could' come up from Eire?

Me too (Well dont we all? 🤔😉)
