looks great i didnt think of getting silver but saw one the other day and the gloss black looks great against it kinda wish i had looked at one first

tried getting an update by my dealer is away on holiday for weeks and apparently no one else can look 🤣 Whens the next face lift or is it a new model next? my tig as a mk2.5 i think so guessing skoda do the same

so close, i've just had my dealer check and mines still showing bw19. I'm not sure whats changed to do this this time round ref Ukraine and semi, nothing has changed. This was the story we got told right at the start when it first happened.

so your build week is no longer? mines week 19 so 5 weeks time i'd be gutted if that dissapeared did your dealer inform you of this happening then?

so if you have a build week this will dissapear?

I've emailed my dealer to check on mine so will report back tomorrow hopefully. That said replanned in may not be a bad thing but could mean better build weeks (yes highly unlikely and it will be **** news but hey)

just had an update i have a unconfirmed build week of 34 i dont know whether to laugh or cry. its movement but 5 months away. If you walked into a show room and ordered i recon you'd get it quicker. This means 14 months from order to going into build

if my dealer started bleeting on about the situation in Ukraine and feeling sorry etc i'd tell him to **** off! ref other rangers affected you'd think it would indeed mean semi chips assigned to those cars going to models that can be completed surely.

i thought the same on my tig but its so you dont forgot its open because the blind is shut i guess

@Leon-y-k car looks great gotta be over the moon with that for sure! wheels look good. I like the running boards just cant afford or justify them sadly

wow you've done really well there nice one. Just highlights to randomness too

I think Spivo is saying when a build slot comes up, retail purchases are prioritised over fleet/mobility therefore pretty much anyone not retail has been buggered and not made aware of this!

my lease car VW now near its 3rd extension has thrown engine faults. Spoke to VW explained 10 months waiting for my new car to which they said they arent willing to help with any fixing costs and shoudli miss any payments this could affect my credit score for the next 6 years.. Cheers you bunch of ****ers

My dealer emailed me back and said I have just spoken to retail support and you are correct about the delay in production on fleet and motability orders this was a decision made by the brand at the first stage of the shortage of semi-conductors but was stopped back in August 2021 putting everything into production

nope for those who have access to the business offset but those wanting it as a family car the need for an suv its ridiculous for something the equivalent in toys as the sportline. I'm sure a poverty spec q4 etron is around 50k but thats nearly double what im paying for the skoda and i'm unlikely to save that difference in fuel especially as you say the rise in price of electric. I dont know what the answer is, its not like cancellign is worth it as this isnt going to go away for years! its all in a **** state and theres us who have unfortunately timed it the worst, its not even worth getting a second hand car given the price either

if electric suvs werent a joke in price id cancel and go that way given the price of fuel

should be able to request your SLI number from the dealer, i dont know if it has to be at a certain stage to be assigned one like order accepted by factory etc......

do we know if the Ukraine part manufacture issues have affected the Kodiaq? i know VW and BMW have said production has halted on certain models due to wiring shortage. I also heard its as bad as the steel for the car is sourced from Russia

i'm 31 order through my wifes work so retail but work scheme

i've not emailed my dealer for a weekly check i just cant be bothered to hear the same thing 😞

i pray and sure its worth the wait, but theres waiting and theres waiting waiting for some its now waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting

vrs models seem to be doing ok

thats great news what spec sportline have you ordered?

i've got digital dash and sun roof only. which even if they said these re holding it up i'd not sacrifice either

haha, thats my thoughts too. i think if i could go in and make more of a nuisance it may help but i cant. do you have a time frame in mind where you say enough is enough?
