Yeah, I will, but my cut off is beginning of March for my current lease. I'm certainly not hiring a vehicle indefinitely, although I do appreciate that things may improve. There's still loads of other cars available out there in stock for lease with decent terms too 👍

The leasing company send a monthly update. It's not moved from there from July. I'm literally at the point of cancelling it. Lose money, OK, but I'm not waiting another 5 months for a bog standard car. Octavia Estate 1.0 tsi no options.

Ordered end of July 🙄

That looks like a miraculous result! Nice one 👍

I wonder if this is the opposite for lease companies who order huge amounts vehicles, but are generally standard spec with no options?

Anyone thinking of a new order might as well wait for the Mk5 🙄

Absolutely.... I think that my July order will be past my current lease, expiring April 2022 🙄

I think Matrix headlights are completely unnecessary. I'm all for decent illumination as I live in the sticks, but come on, really? How did we all manage before.... 🤔

Lease dealers have you over a barrel in some ways. I paid an admin charge (£180) for the initial order and if you cancel once they've ordered the car, it's £360 cancellation fee. I don't fancy losing £540 to pull out. Guess it's a wait and see next year. Ordered 30th June.

Yeah, I agree. I'm looking at end of April because my current lease ends there. With any luck, I'll be OK.

It's unbelievable really. It's not as if we're ordering a Lamborghini with a bespoke interior 😂

End of June.

Looks ominous.....

Probably explains why I've hardly seen any new Octavias on the road..... 🙄

June...... 🙁 1.0 TSi

I've had a response from the leasing company dealing with my car. It states that the orders for many cars have been heavily postponed due to a "global shortage of semiconductor microchips which is currently causing issues in production for all the brands that we deal with" Looks like a long wait.....

I'd say the 3 cylinder engine needs as much air around it as possible. I wouldn't fit one.

Just checking, is the virtual Cockpit only standard on the SE Tech and above? Cheers

Cheers guys 😎👍

Hi, Anyone know if the Mk4 wheels have the same offset as the Mk3? Just interested as I still have a new set of Mk3 VRS 18" alloys. The model in question is the SE Estate. Cheers

Hi, Tried to search for information regarding the adaptations for activation of the cornering fog lights for my 2019 VRS 245 with LED lights and fogs. There is information on the obdeleven site, but only for cars with standard fogs (not LED) Sorry if I've overlooked something, but can't even find an option on the VW Golf forums either.... Cheers
