I have just heard those magic words "It's built and in transit" so the wait is almost over, delivery to me should be w/c 4th October and another SM will hit the road.

That is much better news than I have had....moved back to week 2 from 42

Sad news Mike, has Skoda given you a reason for the postponement of 12 weeks to built your Snow Monster?

You must have added something or changed your order ??? - good news for riocca tho, what spec did you order ??

1.2TSi with the DSG box only extras were the Park Assist and TPM, no sunroof as every dealer I spoke to said they could not take any orders with sunroof, but personally not a great fan of sunroofs anyway. I did have one on my V50 but it was never opened and most of the time in the summer the blind was across to stop the cabin getting too hot, and it was only postage stamp size. Test drove a 3008 with a full glass roof on a very hot day and the aircon was on full blast all day but the cabin never cooled down.

Which is exactly why I'd never ever buy a car with a sunroof that can't open. Park your car in the sun with the roof slighly open on tilt and the temperature inside is markedly lower when you get back. So much so that you hardly need the AC on to get rid of the heat. So even if you hate a sunroof and leave it closed all the time when you are IN the car, it is invaluable when you are NOT in the car. And saves you fuel too!

Is that forward 12 weeks to 2011? Did they give any reasons at all ? I was rather hoping for a build week of around wk 45 for mine

Think the problem is a shortage of DSG boxes again :( demand outstripping supply

Build week was 42 for DSG gearbox until changed colour and added columbus/sound/electric seat, so not sure that the DSG is the problem for me.

I was week 41 then added a DSG and electric seats and my build moved to week 44.

That explains things then, basically you have been given a new order; expect your original Monster may still go down the line but unassigned to a customer, unless it's been snapped up by a dealer/customer already.
