Received email today confirming my CS is now locked in for build week 33 - commencing 15th Aug
Was the update from Arval or Inchcape?. I spoke to Inchcape and they were surprised that anyone had got a build week from the batch. Hope there is good news for everyone to come.

Inchape themselves.

"The good news is your vehicle is now confirmed for build or as we say status 20 for build week 33 which is the week commencing 15th August 2022. I would allow 6-8 weeks from this build week. Please see Below"

Is your car still coming from Cheltenham as I understood that the deal that I thought we were all on with Arval is from Stockport - could it be we are in different order locations?

Definitely Cheltenham for me. Have to say I am filled with a lot more hope now. Thanks for sharing Simon.

Yeah wasn't keen on the design of the 18s. Ride will be firm but that doesn't tend to bother me.
It probably makes more financial sense to buy aftermarket 19s so you at least have the resale value after the lease is returned.

Have this in mind see how I go on the standard wheels and then maybe change to some aftermarket. We will see.

Nope, mine still January - ish. I'm dealing with Inchcape Cheltenham, you'd think all these cars would be built fairly close together if they were part of the original order but seems not

It would seem not! I am still hopeful these will align with Simon’s car and have a build week close to his. With Cheltenham too! It’s getting tedious now TBF

Nothing new here - update is the same so build week 33, which is the week commencing 15th August 2022 and then expect circa 8 weeks until it's at the dealer. Think this is a bit optimistic given the cars are generally being 95% built and then await the semi conductors etc
Have my 840 till early Nov so have a bit of flex but not a huge amount

Called last week and no build date so I am working with it being next year and anything before then is a bonus. It’s a joke TBF

I got a call from the VW dealer I normally get my lease - having been getting fed up waiting I thought I would get them to give me a quote on something - VW Golf 1.5 Life 1+35 standard - almost £390 per month on 5000 miles so maybe worth holding out for this to see if it ever comes

Yeah I've thought a couple of times to just go with something else, but when I see how much extra I'll pay for something boring, I decide it's probably worth the wait, frustrating as it is
