Build week 23 I think someone already remarked earlier that a few manual st,s were allocated for the same week.Just as a point of reference I ordered through forces cars direct on 20/03/18 Pullman seat Sunderland being the supplying dealer
Seat customer services is [email protected]
I'm not aware of a different customer services team
Fleet/VWFS [email protected]
Is one of the addresses to talk with the contract hire team.
There are other addresses for fleet but it's generally easier to call and anything you want in writing ask for or follow up with an email.

So we have had an update from the lease company confirming what we already knew that we will get a MY19 290 due to the changes in emissions. The price is guaranteed and there was talk of compensation (no figures) once the delay was over 4 weeks.
Apparently there are 900 cars that are impacted by this (presuming all cupras?) and we have an order number so we can chase Seat direct once it gets nearer to October.

Do we know what the MY19 changes are? Is it just the engine?

I would be wanting compensation on the basis the car isn't what you ordered as its not the same spec (10bhp less). I ordered in February if they don't deliver till September I'll either cancel or want some money back
Had a brief look online but cant see anything, someone else posted this link that seems to suggest that there will be new models
https://www.forcescarsdirect.com/new-cars/seat/leon
2.0 TSI 290 Cupra LUX [ez] 5dr DSG
2.0 TSI Cupra 300 LUX [ez] 5dr DSG 4drive
As well as the current options,
2.0 TSI 290 Cupra [ez] 5dr DSG
2.0 TSI Cupra 300 5dr DSG 4drive etc.
All have specs on them but presume they will just be the 300 ones as Scroog? (sorry if I have that wrong) said

Hi, new member as reading with interest for the following reason. Have just placed an order with a Contract Hire company for a Leon ST Cupra 300 4drive DSG. Have an update (SMS text message) saying it will be with dealer by 28th January 2019. The discussion with the contract hire broker before placing the order was around the potential long build time as Seat work out how they handle the emissions issue coming up in September. However, I now am worried that I won't get what I ordered. What to do?
The 300 can't pass the emissions standards that kick in on September. They are dropping the output by 10bhp. So the car will be a 290 as the 300's will end production.
So same as I have now, just with added 4drive and the dsg box. Need to see the performance figures before I decide to cry into my coffee or not!
Sorry but thats not the case. Scrogg has already stated that the only cars affected are the 300 Hatch, manual and DSG, which will be dropping down to 290ps. The 4 drive ST will still be built with the 300ps version.
I thought it was understood that the 4xdrive was going to remain at 300bhp but the 2xdrive was going to have to be reduced to 290bhp?

As posted here on Saturday the ST is unaffected by MY19 changes and WLTP and remains 300PS.
Only the 2WD versions will be 290PS.
I really wish people would stop posting incorrect information as fact and confusing people.

Will I still be able to dash to 62 in less than 5 seconds? I'm getting old, my kids are growing up and this could be my last chance to misbehave?
