Good Aj, doesn't get any better than that :D

I'm glad the mirror dip is sorted, dont know why they had problems in the first place as the way you've described the operation of it mirrors my 5 year old Golf Mk6 so it's hardly new technology.

Where do you acquire the exact the dates for the different stages of transit?

Happy motoring :)

Cheers mate, yeah its weird about the mirror saga but glad it is finally sorted :)

I was getting a little impatient and was wondering whether I would get the car before Xmas so I contacted SEAT UK CS a few times :whistle:

So SEAT UK CS gave me the details regarding the port info, I got my exact Build date from the link Labmousee provided in the 'What Build Week is my Leon' thread http://partsale.eu/parts-catalog/catalog/ESE517/

I got the rest of the info from my Dealer :)

Here is how long it took from order to collection for me to give new buyers an indication of possible waiting times:

Date Ordered: 15th Oct 2013
Date Car Built: 13th Dec 2013 (build wk 50)
Date Arrived at Barcelona Docks: 17th Dec 2013
Date Arrived in UK: 1st Jan 2014
Date Arrived at Dealer: 9th Jan 2014
Date of Collection: 14th Jan 2014

So for me it worked out about 3 months wait, but now I have the car the wait has been worth it!

Just checked back and going by the order form date (W48), I've a fair old wait yet :cry:

Hopefully the time will fly by mate :)

Have you been given an estimated build week yet? I would say that once you have a build week you will get the car within a month from that point.

Getting bored waiting for my car, I went to the Ford dealership today and a Fiesta ST is available within a week. Only problems, no climate control or 10 speaker sound system and slightly worse fuel economy. But a whole lot cheaper with the deal ford can give me, waiting for their final offer but potential could be 5000 cheaper to buy over 3 years. That's a lot of money to spend on fuel.

The Fiesta isn't the same 'class' of car though? It's a supermini vs. a small family car.
A more fair comparison would be something like Ibiza Cupra against the Fiesta surely?
