I thought the underseat storage and boot net were removed a few months back? Hence why the flap at the bottom of the dash is gone? Even though the brochure still says they are standard in SE and above. I was told they became a £180 option called the 'Storage pack'... I ordered in Feb and was told they were standard then, as per brochure, so didn't order it obviously... but lots of people have not been getting them. Maybe its another Seat lottery! Will it or won't it? Time will tell! Lol

Maybe we'll have to pay extra for the steering wheel on the mk4... By then there won't be any other trim left for them to remove! :p

I think I now understand a little of what it must feel like to be a trainspotter, since I've been following all these ships back and forth.

But for anyone who has a bw20 car on its way, you might be interested to know that Galicia is now trundling past the Yorkshire moors, very nearly in to Tyne. Its due in in a couple of hours, where it will sit until tomorrow before making its way on to Sheerness on Wednesday.

So our wait may soon be over! There's a light at the end of the tunnel. And then maybe I can get a life again and stop staring at shipping trackers lol.

I am told my Cupra is on that ship and was build week 20. Mine is not going to Sheerness though its coming off at Tyne. So hopefully a week or so before those of us who have cars on that ship will take delivery.

Just had a phone call from the dealer, my car has been put back a week on the build schedule and they are now quoting 15 weeks from order.

At least when it was twelve weeks I felt better as I had passed the halfway stage, now I'm still a week away from being halfway there......lol

My car is due to arrive in Sheerness tomorrow, finally. If they manage to get it to me next week, it will have been a full 17 weeks from order to delivery. So I know how you feel Biker!

Strange isnt it how they seem to manage so many other orders in about half that time, but then keep some of us waiting for such a long time. There isn't much consistency with Seats ordering process, apparently!

Your cars currently going past Scarborough.

Think its to do with the options you order mainly

I thought options could slow it down but I ordered mine 31st march dsg red 5 door with sunroof and leather and mine arrived at Tyne last night which is 8 weeks to the day from.ordering. I think it's luck of the draw to be fair.
