    My dealer Shukers Ludlow have been 110% and have kept me informed as much as they can, Unfortunately its a logistical issue.
    Apparently my car is in a queue waiting to get onto a transporter.

    Morning all,

    So sorry to hear you are having a nightmare with your dealers. I am sure they are lurking both on the D4 and D5 forums. Why don't you name and shame them?

    I did with mine re: my D4 a few years back when we first got ours and got an instant satisfactory response.

    Good luck and really hope you get some answers soon.

    Just wondering what you would be told if your car went through production on the build date but didn't get finished because there were bits missing.
    I have seen loads of cars parked at Solihull awaiting completion.

    I suppose its easier to blame/say its built but there is a transportation issue as opposed to saying its part built and is parked on a flower bed in Solihull awaiting the comfy 2nd row seats to be fitted.

    Thats my point and the most likely scenario, not down to transport issues, they have not sold that many Smile

    I don't have any communication issues with JLR

    They also want to keep you sweet Ken... certainly compared to the vast majority of other customers.

    I would rather be told there is a delay due to XYZ rather than its built and we cant deliver because there is transport problem.

    Exactly the same boat as you, built the start of the month, still no sign and I'm bored of chasing with no response and no answers - considering asking for my deposit back and telling them to whistle.

    Can you imagine my frustration!! mine is built, has been delivered, and has been sitting at the dealers for over 2 weeks and I still cant get a response on delivery Big Cry Big Cry

    Makes me wonder if there's an issue found and they are reluctant to release, alternatively, it could just be that they are incompetent Shocked

    I would walk in and say I want to see my car now. It could have been damaged.
