    Welcome Teemo

    No mention of the electric towbar shortage?
    Is there any truth in this?

    2017 Discovery Td6 HSE Lux Aruba

    I've been told I can have mine in April with a detachable tow bar, June if I want electric, and I put my deposit down in early September!

    I've ordered an HSE Lux in Aruba with the Dynamic pack inside and out. After a lot of back and forth, have chosen the Nimbus interior. Have put a high spec on it because you only live once !!! Have yet to see a single picture of one in Aruba, so I'm figuring it's going to be a fairly rare sight. Getting a bit excited !

    Car was ordered through my work scheme so I've had very little dealer interaction. Car will be supplied by Lookers Fleet. I'll give them a ring and ask about potential delays as the manual tow ball will be fine - I can live with occasional dirty hands and knees!

    I should say it will be rare! Just googled Aruba its only 19 miles long. Shocked

    I will contact my dealer to find out why someone in the Caribbean is getting one earlier than me! Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

    Just heard from Lookers that they are still expecting delievry on 21/4 - they have had no indication of delays due to the electric tow bar.

    Car due at dealer late this week/early next. I should have the car by end of next week or early the following week, so almost bang on the original delivery estimate of 21/4 (hopefully with a working electric towbar).

    So a bit of a delay.... but not the end of the world.

    Car is now confirmed at dealer (Lookers Park Royal) getting its PDI.

    Will be delivered on the 15th. Thankfully dealership is over 100 miles from home, otherwise they'd have driven it to me rather than sticking it on a trailer.

    I look forward to posting some pics and reviewing.
