So hang in there folks - it gets better.

N.B anyone know how long it takes from calling for the car and actual delivery?

Can't exactly remember what the official time is, but my dealer said it's about 5 days or less, as LR want to get the cars to dealers ASAP as then they (the dealers) have to pay for them.

Will be checking on mine on Friday to make sure it's gone into build.

LR had set production schedules and rates, and this had not been met due to accident/fire/component shortage. This has bot all to do with demand. The fact is, they are not building to the rate anticipated. Therefore me, like many others are facing a delay, despite placing orders months ago.

The only impact this crazy 'demand' talk will have is that you will have to wait longer to get one, as per X3, Q5

This rediculous defence of the delays due to damand needs to stop. It's bloody winding me up. Not long ago LR was boasting about how many deposits/orders they had at launch. They can't have it both ways....

Well said that man. Totally agree, all demand does in increase lead times for new orders, it's mad to suggest that it would cause delays to current build schedules.

RE: Has your build/delivery date been put back?

I've shot myself in the foot slightly because I decided to change my colour from InduS Silver to Firenze Red after looking at the pictures I took at Goodwood in the Summer, so I can't complain about build delays because it's only because my car has been delayed that I've been able to change.

So, aside from the fact this is an SD4, this is what my car is going to look like...

I'm happy enough...

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR

Another delay for me Rolling Eyes

Build date was Nov 17th, then 'December', call from the dealer today - now Jan 12th. He mentioned a fire at the factory that makes the dashboards but was by no means using this as an excuse......

Pretty disappointed to say the least. The worst part for me is, if I was given a definate date I would be (kind of) happy but even the dealer said my date could well end up being February Shocked

One unhappy Ali.

Boo hoo.........Crying

RE: Has your build/delivery date been put back?

And me too please!

But interestingly I spoke to my dealer yesterday, who had originally said my car would be put back to late Jan/Feb. He is in contact with the factory on Friday and will be able to give a better view on my order then, they are now managing everything on a week by week basis but would be surprised that it will be that long given the wait I have had already! We talked about a loan car and said they haven't got any from JLR yet, but would be able to offer goodwill gesture once the car is built and he can look at the final time period of my delay.

Now Sold: 5dr Pure SD4 Man / Fuji White / Pano Roof / Tech Park / Style 6 Alloys / Privacy Glass / Xenons / Black H'lining / Power Fold Door Mirrors / Power Tailgate / Carpet Mats / Front Fogs.
