Still in finishing after a 9 days!
Ok, i ordered my Evoque back in March and the build date was 20th August near about and due date was 1st September in time for the new plate.
As of today my dealer still doesn't have the car. Where on earth is it and what does "finishing" mean exactly?
I haven't ordered anything special, Firense Red SD4 Pure +tech, Camera, Fogs, Power mirrors.

RE: Still in finishing after a 9 days!
It means that the QC guys have found build faults....................................... often these are paint defects
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Good jb any defects were spotted at the factory but it would probably be worth going over the paintwork very carefully at handover

I guess it is a good job that they found the faults before handover. Its just annoying as the car is due to be with me for the 1st September, and I lose my car tonight.

RE: Still in finishing after a 9 days!
Just had an update from my dealer. Apparently LR are waiting on a part. This is holding up deliveries for PURE and possible Prestige models!!
Is this BullSh*t to fob me off or a general shortage of parts?

Perhaps not if they have ramped up production (and we know they have recently gone to 24 hour working)
It is quite feasible that they might encouter supply issues as there suppliers also try to step up production to keep up with demand.

The build date for my Pure recently slipped from early October to mid November, so maybe there are some supply issues?
