Sick of waiting

It will require some pdi fettling, side runners bolted on and a (another) software update. The latter should be the last barrier to handover apart from paying for it.. Once it lands at the dealer, I’ll post a photo..

Hmmm ... what is "pdi fettling"? Another abbreviation I don't know!

PDI - PRE DELIVERY INSPECTION where the dealer prepares the vehicle before delivery.

My boys are on half term and were desperately hoping it arrived this week so they could “play” in it.. when I say “play” it meant blasting around rural Northants and getting it dirty and wet.. like the Mrs..!

Okay, what is half term?

 

[Trialmaster]

Okay, what is half term?

Ooh - you guys are bored now. School holiday - mid way through school term.

 

[Ever Pragmatic]

Okay, what is half term?

it means the half way point between the start of spring term in January and end of term at Easter.. Then it’ll be summer term and the cricket season…. Ready for the ashes tour for your boys to visit and get bested…!

 

[DaveB]

Mid term in Australia would relate to half way through a pregnancy so a bit strange for boys.

We have 4 terms here with three 2 week breaks and then in summer they have in this case from 10th December until 23rd January so about 6 weeks

I received a call from my agent earlier this evening to update me on my order. Although it was expected last week with a delivery/handover set for the 15th, it had not shown up as of today.

She has heard from IA today that it will land in the next two days. It will require some pdi fettling, side runners bolted on and a (another) software update. The latter should be the last barrier to handover apart from paying for it.. Once it lands at the dealer, I’ll post a photo..

All this said, it’s Ineos, so who knows what’s going to happen but that’s kind of cool I guess..

That sounds positive and good luck.
I have been crossing my fingers for getting the same call although i think my dealer is nervous of making the call to customers due to being let down before on the same.
They were however insistent that those customers that that have cars waiting in their forecourt already can't be handed over till March.
One point hopefully in your favour is some of the checks that those already delivered require an IA visit might have already happened before yours left Hambach.
Dealer fitting and PDI I am told is routine and can be done within a couple of days.
The dealerships are all prepped and can do software updates on site.

Please keep us updated and best of luck!!

I think that has hit the nail on the head, spot on .

One day I hope to be discussing how great my Grenadier is , and should I buy the Mrs a shorty version [ The Guardsman ???]

Roll on the roll out

Surely ‘Fusilier’ would be the go…?

 

[DaveB]

I took this picture of the car in front of me.
What kind of self respecting person could buy a car from a company called "Build Your Dreams", yes that is the name of the car manufacturer.
It makes the model name sound good ATTO3

 

[minidok]

reminds me on "built on purpose"

I got another invite to Victoria driveway (I live in QLD) but nothing on my vehicle production!!!

 

[Nocrays]

regarding those information the customer service is not reliable at all. I would not bet a cent on such a statement!

I lose track of the number of times I check email a day for an elusive Ineos email.

I’ll still a massive fan of the project but this lack of transparency is extremely disappointing. If anything it’s getting worse.

I cannot believe that there is an upside to their communication blackout.

Unless telling us the truth is actually worse than not saying anything.

 

[das mo]

Yeah.

If feels I should work on a plan B for summer.
Latest news on delays are troubling…

 

[Camskii]

I had plans for a high country trip in late April....that's now looking unlikely

"It is what it is"
An expression as annoying as "we are reaching out to customers"

 

[AnD3rew]

Almost booked for the Big Red Bash, almost booked an August Simpson tag along trip. Very glad I didn’t book those

 

[Trialmaster]

I'm impatient, after being promised, October, November, December, January, February. On March 1st, if they cannot give me a firm delivery day, then I will try to negotiate my deposit back.

You all might say, so "close", but I would say so "far" and I'll buy a Defender.

Everyone has their line where it's time to move on.

You thinking 2nd hand instant purchase or 12+ month wait for your own spec?

Unsure to be honest, as I would want the commercial variant in 90 wheelbase and I see they quote a year. But I can't tolerate the misinformation of Ineos and I worry about aftersales, imagine a problem with something major (which will happen to someone) and no one talks to you.
