So how do you know if your car is on a boat and which boat?

You either get told, or more likely, when the tracker changes to 10 days then you look at the ships that left the day before and guestimate which one yours is on based on your nearest port.

So the tracker actually changes while showing the 'in transit' icon?

Yes, 3 stages to In Transit - 4 weeks (means its left the factory), 3 weeks (means its sitting in a car park in Emden) and 10 days (means its physically on the boat).

For those Emden car park campers like me, the Schelde Highway left this afternoon for Grimsby - so if you're on it, you should see your tracker move to '10 days' tomorrow.

The Autorunner will be docking sometime in the next few hours into Emden, so expect that to leave tomorrow - this is also a ship VW use.

Cheers matchboy. Never know any of that!

I will keep tabs on the tracker then. :-)

I expect it to change around the weekend.

Fingers crossed Matchboy! Mine's been sat in Emden for 5 days now.

My dealer is in Cardiff... does anyone know which UK port their deliveries will come from?

As I'm sure people are tired of reading my GTD has been there since 05/09 - 8 days today.

Fingers crossed my car is on there.
