Well supposed to get mine last Friday but got a call that morning saying the tax disc hasn't turned up the car will be along some time in the next week (which kind of got me suspicious). So today comes and I hear nothing so I call the dealer and say I've got meetings and that this week so it would help if I knew what day the car was getting trailered down. Get told ahh we don't know we're at the mercy of the DVLA here, we applied for the tax disc on the 21st but it hasn't arrived. Having bought quite a few discs over the years I know they rarely take over a week to come so I decide to call them myself and see if the disc has even been processed, turns out it had only been applied for today and won't get posted until tomorrow.

So going to wait until tomorrow morning see if they try to blame it on the DVLA again then let them know that I know they're talking a load of old pish and someone their end dropped the ball. It's not a huge inconvenience as I've still got their loan car I just don't like being lied to.

Are you sure DVLA haven't been tellung porkies? Still waiting on my £83 refund on the Scirocco tax disc, 7 weeks after I sent it. My dad waited 14 weeks for his. He'd been told that they'd sent it on 3 occasions and they must have gotten lost in the post. I was fed the same line - they supposedly posted one 4 weeks ago, but will send another out. So many cheques going missing? I think the DVLA like holding onto money for as long as they can.

Someone is bullsh!tting you, but it might be the DVLA.

I do usually take what they are saying with a pinch of salt but I can't see why they would lie about when the disc was applied for. It's still not appearing on the website so that would make me think that the disc hasn't been applied for or it was only applied for today like they told me.

on the boat finally! Tracker has moved to 10 days this morning so my guess is its on the Schelde Highway that left Emden at about 04:00

It arrived at the dealer 2 weeks ago, but decided not to put it on the road until Friday.  Only 20 miles from the dealer, so not as far to travel on its maiden run!
