Just had an email from my salesman after I emailed him a scan of my drivers license so he can arrange the 5 day free insurance and get the R taxed when it arrives (just me thinking ahead, he hadn't asked for it).

Was expecting him to be off today, but he's emailed me a screen dump of his system showing that it is still awaiting clearance at Tyne. He says that as soon as it is cleared, he will arrange for it to be collected rather than wait for VW UK's appointed transporter to deliver it.

If Only VW AG provided a level of service that attentive.

Taking an ages to clear customs, surely they dont check every inch of every car. I am tempted to call VW UK and see if they can tell me where my car is because the tracker is clearly useless.

Usually takes 24-36 hours to clear Customs. My dad's GTD arrived at Tyne late on a Thursday night, cleared Customs on the Saturday morning and the dealership sent a trailer to come get it. He was driving it on the Saturday evening.

There was another ship to Tyne today Diehammer, perhaps yours is on it (probably not if my wait is current standard Tyne shipping time).

Although the marine traffic website has no mention of it coming from Emden:-

Very nice, and worth the wait I hope  :cool:  Going to give it a spruce up yourself when you've brought it home?  Did you decide to get any detailing stuff?

Hi all,

Yes its been put away. The dealer brought it out to the front to show me. It's having its PDI tomorrow so fingers crossed for Thursday but this week is going to go soooo slowly.

Work has been beyond crazy so haven't had a chance to look at detailing stuff yet. I need to go and have a look.
