Motorprovider Week 30 build slots

[John007]

I was wondering if anybody who has a car on order from Motorprovider who was told that it would be built in week 30 has followed it up with VW.

I called Motorprovider on Tuesday to see if they had heard any thing, I was informed that they know nothing and do not have reason to think that there will be anymore delays.

Hiya

Last time I chatted to them i was 15th in the list, the first 5 had been delivered to the dealers and mine was thought to be in transit between the factory and the dealer.

Anyone else heard anything?

Hi Guys,

   Well i've not heared a thing from Motorprovider since the letter explaining the delay, and to be honest i've been away at sea working and not had a chance to call them.  i do recall them saying they will contact me 2 weeks before I can collect the car so i was not expecting them to call me for another week or so.    I just hope they don't start messing me around over the next few weeks cos my pacients will start running thin...

That sounds promising,

I will call them again next week to see if they know anything new.

I was never told where I was on the pecking order, knowing my luck it will be around the 100's

Contacted Motorprovider this morning.

They have informed me that my car has been built   (At Last).

They will contact me upon shipping, still sheduled for early September, which by my calculations is only 3 weeks away.

I will be counting the minutes.

Same message for me confirmed today.

I think I'm at the front of the queue (ordered 1st Feb) but they told me no cars had arrived in the UK yet.

Early September sounds a bit vague to me but I've been promised a call as soon as it's shipped out of the dutch dealer.

Fingers crossed

Spoke to MP this morning, car has now been definately built and its due to be delivered to dealer in Holland for PDI, delivery looking like 2nd week in September.

Have a dilema concerning a cherish number transfer, mot expires the 29th, don't want to renew, MP suggested putting the number on retention, rang the DVLA they said as long at the vehicle was not been used on the road and delivery/collection was to my home address, then an expired certificate was fine.

Anyone else have any experience of doing this?

Thanks

[John007]

 Thanks for the update, 

2nd week in September  , the wait is killing me.

I put my plate on retention when I sold the car back in June, Cost £80 but this did include the transfer fee.

Make sure you insist on an English manual before paying (otherwise you will get the Holland one).

Call me cynical but I can't help but think that MP would be better off if the cars arrived after the Sep 1st rush. I can't imagine that they've got enough space here to move all these cars  - I'll put this to them tomorrow as it's now week 34, 4 weeks after build week and no confirmation of any PDI's being carried out.
