Hi all.
Had an e-mail from Lombard Vehicle Solutions today that my 180D R Sport Auto has a delivery date of 27/11 now back from 11/9! Must say decision to go with XE was from the heart and not the brain as a C300 Hybrid and Lexus IS we're both better specs and less tax.
Actually my first choice was New (NEW) XF but dealer told me the earliest delivery on that would have been in November so to avoid such a long
Wait they said go for the XE Ha ha!
Ramifications are that my company are not too happy about this and had to fend off requests to cancel the order! Heart still rules!
Just seems like JLE are struggling to cope with a new phase in their development, i.e. A bit of volume. I have read on the site that delays are because of unexpected demand for petrol engines, well my engine 180D was always going to be the most popular, so this disproves that theory,
Would be really interesting to know (if there Re any brave JLR employees reading this) what the number of orders received are and the forecasted orders and the weekly production target is.
Anyway I suppose I have N early Xmas present to look forward to!
