Thanks @ajn for that, much appreciated!
@Ta152 – I feel your pain. Yeah I got one build date but that’s long past and I’m guessing meaningless. Tbh it’d make the whole thing less painful if the dealership communicated more instead of having to chase them up with no luck. I’ve got a mate who managed to get a Tiguan R from VW as it happened to be in stock and the same spec as their order. Wouldn’t mind that luck right now tbf.
