Thanks Kezo, we ordered on Tuesday (7th Nov) but nothing showing yet other than the message saying the application was approved and that the date will be shown once confirmed by the supplying dealership.
Probably overthinking it slightly, we have unfortunately landed in a situation where our current car may not get through another MOT without significant (and costly) repairs and a very tight timeframe based on the indicative lead time that we were advised on Tuesday so hoping that they have ordered straight away and it’s just a delay showing at our end.
