right finally after faffing about with the 29th feb order date and my motabilit online account blocking me we are there. monday i got an email from kia aknowledging the order of the car with all the usual guff of how to follow production etc.
but yesterday nothing on the mota side. i checked again this morning and lunchtime it had a system error so gave them a ring and basically they had no idea what was going on and advised i contact the dealer.
an way about 5 oclock i got an email from mota confirming the order even though i still couldnt access the account.
at least its all done now so i can relax till may 30.
