Hi,
As my present lease finishes in March 2019 I was able to order on 2nd January 2019 a Peugeot 5008 SUV 1.5 BlueHDi GT Line Premium 130 Auto from my dealership. However he now says the car will not be available until 30th June 2019, is this a reasonable waiting time? Motability themselves say it normally likes car orders processed quicker than this, and indeed my current Ford Galaxy came through in 10 weeks in 2016. Any feedback is welcomed 😉

Hi Clee-dou,
Thanks for your info, like your were I’m somewhat uneasy with Peugeot at the moment to say the least.
I actually had the VW Sharan HDi 2.0 back in 2013 and unfortunately I’m a little put off with VW cars in consequence. It broke down with just 40 miles on the clock and waited 3 hours for their breakdown service. It was towed back to the main dealers and remained there for a week, not a great start. When the car was 6 weeks old I was on my way back from Leek, near Alton Towers, at 10pm in the evening and with my 86 year mum-in-law, wife, and grand-daughter on board. I was travelling on the country roads towards Congleton when it broke down again and couldn’t get it started. I had no signal on my iPhone so my wife and grand-daughter had to walk about a mile on unlit roads to a private house and ask for help. They were very sympathetic to our situation, phoned the breakdown services for us and even drove my family back to the car. What wonderful people. We waited about 2 hours for the recovery van who then conveyed us home and thereafter delivered the car to the dealers, all this at 2am in the morning. Once again the car was in the dealers for days. The car was never really right all the time we had it, it persistently went into ‘limp mode’ for no reason,(no fault found by the dealer), the fuel gauge dropped to empty when the tank was nearly full, the engine management light came on constantly. Also at the most inconvenient times the DSG gearbox refused to change up or down, the pre-heater system constantly kicked out paraffin smelling fumes which entered the car and made us all sick, plus many other problems which are to numerous to mention. It became apparent from forums that the Sharan, its engine & associated bits were prone to similar failures and thus my wide berth of them now. I’m sure your SEAT torraco 2.0 tdi will be fine, but for me I cannot draw myself towards it’s brand even though it’s a cracking car by all accounts and reviews.
Best wishes, and happy and safe future driving,
Thomas
