            If anyone is interested in the X Trail for delivery next month, Chorley Nissan have the following….

             

            The X-Trail is only available in automatic with 2WD andย with the 1.3 petrol engine and 7 seats.

            This would have an advance payment of ยฃ1,649.00 and provisional delivery times are currentlyย around the 18th June.

            With the diesel engine and a manual gearbox, there are 3 different options available.

            – 2WD with 5 seats (ยฃ1,499.00 advance payment)

            – 2WD with 7 seats (ยฃ1,699.00 advance payment)

            – 4WD with 7 seats (ยฃ1,749.00 advance payment)

            In terms of availability for these variations, we currently only have one 2WD 5 seat model immediately available, which is in the Picador Brown colour.

            We have the same model on order in either Black, Gun metal Grey, or Storm White and these are due in to us by the 18th June.

              I’m thinking of getting one of them that fit onto the rear view mirror, but have heard there may be issues with the ‘black box’ causing blind spots and also the angle of the camera is limited by the rear view mirror.

              Anyone had any experience of these?

              Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

                looks that way shawn – I got an email from my local dealer last night telling me the X trail was back – so it seems motability drop cars and bring them back on an ad hoc basis ๐Ÿ™

                    Good spot wmcforum its 10 cars on so cheer up the autos could follow soon

                    Wouldn’t hold my breath on that one as just checked Nissan configurator and they are not offering Auto DSG on ANY Diesel at all! Petrol only.

                      @ Zaheer76

                      I personally use a combination of CarWow and scouring the dealers sites. Some like the one Rico posted…

                      Marshall Volkswagen (Oxford Kidlington)

                      allow you to view their stock from their website like so…

                      Others (like my local VW dealer) require a more direct approach which usually yields quick results…

                      We currently have one physical car and two which are due within the next two to three weeks.

                      Physical

                      R Line Tech 2wd Manual Deep Black

                      Due,

                      R Line Tech 4 Motion Manual Pure white

                      R Line Tech 4 Motion DSG Automatic Indium Grey with Leather and Tow Bar

                      If you have any questions or would like to know anything please let me know.

                      I am currently chasing the one at Kidlington (cheers Rico) and will update with the outcome ๐Ÿ™‚

                        @ Rico

                        Thanks for that mate but I already did it – twice! and yes there is other stock but nothing in pure white (when I checked). So for now I am willing to wait and track the progress (hopefully, when it finally arrives it may come with some extra goodies as a result of yet another spec change – fingers crossed) ๐Ÿ™‚

                                  Thanks Wardy, that is the point I was trying to make. Dedicated thread on a sticky for dealers to tell us what is available. I’m sure if they are sincere they wont mind adding an email (as Kelly has done) for direct contact.

                                    Agreed it would be very helpful Iโ€™m sure.

                                    Mind you Iโ€™m guessing those cars are likely gone already?

                                          Here’s an idea, why not have this as a ‘sticky’ and invite sales people (such as Kelly) from any manufacturers to post current availability and offers. Surely this would be of interest to forum users looking for new cars and especially those not wanting to wait?

                                          What do you think?

                                                    It would seem there is an known issue after all.

                                                    Update from the VW Carnet support team.

                                                    Thank you for contacting Volkswagen Digital Services.

                                                    We regret that you seem to encounter some issues with Volkswagen Car-Net hotspot connection. However, we will be more than glad to assist you.

                                                    Since you have been able to create an internet connection with another device successfully, it would seem that you have encountered an issue that occurs with Android 9 mobile phones due to a change in the way they connect to the internet.

                                                    This is a known issue and our technical experts are working to resolve it. In the mean time, if possible, you can access the internet by using older versions of Android or iPhones. Thank you for your understanding and your patience.

                                                    In the meantime I have put the free 200mb Three sim in an old Huawei Mifi unit which works a treat
