Is anyone waiting on a Diesel?

Something strange seems to be happening with them.

2 users on the German forum have been told of a power reduction from 120 to 115 ps.

Also, the diesel isn't selectable on the UK site at the moment in the configurator.

I'm waiting on one (ST Line Vignale), it should be arriving with the dealer this week and handover to myself early next week. Ordered 17th Feb, I'll let you know as soon as I get it.. I'm taking quite a step down in power from a BMW 435D lol. 

Just got another call from my dealer, my car is being delivered to the dealership on Friday/Saturday and booked in for handover on Tuesday morning at 11 am. Will post up pictures once I've had it detailed next week.

After exactly 1 month from the time my car was produced, it finally was marked as "gate released". Meaning they finally got the missing bits mounted on it and moved the car from one parking lot to another.

Now it's just the wait to see how many months it will take them to actually deliver it... 😒

Mines has taken exactly one month from that stage to being delivered to the dealer, hopefully you shouldn't be waiting too long!

Evening Gentlemen & Ladies, ETIS is showing my car built as per the dealers confirmation. No idea on delivery yet though. 

For reference, ST - MG - AUTO - PERF. P - BLIS - DRIVER. ASSIS - ORDERED JUNE 2022. 

Finally picked the car up yesterday after the long wait! 

Stupid question but how do I know I've got Matrix LEDs? 

It's the only component I've not verified only order.

Just wondered if there is an easy way to find out without night time driving

Do they look similar to DRH07s lights pictured above?

There are a couple of differences between them, yes.

• Base LED have 4 small reflectors, the matrix ones have 4 projectors in total including the fog light that's positioned at an angle and are coloured in dark grey/black colour.
• Base LED have the DRL strip only on the bottom part of the headlight, the matrix ones have a DRL strip on the entire headlamp assembly. And as SausagMan said, it looks like drh07's headlamps

In the attached photo you can see what the base LED headlights look like. Hope I helped.

That's great. Hope you get a delivery date soon! Quick question, since you couldn't order a car in June, was yours an existing order slot? 

I ordered mine in February and still got nothing. Dealer told me 1 month ago that I should not be expecting it before February 2023 🥲

Good morning, yes it was in a pre-existing amendable build slot. 

The order was finalised 14th June 22.

Yes, got the DRL running all along the headlamp area but that appears to be for all titanium models from the 2021 Ford focus price list PDF

Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the info. In the meantime, I spoke with my local Ford and they told me that mine might be built on Dec. 28th, some news at last after 8 months of inactivity!

Not sure I'd want a car built by tired, hungover workers between Christmas & New Year.  

Hi. New to this Forum.

Ive had a quick look through this large thread and cant find ( or havent yet) my awnsers.

Ive owned a st Vignale since begining of august. A couple of things I wanted to ask. When reading ford website before ordering (and the press release cars reveiws) the information wrote that the car came with h.u.d and a reverse camera but mine hasn't? looking at other owners I have noticed some of the pictures posted show the HUD.  Did they change these to optional extras? 

When I select reverse occesionally the screen issuse a 'camera not detected contact your dealer' message. the screen is then inoperable until I actknowledge the message.

Thanks

Yeah, it was my first thought as well but then I remembered Ford's track record at estimating the build dates and got my hopes that it might get postponed by a couple of days (hopefully) 😂

HUD is an option, and the parking camera is part of the parking pack.

thanks. i wasnt sure. 

 

Do you have a camera installed above the license plate? You said something about a 'camera not detected' message popping up when selecting reverse gear. 

I find it very weird that a Vignale model would not have the camera installed by default. For example, in Greece, all the trims had a rear parking camera. The only difference was that the parking pack included a 180degree field of view (which still uses the same camera, just a different view).

Surprising news today! I got an email van the dealer saying they expect my car next week. First week of november I can collect my car!! 😃

I called them for more information and they told me it was build and complete (Joepie!). Planning a date in my calendar!!!

Ordered December 21, 2021. Estate Titanium 125 mhev manual, Fantastic Red, Winterpack, Familypack, Parkingpack

Pushback again for us waiting on diesel auto. . No idea if we even built  anyone any clue on what assembly offline means

Assembly offline means it's been built but not 'released' yet.  Could be waiting on parts or need a paint touch up or something.
