sun87 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 So good to hear more cars are arriving! I've just emailed my dealer on the back of these messages. The latest update I had was on 1st November saying mid-December delivery. I ordered an ST-line on 8th Feb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed my dealership 10 days ago or so based on some people's movement on here (and subsequently further progress for some!) And yet to hear back 🙄 I've been working nights this week so I haven't had a chance to chase them up. I ordered 9 weeks ago and haven't heard a word as of yet from them 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sun87 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Just heard back from my dealer. My delivery date is also 17th December. A few of us with the same date then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverob Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Had an update on my car. It has arrived at Dagenham rail terminal. Next step is to transport via rail to Liverpool then on to dealer. I've just been told by my dealer that the trains in Dagenham have all been taken out of service because an inspection of their couplings revealed a few of them were about to fail. They've taken all of them out of service for safety reasons. Ford need to get new couplings but there will be a delay getting hold of them. When will this ever end? 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IL Dotore Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I finally got the car, almost slept in it. 😅 Too bad it's almost winter here and I had to park it in an underground garage (long term). Hopefully I will have the chance to take it out before spring. In the mean time I'm tinkering with Forscan. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz-UK Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Hi all. I’ve been following the thread each week and seeing what has been happening. I finally picked my new Focus up on Saturday from the dealership and I love it. I ordered mine in Beginning of December 2021. I’ve got an Agate Black, 155, 7 Speed Auto, Titanium Vignale with Parking and driver assistance pack. My Ford dealer has been amazing and always kept me well up to date. I just need some nice weather now to drive it lol 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz-UK Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Hi all. On the new Model Focus now, the glovebox doesn’t actually come with the tray part. ive ordered one, but It seems to be Ford cutting back on things as Isoflex seat plastic covers are no longer with the car as well. Oh and engine cover on mine is no longer present too. seems a shame there cost picking that much. Does any one know of lining for the glove box as well?

IL Dotore Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 From where did you get the tray part and also the documents enclosure you have there? (none of these came standard on my Focus any more) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was wondering if it was just mine that didn't come these covers. How much would that have costed Ford to produce? 5 cents each?

Plimp92 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Still waiting the car, but I'm at shipped stage and I have a question for you all. The ford app changed some weeks ago after it was built, and an activate vehicle button appeared. Pressing that just bought a spinning circle endlessly. It changed again today and activate vehicle now took me to another stage where it says start the car and accept the message on the touch screen. I saw on the German forum, some users could see the location of the car before it arrived. Anyone else have any experiences similar to this?

agraham Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Yes, very similar on a Fiesta I received 4 weeks ago. You need to be in the car to activate it, the dealer salesman should help you on collection - it seems to be something they are incentivized to do, at least mine was. He asked me to keep the modem on for at least three months or he gets nagging emails from Ford. Don't know about the location though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IL Dotore Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Same for me. I could add the car in Ford app long time before delivery. But you are actually connected to it only when you do that at the delivery with your phone present in the car. So app is pointless until delivery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plimp92 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Makes sense. I wanted to see the car travelling through England on its way to me. Guess that's a little optimistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual with things like this, 5 cents might not seem a lot to you, but times that by millions of cars they produce then it starts becoming a lot.

Lou013 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 It's maybe unrelated to economical reasons as well, back in the days engine did not have plastic covers (I don't even know what's their purpose tbh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plimp92 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 They were added for further refinement. They have foam in to absorb the sound waves which would normally hit the underside of the bonnet and be slightly amplified by it. Sometimes thermal management but not so much. Sometimes to protect the vulnerable components on the top of the engine such as injector connectors etc. Not essential, so deleted for cost reasons to the detriment of the above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
