As for the Astra being second best, I don't think so, much lower and nowhere near a Focus... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adzmcp Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Dealers are in the dark and just as annoyed. They want to register and tax cars ASAP and when Ford ain't making them it hinders sales. We have had plenty of 2.0tdci ordered and the builds been put back and back. Latest one we have now is Feb build !!!!!!! These were ordered months ago aswell. Don't even bother putting 2.0tdci with powershift god knows when these will be built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loz Cheung Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 it is a shame when ford have a big production line and output :( i know someone who ordered a range rover sport recently, about 2 months ago...? they couldnt even give them an exact date for when it would begin to be built! 'earliest will be january next year' and that would be a long shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuke Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hi, the thing is nobody overproduces cars anymore then stores them on a big field... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris This was the old ford way where their focus cars were stock piled in fields and customer ends up with nemerous problems as the car really is 3 months old for example !
