It’s weird how some later orders seem to be being delivered earlier than some of the early orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peat Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Spoke with dealership this afternoon and mine (spec’d up Titanium X ordered 19 Jan) is still at New Flushing. Original ETA was 31/03, updates from dealership have been suggesting week ending 17/03 for a while but potentially during the following week now - he mentioned shippings from New Flushing are on hold just now and no cars shipping out of Dagenham this last few days. Hopefully that will resume soon. Another update next week sometime but still on track/slightly ahead of schedule for line still. As long as that stays true that’s not too bad for a mid-Jan order as I’m aware a lot of folks have been waiting much longer. I’d say to keep checking and nagging for updates and action, hopefully those delivery dates will come down but it certainly seems Ford is hanging out the Fiesta’s more quickly now. Surprised to learn that the shipments are on hold. The ships are still going back and forth and have been all week:https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/shipid:115152/zoom:10Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownMotoring Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Ah well, good news then. That was the message from my dealership but they could have been telling me anything. I guess the cars will just be stacking up and shipped out as and when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The normal system sounds pretty good to me using DAB radio or USB stick sources, though as my wife keeps telling me, my hearing's not what it was. My dealer tells me that they haven't had a single customer order the B & O option, the only ones they've sold were a couple of B & O Titanium's, and then only because that's all they could get from Ford. I was at the Fiesta launch events in Daventry and they had a Mk7.5, a Mk8 non B&O and a Mk8 with B&O. We had music aof all kinds playing, classical, pop, rock, techno etc etc. The non B&O Mk8 was so much better tha the Mk7.5 and the B&O Mk8 was miles better still. I listen to a lot of hard dance music so it's perfect for me. There's 675W of power in the B&O which is a massive upgrade over the Mk7.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peat Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 do they have 2 ships on just one and what are the names of them if there is two ?There are 3 - Undine, Cymbeline and Celestine. You can make a 'fleet' on that Marinetraffic site to see just them on the map like in my screenshot - but have to register an account in order to do that. Take a look at the recent arrivals and departures from Dagenham to find the 3 boats. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ports/1703/United_Kingdom_port:DAGENHAM#tabs-arr-depInteresting read: http://www.barkinganddagenhampost.co.uk/news/feature-inside-the-320million-shipping-port-of-barking-and-dagenham-1-4697750Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonson Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 6 hours ago, Mavroz said: How many were they supposed to have? Etis shows 7 speakers for ours without B&O. I feel sure when I ordered about 6 months ago the st line x had 6 Speakers same as st line...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavroz Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Will check again later Jonson, pretty agree I saw 7 Speakers on Etis yesterday when I looked. Only checked it as when we she signed some paperwork for car yesterday, there was no mention of extras we asked for but Etis shows them.

Jonson Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Brochure now shows 7 Speakers in the X, but I'm sure it didn't when I ordered, so it feels like a bonus to me. It makes me wonder how much of the infrastructure is in place for the b&o play option - specifically is there useable wiring in place in the boot for a sub ....? Anyway, looks like mine should finally be ready for collection 17 March, hope it's worth the wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simps100 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Got reg and Vin number today - had a look on ETIS looking forward to it now!

anyjungleinguy Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I wonder when they’ll add full LED headlights as an option? They’ve been spotted on photos of the new ST so hopefully not far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
