Mavroz Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 The dealer where we collected our car from would have turned the car around in 2 days if we had needed it but they had 4 as we couldn't collect until the Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavroz Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I guess the extra hassle is going through a 3rd party leasing company. Seems a lot quicker dealing with the dealership direct. Didn't you consider leasing directly through the dealership instead of using a middle man lease company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't you consider leasing directly through the dealership instead of using a middle man lease company? yeah i went in and got my different quotes, but the leasing company im dealing with now gave me the best prices. It is also one of my best mates dads business. I dont think it would have made too much difference, at the end of the day, it is still just an order through a dealer, it is just annoying the fact that I cant talk to the dealer directly to express my frustration and get something done abbout it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackhoppkkins Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 does anyone know what the liverpool vehicle holding compound is or how long the cars are stored there? I assume its just a compound in which the cars are stored at before being transferred to the dealers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavroz Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Don't know how long they can store them there but ours went from Dagenham to Liverpool by train and then from Liverpool to the dealership by transporter in less than 5 days if I remember right. I guess it depends on how long it takes to fill a transporter that will go to various areas as I don't think they will send a transporter somewhere with just one or two cars on it, they will want it filling for drops en-route at least I would have thought.

It was built 29th May, with an original ETA of 23rd June, but all STs are being held at the factory and not released for transport till they replace some sub standard part so I've read. No idea when it will be now, need to wait for factory to release it Oh and I ordered it in white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackhoppkkins Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 nice, hopefully they'll get it out soon as no doubt demands for the new ST are quite high too, so they will want to get em out asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigabit Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Will get some photos of the headlights as requested. Driving it relatively "carefully" with eco on, says I'm getting around 45MPG at the moment. Hoping that goes up a bit more as it has been climbing (started at around 30). How do I activate the eco award thing I keep hearing about? I was going through the settings and one of the safety features was set to left hand traffic so I set that to right hand - assuming that was the right thing to do? The only issue I'm having is what seems to be a delay between the car starting and the USB ports getting power. It can be a solid 30 seconds to a minute before they start working. Could be a defective cable mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavroz Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 On the Mrs car there is a button near the gearstick to turn the Eco Mode on and off. The Usb initialises straight away, that is connecting an iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
