    Just got home with this! Due to collect this morning but delayed due to blizzard! Only managed the few miles from the dealers but will post some comments when I get chance for a proper drive. Must say

  • Ok, finally a picture, 8 months in the waiting.

does hill start assist work with auto start stop on ?

Hill start only holds the brakes for a second or two after you let go of the brake pedal, you'll already be in gear by then so stop start won't be active.

It only holds the brakes as you release them and move off.

You can't move off if you are in neutral. I don't know if it would hold them if you are out of gear, there is no scenario you'd need both systems active.

Spoke to my dealer today for my Titanium X 125PS. Won't hear anything before the end of April they don't think, so looks like ordering times are staying slow.

It went really fast on mine suddenly. Ordered the last week of december, 125PS ST-line with leather interior, and was said to be delivered by the end of march. Till February no production date was given, than it was said to be produced within 7 days and it was at my dealer 7 days later. Picked it up after 2.5 months, so not complaining here!

We don’t have the X model here, as I live in the Netherlands. It had all the options of the X version in the Uk though: leather, folding mirrors, large touchscreen, B&O and the panoramic roof. So I expected it to take a lot longer, but at once it was planned and delivered quickly afterwards. The dealership told me the leather issues were solved, and they delivered a car early march which was ordered in september. They even had owners changing their orders and removing leather... But well, that should be solved according to them!

Oh I see. are you enjoying it? what colour did you go for?

That's really useful mate, thanks.

My dealer said the leather is still causing delays.

If you park near your house it can pick up your home wi-fi and do updates even after you have turned it off

Received my V5C today in the post for my car. The car I don’t yet have and hasn’t arrived at dealer yet!? Hmmm supposed to be there by today but not getting an answer from them today.

We didn't receive out V5 until about a week after we picked the car up.

Yes we are connected to our home wife. Not sure if you can use your mobile as a hotspot, e.g. use your mobile internet or not.

There’s an option in the settings to turn auto updates off. I can’t remember what part of the settings it was in (not in the WiFi settings) but it seems to have turned that notification off for me.

ah okay brilliant thank you very much 

Has anyone who's ordered their MK8 with full LED headlights received their order yet?

I ordered my Titanium last December and will be picking it up next weekend but just learned recently that the full LEDs I so badly wanted back then are now available as an option :/

I'm looking to retrofit them one day (expensive but hey-ho) and would like to know how they actually perform. Any photos would be great.

Have ordered them on my titanium x 6 weeks ago

I don't know whether you found it yet, but in settings, 'system wifi' I turned  'Wi-Fi availability notification' to off and it stopped it searching.

Hi mate, have you got a delivery date yet?

No I ordered car in November and original supplier could not deliver so reordered 19th Feb and fortunately was able to add LEDS 13th March. Btw your spec is identical to mine except I have gone for moondust silver with black  roof mirrors and 16 inch wheels

Hi guys,

newbie here. Getting my 5 door Deep Impact Blue MK8 ST Line (140ps) delivered on Friday! Very excited. Snapped up a lease deal which had some in stock so can’t comment on any delivery delays but this seemed as good a place as any to say hi. :)
