Hopefully while the Volvo factory is on its shutdown the component suppliers wont be and can catch up with backlog and perhaps build a slight surplus of parts ready for the restart in August

Have been told that I should be getting registration number today so feels like it's getting closer but no idea if that has any bearing on anything.

Did read a bit on the Volvo build process:
“Volvo works not only “just in time”, but also “just in sequence”: the parts – 3 million per day – arrive just a few hours before they are needed, and they are put in the right order before entering the assembly hall.”
The whole 6000 cars (unfinished in some way) on the car park thing probably really went against the grain as they are meant to produce one car per minute. Those 6000 cars would then have to be reintroduced to the process to complete and the probable consequence is a delay to other orders.

My dealer informs me after a few arguments with them above him that they are working through the shut down to get the 2500 cars with missing bits finished!
