Wow! 3 weeks total shutdown, I’m surprised they haven’t offered massive incentives for people to go in during this time and try and get back on track - obviously they don’t seem to be that concerned about their numerous amounts of unhappy customers.

I doubt you would get the Dutch/Germans/French or Belgians to work those three weeks, they all head south at high speed for their holidays.
Dutch crawling with their caravans, French overtaking them in their Renaults & Citroen’s, Germans in their Mercs and Beemers overtaking the French and Belgian’s overtaking the lot of them!
I don’t think any amount of cash would break them of their holiday habits, those 35hr working weeks really take it out of you you know ;0)
XC40 | First Edition | 2.0 D4 AWD | Bursting Blue | 19" wheels | Ordered 11/03/18 | Delivered 19th October 2018.
While factory is down maintainace is done and also improvements on the line.
New robots and programming these. Only time that they can do that.
So it is not like there is nothing done only no car production.
Factory runs 24/5 at the moment I heard during my last factory visit in March.

Just a small recap on sc55s post of internal VCUK internal letter on build priorities from April.
“Sold orders will be prioritised in the following sequence:
• T3, T4 Momentum and Inscription
• T5 and D4 AWD First Edition
• T5 Inscription sold orders
• All remaining R Design (T3/D3 sold on/before April 17)
– if orders not accepted by factory, they will be held in a holding pool until production capacity is made available
– ongoing, only T5, T4 and D4 R-Design sold orders to be accepted into holding pool
• D3 (when factory ready)
• D3 AWD manual to be removed from offer
• Momentum and Inscription stock orders (only if required to meet production requirements)"
Quite a bit of talk of some engine variants not available but as far as I know it is only D3 AWD manual which is being removed. Everything else appears to be backlog of orders to be worked through. My D3 order is due at dealership mid July. According to above there was a window/slot for R Design T3/D3 orders to be built but if not in that pool then moved back down the order again. Lots of things affecting dates (date ordered, engine, transmission, model variant and trim availability + extras).

I’ve had a confirmed production slot for my D3 FWD manual in October having ordered in May. Maybe it was your configuration that couldn’t be done, as noted earlier?cosmic_dave wrote: ↑Tue May 22, 2018 10:45 pm D3 and T3.

I hear heated windscreens are now a problem. That explains the updated price list now listing two winter packs - one with screen, one with heated steering wheel instead.
Cancelled after waiting 3 months to be told delivery will take 11 months.
Can't imagine this demand affecting older orders as they know the demand and what's required so you'd think they'd have supply for them. Might be a restriction on the newer orders only
