b) my original above mentioned salesman at Marshalls Volvo Nottingham, has left without so much as a handover or parting email to myself
Which salesman is that Dave? I ordered my FE from Marshalls back in March and have had no feedback at all from them since. Very disappointing...

Ouch! What have you done to upset your dealer? When you say "Geartronic" is that the automatic version? Mine's similar spec to yours, D3 Inscription Pro manual. Ordered in May, expected end Oct. and now moved a couple of days back to early Nov.. I'm surprised yours has moved so far back - and it worries me!

Delivered 6th November 2018
XC40 D3 Geartronic Inscription ordered through Arval lease 01/06/18 with delivery 02/02/19. now delayed until xx/05/19.
if I would have know 11 months was required I would have ordered something else. Cancelling the order would result in 10% penalty.

Hi Constance88. Wow, that is a silly date and would have thought that the XC40 delivery issues might have started to ease towards the back end of 2018. Also, interesting that not an R Design where most of the issues have been to date. I guess a lot will depend on what you have in writing and if they gave you a delivery date in writing to kick off with. This article gives a bit of general advice https://www.whatcar.com/advice/buying/d ... e-control/ but I guess it depends on the Ts and Cs you signed up to in the first place.
D3 R Design. Silver. 19s. Tow-bar. Ordered 1st March. Delivered: July 10

I did express my dissatisfaction but the dealer is on leave for a week. The postponements pose organizational and financial problems. I am waiting for the dealer's response to his return but I do not have much hope given the experience of members of the forum.
This is the 8-speed automatic.

Ordered T4 geartronic, bursting blue, R-Design 3rd week of Jan this year, delivery estimated by end June. Only found out about delays when I contacted the salesman, no info volunteered. Production date shifted in schedule from week 16 to week 46 (w/c 12 Nov)! Am now on my third loan car and have paperwork for it validated until Jan 2019 (I said I would refuse delivery before end 2018 if the car arrived that late because cars registered here at the end of the year are valued as if first registered in Jan of the same year, so additional loss in value). Salesman's explanation is that some options are currently unavailable (360° cam, BLIS) but he could get me an XC60 with same options within 10 weeks, so explanation doesn't hold water. Tells me cars being ordered now are for delivery mid-2019. Very disappointing - at least he's kept me mobile even if the V60 I have isn't a patch on what I've ordered.

Got told my T3 is now delayed until Mid September. Ordered end of March, originally told mid July, then mid August. Communication from dealer, non existent - only ever get updates when I chase.
I am trying to negotiate a loan car from the dealer in the meantime - has anyone had any success in doing this ? Thanks
On loan car, I'm now on my third one! Ended up with a V60 and paperwork validated for me to keep the car till January 2019!
Well some decent news for this member. My car has apparently arrived at the garage and, paperwork etc permitting I should get it on Thursday next week. I will believe it when I see it.
