Yes I know ;-), I'm as eager for you to get yours as I am to get mine, provided the D3 is as good as the old 2.4 that is. Do you want me to come and take some pictures of your new toy ?? ;-) **

Default First MY11 XC60 - Fog lights

Is anyone promised delivery on their MY11 model in the next week or so?

It will be interesting to hear what changes have been made.

The only obvious change I have seen is the removal of the Fog Lights. To be efficient, fog lights need to be as close to the ground as possible, where they do not just illuminate the fog. So what do Volvo suugest we use instead of fog lights?

My car was under testing at Volvo last week, so I really hope that I get it soon!

Had a call today saying the car is being built this week (MY11 ES Geartronic).

Factory system still shows estimated delivery of 15th July which is a month later than the original delivery estimate we had been quoted back in March when we placed the order.

Anyone here know how long it normally takes between car being actually built to delivery? Can hardly wait!!!!

I know it took about 4 weeks from arriving in UK to making it to the dealer , maybe they have become quicker than last year, but sure was frustrating

Is there a way we can check progress online then - or is it just the dealer telling you what the factory is saying. Our dealer has gone very quiet, other than the one line email a few weeks ago giving our new delivery date of 1st Sept (grr, even though we ordered 3rd March - there doesn't seem to be much in the way of a queuing system going on!)

My dealer seems to be able to check on a system online somewhere with factory's latest estimated delivery date. I have been calling them up regularly to ask them to check it and they go on the system and read it out to me...

Normally it should take only about 2 weeks from date of manufacture until you get your car....

Car made.
2-4 Days on quay in Belgium or Sweden waiting to be shipped.
1-2 Days to ship to UK.
1 Day to offload.
1-2 Days delivery to dealer or possibly compound.
3-5 Days after that, you get the keyes.
