Re: Delivery/Tracking

I’m getting my car from a dealer just down the road from Grimsby and have been told my car is heading for Sheerness so it would it seem that might be where most cars are going at the moment regardless of location... Apparently from this point it can then take up to 2 weeks at the port waiting to be...

Re: Delivery/Tracking

Cheers. I can see Malacca Highway is a vehicle carrier leaving to Grimsby on 18th so wondered if that might be the one but maybe not. I guess it’s harassing customer services again once ships leave :) I stand corrected! It never goes Grimsby but it is for first time in months! Sent from my iPhone u...

Re: Delivery/Tracking

Today I've travelled 2 hours 30 mins to the VW dealership where I've ordered the GTI+ to part-exchange my old existing car. It cannot be long now before the ship containing my car hits Germany and before I know it, it's almost time to pick it up again at the expense of another 2hr 30min drive... wo...

Re: The Great Tyre Debate

I've tried adjusting the arch liner but it still protrudes a alot so I'll get VW to sort that. Bought the PilotSport 4s, not in stock at Costco but I've ordered them. The Michelin offer ends tomorrow so I had to take the plunge or forget about it... The next offer is on Bridgestone tyres... I'm not...

Re: Delivery/Tracking

Blimey, did they unload it from one ship to the other?! Not a clue! I am quite surprised tbh. I was expecting it at Grimsby as well as my dealer is just down the road from Grimsby. Apparently cars in the middle of the UK however can go to either Sheerness or Grimsby. Either way, not gonna complain ...

Re: Alloys

Have you thought about getting the stock Brescias powder coated? I did but the car is on PCP and would rather them not be funny about it. Plus I was sorta looking for a black set of wheels anyways!

Re: Delivery/Tracking

Anyone know the name of the ship going from Emden to Port of tyne my car was on Glovis Star from South Africa and got into Emden today 28th July cheers. Tyne is a bit of a weird one, the boats aren't as frequent as those to Grimsby but they are from the same pool of boats I posted earlier. Sometime...
