Out of interest how long have people experienced from arrival in uk to pick up from dealer?
Possibly, I've not had an update as yet. Was meant to be in the country yesterday but as I went for a lease not through a dealer I don't think they get the same kind of updates as you do from a dealer.
My guess is they won't know where the car is until it's actually at their suppliers. Going to call then again today.

Took a trip up to Central London for a few pics. 2500 miles in now and still love it just as much as the day I picked it up.

Looks good the wheels don't really show that well in the photos, they stand out more in the flesh. Keeping enjoying it.

What wind deflectors you got Shaun? I had climairs on my Fiesta and found them way better than Heko, but they're like 50 quid on eBay for Climairs for the 6c :?

Yesterday when I put my foot down to overtake the service indicator flashed up on the dash, then flicked between setting the clock and service.
Oil service reset came up this morning, and the same thing happened again when I was overtaking :x

It's booked in next week to have the sticking reset button changed, spoke to VW and they reckon this could be causing what's causing this problem too.

I had this on my blue gt when my button got stuck in vw had to change the whole dash cluster. I had to wait 2 weeks for the part to come in but my dash would go crazy when I was driving skipping between all the menus so what I did was carefully slid my credit card down the side of the button and popped it back out which solved the problem and I didn't touch the button again until it went to be fixed

Thanks I'll give that a try, can't wait for it to be fixed it's bugging me not being able to reset it.
