Yep, my mates has been put back a month. He ordered it mid march and it won't be here untill the end of july.

When he put the order in he said the factory had stopped taking orders at the time due to demand.

It wont be the first time. There was a massive post about delays in arrival dates a while back. Waited 2 weeks for mine (was already made to spec i wanted mined.) back last June but the avarage seems about 8+ weeks now.

Mine arrived within 3 weeks of being ordered iirc, couldnt get it for a few weeks after though due to being away on holiday and dvla dragging their ass transferring my plate, delivery was meant to take circa 3 months

Thanks for replies, for info, our order was made on Dec 31st, and WAS looking at delivery mid April, looks like another 2 weeks now!!

Already annoyed cos of the road tax situation, which i expect Renault will be expecting me to pay.

is that inclusive of the 12 months road tax, ie it is not a separate tax on top of the normal £215?

 

[matt-c]

Yes, it's includes the 12 months tax.

We ordered ours last November (The 1st weekend in November). Was told that it would be here mid January, then the end of January, then the start of February, then the end of February.

We ended up getting it on the 1st March.

A month and a half late.
