Mine is through freeborn. I ordered mine on 25th march and now I'm wondering if mine will be affected by Japan.

[Matadonna]

Not sure if its different with the north dealerships or difference between parts on the 90 and the 110 ordered mine 23.03
After reading Bird poo's post rang my dealer who told me that its leaving the factory 26th this month...and allowing for bank holidays should have it mid may...

[Mr. Bird Poo]

Damn I ordered mine on the 14th March from Freebourne, just annoying really as I really want it Definately have to reinsure the Saxo now and get road tax though

If you're PX'ing your Saxo, just take the tax disc out before you hand it over, and then you can send it back to DVLA for a refund on the full months remaining

Only if you have agreement with your dealer! The tax on the car belongs to the owner of the vehicle which would be the dealer. Most dealers won't have a problem with it but do ask first to avoid any bad feelings.

[Mr. Bird Poo]

Havn't heard a thing, just tried to phone but supposedly no one is around that can check till Saturday. Does the HDi 90 have the same part that comes from Japan that's been delaying the 110s. If it does then I'm hoping mine's also on its way.

As for tax I told them when I first got given an estimation that the car will be running out that month otherwise I'd claim it back, didn't seem to mind. Also said it won't have a headunit as I don't know my originals code, had it written somewhere. Never going to leave the Sony in there, it's worth something on eBay

[Matadonna]

Not sure mate that would be a question for the Inside Man...
It amazes me how they can knock so many bespoke cars out surely they must do a week of white shells, then week of black, and so on???
Seen another 18 day email in same colour combo as mine on same day perhaps its that...Dare say i am wrong though

[Bigfeet]

If you have the original radio then just stick it in as the dealer can find the code no problem.

There has be no problems with supply of HDi110 DSports, the issue has been with HDi90 where the production line is switching over to the new engine.

[Bigfeet]

Reading through this post again you ordered your car in march. DS3 HDi110 DSports weren't due for production until May which would hint towards a late May Build early June Delivery according the Supply Bulletin Published at that time. Is this the information your dealer gave?

I ordered on the 21st March and was told delivery of my 110Hdi would be the end of April, now been told it's slipped until the 1st or 2nd week of May due to the sensor shortage from Japan.

Won't be too happy if delivery doesn't happen until June, part of the reason I didn't order a DS3 Racing was the fact I didn't want to wait until July for delivery, but if there is now only 1 month in it..................................
