T6.1 new order delays
- Thread starter Casual1874

Have a look at autoebid. Good on price. Nobody really knows how long new vans are going to take, but I reckon 12 months is likely.
Nice, good news for you! I bet you can’t wait now, congrat.
FYI Mines about 50mm lower than standard, on 8.5 x 17’s with 235/65 tyres. For me its perfect; comfortable, no rubbing or bumps on lock or over speed bumps etc. Steve @CRS Performance fitter his KW coilover kit. Can highly recommend it and his advice.
Visited my convertor at the NEC this week. Raised the issue with him re weight issues for electric tailgates. Other than potential issues with tailgate-mounted bike racks (which I'm not intending to have), he had no concerns that insulation/window blinds would cause a weight issue for the struts. He said they'd converted dozens and never seen a problem or had a problem reported to them.
Haha I don’t disagree , some over here can’t drive forward in a straight line !I can see why the bigger tank is standard - Oz is one vast country - but why the camera I wonder. Are cameras standard across the market, or is it just VW that doesn't rate your countrymen's reversing skills?

Just read that VW have halted production in two plants in Germany due to the Ukraine situation. The commercial plant in Poland wasn’t mentioned but I get a feeling we could be in for even more delays, ar5e
It was finally collection day today a mere 347 days after ordering. Didn’t go without a hitch though. Turned up a day late after I had made the 320 mile trip up from Cornwall. Then they couldn’t put any fuel in as local garages had run out due to idiots panic buying. They had to syphon some out of the van I traded in!!
It has now been driven straight to Chris at The Van Cave to work his magic! Got to wait another week now before collection day number 2.
Hang in there chaps. Your time will come!
BANG goes my Sportline
Bang goes my Sportline
Neither of those factories build Transporters so it’s should have no effect.
Where are you in Rochester Stu? I’m in High Halstow. Must meet up bud
I’m Cuxton
As mentioned earlier in this thread, my van has turned up and will be registered on 1st March where it will be made to look stunning by @BognorMotors. I'm booked in with the converters for late March and the plan is for me to undertake the electrical installation alongside the converters working their magic.
Found out yesterday that I unexpectedly need major surgery on my spine and could be out of action for months! Pi55ed off beyond words! Looks like I may have to postpone my electrical install and camper conversation for many more months if my surgery date comes through before early April!
At least I'll have a new unmolested van if I need to change my conversion plans from a camper to a disability vehicle with a wheelchair ramp!

from what I’ve read it affects electric cars .. hopefully that’s all it is
I spoke with JCB sittingbourne this morning, and they said the factory closure should no effect anything. I asked about my order and I was told that it has a ''Required date of 01/07/22'' my van is quite a high spec panel van. Also they said Kombi's were a year wait and Sportlines were 18 months.
Ordered my Sportline from JCB in Sittingbourne last June. Hope it’s not going to be 18 months! They told me should be a month or two away.
JCB Ashford Pretty much singing from the same hymn sheet my sportline was also ordered last June, would of been nice to get it before my year end, hey ho lolOrdered my Sportline from JCB in Sittingbourne last June. Hope it’s not going to be 18 months! They told me should be a month or two away.
In the context of a van order, I've never heard the expression "required date". What do they mean by this?
