ce from the other thread that some people said you need springs to get it to open sometimes, but the VW compression buffer should work better... search for part number 1k8827761d... it’s what the German guy on the video used..

Think the springs are for the ST not sure why they wouldn’t work without the spring?

I get the impression that the compression buffer just gives the boot lid a bit of a boost to start it off, making it easier for the gas springs to do their job.. not sure, but on the video, that's what the guy also put on there..

Get mine tomorrow also. Will be putting my JB1 straight on, but leaving it switched f until I put some mileage on it
Leeds-Otley-Pateley bridge-Grassington-Burnsall-Bolton abbey-Blubberhouses-Otley-Leeds.
Some great B road blasts
Leaving at Around 10am..
Just received an email from the lease company - my car has been assigned a confirmed BW49 - much sooner than I expected! I have been advised the car should land with the supplying dealership around Christmas time 
Fantastic news although I am slightly gutted I have to wait until March to get it when my Polo lease ends...although I have asked if there's a possibility it could be registered on a 19 plate, as I've already been told the car can be stored until delivery is convenient.

It might be worth contacting the finance provider for the polo, I got a quote for early termination (4 months early) for just an admin fee of £25 and wouldn't have to pay any of the remaining payments. This was with Arval and under the mileage allowance thoughJust received an email from the lease company - my car has been assigned a confirmed BW49 - much sooner than I expected!

I'd considered it to be honest - might have to just be patient as I've been informed it will be registered on a 19 plate, which I don't mind waiting for too much - saves my new car getting tortured through the winter too haha
When did you order again? Thought it was only recently...Just received an email from the lease company - my car has been assigned a confirmed BW49 - much sooner than I expected! I have been advised the car should land with the supplying dealership around Christmas time

It was very recent @zedlor! Only paid the admin fee on the 27th October and the order was accepted and confirmed by the supplying dealer on the 30th - now being told confirmed BW49 and should be arriving at the dealer around Christmas
very surprised given some of the stories I've read on here regarding order/delivery times, especially as I was told to expect 14 week delivery time by the lease company.Typically it's too soon lol
Yeah, I must have ordered my car around the same time as you then. Everything was ordered by the dealer on 31st October, they told me last week that it was scheduled for delivery in March 2019...It was very recent @zedlor!

Maybe it's the sunroof adding on an extra 3 months!
I'm in similar boat, my BW41 ST arrived at dealer SEAT WREXHAM last tuesday, I chased them and the broker for delivery this week but as the days go by I'm thinking it's not going to happen.............maybe i'm being too unrealistic with my timings....lol
