Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Can't find any car carrier ship docking around that time!! Where did you get that information?I've been told by Seat that my car arrived at the Grimsby port on the 18th of Feb! They've said something about a movement or something being booked in to get it to the dealer to PDI it though.
Does anyone have any idea on how long it could be from now?
Thanks
Suggest you ring Seat UK Customer Service (with your Seat SLI order number). I've found them very helpful and they told me which ship mine was on and confirmed it had actually landed.
It's up to the dealer to book transport from the docks to the dealership. Have been told this could take up to 10 days (I hope not for mine!!)
That's what i've been told by Seat Customer services anyway! I might be wrong on the date, but i'm pretty sure that was the date it arrived. It was deffo last week anyway.
Okay, 10 days i can live with, because that means hopefully 2-3 weeks for delivery!
Did Seat UK tell you the name of the ship your car was on? Couldn't see any arrivals at Grimsby last week (data only goes back to the 14th...).
Once you have the ship name you can track it. There have been several shipping delays due to the recent storms though.
Seat UK can also confirm if your car has actually landed or not.....

I've just been on the phone to Seat UK regarding my order. Ordered end of October and car was built week 50. Mine was shipped out of Barcelona on the 18th and will be arriving at Grimsby whenever it arrives. The way the woman spoke about it i originally thought it had actually docked at Grimsby on the 18th but she corrected me after my comment of 'awesome it's in this country'. It's on the Comet Ace currently moored in Zeebrugge. My parents live 10 miles from the yard in Grimsby so very annoying knowing it will be so close yet have to sit there before being hauled to a dealer and then driven to me!
I've been told it should be in Grimsby for Wed 26th. Not long to go!
Oh....maybe the person i spoke to also had her wires crossed. So i'm guessing mine must be on the same boat as yours?
I had the same concern. Apparently manufacturers aren't allowed to disclose the official figure before the new system comes in - read a story in a Sunday paper a couple of weeks ago and it seems the system is totally against the consumer's interest. However, I did some convoluted digging and found a provisional figure on a government website that said 190g for the 300 ST, so at the very top of the next tax band reflecting an increase of £325 on first registration. If it ends up being 191g then that would be the next band, and an increase of £750.
Isn't the first year tax included in your car price so nothing to worry about as the following years don't care about CO2 levels?
From what I've also read is that any car registered after September 2018 has to use WLTP CO2 figures and not NEDC figures. So the current figures should still stand in April.

It is included in the car price, but my broker has an exclusion for increases in tax, and if the vehicle is registered after 1st April then the first year's tax will be higher, and they'll be recouping it from me. I can't imagine it's any different with lease or PCP companies.
As I said, WLTP emisson figures are not available to the public yet. Where it is a new model post September 2018, which I don't believe that the 296bhp ST is, then NEDC figures are temporarily calculated from the WLTP figures using a formula. However, from 1st April vehicles will be registered using the actual WLTP figure.
I will see if I can find the VED webpage that stated 190g, but I can't remember how I got to it off-hand. I should have bookmarked it.
They sure know how to complicate stuff. Just seen the current CO2 figures are the WLTP figures altered to reflect the old NEDC. It states it in small print in the brochure. I've got the WLTP hatch which was specifically made from Sept 2018 onwards so assumed the ST was the same? I thought they added PPFs to both cars. Or is this still classed as the old car despite emissions modifications?
I found the link that gives the WLTP emissions figure if available.
Lookup the vehicle at https://carfueldata.vehicle-certification-agency.gov.uk/search-new-or-used-cars.aspx
On the results page, right hand side under the CO2 section, there is a link for 'available WLTP data'. It shows 190g for the Cupra ST 300 Lux. It does have a caveat that the figures given are for reference purposes only at this stage.
Looks like the hatch has jumped too, from 149 to 171 if their figures are accurate.
6 days to go and I still have no confirmation that my car is going to be delivered. Its in the UK, on the dealers forecourt, but the finance company has started faffing, and my delivery coordinator ahs gone on holiday.6 days to go
I managed to get a free service for the delay. but last heard Friday my car is awaiting a ship.
How long is Amy on holiday?6 days to go and I still have no confirmation that my car is going to be delivered. Its in the UK, on the dealers forecourt, but the finance company has started faffing, and my delivery coordinator ahs gone on holiday.
Mine's 'pencilled in' for the 5th - if it gets to the dealer on time..... Gives me two days before loading up and driving to Gatwick!!
