My firm placed an order for a bog standard Limited for me end of March. Was told 15-16 weeks. I’m still waiting...

Current estimate is middle of September.

Clive, yes im pretty much in the same boat. I originally bought a DCIV limited as it was in dealer stock, however come the pick up day (1st time id seen the van) I was not happy as it looked it had been repaired. Cut a long story short no other limited DCIV's in orange glow anywhere in the country so on the basis that it was a long wait for either a limited or sport, I ordered a DCIV sport with a few extras. That was 10th June.

Last update was expected delivery late sept/early October. TBH as much as id like the new van to be here, im coping with the wait as I have ordered what I want and in hindsight it should turn out better than the limited. Albeit costing more.


If you can truly believe the dealers then depending on what options you have it adds to the lead time. In the end I went with roofrack, LEDs in load compartment, electric adjustable seat pack, sat nav, stop start, adaptive cruise, single tailgate and 240 inverter. Extra three weeks just because of the tailgate and adaptive cruise for some reason?

Hey ho, its almost September.

Different body shell? Maybe they wait until they have a certain number?

As you say, it'll be worth the wait as you'll get exactly what you want.

Fordrock, that sounds about right, I checked with the dealer today and ETA with them is 5th November. Total of seven weeks slippage from original delivery date.

I ordered an Orange sport 2 weeks ago, my mate in the garage said there were two in the dealer that had been a cancelled order in Magnetic so I went and bought one today. It should have it plylined and on the road by the end of the week.
Still one left in Fordthorne Cardiff.
Ask for Kelvyn Jones.

I've just taken delivery of a new Sport after a 5 month wait. I'd added adaptive cruise control, BLIS, single tailgate, automatic box and led load lighting (really bright!). Dealer paid for the ply lining, Well worth the wait Sold my minted low mileage 2016 Limited (which I'd bought new) privately for a good price. Had 20" M Sport black OZs on it for summer use and these have now been stored away for next summer. Pleased insurance group is same as the 125 Limited.

i have ordered the adaptive cruise control for mine.
can you tell me if it now includes traffic sign recognition on your instrument cluster screen?

Hi, yes it recognises the speed limit signs and displays the info on your instrument cluster. The BLIS system also includes cross traffic recognition which displays lights in you mirror and an alarm for reversing out of spaces if there is a vehicle or pedestrian in the zone. Clever. Best way to get the OZ alloys is get someone you know with an M Sport to buy them for you then square them up. They are entitled to buy them. You can buy rims pretty similar but not OZs. Meant to say the van is orange to match my KTM motocross bikes lol. It is wow quick and doubt I'll ever user the M part of the auto box.
