Told my car is still on schedule for 1st Mar , so assume that means the delivery dates are back on track unless anybody has heard ?

If ordered today, when can one expect delivery?

April/May some dealers are saying, some dealers say Dec.. so guess it depends who you speak to..
There are ex demo's and unallocated cars sitting around that i have come across, but not sure of their status now. we cancelled one for Feb delivery, it was reallocated before we put the phone down i think.. so they are very much still hot..

I ordered at the end of December and was told last week that it would not be here late March / early April as they first thought. At this stage they are not able to confirm a month but it will me May at the earliest

not to rub it in, but i ordered mine on january 5 and took delivery on the 29th...i must have gotten really lucky because i ordered an extremely rare combo of black on black! its well worth the wait tho, mate. i drove my interim car (the fx) until i drive the RRS out to victoria and my god, have i grown spoiled in the course of 2 days!!

It's the TDV8 that is suffering from long lead times - you chaps don't have to worry about diesel engines

Unfortunately didn't really test drive it for long enough. However could tell it was much quicker from standstill without the dreaded delay. The power and delivery felt very similar to the 4.4 FFRR and acceleration was much better than the TDV6. The TDV8 is also fitted with 20" wheels as standard which does make the ride that bit more firm.

My only concern is where do you stop. Yes would have one tomorrow, however the amount of miles I am travelling the slight increase in fuel consumption puts me off at the moment. As an example completed 1050 miles since last Saturday, various driving, motorways, town, lanes etc and managed an average 28.8mpg.

The TDV8 is a great engine, makes the RRS come alive but cant quite justify getting one just yet. However the temptation may just be too much as the year goes on !  MY10 TDV6 HSE, Alaska White, Ebony with Contrast, Park Heat, Paddle Shift, Privacy, Heated Steering Wheel, Extended & Premium Leather,

when I discussed this with a mate who works in leasing, he could see on his system about 15 TDV8s available for March delivery.

Most were silver/black with black leather, one or two ivory.
