Does anyone know what any of this from FordEtis resolved publications means:
It hasn't changed for over a month, so I assume the car is on its way to me?

Deliverable Type
SBD (9) 3836
WSM (1) 3336
EPRODUCT INTRO (11) 6610
DIAGNOSTIC (14) 3481
MBT (2) 3737
GLOBAL WIRING (17) 300000026

My apologies, Jim. I've just noticed the "Resolved Publications" are in a separate tab. Mine shows exactly the same as yours.

Outstanding :cheers: Hopefully they'll be on the same ship.

Etis has loads of info now. Blend date was 22nd March, build date is shown as 26th March. There's a long list of Primary and Minor Features. I don't see 'settled' anywhere, but I guess the car is on its way to me.

May I ask where you guys are looking for info related to your orders and what details you need?

I have my copy of the dealer, vehicle order form, but no VIN.

You'll need your VIN number to get this detail.

Hi. Just to add to what Parko said, your dealer will be able to give you your VIN, but not right away. When did you place the order? It was over two months after ordering that my VIN went live.

Supersolo · Apr 25, 2018

Thanks for the replies and information.

I completed and signed my vehicle order form, 10th Jan 2018.
Although I joined the queue at that particular dealer in October 2017, giving them a £1k deposit in Nov 17.

Ta.

I feel your pain. I was badgering my dealer from February last year, as soon as the 2018 was announced, so thought I would be one of the first to actually get one. Shows what I know :headbonk:

Your VIN should definitely be available by now.

Cheers,

Paul.

February? Wow! Your dealer sounds to have been more enthusiastic than mine. I thought I was being an early bird by walking into the showroom in September / October 2017.
When I did, the chap I spoke to appeared to know nothing about the 2018MY, although in mitigation to the sales man, it seems Ford hadn't distributed any literature to U.K. showrooms even as late as September 17.

Your reply has got me wondering now, whether to allow my impatience to get the better of me and become a PITA for my dealer.
Or try, as futile as that may be, to wait patiently.

However, the general impression I have of my dealer is they have little to no interest in my order. I guess for folk who sell cars all day, every day, the novelty of selling and seeing new cars, must by now have become a distant memory.

This is ridiculous. If your dealer ordered your car from Ford he would certainly have your VIN by now. Either give them a call or march in and ask for it.

I think this disinterested dealer syndrome is fairly common. I'm lucky with mine, he's very obliging, but he's only as good as the information he has access to. The minute he had the VIN he emailed me though because he knows this is a big deal to me.

I had a provisional order in super-early, but as you say, the UK dealers were kept in the dark until much later in the year. In the interest of full disclosure, I also slipped back by at least a month because I changed my colour choice to Kona blue, which is considered non-standard.

Kona Blue is lovely. I had a 2012 Boss 302 in Kona Blue, it looked great with its white roof and stripes.

Nice. I've thought about stripes (and a spoiler, for that matter) but I decided to get the car first to get a better feel for what it needs/doesn't need.

Stripes on the 302 were almost compulsory with that aggressive body-shape though :headbang:

Parko · Apr 26, 2018

I went for Lightning Blue with spolier, thought about stripes but like you I'll wait till it's here to decide.
