MK3 SEAT Leon CUPRA's owner's register

[Lloydy44]

Had a silver st on order from zen since November.
Told today it’s in UK and on way to dealer.
Still going to be early April delivery,
I’m like “how can it take a month for PDI and delivery”?
Told them I will collect it wherever it is in the country and apparently “for security reasons” they only deliver.
More like they prepare it in a random depot and it goes nowhere near a dealers!!
Still bemused at it being in the country and won’t be with me for a month.

Is this an update from Zen or Seat?

That was from Zen this morning.

Further update
It’s sitting at port and not on way to dealer as they stated. I’ve told them it needs to be registered in March.

Maybe your car was unloaded at Sheerness?

Possible, but still showing up as a Grimsby unload on Seat's systems apparently.

Worth phoning Seat CS if you have the SLI number, they can see if the dealer has raised a collection order.

This line is probably correct, DM Keith in York use a large site purely for Business/Lease deals as the volume becomes too much for a dealer.

I believe they still have a 'shop front' but its literally a huge car park and at the time waiting for my CUPRA, it was the surrounding field full of cars too.

Think of it as a distribution/PDI point > Driver Pick Up > Customer

This is correct, I believe it goes to their corporate/fleet depot in Leeds.

If the car has been built you can have it registered now. I was able to do this when my car was sat in port in Barcelona. I started the registration process in Jan and was told I would get a 69 plate. However half way through I found out that the car had been delayed to arrive in the uk at the end of feb so it would have a march plate anyway.

Just got a call from LO about an hour ago - delivery is scheduled for 18th March.

I originally said I'd collect, and asked if I could collect any sooner, but she said since there's been so many delays there are loads of cars being delivered so the collection slots are fully booked up.

Pretty disappointing as I was hoping to collect next week - but now I at least have a date so I'm not constantly waiting for a call. Going to be a long couple of weeks!

Seeing all the new shiny Cupras made me clean mine yesterday. Was fairly decent weather yesterday for washing the car. Taken on my crap phone so not to the same standard as your pics.

Stunning! Mine hasnt been cleaned in over 4 weeks with all this cr@p weather!

What shampoo do you use for cleaning?

 

[Chris Cuerden]

The wait is over. Was dubious about the choice of colour but magnetic grey looks awesome in person...

Can anyone confirm if the 2020 Cupra Lux has a Beats sound system? Mine is due for delivery mid April. I'm currently out in South America and saw a Lux at a car show yesterday with different wheels and a Beats sound system.

Beats Audio in some markets, but not UK. SEAT UK like to deprive us of some of the good stuff!

Beats Audio was an option up to the 68 plate pre-Copras. No such option now.

Thank you. I'm not one for spending hours washing so I rinse, spray with EZ sub zero snow foam, rinse, wash with Halfords 2 in 1 wash and wax, Rinse with demon shine wax then dry with microfibre towel.
Comes up like a mirror.

On a side note, I swear the fuel tank in this is smaller than my pre facelift SC FR. It was about £10 less to fill it up yesterday and the estimate range is 150 miles less?

It does seem like a very small tank. I've just done a 400 mile trip in a new 1.5 ecoboost 180 ford focus and it has way more range. Thankfully I didn't like anything else about the car. The collision assist went off when nothing was there and the auto wipers kept going off when it wasn't wet and I had to deactivate them.

I got mine today. Trip up to Stockport from Birmingham... great drive back, home for 11:30 and done a full new car protection with EZ Ceramic Wax.
Good thing is that EZ are based in Stockport so gave them a visit at the same time. Great stuff and it shinesssss

A question for the peeps who've just received their cars.
One common problem I've seen on this forum is creaky seat bases and cracking of the side bolsters. So I checked if anything had changed on the current cars.
SEAT seem to have fixed this by putting elasticated material on the outside edge of the seat bolster between the plastic base and the carbon effect edge trim. This stops creaking and the tearing as it can't tear due to being elasticated and doesn't creak when it rubs against the plastic.
Do the MY20 models have this elasticated side too or is this a leather seat thing?
