my "k" is due the 15th feb ..ish and i am already sick with excitement , anybody else going to be struggling to not go near it until march for the new plate ?

I'm very impressed with mine and I'm sure you will be the same the 1.4 is extremely quick I must admit would love to test drive the 1.6 turbo now for comparison but that would probably make me feel like I should have gone for that so what I don't know I won't miss :lol:

Ordered mine in late dec for delivery first week of March. The dealer told me I might as well get a factory order and wait for the new plates. Only one month down and it still feels like ages!

 

[Fig88]

I was told march so I'm ok with new plates I understand your pain though! the thought of it being ready but not using it!! gah!

Mine's due soon too. It's ridiculous to be so excited at my age (63) but I can't wait.

Dicky - I am a little bit older (67) and excited.

Dear Mr Gunswills...

 

[Razormatt]

That's just cruel :lol:

 

[SwissTJ]

Not really, that's his car!!

The fact that he can't drive it yet is immaterial, he's welcome to come and sit in it and go brrrm brrrm a lot.

Looks nice, I wonder how many mpg he'll get sitting in it going brrrm brrrm

Just looked at Track my Vauxhall and it now tells me it is built and having final checks.

Could you please check if that newly arrived 1.4 150PS Turbo has Watts link in rear suspension?
Thanks in advance.

 

[SwissTJ]

I'll take a picture in the morning and leave it to you to confirm. I wouldn't know what a Watts link suspension looked like if it smacked me in the mouth.

Watts link in rear suspension:

Just looked at Track my Vauxhall and it now tells me it is built and having final checks.

Bizarrely, it's still not showing anything for me other than Astra SRi 1.4T 150ps - not even a build slot. I ordered near identical spec on 31 Dec, 2 days after you, but without tinted windows, keyless entry and spare wheel. Hope they haven't lost my order... :shock:

I suspect we won't get Watts linkage suspension on our 2016.5 models - pity, I as really want it now I know what it is...

SwissTJ, did you check the Watts link presence/abcense?
