Hello

Rumour has it my new external door for the Swift will arrive at the Swift factory tomorrow (Monday). Allowing for transfer to the dealers etc and a day for a margin, it should be fitted on Friday.

So, 54 weeks old, the van may finally have a door that locks, unlocks and closes so that the stepwell does not turn into a foot spa!

The question is of course - will it arrive or not! LOL

Russell

Fingers Xed for you Russell ! Don't get too excited though - I'd allow a few more days for it to be on the road before it is fitted. The well known Swift delivery system you know..!

Have you ever been to the factory ? Do you have a rough idea of how many people work on building the vans ?

Greetings,

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, best of luck Russell, if the past problems are anything to go by I would not see a swift delivery of the door, but, hey, they could prove us all wrong!!

When the door finally arrives and is fitted do you anticipate a swift exit and the purchase of different motorhome?

Or is it to early to make a swift decision? Smile

Keep us informed!!

Hello

Chris - I have no idea how many people work there - apart from quite a lot in customer services (complaints).

Peter - I'll Swift you with comments like that! LOL. Very witty. I think it will be a Swift move to another marque.

Come on - let's have some of what Noel Edmonds on "Deal or no Deal" describes as positivity!

On the other hand of course...

Hello

It's arrived! Really it has! Fitting takes place on Friday 15th June, along with the new reverse camera.

54 weeks after delivery, could I finally have a "new" motorhome where everything works?
