How often do these boats land in Australia with new stock? I have been told mine will be on the next shipment.

Not sure, check with your dealer and ask them for a vin then you can check the itinerary on Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics - worldwide ocean transport, inland services, supply chain solutions, terminal services and then track the boat on Google Maps APRS and Live Ships Map - AIS - Vessel Traffic and Positions

Most larger importers receive new shipments monthly.

ERMAGHERD!

Alright, apart from the fact that this ship came from Germany - how do you tell what's on it? There's nothing to identify whether it's cars or sausages!

ERMAGHERD!

The Cargo ID was my VIN Number, I have the pdf export of my order from the dealer.

I Just read this, It wasn't 2 months door to door, I have been waiting since the first week of April this year!

Still, all in all this isn't that bad: going back to booba's first post and looking at the date, we're talking, what? About 2 months door-to-door until you actually take possession of the vehicle?

Looking at all the non-standards I'll want for the Alltrack, plus what I've heard about DSG and 4Motion *each* adding a month or more (unless the European auto slump has freed up the pipelines), I'm expecting more like 6-9 months for mine.

Ugh. Just looking at a calendar makes me depressed. That means I'll be driving our current clunker way into next year.

EDIT: err, for clarfication: yes, DSG and 4Motion *are* standard in the AT, but add time, but all the additional stuff I want will mean that for certain I won't be able to get one of the lot at the dealer.

Well, I recieved the car 2 days early yesterday, and i'm still smiling. Such an awesome vehicle!..

First mod is done, car has 90km on the clock and i felt that the cluster wasn't good enough so I ripped that out this morning and replaced it with a premium cluster. All functions working as expected, including lane assist and side assist

[iampivot]

How much is a premium cluster replacement? And does it require any other changes, comfort module etc?

Also, I've got a rattle in the trim that covers the cluster among other things. Did you by chance take any pictures when you removed yours?
