Sports pack looks great with with Ascot grey....like you been a long wait but worth it. Got ours a couple of weeks ago, starlight blue with chrome pack as thought that would offset the blue.

Got our van a couple of weeks ago and been lucky to get to France for a bit. First impressions of the long drive down to the south was unbelievable, coming from a converted t5 it was pure luxury. It almost drives by itself on the long and mainly traffic free motorways....seats really comfortable, stereo quality pretty decent. No real road buz and plenty of room for the dog between the seats. We have had a few vans over the years and I know you get what you pay for but oh my, really is worth it. Only issue has been with the sos button, seems that if you park for a whe in a location without signal it errors (goes red) and requests visit to dealer. Upon restart it disappears, happened twice so may have to speak to them when we get back.

Pics are after run down here so excuse the dirt...

I think we’ve all had the red SOS button problem in our 6.1’s. Not unique the VW Californias apparently.

I did wonder as much...

Yes, this long delivery time thing is really very annoying. It gets "under your skin". At some point all you can think of are VW Camper buses. Luckily I've found a time consuming hobby that will take my mind of things ;-)

@Saul B
Is there any chance you could measure the hight at the back your new California from the highest point? I think the awning is the highest bit at the back . I’m hopefully mine will fit in my garage when it arrives at 206cm.

Thanks in advance if you get a chance.

Here you go. I held a piece of deck board parallel to the floor off the awning at rear of awning and used a laser measure to floor.

Best of 3.

To consider: Vehicle is lightly loaded with nobody on board, brand new, has suspension 267 option (nobody knows what this is yet) and is on 18” Springfields with 255/45 tyres.

Cheers, SB

PS: measure twice - drive in once

Brilliant job. Thank you so much for your time. Reason for asking, I also will have the 18s & 267 option so I can pretty much assume it will be the same height as yours when it arrives. Top Job. Thank you

Nice email to receive. Never hear anything from Eurovans other than “when anything changes we’ll let you know”...

All sounds good then - no problem at all.

That’s the same build week as I’ve been given.

Definitely a chance still! Before you know it it’ll be on the forecourt. Look forward to hearing about the MY22 upgrades

Hi Dean good question....as we orders these wheels we didn't get a spare wheel just the air compressor and fluid to seal flats...not a big fan of this so will probably get a spare wheel added when I get back. I have already checked under the boot and there is space for a spare but I imagine will not be the same tyre size. There is no clamp for locking but expect that it's because I have not got the spare option, previous vans have had the spare locked in place. I'll update when I get back with the spare installed. As said by many they are worth the wait, good luck with getting yours.

Thread’s dropped off the front page*, hope that’s not a sign it’s all ground to a halt!

My Starlight Blue Ocean continues to be a distant dream but we’re camped up next to a Swiss plated Starlight Blue Ocean here on the Basque Coast which is bittersweet lol
At least I’m finally sure i like the colour

* apparently it hadn’t but i couldn’t find it

I’m in the same boat, I have sites booked for the end of August and I’m doubtful I will get the van in time, on the bright side you would get a new September number plate prefix.

I was also told it would be a MY22 but they couldn’t confirm the changes.

Someone did say they were trying to push the vans out before the factory closes for holiday (because the workers haven’t had enough time off ) so hopefully

Yes I was also told VW wanting to get all of the vans out before summer break but if they are awaiting parts they may not have much say on this! I’ve seen the MY22 on the order details. Really hope we get some good news soon!

Yep mine is in build and my dealer said they’re trying to finish everything currently in build before shutdown which is next week?
