  Power socket and Ford+Alexa
  Hi, Just a couple of small queries - I have a new Mk8 Titanium X with all the goodies fitted but I'm trying to find the 2nd power socket. One next to the gearstick - check! One inside the central arm rest...err, can't find anything, just a USB socket. Anyone else's the same? Also, and this might completely unknown but - does anyone know if/when Ford+Alexa app integration might be coming to UK models running Sync3? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

  I was going to reply earlier and say - nope, I think it's all ST-Line X's coming in just now. Anyway, the dealer called lunch time and asked if I could drop by sometime to sort paperwork. I said yup, how about after work. When I arrived he told me car had arrived a hour earlier, completely unexpected Wasn't due until end of March (but that seemed to move to w/e 17/03 and then w/e 24/03). So yes, the Titanium X's are now arriving. Big rush now to see if we can turn it round for collection tomorrow as we're away on holiday from this Sat. Anyway, pics of my new baby in the dealership compound ~ Titanium X, 5 dr, 1.0/125, Frozen White, BLIS+Cross Traffic, Door Edge Protectors, 17" Alloy Style Pack, Auto Park Assist. Exited right now is an understatement! Just hoping I don't have to wait another week when I could be driving it next week.
  Ah well, good news then. That was the message from my dealership but they could have been telling me anything. I guess the cars will just be stacking up and shipped out as and when.
  Spoke with dealership this afternoon and mine (spec'd up Titanium X ordered 19 Jan) is still at New Flushing. Original ETA was 31/03, updates from dealership have been suggesting week ending 17/03 for a while but potentially during the following week now - he mentioned shippings from New Flushing are on hold just now and no cars shipping out of Dagenham this last few days. Hopefully that will resume soon. Another update next week sometime but still on track/slightly ahead of schedule for line still. As long as that stays true that's not too bad for a mid-Jan order as I'm aware a lot of folks have been waiting much longer. I'd say to keep checking and nagging for updates and action, hopefully those delivery dates will come down but it certainly seems Ford is hanging out the Fiesta's more quickly now.

  Just had update from dealer, excitement is building. Car built and waiting at Vlissingen ready to be shipped over. Still on track for delivery during week ending 17/03 although I'm hoping sooner as I'm only on holiday that week (face palm moment and wondering if it's possible to convince my wife, if push comes to shove, to make a diversion to collect). Anyway, ordered 19th Jan fully expecting to get it until May at earliest, August at latest. Pleasantly surprised but now just excited, to be honest. Poor wife will be relegated to a distant second for a few weeks. I expect this forum thread will be filling up with photo's of the car cars very soon.
  Hi Rcross, Sounds encouraging. What spec did you order? - I'm interested as I ordered a spec'd up Titanium X on the 19th Jan with an ETA of week end 17th Mar - right when I'm on holiday! As far as can be seen, they have been focussing on the ST-Line X's this last few weeks and adding the Titanium X's to the mix now too. My last update on Monday was the car was in still in 'Segmentation' but I'll see if that's changed when I get my next update on Monday. I'm starting to feel confident that I'll get my hands on my new pride and joy much sooner than I expected when first starting the process, maybe sooner still than evenj the dealership estimated.
  Sounds to me (and I could be wrong) like they are much focussing on building the X models now. I ordered on 19th Jan (Titanium X, 125ps, 5dr, white. With 17" alloys, door edge protectors; driver assistance, auto park and BLIS packs) and I checked with the dealership today who confirmed mine has moved into 'Segmentation', also with an ETA week ending 17th March.
  That's a shame, never mind. Thanks for the reply anyway. Good news some folks' cars have started appearing though. Makes me wonder, if there are delays all over the place, I'd hate to imaging what's the wait will be like for the ST.
  Does anyone know how/if I can check my car order status online myself. I found the http://www.cotus.ford.com/ site and mentioned it to the dealer the other day. He said he'd look into it and came back with a combination of order number and dealer code that don't work on the site. The dealer has gone off to look into it again (not sure why he couldn't have check himself first before leaving the details on my answerphone) but it would be good to hear if it's possible or any tips.
  Perhaps so, just found this - https://www.ford.co.uk/shop/research/technology/performance-and-efficiency/ford-ecoboost/1-litre-ecoboost-wins-award
