Failte - Welcome

Excellent, I saw there was an Ireland Cali Fb page also, new to this forum but looking forward to arrival of our Coast in May. (Optimistic date!)

Based in Co Meath near Kildare end looking forward to hitting the west and going Donegal, to Sligo, down to Clare as the first journey.
 
This sounds like the "B" thing that we are not allowed to discuss on the forum. Anyway, well done Moderators for getting the Protocol sorted so quickly. Perhaps you could offer BJ some help.
 
Ah an Irish section! - Collecting our Coast tomorrow in Dublin. I have a very excited 7 year old who had trouble sleeping tonight - first trip is granny's driveway in westmeath at the weekend - practice run!
Good morning,

Well, that is exiting all the best on all your journeys.

If you collect the Coast from a dealer in Liffey Valley ( :happy ) and the hand over will be done by Ger say hello from me (Eberhard). He knows me rather well (in a good way).

Save travel,
Eberhard

Good morning,

I try to figure out what the "B" thing is. Hm, what have I missed .... ?

Thanks for getting the Ireland subforum created. We live in County Tyrone and are looking forward to getting out once again in the summer (once the T4 has been put back together!)

Amazing, thanks!!! I've just collected my Coast one week ago and was looking for information about parking locations in Ireland. Super helpful!!
 
Looking for California Ocean for hire in Ireland.
 
Picked up my new coast yesterday, couple of issues have shown up on inspection this morning.
1) The safe box in the warddrobe we specced was not there.
2) The finish on the sliding door under the sink was pretty bad! 20220113_120421.jpg

Have been on to the dealer so awaiting response.

oh, thats disappointing, hopefully they can sort it out for you, have you photos of the outside?
 
Thanks for setting this up! I'm from Spain but living in Ireland for 17 years, looking forward to this! I got my Coast literally 5 days ago after waiting for 12 months, so excitement is an understatement!
Can i ask did you pay the addeed VRT as per Budget in Oct. I've come accross two owners who paid the agreed price when they ordered. Our dealer has said that the VRT increase will affect us . so just trying to get a sample of new vans picked up since start of year that did or did not pay the extra cost.

Good afternoon,

That looks not ok. But I am sure the dealer can sort that out for you. Where did you buy it?

Dear @Irelandcali,

Nice vehicle! I like the red colour.

I bought my T6 Ocean and GC 600 from Frank Keane in Liffey Valley.

I had a lot of issues with the GC 600 which I blame Volkswagen Germany big time for those problems. But the support and help from FK Service in Liffey Valley was wonderful. All the issues was not their fault. They had to deal with a shi... product. But they were very patient and supportive all the time.

Depending where you live FK Liffey Valley might be an option for you. If this is the case PM me and I can provide you with more Information.

Regards,
Eberhard
 
Just seen this. This is brilliant - thanks so much for setting this up. I’m still waiting for my Ocean ordered in April last year. Last I heard, it still had a provisional build week of week 16 (mid-April). Really hoping to have it in time for the summer - it would be amazing.

Sorry to about the issues with your new Cali @Irelandcali - hope you get it sorted.
