According to the news it’s all about uncertainty regarding diesel policies which appear to vary from area to area??

1000 temp contracts feels like too many though doesn’t it? I wonder what that is as a percentage of the workforce at these plants? Regardless it’s a great shame that these folk are losing their contracts due to a volte face on the merits of diesel. I was rattling to a chap who makes films about motorsport and he had recently spent time with JLR and said the enormous prototype shed is just full of battery powered vehicles. I guess long term you don’t need as much resource if you’re plonking a battery in. |

I think JLR's excuse of blaming Brexit is taking the easy route. (no Im not turning this into a political in/out debate |

Though it is unlikely that any Brexiteer will ever accept that any adverse news could ever be blamed on Brexit |

Is it just about diesels and Brexit? I suspect JLR is coming up against more and better competition. JLR products are over priced compared to the rest of the market and their infotainment is rubbish. Their reliability is also poor compared to many others. And don’t mention the crap dealers....

From the 6 LR’s that I’ve owned I (fortunately) can’t relate to that unhappy experience.
