Interesting question but don't forget JLR make good margin on parts and unless the political landscape changes significantly here so that Rangies are in effect outlawed by further climate change regs, there will be thousands of these vehicles on the roads for decades to come.

JLR only really make the bodies of their cars, most of the other parts, including trim, suspension, engines etc , all are made by external suppliers - who will be motivated to continue manufacture while aftermarket demand makes them profits.

There is no reason not to keep an elderly FF running for a long time.

My experience of the main dealers is that they refuse to fit anything other than genuine JLR parts. Should I start using independents more often ? Thatched cottage is up the road ...... |

I’ve got a pair of 2002 P38 Range Rover’s and other then silly little things (none of which stop the car being used) virtually everything I’ve ordered from Duckworths recently has been available so I’d guess that most L322 parts will remain available.
