Jaguar Land Rover

[BurnleyFC]

I’m still none the wiser as to who the target market actually is.

I don’t think Jaguar actually know who the target market is although they mentioned previously that they were after some of Bentley’s customers. I think they might struggle to achieve that going off their prototype.

No wonder the CEO walked.

If you’re thinking of the same company that I am, they account for a smaller percentage of their manufacturing. Or at least they did when I worked for them. Not saying they still aren’t reliant though.

If I’m thinking the same company they have a whole unit dedicated to JLR and is a large percentage of their output I believe several job losses have already taken place at very short notice

There’s an overflow car park on Lomeshaye in Nelson specifically for repair/warranty repair of LR’s…. It’s well away from the main dealers, obviously. It’s jam packed to the rafters.

I owned a freelander 2 (yeah, not a “real” landrover for the brand snobs) but by far the best car landrover have made in the last 20 years…

Is that the one where the workshop is?

No issues with our Defender 110 so far. Feared it would be thirsty than it is too. Guess it will not be cheap if/when something goes wrong.

Although it was as not bought from Lomeshaye, whenever we have asked them a question the stafff have been excellent.

Go woke, go broke.

Simple.

They've also had a massive data breach which will affect simply chain for months apparently.

Oh well!

[ClaretsPadiham]

Think around 40 job losses (so far) at BCW because of this.

That’s terrible. It’s always the innocent that gets the ****.

Just been informed its up to 70 now.

[GetIntoEm]

Cancelled their family fun day too

[Shaggy]

Go woke go broke. The world is finally starting to realise it’s all utter nonsense.

[Sheedyclaret]

Just been informed its up to 70 now.

Wow that’s escalated quickly not good

Unsure if there’s a workshop there. Far too many registered vehicles imho. Seeing that amount just sat there waiting is enough to put me off…

Down by L.E.D. ? If so yes, it's where the workshop is and I agree that there are far too many vehicles sat waiting to be looked at. Unfortunately I had to go there several times with one of our cars

Woke = having black people in your advert. Finally I understand what it means!

Yes, that’s the place. It’s bloody rammed with vehicles. Hardly a glowing reference….

[ClaretsPadiham]

100+ gone now at BCW because of this.

[Claretnick]

100+ gone now at BCW because of this.

Because of the shutdown caused by criminals completing a cyber attack on JLR? I hope these evil animals are being hunted down....

Yeah, production for JLR is at standstill, doesnt look to be getting better anytime soon either.

If you can't trust your many robot stations to perform their tasks perfectly and repeatedly, or your production track computers to remember which version of a car is currently being worked on at each station and which version will be next up then you have to shut down the track. JLR workers at the main plant here in Solihull have been told it will be at least the 2nd half of October before the next car is produced. Many of those workers are being used in rectification work on the, up to,15% of cars that have a failed check when they reach the end of the line. That was the percentage when I retired from rectification in 2018, anyway.

At that time they ensured that every Landrover leaving the factory site had passed ALL vehicle checks or were sent somewhere, it used to be Kenilworth, for more intensive rectification work(s).
