when it comes to the important or high end manufacturing in Britain they always employ the actual british;english,scottish,welsh­? Yet when you look at the GMM van factory in luton a good 90% of the work force are foreign.Makes you wonder how good the vans could be if they were designed and built by british people in their own country.

Nissan Europe (in sunderland) is one of the most efficient plants in the whole of europe and (surprise,surprise) damn near 100% of the work force are british

I know Tata is Indian but India houses some of the worlds greatest business managers so its not a bad thing the company is owned by them. Besides which they have British managers actually running everything. Just heard on the news that JLR are expanding the company by pumping money into the business due to record profits of something close to £1 billion, employing 1000 more jobs and bringing out more cars. See what happens when once again, India and Britain unite. Hahahaha.

@britishboy7 NO mate it is owned by Tata Motors of india

[SukhySs]

@britishboy7 lol its not really british anymore, first they were owned by the americans at ford, and J/LR's owned by indian businessman rattan tata, but theyre still nice cars. i think you need a degree in engineering to work at the factory

Jaguar stoped making the x type in 2009.The Halewood plant at the moment makes the freelander.The new Range Rover Evoque will be made at Halewood.Solihull makes the Range Rover,Range Rover Sport,Discovery4 and the Defender.

The original Jaguar men would turn in their graves if they saw the tinny shite they churn out now under the Jaguar badge.10gauge steel flimsy bodies with the bare minimum of spotwelds and glue,plastic front and rear ends complete with wheezy strangled engines struggling to breathe through countless emission control systems fed on miniscule wafts of fuel from super eco injectors.Whatever happened to vehicles built like brick shithouses that could scare the driver shitless?sad sad world.

@silver760 Slow down..

[nickobellic123]

@silver760 Aluminum*. Neither Jaguar or Land Rover use steel. It's not exactly tinney either, they use tinner gauge material to reduce weight and pair it with a super-stong spaceframe. No european car is Tinny, they're all built solid, of course not as well as many years ago, but think about it, no manufacturer builds the same as they did years and years ago. Put it this way, no european car can be as tinny as a Toyota is...

[silver760]

@nickobellic123 After working decades in the automotive engineering industry and having built,worked on and driven vehicles of the past,my comparison between new and old vehicles is entirely true.Landrovers in their original guise were built on a steel ladder chassis welded up from plates and the outer bodywork was Birmabright,an aluminium alloy,the bulkhead between the engine and driver is also steel.Cars of yesteryear certainly looked and drove better than 90% of modern cars.Modern=soulless.

[peanuts2105]

@silver760 Looked better in some cases e.g Jaguar E-Type, Rover P5 Ferrari 275. Good looking cars they are but dogs to drive. Brakes made from wood, steering more wooley than your jumper and chassis about as stif as my little chap after looking at Anne Widdecombe. Mordern cars are superb to drive such as most BMW's, current Jags even the big Range Rover. Most classics just cant cut it. :)

[silver760]

@nickobellic123 I suggest you do some research before making ill-informed comments Only the outer skin of a Landrover is made from Brimabright.The Rover P4 only used it to skin the doors,boot lid and bonnet.This was changed to steel later on to reduce costs.As for Jaguar the vast majority of their cars had steel chassis and bodies,there were a few that had alloy bodies,such as the C-type ( XK120),only 52 of which were made.Only the E-type prototypes were alloy road cars were all steel.
