| Yes, AJ-V8 - the line has been/is being moved in-house at Wolverhampton from Bridgend. |

| The lift rod thing is interesting - an engineer was quoted as saying what tyre would fit with a 1” lift. |

| They’ve just done a 4” lift on an L405 - 35” tyres look huge on it, shows the Defender’s arches are much bigger when you look at the Lucky8 one on 35”s. |

| ... yet the “real” Defender only ever had a centre one, and the new G is about as likely to be seen in a field as Hamilton’s F1 car is. |

I said ages ago that an error (polite) that JLR made was not to fit or allow a 33 inch tyre with the ability to speck up to a 35 for the Aussie and US markets (and us of cause)
