Unfortunately, in my view, the reliability of the product has less to do with the geographical location of the factory and more to do with the attitude and culture of the company towards its customers.


Yep. Whether made in Solihull, Brazil or China etc., the product is still shoddy and is consistently at the bottom of all reliability charts because it’s only been designed to last as long as the vehicle’s initial lease period.

If the Chinese can’t make reliable vehicles in a state of the art facility then you know manufacturing is not the issue. It’s poor design.

Yes you are so right Zed , Does not matter where it is made because the robotic assembly line is
the same no matter the global location .

All down to design and engineering and part tenders !

JLR is in a financial mess , and is in a serious cost cutting drive .

Not good for a new premium , ( fancy word for overpriced ) Durability Defender !!!
