I'll add a potential other:

Federal-Mogul Turkey is also a large supplier of pistons to JLR.

I thought new Defender didn't have paddle shift gearchange on the steering column. Unless I'm wrong or they are talking about something else like infotainment controls.

It doesn’t have paddles, even as an option. Maybe that’s the maker of the steering wheel controls for the audio/ cruise etc Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

I see that the same website has also broken news that Land Rover has suspended production of 2 phev models. May be for the same reason that BMW is recalling 26,000+ vehicles 2020 Defender 110 SE 240D: Fuji White.

Off Topic And now Hyundai is recalling some 77,000 E-Kona’s worldwide after a spate of battery fires in LG Chem batteries installed in those EV’s. Interesting that Kia hasn’t had the same issue with their Soul and Niro cars using the same power pack Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come

Plus 3 years free servicing.

Mind you, if it was JLR they wouldn't offer anything.

Just like BMW https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-car...-fire-risk WARNING.
