    Jeez, them Brexiters are total morons - first they were saying that company who cut jobs/move out don't do so because of Brexit, now when company explicitly says 'slump due to Brexit' they have audacity to pretend they know better
    a car is for 3 years not just for Xmas or until you find a wall to park it in!

    They aren't buying now because the Government has just made it clear Diesels are the new Satan (tax cow), the taxes are declared.

    One throws in Brexit just to show willing but if the government declares 90% of your customers will pay more tax on your goods you are pretty much screwed.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      No Brexit is not harming, and is not going to harm, the car industry at all.
      That'll be why Nissan are demanding an urgent meeting with the PM.

      AT what point I wonder will Brexiters realise that in the past two years, most ironically, Britain has prospered due to doing more business with the EU than ever.

Given 90% of JLR's sales are diesel vehicles then it would mean any drop in people purchasing these vehicles would hit their sales hard.
        The answer is to modify the Diesel fuel, not the engine. I suppose a modified DPF would help so rather than burning the carbon, it dropped a carbon turd first thing in the morning.

            The thing is so many drivers of diesel cars do not realise that actually they are not more fuel efficient in town driving especially in winter. You need to get speed up to burn off the particulates in the DPF.

                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                      WTF? You are talking about a B2B arrangement not an employer-employee arrangement.

                      Its wrong from a data breach prospective. But a contractors employer is their company - not the end client.

                      Do you claim JSA too?
