Some of Land Rover's UK dealers have allegedly been told to fit non-genuine parts, while one magazine claims a JLR manager suggested used parts could ease the backlog
Owning a car from a brand with a terrible reputation for reliability is one thing, but you’d at least hope that dealers could fix your expensive luxury SUV when it does go wrong. Instead, Land Rover and Range Rover owners are discovering that the company is in the middle of a crippling parts shortage that has left thousands of vehicles off the road, unable to be fixed.
