I haven't seen this Video before.

Interesting and boring at the same time!

Ukraine 2013 Freelander 2 2.0T SE Auto Fuji White

Amazing stuff. All the work designing & getting the production line to work, it's hard to get one's head around. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4_e GS Manual Zermatt Silver

I new an engineer who was part of a team, responsible for setting up production lines at Nissan. Just to get the working principle on the bench they used to make a rough mockup using Lego Technic.
I kid you not. Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !
Now retired so it doesn't matter anymore.
Freelander now gone.

Scotland 2010 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Stornoway Grey

I recently went on the Factory Tour at Solihull. Absolutely astonished at all the robots building Range Rovers. Could have watched all day. JLR still employ 6000 people at Solihull.
Well worth a visit. Jim A

I wonder how many they have to make to get everything lined up properly and all of the welds in the right place etc? There is a lot to be said for not buying an early model of any car. My 14 plate FL2 is certainly the best one that I have owned. Pity you can't buy new ones .
Perhaps the Ineos guy Jim Ratcliffe could be persuaded to start making FL2s given that the Grenadier is now in production. Dream on... 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
