United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Stornoway Grey

Quote from the article ...

"Tata has acquired Land-Rover and Jaguar from Ford, which may cut off the British marques' access to Ford kits of parts."

I suppose then we'd find out just how many Ford compenents there really are in our FL2's ...

Engine is Ford - Peugeot - Citroen so there should be no problems there although the FL2 has only one turbine as opposed to the two in the engine they did with PSA for more torque as opposed to more HP.
Terrain Response is a LR trademark and as Ford did not put it on other models seems to stay only with LR.
Damper and gear boxes are done probably by independent companies.
Haldex is Sweedish
Wich leaves with the satnav which we might loose Rolling with laughter

The guys over at Disco said " Disci 3 AMG soon" so why not FL2 AMG ?
Also seems that Daimler trusts TATA to paint the cars they are selling in India. Or was it to wash them ? Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

Now just think of which companies Mercedes also sell their outdated engines to - they don't sell current generation kit to 3rd parties. Let's see - Jeep, Chrysler, Ssassonyang, and a few other makers of less desirable cars.................. How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?
Now driving - RRE Coupe Dynamic Lux Auto with Plus pack, Fuji White, Ebony, SD4 with tow pack
Gone - 2010MY FFRR TDv8 Stornoway and Ivory, Privacy - the pace of a TDv8 RRS, the incomparable grace of a Range Rover
Gone but will be missed- RRS Tdv8 HSE Stornoway Grey with Ebony Leather
Gone (only a little missed) RRS Tdv6 2.7SE Giverny Green/Aspen
Defender 90 County HT in Epsom Green

I am sure TATA has deal with Ford in what concerns parts and spare aso because I don't think they bought it just to find out later that they have to stop production due to parts shortages.
I think this is more to boost confidence in TATA management and products by putting TATA and DAIMLER in the same sentence. Thought Daimler Crsler diesels are not exactly best in the world. FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

I heard TATA deal includes parts from Ford - for 5 years I think!

I had a Jag and when I looked under vehicle most parts had FORD written on them - but I also had an Mg and when they went under it turned out Caterpillar were the parts supplier - may be same with LR Confused

You most certainly are right.
But some of the parts aremake inscripted just to make you feel good. I had a Lancia which had the battery inscripted with Lancia but obviously was not produced by them . Pbobably Varta or whatever and inscripted to mke you think that there is some hidden Lancia specification there. Nowdays most parts are stantardrised and out sourced.
On my Peugeot the medical kit was Peugeot inscripted and they surely are not medical suppliers.
Now Catterpillar parts migh suggest a more resistent part which is not bad. FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

Don't you worry about (spare) parts for our Freely 2's. TATA has made sufficient arrangements with Ford to ensure availability for at least the next 10 years. As Mercedes holds (at present) 7% of the TATA-shares they
have made availability of spares a precondition for the LR-deal with Ford.
