What Gambalunga says ties in with what I was told by a JLR employee. At the height of the IC crisis, people were given new cars because JLR had absolutely no spare parts to hand out. In some cases used parts were re-used.
Then they wonder why the theft rate went through the roof?
It was suggested to me, by someone in the insurance industry, that the primary reason for increases in Range Rover / Land Rover premiums is the rapid rise in theft to order due to JLR stopping sales to Russia. The vast majority are being taken by professional gangs and shipped outside the UK to 'customers' unable to purchase them direct.
