Apparently not - already gone to the wall Sad

Problem now is so many affected other suppliers can't meet demand - BMW are apparently building a factory to sort their own Thumbs Up Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Are LR in the UK affected? It seems to be an issue with high humidity affecting the airbag inflator. Also, does the same inflator get used every where? The US has different requirements to many countries owing to their seat belt laws. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
