Having been to the plant a fair bit, I'm very surprised this has happened. Security has always seemed extremely tight.

Wonder what it will do to production!

When I worked there as a contractor a few years ago they opened the back of my transit van up every time I went home. There were a few thefts of vehicles at the time using a Defender to ram the barrier followed by a few stolen vehicles. They then had huge bollards fitted that come out of the ground to stop them.
I can't believe they don't check the lorrys leaving are empty, I bet someone's got a right rollicking over that. Life's too short to drive boring cars !

Oh crap! My MY17 was due to go in to build this month for delivery next month! Hope this does not delay it as if it gets pushed to April I'll get hit with the higher tax bands

Must be a big demand for LR engines , only reason is they are crap to start with ??? M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW.

Agreed it's Karma for
All the substandard 2.7 and 3.0 engines they've been turning out and burying their head in the sand as they self destruct Nanocom Evo

Sounds like a typical Mail story. If you reckon each engine is worth say £5000 then thats 600 engines on one HGV lorry. Must be one hell of a big truck. And did they really load a HGV with all those engines in 360 secs?

It was retail pricing not cost perhaps ? M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW.

By all accounts the thieves had all the necessary paperwork for entering and exiting the site. Also these trailers would have already been loaded so hitching up and pulling out of there would have taken 10 minutes tops. Someone is indeed in for a . The only thing I find quite surprising is that one trailer was taken and they returned later in the day and took another one WTF oh dear oh dear !!!!!!!! Not even at night

Watch out for a selection of "new and unused" Land Rover engines appearing on e-Bay or maybe they are on their way to West Africa,India/Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Malaysia to put replacement engines in all the stolen RRS's and Disco3's that have ended up out there and suffered engine failure.............. will have to look out for cargo manifests for container loads of new engines in our cargoes over the next few months........ 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

To have all the correct paperwork to get in and out ... and the <balls> to come back for seconds...

Big time inside job. wonder how many 1000's of people work at that plant. That'll be a lot of interviewing for the police SVR with a few bits from Urban and Glohh
