JLR parts delays

[EnglishPhil]

Saw this article by Autocar today and wondered if any one here had experienced any delays with getting new parts?

Got a friend with an evoque that's been at the dealer for 4 weeks cos they're waiting for parts.

JLR decision to move from 19 parts warehouses to one Super Hub where they will supply their entire world distribution network with parts is a massive change. Along with outsourcing the entire contract to Unipart, integrating all of their systems and the requirement to recruit around 1000 people. Not a job for the faint hearted, bit like Lotus developing and building a new car with ramped up volumes and a complete new workforce. Just “perfect storms”. Hopefully they will get on top of it (and they will) soon.

Took mine in for a quick warranty job.
While chatting to the lady behind the desk, she said I was lucky that they have the part and they were buying parts off ebay to keep customers on the road!

Does anyone know if there is still issues with Jaguar parts?

[MajorTom]

Yep. I recently had to wait 5 weeks for a new door skin for my F-Type which can't be normal. The first few weeks JLR couldn't even estimate when it would be delivered although it surely was just an off the shelf part.

I have an IPace as daily drive, thankfully it’s reliable, those that do have issues face several weeks even to get it into the workshop, parts can be several months.

A warranty that provides a courtesy car is highly advisable.

Took 3 weeks to get cam covers for a V6 petrol.

Can't remember the exact timing but I think it was about 4-5 weeks for a new door handle on mine.
