A Ford dealership near to me is currently selling 80% petrol cars. Diesel has dropped off the scale for owners looking ahead at resale values. JLR cars are at the expensive end with a huge potential for depreciation.

Next on the hitlist, small turbo engines which aren't efficient

Sorry? Small turbo engines not efficient? I think you'll find they will be the future. Not sure I like it though...

They threw everything into the diesel car which are now the devil incarnate but let’s blame brexit

So what is the short, medium and long term for Land Rover which in all fairness is a brand for mud plugging and the perfect fuel for that is diesel.
