The bad news is that there will be temporary shutdown at Land Rover’s factory in Halewood, Merseyside which produces the Freelander.

300 Jobs would also be lost at Halewood once the production of X-type comes to an end. Jaguar Land Rover have said that the loses will be through voluntary redundancies.
