In a job such as yours, you can foresee trends long before they become evident to the general public.
I was talking to someone who works for a company that tests new cars for manufacturers. He told me that the amount of cheap parts in expensive cars is frightening.

spuds, if you see what comes off the presses that, goes on cars. you will get a nasty shock. Parts with blisters and marks on, which is normally on parts where you are not likely to notice, or is covered up, Like the door foot wells, inner dash sides, side sills. You should see the bently stuff that comes off, before it gets wrapped
I think i did mention on here about the production been parked before it even hit the public
Like i say i can keep my ears open and i can ask about INEOS when they are expected to order parts again, as there will be some very large orders no doubt, depending on how many people have ordered an INEOS. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

I'm not sure that there really is a hiccup in production, anywhere other than the minds of the internet ill-wishers.
