Prime Minister praises JLR during visit to new engine plant

Prime Minister David Cameron today praised Jaguar Land Rover as he made a surprise visit to the firm’s brand new £500 million engine production facility in Wolverhampton.

But Audi are working on fixing that, and fixing the biggest criticism of the Q7 in the process – its sheer weight and size.
