It was a sad loss for a respected marque that made everything mechanical in the one place, engine, gearboxes, axles, chassis, suspension all in London. No outsourcing engines from elsewhere. The Japanese truck and bus makers believe the heart of their products are their engine, hence why they resist outsourcing to vendor engine makers such as Cummins, Detroit Diesel or Caterpillar, and persist with their own very reliable highly tested power plants despite difficulties meeting emission regs. If only Britain had that luxury of having a commercial vehicle builder with that philosophy.

Land Rover thought they could bolt a turbo on the 2.5 NA and that would sort the problem but the engines were very unreliable with cracked pistons and cracked heads… it wasn’t until early 90s when the defender had a true reliable turbo diesel with the 200tdi but by that time the world had moved on yet again! The British vehicle manufacturers always tended to try and cure the problem too late…to me being the suspicious old bastard that I am really makes me wonder why… personally I think it was all part of the denationalisation of the UK.

You will note these timelines have a lot in common the 1960/70/80s when industrial action by the unions for the most trivial reasons was rife in this country. So all these wistful comments on the demise of the British truck industry is somewhat hollow as it was partly self inflicted. The later ones ERF/Fodens were under that bastion of a government that did nothing to support manufacturing - New Labour when the % of manufacturing plummeted for what were hardly the halcyon days of the 1980s.

These industries cannot survive if the political will is not there to help them. No industry can survive anywhere unless politics is on the same side. Sadly the UK is full on neoliberal which is open yer legs to get raped by every corporation on the planet mindset. Free trade often means allowing the vultures to circle and pick off all the assets of any value and dispose the rest. If a country that builds air-craft gets access to the UK market and that country heavily subsidises that air-craft manufactufer then the UK manufacturers will be at an instant disadvantage. The UK Government mantra after Thatcher was sink or swim, coupled with bat shit crazy unionism and out of touch management meant our industry sank. I was born in 1980, but looking at history the 70's was a turbulent time with the UK still in a class war after WW2. A lot of attitudes of workers in the 70's appeared to be stinking, I unserstand that not all were like this but it only takes a handful of rotten apples to spoil everything. Being from Scotland I call the attitude of blokes of a certain age group; 70's Scotsman syndrome. Which involves acting like a pigeon chested hardman, arguing with yer own shadow, manipulative and passive aggressive behaviour, and a fuck you I'm number 1 attitude. No wonder heavy industry fled Scotland in the 70's and early 80's, I worked with Blokes from this era in the early 90's as an apprentice and thought I had gone back to Primary School, the behaviour was shocking. A lot of the issue is management, apathy and piss poor worker attitude and failing to modernise. If I owned a manufacturing business I would not set up in the UK, there are great hard working people here , but this country has too many destructive, difficult to deal with vindictive types in its ranks that would destroy yer business over night. I know, I have had to work with them 😣.
