AROnline link below and the comments that follow make for some interesting reading......

"The recent BBC series Making Cars Live revealed the extraordinary lengths BMW goes to at Cowley to ensure that the customer gets a well-built, reliable vehicle. The logic behind this is that a satisfied customer is more likely to be a returning customer. The irony is that, for some of the British Leyland period, there was probably next to no quality control at Cowley, a period from at least 1975 to 1987. This was a crucial time, as Cowley was the factory earmarked to produce the cars that were meant to generate a profit for the volume cars division of BL."
