 Land Rover - Wikicars
In Britain, the Land Rover fell from favour with the farming community with the arrival of less expensive Japanese alternatives, with Daihatsu Fourtracks and Isuzu Troopers becoming a common sight on farms around the country, until rust eventually ended their working lives.
The use of Land Rovers by the UK and Commonwealth military as well as on long term civilian projects and expeditions is mainly due to the superior off-road performance of the marque.
Land Rover still makes heavy use of the British Leyland parts bin on its older models (the Defender and Freelander in particular), and this as well as its parts-sharing scheme often cited as the cause of many malfunctions, it now appears that Ford is attempting to legitimately address the Land Rover quality issues.

 Socialism Today - Rover and the world-wide car industry crisis
The car bosses have traditionally threatened to build their factories elsewhere if the workers don't accept the speed-up proposals, but as commentators like Rhys have pointed out, the cost of labour in the overall cost of producing a car is a relatively minor factor.
The big international car monopolies are well aware of each others 'commercial secrets', they only hide behind 'the threat to competition' to sew confusion into the minds of workers.
Car workers internationally can emulate them now when they are facing the crisis of over-capacity in their industry, drawing up a plan to use the skills of car workers in the production of efficient and convenient means of public transport, and more environmentally-friendly models of road transport.
