The L-series power unit was the first in-house designed and manufactured direct injection diesel engine for use in Land Rover cars. The manufacture of the engine originally took place in Longbridge, but with decision to concentrate diesels at Solihull, the facility was relocated to the Land Rover plant. In the following years, the Rover Group Company has been split up and Phoenix Venture holdings agreed to purchase the L-series facilities. They decided to move the components of the L series production back to Longbridge. In this article, the author describes how the Powertrain Limited moved a complete assembly facility for the L-series diesel. Today, all the components of the L series production, the head machining, crank processing, and the assembly itself are jewels in the crown of Powertrain facilities.
