Jaguar Land Rover has temporarily stopped production on car lines at its Solihull plant because of a parts issue involving a supplier.

The pause will last for about two weeks, a period which includes an already-planned shutdown over Easter, according to Reuters.

It will impact the production of Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models.

A JLR spokesperson said: "Due to a part supply challenge with a supplier, we are temporarily pausing production on certain vehicle lines at our Solihull manufacturing facility. We are working closely with that supplier to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and minimise any impact on our clients or our operations."

Colleagues will be attending site as usual.

The company previously said production had since returned to normal levels.
