Are Land Rover dealers struggling?

The 'blame' was due to a no deal/tariff situation. If you haven't noticed the financial markets are well off their highs as is London property. Nothing to do with Brexit. A typical JLR customer has probably taken a 20%+ hit in their stock holding either directly or through a pension. It's called a cycle and we have had a very long run. Any company of this size should plan for macro events. JLRs problems relate to Diesel and their pricing/quality but it's easier to blame someone else for their mistakes.
You are obviously heavily invested in the brexit debate but to come out with “brexit has Nothing to do with the downturn in car sales” is just 
Pure speculation. A look at the data and it’s Diesel which is the lions share of the decline. Aston and McLaren have no such drop. Brexit may never happen. And it’s hardly the Governments fault. The deal as it stands isn’t bad for car manufacturers. The uncertainty is due to Parliament most likely voting it down. You’ve heard it said ad nauseam that the dealer network is poor. I’ve experienced it first hand. Ignore it if you will.

+1 for Sturgess Leicester on my RRS and purchase of new Velar due in February.
My 13 plate defender bought from Sturgess Leicester and serviced by Sturgess Leicester had a pipe from the turbo burst. Made the Defender limp at 30 mph so undriveable. This happened last week of November. First appointment was 27th December The LR warranty did not cover this pipe either. I got it repaired by my local little garage who repaired it in 2 days.including LandRover spares supplying the incorrect part on day one. If a one man band can offer that turn a round why is Sturgess of Leicester not able to
Sturgess Leicester service has gradually got worse over the years
Prior to this event I had just sold my 65 plate X5 with the intention of buying a new RR sporT
Having no faith in the brand I bought an XC90 not from Sturgess I might add and primarily primarily due to both LR and BMW service centres I have used over a number of years being consistantly rubbish
