The Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull halts MG6 production
A small white plume of ash, dust and steam rises from the volcano erupting beneath Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier
The report from the Sina news agency ( http://auto.sina.com.cn/car/2010-04-29/1858596584.shtml ) doesn't have much detail but suggests that production of MG6 and Roewe 550 cars is being suspended due to a lack of parts from Europe, quite what part Eyjafjallajokull has played isn't clear, could it be that they have run out of head gaskets for the Kavachi (volcanic) engines fitted to the MG6 and Roewe 550!
XPart also get a mention with a note that they are to continue to support the almost six million owners of MG - Rover produced cars.
Maybe the most interesting part of the story is the proof that the Chinese cars are assembled in China from European parts!
