RE: Build quality

If they can't get the build quality right on models which cost £70k+, I really don't see what people were expecting. I guess those new to the brand will be shocked. It was hoped LR would sort out their issues with a new model, but it's a shame to see this clearly hasn't happened across the board. You get a lot lot more for your money with LR than you would with German equivalents but I am beginning to see areas where they save and use materials and methods that would never make it into a German car.

Correction.....i DON'T have this problem. I just looked at your pics (which i did'nt do before) , and it's not what i thought it was, therefor, i'd have to say, mine checks out really well overall.
