Lets see how JLR deal with this......

Mark, they're not faults. That's how LR build 'em

I got this one you mentioned, but it's the same on both sides,so figured thats normal.

"Drivers Rear Quarter seal cut short - 3mm gap''

heat expansion gap?

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.

Thats a shame.....

On a more positive note, JLR are going to sort it...

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.
