2006 Range Rover

I recently purchased a 2006 Range Rover HSE (not supercharged) and I must say that I am very surprised at the build quality of this vehicle. Everyone always bashes Land Rover for poor quality but after 2 short months and 2500 miles everything is perfect. Could they have overcome their qulity issues? I gotta say, its a great vehicle to drive! Any thoughts? Anyone know of a good forum for Range Rovers?

This has to be some kind of 70's stigma... surely the Brits have their electrical quality bloody sorted out by now, eh?

well, a guy in the garage where i park mine, bought one of those normal Rovers second hand...he told me , i joked about it... he went to pick it up... first time in the car wash , his dash board suddendly had some indicator signals go on the blink...

EDIT, normal rover, i mean a regular car, one of the last models.
doesn't look to flashy , but full leather interior, all options , seems a bit boring, but looked well built and luxureous...
