    LandRover build quality

    I've had a series1, two TDIs (2000 and 3000), a TD5, and now a 2015 Disco.
    The latest Disco's build quality is so much higher, very un-Landrover.
    How was this achieved?
    2003 D2a Auto TD5 good Landy gone
    2015 D4 probably the most amazing yet, why get a RR?

    Foreign investment from a man that wants British luxury but can't get that from his own car company.

    Nope, it's quite clear to me. BMW owned LR for the D2 but it didn't really make any difference and the Ford came along for the building of the D3 and brought modern quality control to the LR plants and changed the game.

    Tata came along after and injected cash to keep it all going and get new models off the ground but it was Ford who brought them into the 21st Century.

    Very likely. One article I recall reading, cited Ford reading the riot act to LR component suppliers very early in their tenure. It seems that component suppliers were a part of the unreliability being experienced at the time, and that a high proportion of components were simply not to specification. ( but were accepted as part of the culture at the time )
    I would think this was just one aspect of the changes initiated by them.

    I believe Tata built a whole new fully automated factory for LR.

    I was being a little sarcastic there - and having a stab that Fords are at the same time
