So I guess my question is; How does the b/up camera compare on the RR and while I'm at at it how does it compare with tailgate / rear end rattles ?? as again I've read with astonishment that the E70's still have that inherent bloody rattle that I think every E53 ever built has got at some stage in its life ??

Thanks X Foomph! Funny username...trying phoenetically to say 5 in German? Fünf!!
The backup camera is/was awful on the E70, I mean truly dreadful. I have a feeling it is the same supplier for Range Rover...although daytime clarity, colours and focus is about 25-40% better on my Range Rover, than on the E70. Nighttime camera usuage on the Rover, is about as bad as the E70. Both the Range Rover & E70 started offering the backup camera at about the same time, so that is why I think it is a shared part, and also when I start to drive away, the camera stays on for a while, just as in the E70. MBZ and Lexus turn off right away, once the gear is selected in D (and both MBZ & Lexus are crystal clear, day or night!). So, my camera is somewhat better in the Rover, but still subpar, IMO. NO rear rattles at all in the Range Rover!!! Knock on wood/Touch wood! We had 2 2004 X5s, and no rattles either. My '07 E70 rattled like crazy, but my '08 did not rattle at all. So far, my Range Rover feels so tight, solid, quiet..and the interior build quality is leaps & bounds above the E70 (which is by no means bad)!
