That'll bruise tomorrow...
A chap on the RangeRovers.net forum says a mechanic put coolant into the dynamic response oil reservoir (for steering and front suspension).
LR have quoted GBP20,000 to fix it.

Surely if they drained it immediately and filled it correctly it would be good to go.

Yes I agree - seeming like dealers just doing their stealer thing again. Water in something like that for such a short time with virtually no use is not an issue.
Cleaning it out and all will be good.

the problem is cleaning it out, its a very small hydraulic system, if it got into and stuck behind/in an accumulator or valve void you can get some very nasty results later under varying use conditions.
theres flushing agents that will get rid of it but that usually comes at a reduction in the life of hoses and seals as well as being not cheap and requiring subsequent flush outs.
99+% it'd be fine but that tiny chance is enough for a dealer to provide a wash my hands of it its a complete rebuild quote so if anything does go wrong they're covered on a "we told you so" level

If you've benefited from one or more of my posts please remember, your taxes paid for my skill sets, I'm just trying to make sure you get your monies worth.
If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.
The two things that **** me about that:
*What moron, supposedly a professional would put coolant/water in a tank with a cap like that ... hrmm looks more like a cap for a power steering, fluid suspension etc etc.
*Moron dealers stating "we never flush systems" in the same token as "we dont put used engines in a Discovery 3". YES because they are not paying the bill nor do they give a **** who is.
