NB,,if you decide to have your fuel drained elsewhere and not at a LR dealer, restrictions will come into force on your warranty..
I appreciate your comments are from Land Rover's authorised perspective, but legally that is not the case. Under EU law if the service, whatever it may be is carried out correctly to the manufacturers specification no restriction can be placed on a warranty and it would be for Land Rover to show that it contributed to any future problem.
At the end of the day they have to find out first 
The cost of this repair work is not Land Rover's responsibility. If the customer does not have all of the appropriate work carried out, warranty may be refused on all affected components.
In order for Land Rover to record instances of petrol being added to diesel vehicles where the approved repair has not been carried out, dealers and Importers must complete and return Warranty Restriction Notice For Incorrectly Fueled Vehicles...They will find out if a a component from the fuel side does get sent back for warranty after a repaired has been carried out,,let's say a missfire and the dealer changed an injector eg.
The AA could have really shot themselves in the foot with what they alleged to have said to that chap in the previous thread.They do have this fuel assist service and i can say LR do not allow this practice at this time and it will invalidate the warranty on the fuel system and any other related failures.

Seems everyone's doing it now
Quote:A police force put 26 of its cars out of action by filling up with the wrong fuel, it was reported.
Officers working for North Wales Police cost the taxpayer nearly £3,000 in the last 12 months by pumping gallons of petrol into their diesel engines, reported the Welsh Daily Post.
In 2006 the force introduced bright yellow filler cap covers marked with the word "diesel".
But that did not stop officers making the same mistake 26 times.
Some police forces are installing state-of-the-art light-activated devices which play a recorded message to remind motorists they are driving a diesel.
The RAC said in the last decade it has recorded a 385% increase in the number of call-outs to drivers filling up with the wrong fuel.

Yeh all at it
"RED-FACED cops have revealed the high cost of accidentally filling up police cars with the wrong fuel.
So called misfuelling, in which petrol is put into a diesel engine or vice versa, is costing Essex Police thousands of pounds a year.
A whopping £42,000 had to be paid out in repairs over the past five years, according to police figures released to the Gazette"
It was also reported that it was a total of 222 time's ....idiots  G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Absolutely spot on. This came about in the mid 90's with the invasion of grey imports and opening up the market to some competition, breaking the monopoly that you HAD to use a authorised dealer for service work or you lose your warranty.
As long as the servicing company is working to the approved standards and using approved parts, then there can be no detriment to the warranty under EU law.
This is the main reason that a lot of the japanese marques are being imported from Malta, as they carry a EU warranty that must be honoured. Motorpoint being a main importer of these cheaper cars.
