I had a new turbo replaced on my Freelander 2 and 2 hours after driving away from the land rover dealership and the first time driving around a mini roundabout and putting the car into a full lock, right turn the power steering completely failed with liquid pouring out of the bottom of the car.
Do you think the replacement of the turbo could have also caused the power steering failure if the turbo replacement had not been carried out correctly or is it likely the two are totally separate events?
 
Many thanks Col.
I wasn't sure if there is a power steering pipe in the vicinity of the turbo and it might of been 'cocked up' in the process of fitting the new turbo

It does seem a bit of a coincidence. How old is your FL2 though? Some of them have been around for a while. I've no idea of the FL2 engine compartment layout and turbo to power steering pipe location. The power steering pipes should be able to withstand a wack with the end of a spanner, caused by a numpty fitting your turbo, unless they are old and corroded/perished.
