Welcome to the forum. Your best bet would be to post this in the Range Rover forum.
My sympathies, if it really does need an ECU then a Land Rover dealership will fleece you very professionally indeed. I would have thought that there was some form of reverse voltage protection - a fuse or fuseable link to protect the electronics and I would ask the question, but modern cars are so sensitive to the power supply you may well have done some very expensive damage.

No words.
Trip to Spec-Savers for you my lad for a colour-blindness and "+/-" shapes test.
I should imagine LR will make sure that it is a painful experience and one that maximises their trading position globally.
You could be in for a few hundred for a moments carelessness. Oops!
But what the heck, if you can afford a luxo-barge like that its chicken-feed isn't it?

Im going to take into account 8 words of what you have posted as useful information. As for the rest of it i will just try to ignore as it is unhelpful and insulting.
Sorry mate but your a bit new.
And as the 2 ^^^^ have said (good guys by the way) it’s probably gonna get expensive.
If your handy with electronic stuff and have diagnostics and can find a scrapper with all the bits and plenty of time and patience . Then you may save a bit, with help. But with such a new RR it could still be difficult.
But by the sounds of it you don’t have that ability?
We like a laugh on here and if you can’t suck up your mistakes and allow a bit of humour to get involved then...
Have a laugh and lighten up.

Your going to fit in here so well. Make sure to visit the AG section for careful, considered and gentle interactions that have a lot of "mirth" attached.
Read your op and see how courteous it sounds...we all like to help but a bit of manners helps...

Oh bugger! I am so sorry. I have put him off. I didn't realise it was cold enough for snowflakes.
My Bad
Will try a lot harder to be gentle, warm and engaging.

No, don't go, we were just getting to like you.
You won't find a better forum than this one for depth of knowledge and real help. Take a deep breath and let's all start again. Me included.

Only one party in this dialogue got their "wires-crossed" I think.
I do feel bad. It's Friday and I was only joking with him.
I have not met too many blokes that get to 40 and are still so "sensitive" and banter-averse. But hey-ho.
It was his intro that bothered me after his reply to you...

I suppose it was a little bit "Hey answer my questions, without a Please or Thank-you."
I wonder if he is a "Hairdresser" and he has just traded up from a Freelander?
Now im the bad guy!!!!! Nice knowing you for a short while.

Grow a pair would ya. jeez
Jump starting a modern RR is a risk even when done right..
Incorrectly jump starting one will almost certainly fry something..
The Dealer will sting you in that regard as fixing it won't be cheap.
