I don't suppose you have a part number for the reservoir without the bag?

@Blue8793841 Part number is in Skinnymans invoice above TANK.

Is your car a heavy smoker? 

 

 

Not that I've noticed. Yours is a very similar colour though. I'm assuming yours does smoke a bit?

If coolant has mixed with other type it can turn a brown colour. Is it said to not cause a problem.

 

I'd have hoped a main dealer wouldn't have mixed two different types of coolant.  Having said that, I'm not ruling anything out at the moment.

Definitely. I assume the system has not been flushed properly, to do it properly you would need to do it multiple times. With main dealer garages being on bonus schemes stuff like this usually happens cutting corners to achieve bonus.

 

This is what I'm thinking. The supplying dealer seems to have a different approach to my local dealer.  

The local dealership has sorted a few things out already and I can't fault them at all. 

The car is booked in later this month for them to have a look so hopefully I'll get an honest opinion & they'll sort it out for me. 

I usually take my cars to a trusted independent who would sort this out quite easily but seeing as the car is under a year's warranty, I have to use the main dealer network for now.

Seems my tank has the later cap already fitted, what's the chance it has no bag in the tank too?
