Suspension Fluid in France

Hello
Bit of a long shot but I'm in rural France on holiday and I need to top up the tank for my suspension. I have a 2011 RRS 3.0 HSE can anyone help with what can be used as I am unable to get to a Land Rover garage, can power steering fluid be used until I get home?
Thanks in advance

Could see if you can find some Ravenol SSF or Texaco cold climate p/s oil or equivalent, Personally I don't think I would top it up with anything like Dextron III p/s oil.

Cheers

I am unable to get hold of anything like that here, I'm hoping someone knows of a simpler alternative until I get back to the UK

is an alternative to pull one of the wiring clips from the valve block, to force an error and stop the dynamic response from operating? A long shot, but maybe worth a try ....

... is the reservoir empty / any ideas why its run low?

I think the problem is even if you disable the system from working by disconnecting the wires, the pump will still be running, so depending on how much oil has been lost it could still damage the pump if run dry or starved of oil.
