Can Land Rover drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Land Rover drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Land Rover Discovery Sport, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Land Rover Discovery Sport differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Discovery Sport?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Discovery Sport’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you reset your Discovery Sport’s malfunction warning light at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Discovery Sport?

If your Discovery Sport has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my Discovery Sport transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Discovery Sport’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Discovery Sport forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
