Is It Time for Service on My 1996 Land Rover Discovery Cooling System?

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Land Rover Discovery radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it’s vital to know what to look for.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 1996 Land Rover Discovery is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. To keep your radiator functioning, Land Rover recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light.
