Can Land Rover service save me money?

How do I know if my Land Rover drivetrain is damaged?

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

When should I come in for Land Rover Discovery differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally 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?

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

Is it possible to reset the Discovery malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Discovery’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Discovery?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Discovery. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Discovery.

Does my Discovery drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Discovery. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
