Why does my Discovery’s check engine light come on when I start it?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your Discovery testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Why is my Land Rover Discovery making engine noise?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Land Rover Discovery engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

What could damage my Land Rover Discovery engine?

Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving the engine while still in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Can I put water in my Land Rover Discovery radiator?

While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your Discovery radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.

What can cause the engine in my Discovery to suddenly stop?

If your Discovery car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
