Can Land Rover service save me money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

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?

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?

If your Discovery has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the Discovery check engine light on your own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Discovery's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Discovery.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Discovery?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Discovery should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my Discovery drivetrain include the transmission?

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

2004 Land Rover Discovery Drivetrain Service

Your Discovery drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Land Rover, from back to front. It’s one of your Discovery’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2004 Land Rover Discovery, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Land Rover's recommendations.

Land Rover Discovery Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2004 Land Rover Discovery drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Land Rover could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Land Rover Discovery doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2004 Land Rover Discovery? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Major repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
