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 LR3's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2005 Land Rover LR3

Your LR3’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your LR3’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2005 Land Rover LR3, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Land Rover's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Land Rover LR3 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2005 Land Rover LR3 drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Land Rover LR3 may need driveshaft attention if you feel vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. 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. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Land Rover LR3.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2005 Land Rover LR3? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
