Independent Land Rover and Range Rover specialist

What do you do for Land Rover and Range Rover owners?

Reverie Autocare is an independent service centre at 57 Great North Road, Welwyn Garden City. For Land Rover, Range Rover, Defender and Discovery owners we offer:

• Servicing to the manufacturer’s schedule and parts specification.
• Automatic gearbox oil service, with the oil and filter changed in-house.
• Diagnosis and repair, from warning messages to suspension, cooling, emissions and engine faults.
• MOT tests in our own Class 4 bay.

We also add the service to the car’s digital service record.

Electric and hybrid Land Rover and Range Rover models are looked after by technicians qualified to work on electric and hybrid vehicles.

How often does a Land Rover need servicing?

Land Rover’s UK service plan terms say services are due at the time intervals set out in the car’s service specification, and that the warranty may be affected if those intervals are missed. So we follow the schedule for your car, not a general rule. Send us the registration and mileage and we will confirm what is due.

Which engine oil goes in my Land Rover?

Oil that meets the Land Rover specification listed for the engine. Land Rover uses its own specification numbers, and they are not the same for every engine. The owner handbook for the car confirms the right one, so we check it for each car before we fill it.

Which brands do you look after?

Jaguar Land Rover now presents Range Rover, Defender, Discovery and Jaguar as brands in their own right, with Land Rover as the name behind the first three. We look after each of them.

Land Rover

Whichever model you drive, the same work applies across the range:

• Servicing and automatic gearbox oil service.
• AdBlue, NOx and EGR: an AdBlue warning, or an engine light with low power and limp mode.
• Battery drain: a flat battery and warning messages after the car has stood.

Range Rover

The Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Velar and Evoque.

• Suspension fault: a “Suspension fault” message, a car sagging overnight, a 30 mph limit or a noisy compressor.
• 5.0 V8 timing chain: a rattle or clicking at idle and on cold start from the 5.0 V8 in the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.
• Coolant leaks: a “Coolant level low” message, a coolant smell or a puddle under the car.
• Turbo faults: low power, a whistle, smoke or limp mode on the V6 diesel Range Rover Sport.
• Ingenium diesel timing chain: a metallic rattle at cold start from the 2.0 diesel in the Evoque and Velar.
• DPF problems and oil dilution: a DPF warning, limp mode or a rising oil level on the 2.0 diesel Evoque and Velar.

Defender

We service, MOT and diagnose the Defender. The V8 Defender uses the 5.0 V8 covered on our 5.0 V8 timing chain page.

Discovery

The Discovery and Discovery Sport.

• Ingenium diesel timing chain: a metallic rattle at cold start from the 2.0 diesel in the Discovery Sport and Discovery 5.
• DPF problems and oil dilution: a DPF warning, limp mode or a rising oil level when short trips stop regeneration from finishing.
• 5.0 V8 timing chain: a rattle or clicking at idle and on cold start from the 5.0 V8 in the Discovery 4.
• Turbo faults: low power, a whistle, smoke or limp mode on the V6 diesel Discovery.

Jaguar

We service, MOT and diagnose Jaguar cars too. Our Jaguar specialist page covers servicing, the gearbox oil service and the Jaguar faults we deal with.

How do you find the cause of a fault?

A fault code is not a repair. We read the fault data, test to prove the cause, and send you a written price and a promised update time before any part is fitted. If we find something else, we send photographs and ask for your written approval before doing it.

Should I check for a recall first?

Yes. Whether a recall applies depends on the individual car, so check your registration on gov.uk. Recall work is done by the manufacturer’s network, not by us.

Do you remove DPF, EGR or AdBlue systems?

No. We repair DPF, EGR and AdBlue systems and never remove or disable them.
