Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport?

• Oxygen sensor or catalytic converter issues are frequent causes, often triggered by rich/lean fuel mixtures or persistent misfires.
• Minor problems like loose gas caps or evaporative system leaks are common and inexpensive if addressed early.
• Untreated issues can lead to more costly repairs—oxygen sensors and exhaust fixes are far cheaper than replacing a failed catalytic converter.
• Our factory-trained technicians at Park Place Land Rover diagnose codes precisely and explain immediate and long-term savings of prompt repair.

How long does a check engine light service take?

• Diagnostic scans typically take 30–60 minutes, with a technician identifying stored or pending codes and performing basic inspections.
• Simple repairs—like replacing a sensor or tightening a cap—can often be completed the same day.
• More complex repairs may require parts ordering; we provide accurate timelines and work to minimize downtime.
• Choosing Park Place Land Rover yields faster, more reliable service—our factory-trained techs and access to genuine parts often reduce repeat visits and long-term costs.
