About my Land Rover

How can I improve my Land Rover's performance?

Diesel engines run most efficiently between 1200 and 2000rpm. Petrol engines are best between 1500 and 2500 rpm. Changing gear earlier to stay within these engine speeds will help improve your fuel consumption, as will using the Dynamic function on your in-car navigation system to avoid stop-start conditions on congested roads. 

What's my vehicle's warranty?

All Land Rovers come with the following warranties: 3 year unlimited mileage, 3 year unlimited mileage paint surface and 6 year unlimited mileage corrosion (perforation). To qualify, you must service your vehicle according to our recommendations.

Can I extend the warranty on my Land Rover?

Yes, this is highly recommended. Ask your local dealership about an extra 12 months extended warranty from Land Rover Approved.

When should I have my Land Rover serviced?

Defenders and Freelanders should be serviced every 12,000 miles or 12 months, whichever is soonest. The Freelander 2 and Discovery 3 should be serviced every 15,000 miles. The new model Range Rover and Range Rover Sport have automatic servicing indicators. Regular servicing is crucial for your car's efficiency – clogged air filters can increase fuel consumption by 10%. Incorrect tyre pressure and wheel alignment, or fitting off-road tyres for road use will all damage your fuel efficiency.

Service Interval Table

Main services

Servicing must be carried out as recommended by Land Rover during the life of the vehicle. They are also crucial to maintain your Land Rover's efficiency.  This will also help keep your Land Rover at optimal performance.

Arduous operating conditions

To avoid premature wear, your Land Rover will need more frequent servicing if you've driven in severe conditions, such as off-road in mud, dust or airborne sand, at high speeds, or in temperatures above 50C.  Contact your dealer or authorised repairer for more information.

End of life procedures

Land Rover was one of the first motor manufacturers to comply with recent legislation, requiring environmentally responsible procedures for the end of our vehicles' lives. Working with Cartakeback.com, we relieve the last registered owner of their defunct vehicle, free of charge.

The UK has been experiencing hazardous road conditions after freezing temperatures hit the UK with severe snow falling in many areas.

Land Rover has 60 years of driving experience, with a line-up of supremely capable vehicles which boast permanent four-wheel drive and pioneering technology such as Electronic Traction Control, Hill Descent Control (HDC) and Terrain Response – which includes a snow setting utilising the vehicles' Traction aids.

Our  experts at Land Rover Experience have put together a few winter driving tips to help you get from A to B as safely as possible:

1. Use the highest practical gear – this limits the amount of Torque and will help to prevent wheel spin

2. Use first gear to provide the maximum control descending hills

3. Clear ice and snow from all windows and lights – even the bonnet and roof – before driving

4. Use all controls (steering, brakes, throttle etc) gently to prevent loss of Traction and control

5. Leave extra distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you – it takes longer to stop in adverse conditions

6. Be prepared if your vehicle starts to skid on an icy road. Take your foot off the brake, step on the clutch or change to neutral and steer into the direction of the skid

7. Ensure you have enough fuel

8. If planning a long journey or venturing off-road, ensure you have a blanket, food and water in case of emergency

9. Before setting out on a journey in bad conditions, make the following checks:

     • Anti-freeze
     • Wipers and windscreen washer fluid
     • Lights
     • Hazard lights
     • Defroster
     • Oil level
     • Tyres and tyre pressure
