Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on in a 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport?

• Check fuel cap seating first — a loose or damaged cap often triggers emissions fault codes and is an easy, low-cost fix.
• Observe drivability: listen for misfires, rough idle, loss of power or unusual noises; these clues help prioritize diagnosis.
• Consider simple checks like oil level and coolant; low fluids can cause related codes.
• For warranty protection and accurate diagnosis, have any needed repairs performed at a certified dealership to ensure coverage.

How long does a check engine light service take?

• Initial diagnostic scan typically takes 30–60 minutes to read codes and perform quick visual checks.
• Simple repairs (e.g., tightening fuel cap, replacing a sensor) are often completed the same day.
• Complex repairs requiring parts or in-depth testing can take a day or more; we provide clear time estimates up front.
