Detailed servicing for our customer's Land Rover Discovery Sports

At Zuver, we take pride in delivering excellent servicing for all vehicles. Recently, we had the pleasure of working on a gorgeous Land Rover Discovery Sports that came in for its routine maintenance check. We fully understand how important it is to keep every part of a vehicle in top shape. In this post, we will walk you through the key servicing tasks we performed on this remarkable SUV. Our goal was to ensure it runs smoothly for years to come and keeps providing an exceptional driving experience.

Replacing the Engine Oil and Engine Oil Filter

Changing the engine oil and filter regularly is critical for any vehicle. During this service, we thoroughly drained the old oil and replaced it with manufacture recommended engine oil for the Discovery Sports. A new engine oil filter to ensure contaminants won't mix with the fresh oil.

Replacing the Air Filter

The air filter plays an essential role in engine performance. A clean filter ensures that the engine gets enough air while filtering out dust and road debris. Following our service, we replaced it, allowing the engine to breathe better. This means fewer trips to the gas station and more savings over time.

Checking Battery with Midtronic Battery Tester

Next, we focused on the battery, a vital component for a reliable vehicle. A battery testing is not just measuring it with a multimeter. Using the Midtronic battery tester, we checked the battery’s health and state of charge. The test revealed that the battery was functioning well, which is key to avoiding unexpected shutdowns, especially during the needs for high current for example during the first crank in the morning .

For any car owners, regular battery checks can prolong battery life and signal when it's time for a replacement. A fully functioning battery can make starting the vehicle easier and prevent electrical issues down the line.

Replacing the Cabin Filter

The cabin filter is often overlooked during routine servicing, yet it is essential for maintaining good air quality inside the vehicle. We replaced the cabin filter in the Discovery Sports to ensure that the interior air remains free from allergens and pollutants, providing a healthier environment for our customers.

A new cabin filter can reduce airborne particles, making a noticeable difference, especially for those who suffer from allergies or respiratory issues.

Checking Tyres

Next, we conducted a comprehensive tyre check. Tyres are vital for safety, handling, and fuel efficiency. Additionally, we checked and correct the tyre pressures according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Regular tyre maintenance is essential for safety and can also improve fuel efficiency, resulting in increased mileage.

Checking Brakes

Safety is a top priority in vehicle servicing. We meticulously inspected the Discovery Sports brake system, looking at the brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels. We also checks brake disc for signs of uneven wear.

A well-maintained brake system decreases stopping distance and enhances overall safety, regardless during off-road adventures or urban driving.

Checking the Undercarriage

We also performed an inspection of the undercarriage, an area often exposed to dirt and debris. By checking for leaks, cracks, or rust, we made sure the vehicle's off-road, safety and comfort capabilities remained intact. Neglecting this part of the vehicle can lead to significant repair costs and affecting the comfort during driving.

Addressing the Wiper Washer Pipe Leak

While conducting our routine checks, we discovered a leak with one of the wiper washer pipe. A leaking washer can compromise visibility when needing to clean the windshield for better vision, which is a serious safety concern. We swiftly replaced the damaged pipe.

Although it just a pipe, accessing it required us to remove the wiper panel in order to access the repair.

This repair illustrates the importance of addressing minor issues during servicing—catching small problems early can save car owners from larger repairs and inconveniences down the line.

Concluding the servicing with a Diagnostic scans

A diagnostic scan is a critical procedure performed on vehicles to ensure that all electronics and sensors are functioning according to their specified parameters. This process goes beyond a simple visual inspection, as it delves deep into the vehicle's electronic systems, identifying potential issues that may not be immediately apparent.

During a diagnostic scan, specialised equipment connects to the vehicle’s onboard computer system, allowing technicians to access a wealth of information about the vehicle's performance and health. Modern vehicles are equipped with numerous sensors and electronic components that monitor everything from engine performance to transmission efficiency, and many of these systems can generate fault codes when something goes awry.
