Land Rover Repair

Land Rover may be the hardest car of the European group to service and repair; while their vehicles’ systems are not that different from the other imports Continental services, the availability of parts and service information is more limited. Since 2003 the cars information system and diagnostic pc has been the same as BMWs. As specialists who understand the nuances of Land Rovers with the know-how to locate parts and other resources, we deliver unsurpassed value for the car owner.

We have established the relationships with vendors and the volume of sales to acquire quality parts at discounts quickly, making our service efficient and saving you money. For more than 20 years, we have worked on Land Rovers, and this long history has fostered close, collaborative relationships with numerous Land Rover specialists around the U.S. and in the United Kingdom.

As with all the cars we work on, as well as the ones we don’t, efficient, accurate diagnosis of system problems starts with the ability to communicate clearly with the cars’ computers. Once again, Land Rovers present a special case. The standard generic scanners used by over 90% of the independent repair community have almost no capability to communicate with Land Rovers, and the abilities they do have are solely directed to the engine management system. The balance of the systems that operate your Land Rover—traction control, 4WD control, air suspension control, air conditioning, supplemental restraint systems (air bags), instrumentation and service resets, and entertainment—are almost never covered.

Without Land Rover’s various proprietary diagnostic computer systems, repair shops CANNOT read and erase fault codes, read actual sensor values, command system functions, or code, initialize, and program systems. These computer systems have changed over time; earlier Land Rover models (starting in the early 90’s and working through 2004) used the Omitec T4 system to accomplish these functions on all systems. Starting with the 2005 model year, Land Rover joined with Jaguar in using the Ford-based diagnostic computer IDS. Naturally, Continental Imports has both of these systems.
