Land Rover Diagnostics | Worthing, West Sussex
Land Rover Fault Finding
Warning light on the dash, stuck in limp mode or your Land Rover down on power? Our Land Rover fault finding specialists at our Tarring Road garage in Worthing use Jaguar Land Rover diagnostic software and manufacturer data to find the real cause, then explain it clearly and give you a quote before any repair work starts.
Dealer-Level Equipment
Why Choose Cedar Garage for Land Rover Fault Finding?
Land Rovers combine air suspension, Terrain Response, electronic parking brakes and complex engine management, so one fault can trigger several warnings at once. Proper Land Rover diagnostics means reading every control unit, checking live data and testing the wiring and components involved, so you only pay for the parts that have actually failed. As Land Rover specialists, our technicians work on Land Rovers every day, from the Defender and Discovery to the Discovery Sport and Freelander, and we've invested in the training and equipment to match the main dealer.
Some faults take a little time to track down and repair, so we can collect your Land Rover and return it when the work is done, or provide a hire car while it's with us. We'll always talk you through the repair options, costs and timings, so you can decide what happens next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Land Rover Diagnostics and Fault Finding FAQs
What does Land Rover fault finding involve?
We plug in specialist Land Rover diagnostic equipment to read any fault codes, then test the parts involved to find the real cause. We'll explain what's wrong in plain English and give you a quote before any work goes ahead.
How much does Land Rover fault finding cost?
We start with an initial fault finding check at a fixed price, which we'll confirm when you book. If the fault needs more time to track down, we'll always ask you first.
How long does Land Rover fault finding take?
Many faults can be found while you wait. Some take longer to track down, so we'll give you an idea of timings when you book and keep you updated. Hire cars are available if you need one.
Can I still drive my Land Rover with a warning light on?
If a light is red or flashing, stop as soon as it's safe and give us a call. If it's amber and the car feels normal, you can usually drive gently, but book it in for fault finding soon. Not sure? Call our Worthing team on 01903 248967.
Why is my Land Rover in limp mode or losing power?
Limp mode is your Land Rover protecting itself after it has spotted a problem, so it cuts power to prevent damage. Drive gently and book it in for fault finding, and we'll find out what's causing it.
Can you fix Land Rover AdBlue faults?
Yes. If you're seeing an AdBlue warning on your dashboard, don't ignore it, as some warnings count down to the car not restarting. Book in and we'll find the cause and fix it.
What does a 'Suspension fault' warning mean on my Land Rover?
It means your Land Rover has spotted a problem with its suspension, and you may notice it sitting lower than usual. Book it in for fault finding and we'll find the cause, so only what's needed gets replaced.
Why is there blue smoke coming from my Land Rover's exhaust?
Blue smoke usually means the engine is burning oil. It can get worse over time, so book in for fault finding and we'll find out what's causing it.
Do you carry out Range Rover diagnostics too?
Yes. Our Tarring Road team also find and fix faults on the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Velar and Evoque. Find out more on our Range Rover fault finding page.
Do I need the main dealer for software updates or programming?
No. We have Land Rover software and can carry out updates, programming and coding here, so your Land Rover can be diagnosed, repaired and set up all in one place.
Will using an independent garage affect my Land Rover warranty?
No. You can have your Land Rover looked after by an independent garage without affecting its manufacturer's warranty, as long as the right parts and procedures are used. Our repairs also come with a 12-month guarantee.
