An exciting end to last week here at Toy Barn Automotive! 🔧

We’ve expanded our workshop capabilities with the installation of a brand-new vehicle lift, and it certainly didn’t take long to put it to work.

The first vehicle on the new ramp? A rather smart Range Rover, in with us for a full service and comprehensive maintenance check.

A great addition to the workshop and another step forward in the level of service and technical capability we can offer our customers.

⚠️ A dashboard full of warning lights doesn’t always mean a major mechanical failure ⚠️

This vehicle arrived with multiple warning messages, but after carrying out a full diagnostic assessment, the root cause was traced to a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor. A single failed sensor can disrupt communication between multiple control modules, triggering several warning lights across the dashboard.

After replacing the faulty sensor with a genuine Landrover part and clearing the fault codes, the system was fully restored and the customer was back on the road.

Gearbox fault diagnosed and repaired 💥

This Discovery Sport was recovered to us with a loss of drive. Following our standard diagnostic procedure, including fault code analysis, live data evaluation and hydraulic system checks, we identified the fault as an internal gearbox failure.

Further investigation confirmed the root cause was transmission fluid degradation. The degraded oil had compromised hydraulic pressure and oil supply within the transmission, resulting in internal component failure and loss of drive.

The repair involved:
• Replacement Reconditioned JLR Transmission
• Genuine JLR transmission fluid
• Clutch adaptation and calibration using manufacturer-level diagnostics
• Post-repair road testing and final system checks

The vehicle is now operating exactly as it should and has been returned to the customer, ready for many more miles.

Regular transmission servicing is often overlooked, but maintaining fluid quality is critical to the performance and longevity of modern automatic gearboxes
