Does a bumper repair on my Discovery Sport affect the radar?

Yes. The front radar sensor sits behind the lower grille on the Discovery Sport. Any work that involves removing or refitting the front bumper — even minor cosmetic repairs — can shift the radar from its factory alignment. Adaptive Cruise Control and Autonomous Emergency Braking both rely on this sensor working accurately.

My Discovery Sport's Lane Keep Assist stopped working after a windscreen replacement. Is this normal?

On 2020+ Discovery Sport models, Lane Keep Assist uses the windscreen-mounted camera. If your windscreen was replaced and the camera wasn't recalibrated, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and AEB visual detection will all be affected. A windscreen calibration at £199 restores all camera-dependent systems.

Do pre-facelift Discovery Sports (2015–2019) need ADAS calibration?

Yes — even earlier models have AEB, Lane Departure Warning, and Blind Spot Assist that require calibration after relevant repairs. The 2020+ facelift added more systems, but the pre-facelift radar and camera still need professional recalibration using OEM-grade targets.

Can I get my Discovery Sport ADAS calibrated at a Land Rover dealer instead?

You can, but dealer calibration typically costs significantly more and requires booking weeks in advance. We use the same OEM-grade equipment and manufacturer-approved methods, with fixed transparent pricing and availability at 70+ workshops across the UK.

Discovery Sport ADAS Calibration — From £199

Land Rover Discovery Sport ADAS Calibration

The Discovery Sport is the best-selling Land Rover in the UK – and our most-calibrated Land Rover model. The front radar sits behind the lower grille, which means any bumper repair, minor front-end collision, or even a grille badge swap puts it out of alignment. If your Discovery Sport's Adaptive Cruise Control has stopped working or you're seeing AEB warnings after bodywork, the radar needs recalibration.

ADAS Systems on the Discovery Sport

The Discovery Sport (L550, 2015–present) carries a comprehensive ADAS package that has expanded with each model year:

2015–2019 models:

Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) – standard from launch
Lane Departure Warning – windscreen camera-based
Blind Spot Assist – rear quarter radar sensors in the bumper corners
Parking sensors and rear camera

2020+ facelift models add:

Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist – front long-range radar behind the lower grille
Lane Keep Assist – active lane centering (upgraded from warning-only)
Rear Traffic Monitor – warns of crossing traffic when reversing
ClearSight Rear View – digital rear-view mirror using roof-mounted camera
3D Surround Camera System – four cameras creating a bird's-eye view (on higher trims)

The radar sensor behind the lower grille is the most vulnerable component – it's the first thing affected by front-end repairs. The windscreen-mounted camera handles lane systems and needs recalibration after any windscreen replacement.

Common Calibration Triggers for the Discovery Sport

Radar Calibration After Bumper or Grille Work

People specifically search "how to calibrate Land Rover Discovery Sport radar sensor" – and for good reason. The front radar is tucked behind the lower grille section, making it exposed during any bumper removal, front parking sensor replacement, or cosmetic grille work. Once the bumper goes back on, the radar alignment is almost certainly off.

Windscreen Replacement Affecting Camera Systems

The windscreen-mounted camera drives Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist (on 2020+ models), and contributes to AEB. After windscreen replacement, this camera must be recalibrated – if your windscreen company couldn't complete the calibration, we handle what they can't.

Multi-System Faults After Collision

A front-end collision on a Discovery Sport can trigger simultaneous faults across the radar (ACC/AEB), windscreen camera (lane systems), and surround cameras. Our collision calibration covers all affected systems in a single appointment. The full-size Discovery shares many of these systems but with additional ClearSight and Wade Sensing complexity, while the Range Rover Sport carries the premium specification.

Discovery Sport Calibration Pricing
