The 48 pin connector is there. Since your vehicle didn't have the e-diff. the connector is blank.

On the left side of the vehicle, right behind the rear wheel (on top of the frame rail) . There's a 48 pin connector. On yours, the connector will be capped off.
The rear diff harness plugs into this connector.
The Discovery Sport is reliable.
Most issues are due to lack of maintenance.
Always do oil changes at 5k to 10k miles. Going 21k miles like JLR says, will cause the engine to sludge up.
Maintenance costs will always be higher on European vehicles.
All cloud based systems down.

The dealership would have to run your VIN and see if the part is covered. A diagnosis will have to be done by the dealership to ensure that is what's triggering the MIL.
I could run the VIN for you. Unfortunately, JLR's system got hacked.

Usually, a sludged up motor can cause the cams to snap. Doesn't appear to be the case here.
