The procedures detailed, carried out in the sequence given and using the appropriate service tools, ill enable the operations to be completed in the time stated in the Repair Operation Times. Indexing The con ent pages list the titles and reference numb rs o f t he d iv is io ns i n a lp ha be ti ca l o rd er . Oper at ion Number ing Each operation is followed by the number allocated to it in a master index. The number consists of six digits a rra ng ed i n t hr ee p ai rs. Th master index of operations has been compiled for universal application to vehicles manufactured by British Leyland Motor Corporation and therefore continuity of the numbering sequence is not maintained throughout the manual. Each instruction within an operation has a sequence number, and to complete the operation in the minimum time it is essential that these instructions are performed in numerical sequence commencing at 1 unless otherwise stated. Where applicable, the sequence numbers identify the c om po ne nt s i n t he a pp ro pri at e i ll ust ra ti on . Where performance of an operatio requires the use of a service tool, the tool number is quoted under the operation heading and is repeated in, or following, the .instruction involving its use. An illustrated list of all service tools necessary to complete the operations described in the manual is also included. References References to the left- or right-hand side in the manual are made when viewing the vehicle from the rear. With the engine and gearbox assembly removed, the water pump end of the engine is referred to as the front. To reduce repetition, operations covered in this manual do not include reference to testing the vehicle after repair. I t is essential that work is inspected and tested after completion and if necessary a road test of the vehicle is carried out particularly where safety related items are concerned. Dimensions Th dimensions quoted are to design engineering specifi- cation. Alternative unit equivalents, shown in brackets following the dimensions, have been converted from the original speci ficati on. During the period of running-in from new, certain adjustments may vary from the specification figures given in this Manual. These adjustments will be re-set by the Distributor or Dealer at the After Sales Service, and thereafter should be maint ined at the figures specified in the Ma nual. i REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS When replacement parts are required it isessential that only genuine Land Rover replacements are used. Attention is particularly drawn to the foll wing points concerning repairs and the fitting of replacement parts and accessories: S af et y fe at ure s e mb od ie d i n th e v eh ic le ma y be impair ed if other than genuine Land Rover replacements are fitted.

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this manual is to assist skilled mechanicsin the efficient repair and maintenance of the range ofvehicles given on the title-page. The procedures detailed,carried out in the sequence given and using the appropriateservice tools, will enable the operations to be completed inthe time stated in the Repair Operation Times.

IndexingThe content pages list the titles and reference numbersof the divisions in alphabetical order.

Operation NumberingEach operation is followed by the number allocated to it

in a master index. The number consists of six digitsarranged in three pairs.The master index of operations has been compiled for

universal application to vehicles manufactured by BritishLeyland Motor Corporation and therefore continuity of thenumbering sequence is not maintained throughout the

manual.Each instruction within an operation has a sequence

number, and to complete the operation in the minimumtime it is essential that these instructions are performed innumerical sequence commencing at 1 unless otherwisestated. Where applicable, the sequence numbers identify thecomponents in the appropriate illustration.Where performance of an operation requires the use of a

service tool, the tool number is quoted under the operationheading and is repeated in, or following, the .instructioninvolving its use.An illustrated list of all service tools necessary to

complete the operations described in the manual is alsoincluded.

ReferencesReferences to the left- or right-hand side in the manual

are made when viewing the vehicle from the rear. With theengine and gearbox assembly removed, the water pump endof the engine is referred to as the front.To reduce repetition, operations covered in this manual

do not include reference to testing the vehicle after repair.It is essential that work is inspected and tested after

All genuine Land Rover replacements have the full backing ofthe Owners Service Statement.Land Rover Distributors and Dealers are obliged to supply

only genuine Land Rover service parts.

POISONOUS SUBSTANCES

WARNINGMany liquids and other substances used in motor vehiclesare poisonous and should under no circumstances beconsumed and should as far as possible be kept away fromopen wounds. These substances among others includeantifreeze, brake fluid, fuel, windscreen washer additives,lubricants and various adhesives.

FUEL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

The following information provides basic precautions whichmust be observed if petrol (gasoline) is to be handled safely.It also outlines the other areas of risk which must not beignored.This information is issued for basic guidance only, and inany case of doubt appropriate enquiries should be made ofyour local Fire Officer.

GeneralPetrol/gasoline vapour is highly flammable and in con-

fined spaces is also very explosive and toxic.When petrol/gasoline evaporates it produces 150 times its ownvolume invapour, which when diluted with air becomes a readilyignitable mixture. The vapour is heavier than air and willalwaysfall to the lowest level. Itcan readily be distributed throughout aworkshop by air current, consequently, even a small spillage ofpetrol/ gasoline is potentially very dangerous.Always have a fire extinguisher containing FOAM COl

GAS, or POWDER close at hand when handling or drainingfuel, or when dismantling fuel systems and in areas wherefuel containers are stored.

Fuel Tank RepairUnder no circumstances should a repair to any tank

involving heat treatment be carried out without firstrendering the tank SAFE, by using one of the followingmethods:a STEAMING: With the filler cap and tank unit re-

moved, empty the tank. Steam the tank for at least 2hours with low pressure steam. Position the tank sothat condensation can drain away freely, ensuring that

any sediment and sludge not volatised by the steam, iswashed out during the steaming process.b BOILING: With the filler cap and tank unit removed,

empty the tank. Immerse the tank completely inboiling water containing an effective alkaline degreas-ing agent or a detergent, with the water filling and alsosurrounding the tank for at least 2 hours. ,After steaming or boiling a signed and dated label tothis effect should be attached to the tank.

General Notes

Emergency soft pressures should only be used in extreme conditions where loss of traction is likely to occur.Return pressures to normal immediatley the difficulties have been overcome.

The pressures quoted above are for laden and unladen conditions.

For extra ride comfort, the following can apply (road condition only)

88 models - l ess than 900kg on rear axle, lower tyre pressure to 1.76 kg/ern" - 251b/ in2 - 1.72 bars109 models - less than 1050kg on rear axle, lower tyre pressure to 1.76 kg/ern" - 25 lb/in" - 1.72 bars

Where special tyres ortyres otherthanthe above arefittedto thevehicle, consult your Land Rover Distributor or Dealer orthe tyre Manufacturerfor correct tyre pressures.

GENERAL FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

Precautions against damageI Always fi t covers to protect wings before commencing

work in engine compartment.2 Cover seats and carpets, wear clean overalls and wash

hands or wear gloves before working inside car.3 Avoid spill ing hydraulic fluid or bat tery acid on paint

work. Wash off with water immediately if this occurs.Use Polythene sheets in boot to protect carpets.

4 Always use a recommended Service Tool, or a sa tisfac -

tory equivalent, where specified.5 Protect temporar ily exposed screw threads by replacing

nuts or fitting plastic caps.

Safety Precautions1 Whenever possible use a ramp or pit when working

beneath car , in preference to jacking. Chock wheels aswell as applying hand brake.

2 Never rely on a jack alone to support car. Use axlestands or blocks careful ly placed at j acking point s toprovide rigid location.

3 Ensure that a suitable form of fire extinguisher isconveniently located.

4 Check that any lifting equipment used has adequatecapacity and is fully serviceable.

5 Inspec t power leads of any mains electri cal equipmentfor damage and check that i t isproperly ear thed.

6 Disconnect ear th (grounded) terminal of car battery.7 Do not disconnect any pipes in air conditioning

refrigeration system, if fitted, unless trained andinstructed to do so. A refrigerant is used which cancause blindness if allowed to contact eyes.

8 Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided whenvolatile de-greasing agents are being used.

CAUTION: Fume extraction equipment must be in opera-tion when trachloride, methylene chloride, chloroform, orperchlorethylene are used for cleaning purposes.

9 Do not apply heat in an attempt to free stiff nuts orfittings; as well as causing damage to protectivecoatings, there is a risk of damage to electronicequipment and brake lines from stray heat.

10 Do not leave tools, equipment, spil t oi l e tc., a round oron work area.11 Wear protec tive overall s and use barrier creams when

necessary.

o-.J

I

Preparation1 Before removing a component, clean it and its sur-

rounding areas as thoroughly as possible.2 Blank off any openings exposed by component re-

moval, using greaseproof paper and masking tape.

3 Immediately seal fuel, oil or hydraulic lines whenseparated, using plast ic caps or plugs , to prevent loss off luid and entry of dir t.

4 Close open ends of oilways, exposed by componentremoval, with tapered hardwood plugs or readily visibleplastic plugs.

5 Immediately a component is removed, place it in asui table container; use a separate container for eachcomponent and its associated parts.

6 Before dismantling a component, clean it thoroughlywith a recommended cleaning agent; check that agent

is suitable for all materials of component.7 Clean bench and provide marking materials, labels,

containers and locking wire before dismantling acomponent.

Dismantling1 Observe scrupulous cleanliness when dismantling com-

ponents, pa rticularly when brake, fuel or hydraulicsystem parts are being worked on. A parti cle of dirt ora cloth fragment could cause a dangerous malfunctionif trapped in these systems.

2 Blowout all tapped holes, crevices, oilways and fluidpassages with an air l ine. Ensure that any O-rings usedfor sealing are correctly replaced or renewed, ifdisturbed.

3 Mark mating parts to ensure that they are replaced asdismantled. Whenever possible use marking ink, whichavoids possibilities of distortion or initiation of cracks,l iable if centre punch or scriber are used.

4 Wire together mating parts where necessa ry to preventaccidental interchange (e.g. roller bearing components).

5 Wire labels on to all parts which are to be renewed, andto parts requiring further inspection before beingpassed for reassembly; place these parts in separatecontainers from those containing parts for rebuild.

6 Do not discard a part due for renewal until aftercomparing it with a new part , to ensure that it s correc treplacement has been obtained.

Inspection-General1 Never inspect a component for wear or dimensional

check unless it is absolutely clean; a slight smear ofgrease can conceal an incipient failure.2 When a component is to be checked dimensionally

against figures quoted for i t, use correct equipment(surface plates, micrometers, dial gauges, etc.) inserviceable condition. Makeshift checking equipmentcan be dangerous.

3 Rejec t a component i f i ts dimensions are outside limitsquoted, or if damage isapparent. A part may, however,be ref it ted if i ts cri tical dimension is exactly l imit size,and is otherwise satisfactory.

4 Use 'Plastigauge' 12 Type PG-l for checking bearingsurface clearances; di rect ions for it s use, and a sca legiving bearing clearances in 0.0001 in. (0,0025 mm.)steps are provided with it.

Ball and RoUer BearingsNEVER REPLACE A BALL OR ROLLER BEARINGWITHOUT FIRST ENSURING THAT IT IS IN AS-NEWCONDITION.Remove all traces of lubricant from bearing underinspection by washing in petrol or a suitable de-greaser;

maintain absolute cleanliness throughout operations.2 Inspect visually for markings of any form on rolling

elements, raceways, outer surface of outer rings orinner surface of inner r ings . Reject any bearings foundto be marked, since any marking in these areasindicates onset of wear.

3 Holding inner race between finger and thumb of onehand, spin outer race and check that it revolvesabsolutely smoothly. Repeat, holding outer race andspinning inner race.

4 Rotate outer ring gently with a reciprocating motion,while holding inner ring; feel for any check orobstruction to rotat ion, and reject bearing if action is

not perfectly smooth.5 Lubricate bearing generously with lubricant appro-

priate to installation.6 Inspect shaft and bearing housing for discoloration or

other marking suggesting tha t movement has takenplace between bearing and seatings. (This is particularlyto be expected if related markings were found inoperation 2.) If markings are found, use 'Loc tite ' ininstallation of replacement bearing.

7 Ensure that shaft and housing are clean and free fromburrs before fitting bearing.

8 If one bearing of a pair shows an imperfection it isgeneral ly advisable to renew both bearings: an excep-tion could be made if the faulty bearing had covereda low mileage, and it could be established that damagewas confined to it only.

9 When fitt ing bearing to shaft , apply force only to innerr ing of bearing, and only to outer r ing when fit ting intohousing.

8 10 In the case of grease-lubricated bearings (e.g. hubI bearings) fill space between bearing and outer sealwithIV recommended grade of grease before fitting seal.

11 Always mark components of separable bearings (e.g.taper roller bearings) in dismantling, to ensure correctreassembly. Never fit new rollers in a used cup.

OilSeals1 Always fit new oil seals when rebuilding an assembly.

It is not physically possible to replace a seal exactlywhen it has bedded down.

2 Carefully examine sealbefore fitting to ensurethat it isclean and undamaged.

3 Smear sealinglips with clean grease;pack dust excluderseals with grease, and heavily grease duplex seals incavity between sealinglips.

4 Ensure that seal spring, if provided, is correctly fitted.5 Place lip of seal towards fluid to be sealed and slide

into position on shaft, using fitting sleeve whenpossible to protect sealing lip from damage by sharpcorners, threads or splines. If fitting sleeve is notavailable, use plastic tube or adhesive tape to prevent

damage to sealinglip.

6 Grease outside diameter of seal, place square tohousing recess and press into position, using great careand if possible a 'bell piece' to ensure that seal is nottilted. (In some cases it may be preferable to fit sealtohousing before fitting to shaft.) Never let weight ofunsupported shaft rest in seal.

6I

Flexible Hydraulic Pipes, Hoses1 Before removing any brake or power steering hose,

clean end fittings and area surrounding them asthoroughly as possible.

2 Obtain appropriate blanking caps before detachinghose end fit tings, so that ports can be immediatelycovered to exclude dirt.

3 Clean hose externally and blow through with airline.Examine carefully for cracks, separation of pl ies,security of end fittings and external damage. Rejectany hose found faulty.

4 When refitting hose, ensure that no unnecessary bendsare introduced, and that hose is not twisted before or

during tightening of union nuts.5 Containers for hydraulic fluid must bekept absolutely

clean.6 Do not store hydraulic fluid in an unsealed container.

Itwill absorb water, and fluid in this condition wouldbe dangerous to use due to a lowering of its boilingpoint.

7 Do not allow hydraul ic fluid to be contaminated withmineral oil, or use a container which has previouslycontained mineral oil.

8 Do not re-use fluid bled from system.9 Always use clean brake fluid to clean hydraulic

components.10 Fit a blanking cap to a hydraulic union and a plug to

its socket after removal to prevent ingressof dirt.11 Absolute cleanliness must be observed with hydraulic

components at all times.12 After any work on hydraulic systems, inspect carefullyfor leaks underneath the car while a second operatorapplies maximum pressure to the brakes (enginerunning) and operates the steering.

continued

7 If correct service tool is not available, use a suitabledrift approximately 0.015 in. (0,4 mm) smaller thanoutside diameter of seal. Use a hammer VERYGENTLYon drift if a press isnot suitable.

8 Press or drift seal in to depth of housing if housing isshouldered, or flush with face of housing where noshoulder is provided.NOTE: Most cases of failure or leakage of oil seals aredue to careless fitting, and resulting damage to bothseals and sealing surfaces. Care in fitting is essential ifgood results are to be obtained.

Joints and Joint Faces1 Alwaysuse correct gaskets where they are specified.2 Use jointing compound only when recommended.

Otherwise fit joints dry.3 When jointing compound is used, apply in a thin

uniform film to metal surfaces; take great care toprevent it from entering oilways, pipes or blind tappedholes.

4 Remove all traces of old jointing materials prior toreassembly. Do not use a tool which could damagejoint faces.

5 Inspect joint faces for scratches or burrs and removewith a fine file or oil stone; do not allowswarf or dirtto enter tapped holes or enclosed parts.

6 Blowout any pipes, channels or crevices with com-pressed air, renewing any O-rings or seals displaced byair blast.

Metric Bolt Identification1 An ISO metric bol t or screw, made of steel and larger

than 6 mm in diameter can be identified by either ofthe symbols ISO M or M embossed or indented on topof the head.

2 In addition to marks to ident ify the manufac ture, thehead is also marked with symbols to indicate thestrength grade e.g. 8.8, 10.9,12.9 or 14.9, where thefirst f igure gives the minimum tensile s trength of thebolt material in tens of kg/sq. mm.

3 Zinc plated ISO met ric bol ts and nuts are chromatepassivated, a greenish-khaki to gold-bronze colour.

o

Metric Nut Identification

A nut with an ISO metric thread is marked on one faceor on one of the flat s of the hexagon with the strengthgrade symbol 8, 12 or 14. Some nuts with a st rength 4,5 or 6 are also marked and some have the metricsymbol M on the flat opposite the strength grademarking.

2 A clock face system isused asan al ternat ive method ofindicating the strength grade. The external chamfers ora face of the nut is marked in a posi tion rela tive to theappropriate hour mark on a clock face to indicate thestrength grade.

3 A dot is used to locate the 12 o'clock position and adash to indica te the strength grade. If the grade is

above 12, two dots identify the 12 o'clock position.

Hydraulic Fittings - MetricationWARNING: Metr ic and Unified threaded hydraulic par ts.Al though pipe connec tions to brake system unit s incor-porate threads of metric form, those for power assisteds teer ing are of UNF type. It is vital ly important that thesetwo thread forms are not confused, and careful studyshould be made of the following notes .Metric threads and met ric sizes are being introduced intomotor vehicle manufacture and some duplication of partsmust be expected. Although standardisat ion must in thelong run be good, i t would be wrong not to give warning ofthe dangers that exist while UNF and metric threadedhydraulic par ts continue together in service. Fitt ing UNFpipe nuts into metric ports and vice-versa should nothappen, but experience of the change from BSF to UNFindicated that there is no certainty in relying upon thedifference in thread size when safety is involved.To provide permanent identification of metric parts is not easybut recognition has been assisted by the followingmeans. (Illus-tration A Metric, B Unified.)1 All metric pipe nuts, hose ends, unions and bleed

screws are coloured black.2 The hexagon area of pipe nuts is indented wi th the

letter'M'.3 Metric and UNF pipe nuts are slightly different in

shape.

The metric female nut is always used wi th a trumpet fl aredpipe and the met ric male nut i s a lways used wi th a convexflared pipe.4 All metric ports in cylinders and calipers have no

counterbores, but unfor tunately a few cylinders withUNF threads also have no counterbore. The s ituation

ports wi th counterbores are UNF, but ports not.•~I:flnterbolredare most likely to be metric. continued

in. UNFpipe nut orhose can be screwed into a 10mm portbut isvery slack and easily stripped. The thread engagementisveryweak and cannot provide an adequate seal.The opposite condition, a 10 mm nut in a in. port, isdifficult and unlikely to cause trouble. The 10mm nut willscrewin 1V z or two turns and seize. It has a crossed thread'feel ' and it is impossible to force the nut far enough to sealthe pipe. With female pipe nuts the posit ion is of coursereversed.The other combinations are so different that there is nodanger of confusion.

Keys and Keyways1 Remove burrs from edges of keyways with a fine f ile

and clean thoroughly before attempting to refit key.2 Clean and inspect key closely; keys are suitable for

refitting only if ihdistinguishable from new, as anyindentation may indicate the onset of wear.

TabWashers1 Fit new washers in all places where they are used.

Always renew a used tab washer.2 Ensure that the newtab washerisof the same designas

that replaced.

Split PinsI Fit new split pins throughout when replacingany unit.2 Always fit split pins where split pins were originally

used. Do not substitute spring washers: there isalwaysa good reasonfor the use of a split pin.

3 All split pins should be fitted as shown unlessotherwise stated.

_ t l l - _

1 When tightening a slotted or castellated nut neverslacken it back to insert split pin or locking wire exceptin those recommended cases where this forms part ofan adjustment. If difficulty is experienced, alternativewashers or nuts should be selected, or washer thicknessreduced.

2 Where' self-locking nuts have been removed it isadvisable to replace them with new ones of the sametype.

NOTE: Where bearing pre-load is involved nuts should betightened in accordance with special instructions.

Locking Wire1 Fit new locking wire of the correct type for all

assemblies incorporating it.2 Arrange wire so that its tension tends to tighten the

bolt heads, or nuts, to which it is fitted.

Screw Threads1 Both UNF and Metric threads to ISO standards are

used. See below for thread identification.2 Damaged threads must always be discarded. Cleaning

up threads with a die or tap impairs the strength andcloseness of fit of the threads and isnot recommended.

3 Alwaysensure that replacement bolts are at least equalin strength to those replaced.

4 Do not al low oil , grease or jointing compound to enterblind threaded holes. The hydraulic action on screwing

in the bolt orstud could split the housing.S Always tighten a nut or bolt to the recommended

torque figure. Damaged or corroded threads can affectthe torque reading. .

6 To check or re-tighten a bolt or screw to a specifiedtorque figure, f irst slacken a quarter of a turn, thenre-tighten to the correct figure.

7 Always oil thread l ightly before tightening to ensure afree running thread, except in the case of self-lockingnuts.

1 BoltsA circular recess is stamped in the upper surface of thebolt head.

2 NutsA continuous line of circles is indented on one of theflats of the hexagon, parallel to the axisof the nut.

Engine oil level-All modelsInadditionto changingthe oiland filterat themileage intervals stated in the MaintenanceSummary Chart , the oil level in the sumpshould be checkeddaily or weeklydependingupon theconditionsunder whichthe vehicleisoperating.

Proceed as follows:I Stand the vehicle on level ground and

allow the oil to drain back into the

sump.2 Withdraw the dipstick, wipe it clean,

re-insert to its full depth and removeasecond time to take the reading. Addoil as necessary; never fill above the'H'mark.

3 The oil level. dipstick on 4-cylinder

models carries three marks: 'H' , 'L'and 'MIN L'. Under normal circum-stances the oil level should not beallowed to fall below the minimumlevelmark 'MIN L'.

4 However, when the Land-Rover isbeing used at steep angles, the oilshould not be allowed to fall belowthe intermediate mark 'L' . This will

obviate any danger of oil pump starva-tion when the vehicle is facing down-hill at a steep angle.

ENGINE

(1) Check for oil leaks in engine compart-

ment; rectify as necessary

-oIV

(2) & (3) Engine oil changes and fil ter replace-ment. Oil changes

To change the engine oil:1 Run the engine to warm up the oil,

then stop.2 Remove the drain plug in the right-

hand side of the sump. Allow oil todrain away completely and replace theplug.

To change filter located at right-handside of engine on 4-cylinder models,

left-hand side on 6-cylinder models.3 Place oil tray under engine.4 Unscrew the bolt from the filter

adaptor.5 Remove the container .

6 Remove the element.7 Discard the used filter element and

large rubber washer.8 Washthe container in petrol .9 Place the new filter element in the

container and reassemble the unit,using the new large rubber washersupplied with the element.

10 Ensure that all the sealing washers arein position and intact, and that thecontainer is correctly located in theadaptor.

Tighten the filter retaining bolt to 1,66kgfm (121bf ft).

11 Refill with oil of the correct gradethrough the filler at the front of theengine; the total capacity including

filter is: 4-cylinder models: 6,0 litres(11 Imperial pints) 12 US pints; 6-

cylinder models: 5,5 litres (10 Im-perial pints) 11USpints.

12 Run engine and check for oil leaks atfilter and drain plug.

(5)Carburetter hydraulic damper-6-

cylinder Petrol modelsI Unscrew the cap on top of the suctionchamber, withdraw cap and hydraulicdamper, replenish the damper reservoiras necessary with SAE 20 oil to withinabout 12 mm (0.5 in.) from the top ofthe tube. Then replace cap andhydraulic damper.

(6)Carburetter slow-running adjustment-4-cylinder Petrol models. (Basic Carburettersonly)

The only adjustments provided at thecarburetter are a throttle stop screw and avolume control screw.Should the carburetter require adjustmentfor any reason, proceed asfollows:1 Run the engine until normal operating

temperature is obtained. If necessaryadjust the throt tle stop screw to givethe correct idling speed.

2 Adjust the volume control screw sothat the enginewill idle evenlywith no

tendency to stall on snap closure ofthe throttle.

3 Check that, as the throttle is openedslowly, there is a clear positive accele-ration of the engine speed.

4 Finally, it may be necessary to re-adjust the throttle stop screw to giveasatisfactory idle speed.

temperature is obtained. If necessaryadjust slow-run screw to give thecorrect idling speed.

2 Lift the carburetter piston approxi-mately 1mm (0.031 in.)

3 If the engine speeds up immediatelythe mixture is too rich and the jetadjustment screw must be turned anti-clockwise, thus weakening the mix-ture; if the engine stops immediately,

the mixture is too weak and the jetadjustment screw should be turnedclockwise to enrich the mixture.If the engine just falters and thencontinues to run evenly the adjust-ment is correct.

4 Finally adjust the slow-run screw toget a smooth idling speed.

5 The fast idle screw should not requireadjustment.

6 For startin~ at temperatures down to-ISoC (0 F) push and turn thespring-loaded choke adjustment screwso that the peg is at right-anglesto theslot as illustrated. Leave in this posi-tion.When starting at temperatures below

-ISoC (OoF) turn the screw until pegisrecessed in slot.

(7)Fuel sediment bowl-4-cylinder petrolmodelsThe fuel sediment bowl, located on theright-hand side of the engine providesadditional filtration between the pump andcarburetter.Clean as follows:I Remove the bowl by slackening the

thumb screw and swingingthe retainer

to one side.2 Remove and clean the filter gauze in

cleanpetrol.3 Ensure that the sealing washer is in

good condition.4 Replace gauze and refit the bowl.5 Prime the pump by operating the hand

lever.

fdterA single type elect ric fuel pump is fit tedand is located above the r ight hand chassismember midway along the vehicle,To remove the pump for fil ter cleaning,proceed as follows:1 Disconnect the fuel pump feed lead at

the snap connector.2 Disconnect the fuel inlet pipe from the

pump and block the end of the pipeby suitable means to prevent fuel

draining from the tank.3 Disconnect the outlet pipe.4 Remove the two nuts securing the

pump, ear th braid and rubber mount-ings to the support bracket andremove the pump.

Filter cleaning5 Remove the inlet and outlet unions.6 Release the end cover from the

bayonet fixing.7 Withdraw the filter and clean using a

compressed air j et from the inside ofthe filter.

8 Remove the magnet from the endcover and clean. Replace the magnet inthe centre of the end cover .

9 Reassemble the fuel pump and refit tothe vehic le by reversing the removalprocedure. Use a new gasket for theend cover if necessary. Ensure that thefeed lead is reconnected and the ear thbraid fitted securely to the fixingpoints.The inlet and outlet unions are atunequal distances from the feed lead.To ensure correct fuel pipe connec-tions when refitt ing the pump, posi -tion the union nearest the feed leadconnection towards the front of thevehicle.

(8)Tappet adjustment

The correct clearance is: 4-cylinder models,inlet and exhaust, 0,25 mm (0.010 in.)

engine hot. 6-cyclinder models , inlet 0,15mm (0.006 in.) engine hot and exhaust0,25 mm (0.010 in.) wi th the engine hot orcold.To carry out tappet adjustment, proceed asfollows:I Rotate the engine in the running direc-

tion until the valve receiving attentionis fully open and then rotate theengine one complete turn, to bring thetappet on to the back of the cam.

2 Check the tappet clearance with afeeler gauge.

3 If adjustment is required, slacken thelocknut.

4 Rotate the tappet adj usting screw unti l

the clearance is correct; re- tighten thelocknut, taking care to ensure that thisoperation does not upset the clear-ance.

rectify as necessa ry. Renew hoses every80,000 km (48,000 miles).

Frost precautionsIn cold weather, when the temperaturemay drop to or below freezing point,precautions must be taken to preventfreezing of the water in the cooling system.As a thermosta t is fit ted in the system, it i s

possible for the radiator block to freeze incold weather even though the enginerunning temperature is quite high; for thisreason, the use of an anti-freezing mixtureis essential.Only anti-freeze solutions recommended inSection 09 shouldbe used.Land-Rovers leavingthe factory have the cool-ing system filled with 50% mixture of anti-freezeand water. This givesprotection down to-20°C to-36°C.When the temperature is between DoC andminus 18°C (32°F and OaF), use one par t ofanti-freeze to twoparts ofwater.Proceed as follows:1 Ensure that the cool ing system is leak-

proof; anti-freeze solutions are far more'searching' at joints than water.

2 Drain and flush the system. Drain plugunder radiator at right-hand side.

3 Drain tap or plug for cylinder block4-cylinder at left -hand side of engineadjacent to dipstick. 6-cylinder at right-hand side of engine adjacent to enginebreather.

4 Pour in approximately 4,5 litres (onegallon) of water, add solution, thentop up with water to within 12 to 19mm (0.5 to 0.75 in.) below bottom offiller neck.

5 Run the engine to ensure a goodcirculation of the mixture.

NOTE: When anti-freeze is not required thecooling system must be flushed out with cleanwaterand refilledwith a mixture one part Mar-stons SQ36 inhibitor to nine parts ofwater.

(10)Radiator water level1 The radiator filler cap is under the

bonnet panel.

Diesel models2 Never run the engine without water,

not even for a very brief period,otherwise the injectors may beseriously damaged. This is due to thevery high rate of heat transfer in theregion of the injector nozzles.

care must be taken when removing theradiator f il ler cap, especially when theengine is hot.

4 When removing the filler cap first turnit anti-clockwise to the s top and allowall pressure to escape, before press ingit down and turning further in thesame direction to lift i t off .

5 When replacing the filler cap, it isimportant that it is tightened downfully, not just to the first stop. Fa ilureto t ighten the fil ler cap properly mayresult in water loss, with possibledamage to the engine through over-heating.

6 All models have a semi-sealed coolingsystem, that is, an overflow bottleattached to the left-hand side of theradiator.

7 The water level in the cooling systemis checked at the radiator only andtopping-up is also carried out in thenormal manner through the radiatorfill er. The pipe in the overflow bottl eshould always be submerged in water .

8 With a cold engine the correct waterlevel is 12 to 19 mm (0.5 to 0.75 in.)

below the bottom of the filler neck.For capacities see Division 09.Use soft water wherever possible; ifthe local water supply is hard, rain-water should be used.

(11)Water level, windscreen washer asapplicableThe windscreen washer reservoir (optionalequipment in some counties) , is located onthe right-hand bulkhead.1 Remove reservoir cap by turning anti-

clockwise.2 Top up reservoir to within approxi-

'mately 25 mm (lin. ) below bottom of

filler neck.3 Use Clearalex windscreen washerpowder in the bot tle; this will removemud, f lies and road film.

4 In cold weather, to prevent freezing ofthe water , add 'Isopropyl Alcohol' . DoNOT use methylated spiri ts , which hasa detrimental effect on the screen-washer impeller.
