WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE HEADER TANK PRESSURE CAP WHILE THE ENGINE IS HOT. IF THE CAP MUST
BE REMOVED, PROTECT THE HANDS AGAINST ESCAPING STEAM AND SLOWLY TURN THE CAP ANTI- CLOCKWISE UNTIL THE EXCESS PRESSURE CAN ESCAPE. LEAVE THE CAP IN THIS POSITION UNTIL
ALL THE STEAM AND PRESSURE HAS ESCAPED AND THEN REMOVE THE CAP COMPLETELY.
WARNING: WHEN DRAINING THE COOLANT WITH THE ENGINE HOT, PROTECT THE HANDS AGAINST CONTACT
WITH HOT COOLANT.
WARNING
: WHEN WORKING WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, KEEP CLEAR OF THE ENGINE DRIVEN RADI- ATOR COOLING FAN WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
4.2.3.2 Working Practices
Whenfilling thesystem with coolant,ensurethatthevehicle isstanding on a level surfaceand thatthecoolant is poured
in slowly so that airlocks are not introduced into the system. Airlocks can seriously affect the operation of the climate
control system and can cause damage to the heater circuit pump.
Hose clips should always be positioned
so that there is proper access for tightening and that the clip does not foul or
interfere with the operation of any components.
4.2.3 SERVICE PROCEDURES
4.2.3.1 Safety Precautions
The anti-freeze specified in Appendix A1 must be used wherever possible. It is designed to afford the maximum cor- rosion protection to all metals found in the engine cooling system, as well as having the frost protection properties
necessary during the winter months. Should it not be available, then anti-freeze conforming to Ford Motor Company
specification
ESBM97B49-A may be used. To provide optimum temperature and corrosion protection, the specified
anti-freeze concentration must always be used. Once coolant has been drained from the system, it must be discarded
and not reused. Anti-freeze is harmful to the environment. Always dispose of used coolant safely and never pour it down a drain connected to the public sewer.
CAUTION: Never fill or topup the system with water only.
CAUTION
: Anti-freeze is harmful to paintwork. Coolant spillages must be wiped up immediately and the affected
area washed to remove all traces of coolant.
CAUTION: To prevent the possibility of damage to the heater circuit
pump, the pump should be electrically isolated if the ignition has to be turned ON while the cooling system is drained.
The drive belt must always be tensioned to the specified value and the tension checked at the correct point on the belt.
This information is given in Sub-section IV in the preliminary pages.
When tightening components, the torque figures given in Sub
-section II in the preliminary pages should always be
used for the fastenings listed.
When fitting a replacement thermostat, ensure that the jiggle-pin is to the top of the thermostat housing.
4.2.3.3 Coolant Change
The coolant must be changed at intervals of four years. The system should be drained from the radiator drain plug,
flushed and filled with fresh coolant. Flushing should be carried out thoroughly to remove all the old coolant from the
engine and heater matrix. (The heatervalve isopen with the ignition OFF). AfterfilIing,checkthecoolant concentration
with a hydrometer. For specified anti-freeze and coolant concentration, see in Appendix Al.

. Start the engine and add coolant to the header tank if required to ensure that it does not empty.
. Run the engine until thetemperature gauge reads normal. (The enginespeed may be raised to reduce warm uptime).

4.2.4.4 System, Air Bleeding
After filling the system with coolant, any air present must be purged before effective cooling is possible. Provided the
correct fill procedure has been followed, purging of the system takes place automatically as follows:
The air entrained by the coolant, rises to the top of the radiator and to the highest point on each side of the engine (the
thermostat housings). While the thermostats are closed, the radiator is under reduced pressure due to the pump suc
- tion and air is bled through the jiggle-pins in each thermostat. Purged air is returnedvia the bleed system to the header
tank. When normal operating temperature is reached, the thermostats open and the system operates normally. ~~

Reference is made to the Electrical Diagnostic Manual (EDM), which should be consulted for all electrical faults. When investigating faults relating to temperature, the prevailing
ambient temperature conditions should be taken into account. The climate control system is dealt with in Section 14.

10.1.3 Steering Hydraulic System Major Components
Engine driven rotary vane pump (belt driven 12 cylinder; direct drive from timing gear 6 cylinder) with falling
flow characteristic (as
pump speed increases fluid flow decreases) and integral pressure relief valve.
Remote fluid reservoir with integral 'return' side filter.
Steering rack (incorporating speed sensitive transducer).
Steering control module
(SCM).
Fluid cooler integral with engine coolant radiator and associated pipe-work.
10.1.4 Hydraulic System Features
The 'Servotronic' system reduces steering input loads during parking and low speed manoeuvres and progressively
increases input loads as vehicle speed rises. This feature enhances steering feel.
10.1.5
Rotary motion of the steering wheel is converted, via the steering gear pinion to lateral motion of the rack. Hydraulic
assistance is provided by pressurized fluid being directed against the rack bar piston in the rack cylinder. The pressure
applied to each side of the rack piston is controlled by the pinion valve which varies the restriction through which the
flow for each side of the rack piston must pass.
