A4.1 BODY REPAIR
Introduction
This section contains information, specifications and procedures for body repair and rectification of the Jaguar sedan
range (with standard wheelbase).
All repairs, whether structural or cosmetic, must ensure the continuance of the Paint Surface and Corrosion warranty,
where applicable.
Following repair or rectification, the vehicle must be returned to the original manufactured condition with regard to
occupant safety, dimensional accuracy, finish and corrosion protection.
Similarly, repaired vehicles must be fully checked, and where appropriate reset, with regard to steering, suspension,
restraint and
braking systems.
A4.1.1 Health and Safety
(Please Read The
Fol/owing Notes Carethlly)
Where legislation governing working conditions and practises is applicable, you should observe it. Do not forget that
you have a duty, to yourself and those around you, to act in a responsible manner in the workplace.
In the United Kingdom the Health and Safety
at Work Act (1974) places a duty on employers and employees to ensure,
whenever possible, safe working conditions and practices. Wherever a potential hazard is notified to, or identified by
the operator, he must employ the correct safety procedures and equipment.
Should
a personal injury occur as a result of any workshop activity, seek medical help as soon as possible and do not
attempt self-treatment other than by the application of first aid.
With the constant introduction of new materials in the manufacture of vehicles,
it is important that potential risks are
identified and precautions made known.
WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND WORKING PRACTICES CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS, SECTION 14, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO
ERY
/ RECYCLE / RECHARGE EQUIPMENT.
WEAR SUITABLE EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION.
OBSERVE ALL APPLICABLE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.
DO
NOT VENT REFRIGERANT DIRECTLY TO ATMOSPHERE, ALWAYS USE JAGUAR APPROVED RECOV

A4.1.3. POTENTIAL RISKS I
A4.1.3. Paint
Organic solvents, found in paints, may cause damage or severe irritation to liver, kidneys, digestive tracts and respira- tory system if inhaled over long periods of time.
Prolonged exposure to isocyanates may cause lung sensitization. Asthma
-like symptoms may develop with subse-
quent exposure to very low concentrations of isocyanates.
Solvent inhalation can cause dizziness or loss of consciousness.
Splashes of solvents, paint activators and additives can cause damage to the eyes and may cause dermatitis. Peroxide
and acid catalysts may cause burns.
Inhalation of
spray dust and sanding debris may cause lung damage.
I
A4.1.3.2 Applied Heat (Welding)
There is considerable risk of damage to eyes and skin when welding or flame cutting.
Fire is a serious danger and many materials or fluids within the vehicle are highly flammable.
Toxic and dangerous fumes may be liberated when any of the following are subjected to heat:
0 Expanded foam
0 Corrosion protection
0 Trim and seat materials
0 Paints which contain isocyanates
0 Adhesive and sealing compounds
When heated to a temperature of 3OO0C, polyurethane based compounds may liberate small quantities of isocyanate.
Many types of nitrogen containing chemicals may be liberated as breakdown products; these chemicals can contain
isocyanates, oxides of nitrogen and hydrogen cyanide.
Potentially toxic or asphyxiant fumes and gases are produced by welding, for example; zinc oxide with zinc coated
panels, and ozone gas from the MIG process.
A4.1.3.3 Metal Repair
There is considerable risk of damage to eyes, ears and skin when metal cutting, forming, or dressing is being carried
out.
Soldering may be hazardous because of heat generated fumes and skin contact with the materials.
A4.1.4. PRECAUTIONS
A4.1.4.1 Paint
The inhalation of sprays, fumes, or dust during paint application or sanding processes should always be avoided. En- sure that there is efficient ventilation / extraction at all times. Paint spraying should be confined as far as possible to
spray booths. Personnel with a history of asthma should not be engaged in any process which involves the use of
isocyanates. Any operator working inside
a spray booth where isocyanate material is present must use air-fed breath- ing equipment. Supplied air to the visor should be fed at the recommended pressure and filtered to remove oil, water,
and fumes. Operators involved in handling mixing or spraying should wear protective clothing - gloves and goggles,
to avoid skin and eye contact.
A particle mask or canister type respirator should be worn when sanding.
A4.1.4.2 Applied Heat
When welding, flame cutting, brazing etc, the operator should use as appropriate, goggles, mask/fume extractor and
flameproof protective clothing. It is especially important when working with polyurethane compounds to use air-fed
breathing equipment.
Ensure that
at all times the appropriate fire fighting equipment is available and that personnel are trained in its use.
A4.1.4.3 Metal Repair
Appropriate eye and hand protection should be worn when sanding, drilling, cutting, chiselling, flatting or welding.
Operators should wear
a face mask or air-fed visor when sanding or flatting either body solder or fillers.
When
a soldering operation has been completed, swarf must be removed from the work area and the operator must
wash his hands thoroughly.

A4.1.5 GENERAL REPAIR NOTES
The following advice should be noted before ANY repair work is carried out.
0 Disconnect the vehicle battery ground lead (disconnect the alternator where electric welding is used) and take
note of the reconnection procedures as detailed in Section 15.
0 Where structural parts are straightened or renewed, a body alignment / straightening jig must be used.
0 Where appropriate, structural sections should be straightened by cold processes. Heat, especially excessive
heat, will reduce the strength of steels.
0 Repairs may only be carried out successfully, and any warranties protected, if genuine Jaguar replacement parts
and Jaguar approved materials are used.
0 Tools, procedures and facilities must be right for the job. Do not compromise the quality of the work by using
inappropriate methods.
0 All trim and electrical components in the locality of the repair must be removed or disconnected prior to panel
removal / replacement; this is especially important where hollow sections may contain harnesses, tubes or
foam, see section
A4.3.5.
0 The welding and gas processes detailed in the following sections are the only ones recommended by Jaguar
Cars Ltd.
0 Ensure that you have read and understood the safety related procedures in this and other relevant sections.
WARNING: DO NOT WORK
IN THE VICINITY OF A LIVE AIR BAG, REMOVE IT COMPLETELY. READ WORKING PRAC- TICES AIR BAG, SECTION 15. ANY SEAT BELT WHICH HAS BEEN WORN IN AN ACCIDENT MUST BE RENEWED. PLEASE SEE SECTION
AGE LOCATIONS. 13 FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING 'TEAR LOOP' SEAT BELTS / BUCKLES AND ANCHOR-
CAUTION: Electric arc welding should not be used on Jaguar vehicles. The high vottages produced by this process will cause irreparable damage to the electrical control and microprocessor systems.
A4.1.5.1 Welding and Gas Processes Special Notes
Resistance spot welding, MIG welding and all gas processes may only be carried out on bare, unpainted or unplated,
metal.
The flanges of panels which are to be welded together must be clean, corrosion free and treated as appropriate,
with either weld-through primer or inter-weld sealer; use only materials and processes in accordance with the 'Body Seal-
ing and Preservation Manual' and relevant application areas in section A4.3.1.1.
See 'Zinc Coated Panels' section A4.2.
Generally, the resistance spot welding equipment used in the motor vehicle repair industry does not produce a weld
of equivalent strength to that of the manufacturer. Therefore, the expression 'single row of resistance spot welds'
means that the spots should be spaced on a pitch of
19mm to 25mm. This will usually result in more spot welds than
found in the original factory joint.
To remove resistance spot welds, a resistance spot weld cutter should be used.
If the new joint is to be MIG plug welded, the old resistance spot welds should be cut from the panel which is to be
retained and those holes used for plug welding.
Suitable holes may also be drilled or punched;
8,O mm dia for sections up to 1,6 mm, and 10,O mm dia for thicker sec- tions.

w: Not all plastic components are nominated, only those suitable for economic reclamation.
A#. 1.6.2 Plastics - Handling Notes
w: With reference to the following conditions, consider the properties of those plastic components which may
be affected by a repair or rectification procedure.
0 As mentioned elsewhere, the exterior panel temperature of the vehicle must not exceed 95OC at any time and
may only be held at this upper limit for a maximum of 2 (two) hours.
0 Interior vehicle temperature must not exceed 86OC, the time limit being 2 (two) hours.
0 Temperatures above those specified in 1 and 2, may result in distorted or permanently damaged components. If there is any doubt whatsoever, remove those components which may be affected by the application of heat.
0 Certain items may be manufactured from 'blended' materials; these must NOT be recycled with pure materials.
For example do not mix PC/ABS (wheel trim) with ABS ('B' pillar upper trim).
0 Should plastic components become greasy, they may be cleaned with an 'SBP 3' spirit wipe, or equivalent.
A4.1.6.3 Recycled Materials
Any of the materials listed in A4.1.6.1 may be recycled provided that they are not contaminated by other incompatible
plastics or metals. For instance, the air conditioning unit case, manufactured from PP (polypropylene), must be separ- ated from the heater matrix, evaporator, control devices (electronic and mechanical) and all fixings before it can be
considered for recycling.
After disassembly, the case must be placed for disposal only
with materials of the same generic type.
w: The bumper cover assemblies have side armatures (non-eerviceable items) rivetted to them; because they
are dissimilar materials the armatures and fixings must be removed prior to recycling.
In the bumper cover intake aperture there is a cosmetic 'black-out' piece; a similar component may be found
on the fog lamp blanks (where fitted). These items should be separated from the major component for recycl- ing.
