ADJUSTMENT POWER STEERING BOX
Service repair no - 57.10.13
WARNING: Adjustments of steering box
should not be required while in warranty
period. If box is stiff or tight and within
warranty, it must be returned to manufacturer. No
attempt must be made to introduce backlash.
1.Apply park brake, select 'P' in automatic
transmission and chock wheels. Support chassis
front on axle stands.
2.Remove engine undertray.
3.Disconnect drag link from steering drop arm.
4.Check torque to turn.
See Fault diagnosis,
Stiff Steering Checklist
5.Centralise steering box.See Centralise
Steering Box
NOTE: Only check for no backlash when
steering box is in central position.
NOTE: If steering wheel is not straight, it
should be repositioned.
See Repair,
Steering Wheel
The adjustment of the steering box ensures
any preload or end float present on centre is
removed.
6.The adjustment is obtained by rocking the drop
arm about centre whilst an assistant slowly
tightens the steering box adjuster screw.
7.Tighten the locknut when all backlash has been
removed.
8.Repeat the check for backlash. If backlash exists
loosen locknut and repeat adjustment
procedure.
9.Turn steering wheel lock to lock and check no
tightness exists.
10.Ensure front wheels are aligned and in straight
ahead position.
See Front Wheel Alignment
11.Adjust drag link 924 mm between ball joint
centres.
12.Connect drag link. Tighten to
40 Nm.
13.Lower vehicle to ground level and remove
chocks.
14.Road test vehicle.
See Fault diagnosis, Road
Test Procedure
NOTE: If steering wheel is not in straight
ahead position when vehicle is travelling
in a straight line, drag link length is
incorrect and is pushing drop arm away from
central position.
Drag link adjust
15.Right hand drive vehicles - if steering wheel is to
right, drag link is too long. If steering wheel is to
left drag link is too short.
Left hand drive vehicles - if steering wheel is to
right, drag link is too short. If steering wheel is to
left drag link is too long.
16.Adjust drag link until steering wheel points
straight ahead when vehicle is travelling in a
straight line.
CENTRALISE STEERING BOX
1.To centralise the box, insert a suitable peg (hole
size 8.06 mm) into the rear of the drop arm and
into the steering box casing to enable rapid and
accurate setting on centre.

WARNING: The parking brake acts on
transmission, not rear wheels, and may
not hold vehicle when jacking unless
following procedure is used. If one front wheel
and one rear wheel is raised no vehicle holding or
braking effect is possible. Wheels MUST be
chocked in all circumstances.
Apply parking brake, select 'P' or a gear in main
gearbox and engage low gear in transfer box.
1.Loosen five wheel nuts.
2.Using a suitable trolley jack raise vehicle and
place on axle stands.
See INTRODUCTION,
Information, Jacking
3.Remove wheel nuts and carefully withdraw
wheel over studs.Refit
4.Ensure that retaining studs and nuts are clean.
5.Alloy wheels: Lightly coat wheel mounting spigot
face with a suitable anti-seize compound to
minimise possibility of adhesion between wheel
and spigot face.
6.Refit wheel taking care not to damage stud
threads. (Do not apply oil)
7.Fit wheel nuts and turn by hand for at least three
full threads before using any form of wheel
wrench.
8.Tighten nuts as much as possible using a
suitable wrench.
9.Lower vehicle and finally tighten nuts to correct
torque sequence shown. Alloy wheels and steel
wheels:
130Nm.

REPAIR PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Routine servicing, apart from visual checks, is not
necessary. The visual inspections are as follows:
Condenser
With a water hose or air line, clean the fins of the
condenser to remove flies, leaves, etc. Check the pipe
connections for signs of oil leakage.
Compressor
Check pipe connections for signs of oil leakage.
Check flexible hoses for swelling. Examine the
compressor belt for tightness and condition.
Sight glass and Receiver/Drier
Examine the sight glass for bubbles with the system
operating. Check connections for leakage.
Evaporator
Examine the refrigeration connections at the unit. If
the system should develop a fault, or if erratic
operation is noticed,
See Fault diagnosis,
Refrigeration System Faults
RECEIVER DRIER

CAUTION: If receiver/drier is to be refitted,
the ports must be blanked off immediately
on disconnection. Exposed life of unit is
only 15 minutes.
1.Disconnect battery negative lead.
2.Recover refrigerant from system.

WARNING: Wear eye and hand protection
when disconnecting components
containing refrigerant. Plug all exposed
connections immediately.
3.Remove 3 screws from bonnet locking platform
and remove radiator grille.

4.Remove 4 bolts securing transmission oil cooler
to body.

WARNING: Wear eye and hand protection
when disconnecting components

8.Move receiver/drier just sufficiently to gain
access to pipe flange bolts without distorting the
pipes.
9.Remove bolt securing each pipe flange to
receiver/drier.
10.Disengage pipe flanges and withdraw
receiver/drier from mounting bracket.
11.Remove 'O' ring from each pipe flange.Refit
12.Fit new 'O' ring to each pipe flange, lubricate
with refrigerant oil.

WIPERS AND WASHERS

FAULT DIAGNOSIS WIPER MOTOR CHECKING
NOTE: These instructions apply to
windscreen and rear window wiper motor.
If unsatisfactory operation of wiping equipment is
experienced, a systematic check to determine fault
should be carried out:
1.Check blades for signs of excessive friction. This
reduces wiping speed of motor and cause
increased current draw which may damage
armature. Check by substitution.
2.Check windscreen wiper motor light running
current and speed with motor coupling link
disconnected from wiper shaft transmission
linkage.
Check rear window glass wiper motor with wiper
connected and glass wet. Connect an ammeter in
series with motor supply. Measure current
consumption when motor is switched on. Check
operating speed by timing speed of rotation of motor
coupling link. The results should compare with figures
given in 'General Specification Data'.
NOTE: If vehicle wiring connections are
disconnected and an alternative supply
source is applied it is essential that
correct polarity is observed. Failure to observe
this will cause motor to rotate in reverse direction,
which may result in limit switch contacts being
damaged.
3.If motor does not run satisfactorily or takes
higher than normal current, a fault exists and
must be remedied.
4.If current consumption and speed of motor are
satisfactory. A check should be carried out for
proper functioning of transmission linkage and
wiper arm shafts.
NOTE: Service parts are not available for
windscreen and rear window wiper motors
with exception of windscreen wiper rotary
connecting link.
