INFORMATION INTRODUCTION
This workshop manual covers vehicles from 1995
model year onwards. Amendments and additional
pages will be issued to ensure that the manual
covers latest models. Amendments and additions
will be identified by the addition of a dated footer
at the bottom of the page.
This Workshop Manual is designed to assist skilled
technicians in the efficient repair and maintenance of
Land Rover vehicles.
Individuals who undertake their own repairs
should have some skill and training, and limit
repairs to components which could not affect the
safety of the vehicle or its passengers. Any
repairs required to safety critical items such as
steering, brakes, suspension or supplementary
restraint system should be carried out by a Land
Rover Dealer. Repairs to such items should
NEVER be attempted by untrained individuals.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONSandNOTESare given
throughout this Manual in the following form:
WARNING: Procedures which must be
followed precisely to avoid the possibility
of personal injury.
CAUTION: This calls attention to
procedures which must be followed to
avoid damage to components.
NOTE: This calls attention to methods
which make a job easier or gives helpful
information.
DIMENSIONS
The dimensions quoted are to design engineering
specification. Alternative unit equivalents, shown in
brackets following the dimensions, have been
converted from the original specification.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, some 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
completion and if necessary a road test of the vehicle
is carried out particularly where safety related items
are concerned.
REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS
When replacement parts are required it is essential
that Land Rover parts are used.
Attention is particularly drawn to the following points
concerning repairs and the fitting of replacement parts
and accessories: Safety features embodied in the
vehicle may be impaired if other than Land Rover
parts are fitted. In certain territories, legislation
prohibits the fitting of parts not to the vehicle
manufacturer's specification. Torque spanner values
given in the Workshop Manual must be strictly
adhered to. Locking devices, where specified, must be
fitted. If the efficiency of a locking device is impaired
during removal it must be replaced with a new one.
Certain fasteners must not be re-used. These
fasteners are specified in the Workshop Manual.
POISONOUS SUBSTANCES
Many liquids and other substances used are
poisonous and therefore must not be consumed. It is
also advisable to keep all substances away from open
wounds. These substances among others include
anti-freeze, brake fluid, fuel, windscreen washer
additives, air conditioning refrigerant, lubricants and
various adhesives.

GENERAL FITTING REMINDERS

INFORMATION GENERAL FITTING REMINDERS
WORKSHOP SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!
The suggestions, cautions and warnings in the
section are intended to serve as reminders for
trained and experienced mechanics. This manual
is not a course in automotive mechanics or
workshop safety.
Shop equipment, shop environment, and the use
and disposal of solvents, fluids, and chemicals
are subject to government regulations which are
intended to provide a level of safety. It is your
responsibility to know and comply with such
regulations.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST DAMAGE
1.Always fit covers to protect fenders before
commencing work in engine compartment.
2.Cover seats and carpets, wear clean overalls
and wash hands or wear gloves before working
inside vehicle.
3.Avoid spilling hydraulic fluid or battery acid on
paint work. Wash off with water immediately if
this occurs. Use Polythene sheets to protect
carpets and seats.
4.Always use a recommended Service Tool, or a
satisfactory equivalent, where specified.
5.Protect temporarily exposed screw threads by
replacing nuts or fitting plastic caps.SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.Whenever possible use a lift or pit when working
beneath vehicle, in preference to jacking. Chock
wheels as well as applying parking brake.
WARNING: Do not use a pit when
removing fuel system components.
2.Never rely on a jack alone to support vehicle.
Use axle stands carefully placed at jacking
points to provide rigid support.
3.Ensure that a suitable form of fire extinguisher is
conveniently located.
4.Check that any lifting equipment used has
adequate capacity and is fully serviceable.
5.Disconnect battery negative lead.
WARNING: Do not disconnect any pipes in
air conditioning refrigeration system,
unless trained and instructed to do so. A
refrigerant is used which can cause blindness if
allowed to contact eyes.
6.Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided
when volatile degreasing agents are being used.
7.Do not apply heat in an attempt to free stiff nuts
or fittings; as well as causing damage to
protective coatings, there is a risk of damage to
electronic equipment and brake linings from
stray heat.

INFORMATION Propeller shaft Front

Lubrication nipples
(hubs, ball joints
etc.)
Seat slides
Door lock striker
Brake and clutch
reservoirsBrake fluids having a minimum boiling point of 260°C (500°F) and complying with
FMVSS 116 DOT4
Engine coolant Use an ethylene glycol based anti-freeze (containing no methanol)
V8i, Tdi, Mpi with non-phosphate corrosion inhibitors suitable for use in aluminium engines to ensure
the protection of the cooling system against frost and corrosion in all seasons. Use one
part anti-freeze to one part water for protection down to -36°C (-33°F).
IMPORTANT: Coolant solution must not fall below proportions one part
anti-freeze to three parts water, i.e. minimum 25% anti-freeze in coolant otherwise
damage to engine is liable to occur. Or a maximum of 60%.

LUBRICATION PRACTICE
Use a high quality oil of the correct viscosity range and service classification in the engine during maintenance and
when topping up. The use of oil not to the correct specification can lead to high oil and fuel consumption and
ultimately to damaged components.
Oil to the correct specification contains additives which disperse the corrosive acids formed by combustion and
prevent the formation of sludge which can block the oilways. Additional oil additives should not be used. Always
adhere to the recommended servicing intervals.
WARNING: Many liquids and other substances used in motor vehicles are poisonous. They must
not be consumed and must be kept away from open wounds. These substances, among others,
include anti-freeze windscreen washer additives, lubricants and various adhesives.
