CHECK/ADJUST HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT
Check/adjust headlamp and auxiliary alignment.
CHECK FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Use recognised wheel alignment equipment to
perform this check and adjustment.
See STEERING,
Adjustment, Front Wheel Alignment
REMOVE WHEELS, CHECK TYRES
Check tyres (including spare) for compliance with
manufacturers' specification.
Check visually for cuts, lumps, bulges, uneven tread
wear and tread depth. Check road wheels for
damage.
Check/adjust tyre pressures.
CHECK/TIGHTEN TOWING BRACKET FITTINGSINSPECT BRAKE PADS FOR WEAR, CALIPERS
FOR LEAKS AND CONDITION
Check thickness of brake pads, fit new pads if
minimum thickness is less than 3,0mm. Check brake
pads for oil contamination. If new brake pads required.
See BRAKES, Repair, Front Brake Pads
or.See BRAKES, Repair, Rear Brake Pads
WARNING: When renewing brake pads, it
is essential that only genuine components
with correct grade of lining are used.
Always fit new pads as complete axle sets, NEVER
individually or as a single wheel set. Serious
consequences could result from out of balance
braking due to mixing of linings.
Refit road wheels
Fit road wheels in original hub position. Secure in
position with wheel nuts, do not fully tighten wheel
nuts at this stage, lower vehicle and finally tighten
wheel nuts to correct torque.
Alloy wheels:
130 Nm.
Steel wheels:130 Nm.

MAINTENANCE
RESET EMISSION MAINTENANCE REMINDER -
USA
The emission maintenance reminder is designed to
activate at 52,500 and 105,000 miles respectively and
will illuminate a 'Service Engine' red warning light in
instrument binnacle.
The emission maintenance reminder must be reset
after required maintenance has been carried out and
a new tamperproof label fitted by a Land Rover of
North America dealer. This emission maintenance
reminder is part of the Emission Control System
Reset
1.The control unit is located in the passenger
footwell.
2.Identify control unit and remove from plug.
3.Remove tamperproof label to reveal access hole
for resetting.
4.Place a thin metallic probe into access hole and
momentarily electrically short between reset pins
inside unit.RECOMMENDED SERVICE ITEMS
Refer Service Schedule sheets for intervals.
Clean sunroof drain tubes, clean and lubricate guide
rails and slides.
Renew the hydraulic brake fluid.
See BRAKES,
Repair, Brake System Bleed
Renew all hydraulic brake fluid, seals, brake servo
filter and flexible hoses.
All working surfaces of the master cylinder and caliper
cylinders should be examined and renewed where
necessary.
ABS vehicles only - renew hydraulic brake fluid and
flexible hoses examine the working surfaces of the
caliper cylinders and renew the seals or cylinders
where necessary.
Air cleaner - When the vehicle is used in dusty or field
conditions or deep wading, frequent attention to the
air cleaner may be required.
ABS vehicles used extensively in arduous off-road
conditions - check the rear wheel road speed sensor
for abrasive wear.

REAR AXLE AND FINAL DRIVE
1
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The welded steel rear axle casing houses a separate
spiral bevel type differential unit, which is off set to the
right of the vehicle centre line. The differential unit
drives the rear wheels via the axle shafts and fully
floating hubs which are mounted on tapered roller
bearings.
Lubrication
The differential is lubricated with oil and the hub
bearings with grease. The hub bearings are fittedwith inner and outer seals. The outer seals prevent
the differential oil mixing with the hub grease and the
inner seals prevent dirt ingress into the hub.
Ventilation
Ventilation of the hub bearings is through the outer oil
seals and the differential ventilation pipe, which
terminates at a high level.
The wheel hubs on axles with ABS brakes share the
same construction to non ABS axles except for the
addition of a sensor ring 11 on the brake disc 10.
