CHECK IGNITION WIRING
Check ignition wiring and high tension leads for
fraying, chafing and deterioration.
CLEAN DISTRIBUTOR CAP - V8i
The electronic ignition employs a Lucas 35DLM8
distributor.
Internal operating parts of distributor are pre-set at
factory and do not normally require resetting.
Adjustments should only be made if unit is known to
be faulty or damaged. Distributor maintenance
consists of following items.
1.Clean outer surfaces of distributor cap to remove
dirt, grease etc.
2.Unclip cap, check cap for cracks.
3.Wipe inside cap with lint free cloth.
4.Check rotor arm, cap and flash shield tracking.
DO NOT DISTURB clear plastic insulating
cover (flash shield) which protects magnetic
pick-up module.
LUBRICATE DISTRIBUTOR ROTOR SPINDLE - V8i
Apply a spot of clean engine oil into rotor spindle after
rotor arm has been removed.
CLEAN/ADJUST SPARK PLUGS - V8i CATALYST
RENEW SPARK PLUGS V8i - V8i CATALYST
Clean, adjust and renew
1.Take great care when fitting spark plugs not to
cross-thread plug, otherwise costly damage to
cylinder head will result.

MAINTENANCE
CHECK/TOP UP COOLING SYSTEM
1.To prevent corrosion of aluminium alloy engine
parts it is imperative that cooling system is filled
with a solution of water and phosphate free
anti-freeze, winter or summer. Never fill or top up
with plain water.
WARNING: Do not remove filler cap when
engine is hot because cooling system is
pressurised and personal scalding could
result.
2.When removing filler cap, turn cap slowly
anti-clockwise, pause and allow all pressure to
escape.
3.Continue to turn until cap is removed.
4.When engine is cold expansion tank coolant
should be level with top of indicator post, visible
inside tank through filler hole.
5.If necessary, top up cooling system with
premixed coolant. Use soft water whenever
possible, if local water supply is hard, rainwater
should be used.
6.When replacing filler cap it is important that it is
tightened down fully. Failure to tighten filler cap
properly may result in water loss, with possible
damage to engine
The cooling system should be drained and flushed at
2 year intervals or at onset of second winter. Refer to
Coolant Requirements.
See COOLING SYSTEM,
Adjustment, Coolant RequirementsCHECK/ TOP UP POWER STEERING FLUID
RESERVOIR
1.Remove fluid reservoir cap. Check that fluid is
up to high mark on dipstick.
CHECK/ TOP UP CLUTCH AND BRAKE FLUID
RESERVOIRS
CAUTION: Brake fluid can damage
paintwork. If spillage occurs, wash
affected area IMMEDIATELY with a large
quantity of water.
CHECK/TOP UP WASHER RESERVOIR
Top up washer reservoir to within 25 mm of filler neck.
Use a screen washer solvent/anti-freeze solution to
assist removing mud, flies and road film and protect
against freezing.
