OVERHAUL 48.Repeat on other bearing bore. Add readings
then halve sum to obtain mean reading. Note
whether trace pin has moved up or down from
zero.
A. Where trace pin moves down, reading is
equal to thickness of shims to remove, to
bring pinion to nominal.
B. Where trace pin moves up, reading is
equal to thickness of shims to add, to bring
pinion to nominal.
49.Before adjusting shim thickness: check pinion
face marking. If a plus (+) figure, subtract in
thousandths of an inch from shim thickness
figure.
50.If pinion has a minus (-) figure, add amount to
shim thickness figure.
Adjust shim thickness under pinion head bearing
track as necessary.

NOTE: Where dial indicator is metric
conversion must be made to inches when
measuring and selecting shims.
51.Recheck pinion height setting. If setting is
correct, mean reading of dial gauge will agree
with figure marked on pinion end face.
For example, with end face marking of +3, dial
gauge reading should indicate pinion is +0.003
in.Bearing pre-load adjustment
52.Remove the pinion flange, pinion, outer bearing
and spacer.
53.Slide new shim, of same thickness as original
(bearing pre-load) into position on pinion shaft. If
fitting a new shim use thickest shim 2.155 mm.
54.Fit pinion to pinion housing and fit outer bearing
and spacer (front differential only).
55.Fit driving flange, washer and nut.
56.Do not fit oil seal at this stage.
57.Tighten pinion flange nut to130 Nm.Force to
rotate pinion shaft is 3Nm using new bearings.
Change shim as necessary to obtain reading.
Thicker shim will reduce pre-load. Thinner shim
will increase pre-load.
NOTE: If using original bedded in
bearings, pre-load figure is 1.5 Nm.
58.Remove pinion flange.

YES - suspect seal in component. Check and
replace as necessary.
NO - end.
6.Is oil escaping from filler cap?
YES - bleed system.
See Repair, Power
Steering System - Bleed
NO - go to 8.
7.Is oil still escaping from filler cap?
YES - go back to 1.
NO - end.
8.Is oil leaking from PAS pump?
YES - go to 10.
NO - continue.
9.Is oil leaking from PAS box?
YES - go to 10.
NO - end.
10.Clean unit, add tracer dye to system. Retest
11.Is oil still leaking?
YES - establish leak point. Repair or replace
unit as necessary.
NO - end.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Radio frequency system
The RF system uses frequencies according to market
and both ECU and handset are colour coded:
Territory ECU/Handset............................... Frequency..................
Europe Blue/Blue.................................. 433.92 MHz.........................
NAS Green/Green....................................... 315.00 MHz....................
Japan Green/Green.................................... 315.00 MHz....................
Gulf Green/Green....................................... 315.00 MHz....................
Rest of World Green/Brown........................ 315.00 MHz...................
NOTE: In service NAS, Japan and Gulf will
have the handset changed to brown.
Passive coil
The passive coil excites a receiving coil in the handset
causing it to automatically transmit a remobilisation
signal to the ECU.
Inertia switch and central door locking
Actuation of the inertia switch will cause the doors to
be unlocked. A time-out period (programmable
between 0-5 minutes) will ensue, during which all CDL
and alarm activity is disabled.
NOTE: This feature only applies when the
starter switch is in the on position.
Handset
Under normal circumstances pressing the respective
buttons on the handset once, will unlock or lock the
vehicle. If operating the handset does not achieve the
desired effect
See Repair, Handset.
Functional detail
For full functional details and circuit diagrams
See
Electrical Trouble Shooting Manual..
Vehicle traceability
All Land Rover vehicles are fitted with a multitude of
discreet security features to prevent theft or assist
recovery in the event of a vehicle being stolen. All
vehicles are traceable, since it is impossible to
remove all security identification.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS TEST 4:
Pick-up Coil Resistance
Remove amplifier.
Connect ohmmeter leads to two pick-up terminals in
body of distributor.
The ohmmeter should register between 2k and 5k
ohm if pick-up is satisfactory. If ohmmeter reading is
correct, check all connections between pick-up and
amplifier, if satisfactory, fit new amplifier. If engine still
does not start carry out Test 5.
Change pick-up if ohmmeter reading is incorrect. If
engine still does not start proceed to Test 5.TEST 5:
Coil H.T. Sparking
Remove existing coil/distributor H.T. lead and fit test
H.T. lead to coil tower. Using suitable insulated pliers,
hold free end about 6mm from engine block and crank
engine. There should be good H.T. sparking.
If weak or no sparking, fit new coil, repeat test.
H.T. sparking good, repeat test with original H.T. lead.
If sparking is good carry out Test 6.
If weak or no sparking, fit new H.T. lead, if engine will
not start carry out Test 6.

REPAIR ELECTRONIC IGNITION - V8i
A Lucas 35DLM8 distributor is employed. This has a
conventional vacuum advance unit and centrifugal
automatic advance mechanism.
A pick-up module, in conjunction with a rotating timing
reluctor inside distributor body, generates timing
signals. These are applied to an electronic ignition
amplifier module mounted on side of distributor body.
NOTE: Pick-up air gap is factory set. Do
not adjust gap unless pick-up is being
changed or base plate has been moved.
Use a non-ferrous feeler gauge to set air gap.
