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.

2.Raise vehicle to enable axle stands to be
installed under left and right hand axle tubes.
3.Lower jack until axle sits securely on axle
stands, remove trolley jack.
4.Before commencing work on underside of
vehicle re-check security of vehicle on stands.
5.Reverse procedure when removing vehicle from
stands.
HYDRAULIC VEHICLE RAMP (FOUR POST)
Use only a 'drive on' type ramp which supports vehicle
by its own road wheels. If a 'wheel-free' condition is
required, use a 'drive on' ramp incorporating a
'wheel-free' system that supports under axle casings.
Alternatively, place vehicle on a firm, flat floor and
support on axle stands.
TWO POST VEHICLE RAMPS
The manufacturer of LAND ROVER VEHICLES
DOES NOT recommend using 'Two Post' ramps
that employ four adjustable support arms. These
are NOT considered safe for Land Rover vehicles.
If vehicle is installed on a Two Post ramp
responsibility for safety of vehicle and personnel
performing service operations is in the hands of
the Service Provider.DYNAMOMETER TESTING - NON ANTI-LOCK
BRAKE VEHICLES
Viscous coupling
The front and rear axles cannot be driven
independently due to the viscous coupling. This
eliminates the need for differential lock by
progressively locking the centre differential
automatically if slip occurs at any wheel.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to drive
individual wheels with vehicle supported
on floor jacks or stands.
Four wheel dynamometers
Provided that front and rear dynamometer rollers are
rotating at identical speeds and that normal workshop
safety standards are applied, there is no speed
restriction during testing except any that may apply to
the tyres.
Two wheel dynamometers
IMPORTANT: Use a four wheel dynamometer for
brake testing if possible.
If brake testing on a single axle rig is necessary it
must be carried out with propeller shaft to rear axle
removed, AND neutral selected in BOTH main
gearbox and transfer gearbox. When checking brakes,
run engine at idle speed to maintain servo vacuum.
If checking engine performance, the transfer box must
be in high range and propeller shaft to stationary axle
must be removed.

NOTE: Before testing a vehicle on a four
wheel dynamometer disconnect the valve
relay.
See Electrical Trouble Shooting
Manual.
The ABS function will not work, the ABS warning
light will illuminate. Normal braking will be
available.
Provided that front and rear rollers are rotating at
identical speeds and that normal workshop safety
standards are applied, there is no speed restriction
during testing except any that may apply to the tyres.
Two wheel dynamometers
IMPORTANT: Use a four wheel dynamometer for
brake testing if possible.
NOTE: ABS will not function on a two
wheel dynamometer. The ABS light will
illuminate during testing. Normal braking
will be available.
If brake testing on a single rig is necessary it must be
carried out with propeller shaft to the rear axle
removed, AND neutral selected in BOTH main and
transfer boxes.
If checking engine performance, the transfer box must
be in high range and drive shaft to stationary axle
removed.
TOWING
CAUTION: The vehicle has permanent
four-wheel drive. The following towing
instructions must be adhered to:
Towing the vehicle on all four wheels with driver
operating steering and brakes.
1.Turn ignition key turn to position '1' to release
steering lock.
2.Select neutral in main gearbox and transfer
gearbox.
3.Secure tow rope, chain or cable to towing eye.
4.Release the parking brake.
CAUTION: The brake servo and power
assisted steering system will not be
functional without the engine running.
Greater pedal pressure will be required to apply
the brakes, the steering system will require
greater effort to turn the front road wheels.
The vehicle tow connection should be used only
in normal road conditions, 'snatch' recovery
should be avoided.
Suspended tow by breakdown vehicle
CAUTION: To prevent vehicle damage,
front or rear propeller shaft MUST BE
removed, dependent upon which axle is
being trailed.
1.Mark propeller shaft drive flanges at transfer
gearbox and axles with identification lines to
enable the propeller shaft to be refitted in its
original position.
2.Remove the propeller shaft fixings, remove the
shaft from the vehicle.
3.If the front axle is to be trailed turn ignition key to
position '1' to release steering lock.
CAUTION: The steering wheel and/or
linkage must be secured in a straight
ahead position. DO NOT use the steering
lock mechanism for this purpose.

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.

CAUTION: Anti-freeze content must never be allowed to fall below 25% otherwise damage to the
engine is liable to occur. Also, anti-freeze content should not exceed 60% as this will greatly
reduce the cooling effect of the coolant.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Catalyst vehicles
Vehicles equipped with catalytic converter are designed to use ONLY unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel must be used
for the emission control system to operate properly. Its use will also reduce spark plug fouling, exhaust system
corrosion and engine oil deterioration.
Using fuel that contains lead will result in damage to the emission control system and could result in loss of
warranty coverage. The effectiveness of the catalysts in the catalytic converters will be seriously impaired if leaded
fuel is used. The vehicle is equipped with an electronic fuel injection system, which includes two oxygen sensors.
Leaded fuel will damage the sensors, and will deteriorate the emission control system.
Regulations require that pumps delivering unleaded fuel be labelledUNLEADED.Only these pumps have nozzles
which fit the filler neck of the vehicle fuel tank.

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.
