CHECK COOLING/HEATER SYSTEMS
Check cooling/heater systems for leaks and hoses for
security and condition.
Cooling system hoses should be changed at first
signs of deterioration.
CHECK CONDITION OF ENGINE MOUNTING

Tdi
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.

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.

EMISSION CONTROL

FAULT DIAGNOSIS REV: 09/95 TESTING EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL -
PRE ADVANCED EVAPS
The following pressure test procedure is intended to
provide a method for ensuring that the system does
not leak excessively and will effectively control
evaporative emissions.
Equipment required.
Nitrogen cylinder (compressed air may be used to
pressure the system when there has NEVER been
fuel present in the fuel or evaporative control
systems).
Water manometer (0 - 30" H2O or more).
Pipework and a "T" piece.
Method.
1.Ensure that there is at least two gallons of fuel in
the petrol tank unless there has never been any
fuel in the system.
2.Disconnect, at the adsorption canister, the pipe
to the vapour separator.
3.Connect this pipe to the nitrogen cylinder and
the water manometer using the "T" piece.
4.Pressurize the system to between 26.5 and 27.5
inches of water, allow the reading to stabilize,
then turn off the nitrogen supply.
5.Measure the pressure drop within a period of 2
minutes 30 seconds. If the drop is greater than
2.5 inches of water the system has failed the
test. Note that a fully sealed system will show a
slight increase in pressure.
6.Should the system fail the test, maintain the
pressure in the system and apply a soap
solution round all the joints and connections until
bubbles appear to reveal the source of the leak.
7.Repeat the test and if successful, dismantle the
test equipment and reconnect the pipe to the
adsorption canister.LEAK DETECTION PROCEDURE - ADVANCED
EVAPS
1.Connect TestBook to the vehicle and confirm
that the fault code(s) displayed relate to an
EVAP system fault.
2.Examine components in fuel and EVAP system
for damage or poorly connected joints.
3.Repair or replace components to rectify any
faults found, then reset the Check Engine light
using TestBook.
4.Carry out Drive Cycle,
See Drive Cycle -
Advanced EVAPS
5.Using TestBook confirm that the Evaporative
Loss Control (ELC) Inspection and Maintenance
(IM) flag has cleared. This procedure should
confirm that the ELC test was carried out during
the drive cycle and that the fault was cured.
6.If the IM flag is still shown, use TestBook to
interrogate the engine management system to
ascertain which of the following situations exists:
·If a fault code is shown then further investigation
is required, proceed to the next step.
·If the IM flag is still shown, but no faults are
indicated the conditions for the ELC check have
not been met and the drive cycle must be
repeated.
7.Connect the Leak Detection/EVAP Diagnostic
Station to the vehicle and carry out the
procedures given in the operating instructions
supplied with the equipment.
8.Rectify faults indicated by the Leak
Detection/EVAP Diagnostic Station and return to
step 4.
