GENERAL FITTING REMINDERS

INFORMATION GENERAL FITTING REMINDERS
WORKSHOP SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!
The suggestions, cautions and warnings in the
section are intended to serve as reminders for
trained and experienced mechanics. This manual
is not a definitive guide to automotive mechanics
or workshop safety.
Shop equipment, shop environment, and the use
and disposal of solvents, fluids, and chemicals
are subject to government regulations which are
intended to provide a level of safety. It is your
responsibility to know and comply with such
regulations.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST DAMAGE
1.Always fit covers to protect fenders before
commencing work in engine compartment.
2.Cover seats and carpets, wear clean overalls
and wash hands or wear gloves before working
inside vehicle.
3.Avoid spilling hydraulic fluid or battery acid on
paint work. Wash off with water immediately if
this occurs. Use Polythene sheets to protect
carpets and seats.
4.Always use a recommended Service Tool where
specified.
5.Protect temporarily exposed screw threads by
replacing nuts or fitting plastic caps.SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.Whenever possible, use a lift when working
beneath vehicle, in preference to jacking. Chock
wheels as well as applying parking brake.
WARNING: Do not use a pit when
removing fuel system components.
2.Never rely on a jack alone to support vehicle.
Use axle stands carefully placed at jacking
points to provide rigid support.
3.Ensure that a suitable form of fire extinguisher is
conveniently located.
4.Check that any lifting equipment used has
adequate capacity and is fully serviceable.
5.Disconnect battery.
WARNING: Do not disconnect any pipes in
air conditioning system, unless trained
and instructed to do so. A refrigerant is
used which can cause blindness if allowed to
contact eyes.
6.Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided
when volatile degreasing agents are being used.
7.Do not apply heat in an attempt to free stiff
fixings; as well as causing damage to protective
coatings, there is a risk of damage to electronic
equipment and brake linings from stray heat.

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE SERVICE SCHEDULE
The following section describes the items detailed in
the vehicle Service Schedule. Where required
instructions are given for carrying out the service
procedure, or a cross reference is given to the section
in the manual where the procedure may be found.
Service Maintenance Schedules are published
separately to reflect the needs and intervals for each
vehicle variant. Procedures in the Workshop Manual
must be used in conjunction with the Service
Schedule sheets.
Service Maintenance Schedules are available from:
Land Rover Publications,
Character Mailing,
Heysham Road,
Bootle,
Merseyside, L70 1JL
VEHICLE INTERIOR
CHECK SEATS & BELTS
Check condition and security of seat belts, seat belt
mountings, seat belt buckles and operation of inertia
seat belts.
CHECK OPERATION OF LAMPS
Check operation of all lamps, horns and warning
indicators.
CHECK OPERATION OF WIPERS
Check operation of front/rear wipers and washers and
condition of wiper blades.CHECK OPERATION OF HANDBRAKE
Handbrake check/adjust
1.Chock road wheels.
2.Raise one rear wheel clear of ground and
support securely with axle stand.
3.Release handbrake lever.
4.Underneath vehicle, tighten adjuster bolt
clockwise to
25 Nm (18 lbf/ft)to fully lock brake
drum.
5.Slacken adjusting bolt by 1.5 turns to give brake
shoes running clearance. Check that the drum is
free to rotate.
6.Adjust handbrake cable locknuts to give pawl
two notches free movement on the rachet before
being fully operational on third notch of rachet.
NOTE: Cable adjustment must ONLY be
used for initial setting and to compensate
for cable stretch. It MUST NOT be used to
take up brake shoe wear, which MUST be adjusted
at brake drum.
7.Operate handbrake to settle brake shoes.
Recheck handbrake is fully operational on third
notch of rachet pawl. Readjust if necessary.
8.Remove axle stand and wheel chocks.

MAINTENANCE BATTERY CONNECTIONS
NOTE: The vehicle may be fitted with an
alarm and immobilisation system using a
battery backed-up alarm sounder.
See
ELECTRICAL, Repair, Battery
Disconnect battery leads, clean and grease with
petroleum jelly, including battery terminals.
CHECK OPERATION OF DOOR SWITCHES
When a Vehicle Immobilisation and Alarm System is
fitted it is important that all door and bonnet switches
operate correctly, otherwise perimeter and interior
protection may not function if a door or the bonnet is
opened.VEHICLE EXTERIOR
CHECK/ADJUST HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT
Check/adjust headlamp alignment.
CHECK ROAD WHEELS AND TYRES
Check road wheels for damage.
Check tyres, including spare, for compliance with
manufacture's specificaton.
Check visually for cuts, lumps, bulges, uneven tread
wear and tread depth.
See INTRODUCTION,
Information, wheels and tyres
Check/adjust tyre pressures.See WHEELS AND
TYRES, Repair, Tyres pressures
INSPECT BRAKE PADS FOR WEAR, CALIPERS
FOR LEAKS AND CONDITION OF DISCS
Check thickness of brake pads, and renew if thickness
is less than 3,00 mm (0.12 in). Check brake pads for
oil contamination and fit a new set, if necessary,
See
BRAKES, Repair, front brake pads
orSee
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.
CHECK FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Use recognised wheel alignment equipment to carry
out this operation.
See STEERING, Adjustment,
front wheel alignment
CHECK OPERATION OF ALL DOORS/TAILGATE,
BONNET AND LOCKS
LUBRICATE ALL DOOR/TAILGATE HINGES, AND
DOOR CHECK/LOCK MECHANISMS
