MAINTENANCE CHECK/TOP UP BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR
WARNING: DO NOT drive the vehicle with
the fluid level below 'MIN' mark.
Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces; clean up
any spillage immediately and rinse with plenty of
water.
If brake fluid should come into contact with skin
or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
1.Check the fluid level visually through transparent
side of reservoir without removing cap.
2.If level is below 'MAX' mark clean and remove
reservoir cap.
3.Top up to 'MAX' mark with recommended brake
fluid
See LUBRICANTS, FLUIDS AND
CAPACITIES, Information, Recommended
lubricants and fluids
CHECK/TOP UP WASHER RESERVOIR
Top up washer reservoir to within 25 mm (1.0 in) of
filler neck. Use a screen washer solvent/anti-freeze
solution to assist removing mud, flies, and road film
and protect against freezing.
LUBRICATE ACCELERATOR LINKAGES
Lubricate accelerator cable at adjustment ferrule and
linkage with injector pump and at pedal clevis pin.CHECK/ADJUST ENGINE IDLE SPEED
Check/adjust low and high engine idle speed with
engine at normal running temperature.
See FUEL
SYSTEM, Adjustment, low and high idle speed
adjustment
CHECK/ADJUST STEERING BOX
Check steering box and pipes/hoses for fluid leaks.
Check that there is no backlash in steering box when
in straight ahead position. Adjust steering box if
necessary.
See STEERING, Adjustment, Power
steering box
VISUALLY CHECK INTERCOOLER/RADIATOR
FOR EXTERNAL OBSTRUCTIONS
Check intercooler/radiator for external obstructions. If
necessary, apply air pressure to engine side of matrix
to clear obstruction. If mud or dirt is evident, carefully
use a hose to wash away obstruction.
FLUSH DIESEL INTERCOOLER
Remove
1.Remove intercooler matrix.
See FUEL
SYSTEM, Repair, Intercooler
2.Flush matrix with ICI 'GENKLENE' proprietary
cleaner, following manufacturers instructions.
3.Dry intercooler completely ensuring that no liquid
remains in matrix.
Refit
4.Refit intercooler matrix.

1.Clean all grease nipples on front and rear
propeller shafts.
2.Using a low pressure hand grease gun, apply
recommended grease
See LUBRICANTS,
FLUIDS AND CAPACITIES, Information,
Recommended lubricants and fluids
to grease
nipples at front and rear propeller shaft universal
and sliding joints.

ROD BALL JOINT FIXINGS, CHECK CONDITION
OF BALL JOINTS AND DUST COVERSBall joints are lubricated for life during manufacture
and require no further lubrication unless the rubber
boot has been dislodged or damaged. All joints should
be checked at specified service intervals, but more
frequently if vehicle is used under arduous conditions.
1.Check for wear in joints by moving ball joint up
and down vigorously. If free movement is
apparent, fit a new joint assembly.

DRAIN AND CLEAN FUEL SEDIMENTER, IF
FITTED
The fuel sedimenter is located on a chassis side
member on the RH side of vehicle near rear wheel. It
increases the working life of the fuel filter by removing
larger droplets of water and other matter from fuel.
NOTE: On 110/130 models with a twin tank
fuel system, two sedimenters may be
fitted, one on each side of the vehicle
chassis.
1.Slacken drain plug and allow any water to drain
off.

MAINTENANCEREV: 05/99 ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
Camshaft drive belt
The engine timing gears are driven by a toothed
rubber belt which must be renewed at intervals
determined by the severity of operating conditions. In
reasonable, temperate climate operation, the belt
should be renewed every 120,000 km (72,000 miles)
or every six years whichever occurs earlier.
In adverse operating conditions, such as work in dusty
atmospheres, high ambient temperatures, desert and
tropical zones, renew the belt every 60,000 km
(36,000 miles) or every three years, whichever occurs
earlier.
CAUTION: If the drive belt is not renewed
at the correct interval, it could fail,
resulting in serious engine damage.
Oil change diesel engines
If the vehicle is operated on fuel with a high sulphur
content (over 1%) the oil change intervals must not
exceed 5000 km (3000 miles).
Anti-freeze
At two yearly intervals or at the onset of the second
winter, the cooling system should be drained, flushed
and refilled with the required water and anti-freeze
solution.
Hydraulic brake fluid.
It is recommended that at 40,000 km (24,000 miles)
intervals or every two years, whichever is the earlier,
the hydraulic brake fluid should be completely
renewed.
At 80,000 km (48,000 miles) intervals or every four
years, whichever is the earlier, all hydraulic brake fluid
seals and flexible hoses should be renewed. All
working surfaces of the master cylinder and caliper
cylinders should be examined and renewed 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.
Dampers
At 60,000 km (36,000 miles) intervals remove all
suspension dampers, test for correct operation, refit or
renew as necessary.
SPECIAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
When the vehicle is operated in extremely arduous
conditions or on dusty, wet or muddy terrain, more
frequent attention should be paid to all servicing
requirements.
Additional daily or weekly attention depending on
operating conditions:
Check/top-up transfer box oil.
Check steering rubber boots for security and
condition. Renew if damaged.
Check brake fluid level: Investigate cause if any fluid
loss is suspected.
Clean brake discs and calipers.
Lubricate front and rear propeller shaft
universal/sliding joints. Under tropical or severe
conditions, particularly where sand is encountered,
the sliding joints must be lubricated very frequently to
prevent ingress of abrasive material.
Every week and every maintenance inspection check
tyre pressures and inspect tyre treads and side walls.
Under arduous cross-country conditions the tyre
pressures should be checked much more frequently,
even to the extent of a daily check.
Monthly
Renew gearbox oil.
Renew transfer box oil.
Check air cleaner element and renew every 6 months
or as necessary.

REPAIR CYLINDER COMPRESSION TEST
Service repair no - 12.25.01
1.Start and run engine to normal operating
temperature.
2.Switch off engine.
3.Disconnect spill return hose and fuel pipe from
No.1 injector.
4.Remove retaining nut, release clamp and
withdraw injector from cylinder head.
See FUEL
SYSTEM, Repair, injectors
5.Disconnect electrical lead from fuel cut-off
solenoid at injection pump to prevent delivery of
fuel to injectors. On vehicles fitted with a digital
diesel shut-off valve (DDS) immobilisation
system, disconnect DDS multi-plug.
6.Ensure injector port is clean, If necessary, crank
the engine a few revolutions to remove any
loose carbon.
7.Fit dummy injector, from diesel compression
tester kitLRT-19-007, into the cylinder head and
clamp securely in position.
8.Connect flexible hose and gauge to dummy
injector as shown above.
9.Crank engine for 10-20 seconds and note
reading on gauge. The gauge will indicate the
compression of the cylinder and maintain the
reading until the pressure release valve on the
gauge is depressed.
Expected readings of a crank test, with vehicle
battery fully charged, compression ratio 19.5:1
should be 24 bar (348 lbf/in
2).10.Repeat test procedure for remaining clinders in
turn.
NOTE: A variation in compression
readings between cylinders is often a
better indication of an engine problem
than the absolute values of compression.
11.If compression is appreciably less than correct
reading, or varies by more than 10%, piston
rings or valves may be worn or damaged.
Low pressures in adjoining cylinders may
indicate a faulty cylinder head gasket.
