INTRODUCTION
How To Use This Manual
Introduction
This Manual is designed to assist skilled technicians
in the efficient repair and maintenance of Discovery
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.
General
To assist in the use of this Manual, it is divided into
sections and sub-sections. The section title is given
at the top of each page and the relevant sub-section
is given at the bottom.
There is a single contents section at the front of the
Manual, which is divided by section and sub-section.
Each section is numbered from page 1.
The individual items comprising repair operations are
to be followed in the sequence in which they appear.
Items numbers in the illustration are referred to in the
text.
Adjustment and Repair operations include reference
to Service tool numbers and the associated
illustration depicts the tool in use. Adjustment and
repair operations also include reference to wear
limits, relevant data, torque figures, and specialist
information and useful assembly details. Each
adjustment or repair operation is given its Service
Repair Operation number.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTES have the
following meanings:
WARNING: Procedures which must be followed
precisely to avoid the possibility of injury.
CAUTION: Calls attention to procedures which
must be followed to avoid damage to
components.
NOTE: Gives helpful information.References
References to the LH or RH side given in this Manual
are made when viewing the vehicle from the rear.
With the engine and gearbox assembly removed, the
crankshaft pulley end of the engine is referred to as
the front.
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.
Dimensions
The dimensions quoted are to design engineering
specification with Service limits where applicable.

GENERAL INFORMATION
03-13
Self-locking nuts
Self-locking nuts, i.e. nylon insert or deferred thread
nuts can be re-used providing resistance can be felt
when the locking portion of the nut passes over the
thread of the bolt or stud.
Where self-locking nuts have been removed, it is
advisable to replace them with new ones of the same
type.
Flexible Pipes and Hoses
General
When removing and installing flexible hydraulic pipes
and hoses, ensure that the following practices are
observed to ensure component serviceability.
lBefore removing any brake or power steering
hose, clean end fittings and area surrounding
them as thoroughly as possible.
lObtain appropriate plugs or caps before
detaching hose end fittings, so that the ports can
be immediately covered to prevent the ingress
of dirt.
lClean hose externally and blow through with
airline. Examine carefully for cracks, separation
of plies, security of end fittings and external
damage. Reject any faulty hoses.
lWhen refitting a hose, ensure that no
unnecessary bends are introduced, and that
hose is not twisted before or during tightening of
union nuts.
lFit a cap to seal a hydraulic union and a plug to
its socket after removal to prevent ingress of
dirt.
lAbsolute cleanliness must be observed with
hydraulic components at all times.
lAfter any work on hydraulic systems, carefully
inspect for leaks underneath the vehicle while a
second operator applies maximum brake
pressure to the brakes (engine running) and
operates the steering.

GENERAL INFORMATION
03-15
Hose clips
Markings (4) are usually provided on the hose to
indicate the correct clip position. If no markings are
provided, position the clip directly behind the
retaining lip at the end of the stub as shown. Worm
drive clips should be oriented with the crimped side
of the drive housing (5) facing towards the end of the
hose, or the hose may become pinched between the
clip and the stub pipe retaining lip. Worm drive clips
should be tightened to 3 Nm (2 lbf.ft) unless
otherwise stated. Ensure that hose clips do not foul
adjacent components.
Heat protection
Always ensure that heatshields and protective
sheathing are in good condition. Replace if damage
is evident. Particular care must be taken when
routing hoses close to hot engine components, such
as the exhaust manifold and the Exhaust Gas
Recirculation (EGR) pipe. Hoses will relax and
deflect slightly when hot; ensure this movement is
taken into account when routing and securing hoses.
Rolling Road Testing
General
IMPORTANT: Use a four wheel rolling road for
brake testing if possible.
WARNING: Do not attempt to test ABS function
on a rolling road.
Four wheel rolling road
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.
Before testing a vehicle with anti-lock brakes on a
four wheel rolling road, disconnect the ABS
modulator. The ABS function will not work, the ABS
warning light will illuminate. Normal braking will be
available.
Two wheel rolling road
Up to 03MY
ABS will not function on a two wheel rolling road. The
ABS light will illuminate during testing. Normal
braking will be available.
If brake testing on a two wheel rolling road is
necessary, the following precautions should be
taken:
lPropeller shaft to the rear axle is removed.
lNeutral selected in gearbox.
When checking brakes, run engine at idle speed to
maintain servo vacuum.
From 03MY
The differential lock must be engaged for two wheel
rolling road testing. It will also be necessary to
disconnect the propeller shaft from the transfer box
output shaft driving the axle whose wheels are NOT
on the rolling road. Additionally, the ETC system
must be deactivated by either removing the 10 amp
fuse (Number 28, labelled ABS in the main fuse box)
or disconnecting the ABS modulator pump. This
must be done with the ignition OFF ; a fault in the
ABS system may still be recorded.
WARNING; VEHICLES NOT FITTED WITH A
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK MUST NOT BE TESTED
ON A ROLLING ROAD WHERE THE ROLLERS
ARE DRIVEN BY THE VEHICLE.
