2001 LAND ROVER FREELANDER check engine

LIFTING AND TOWING
08-2
Raising the front of a vehicle
Position the cup of the hydraulic arm under the
centre of the front body crossmember assembly.
Use jack to raise front road wheels to enable safety
stands to be installed under the front end of each
longitudinal member.
Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on
safety stands.
Before working on the underside of a vehicle re-
check the stability of the vehicle on the stands.
Use the reverse procedure when removing a vehicle
from stands.
NOTE: For some repair operations it may be
necessary to use a jack to support the engine under
the sump. In this case, a block of wood should be
used on the jack to protect the sump.
Raising the rear of a vehicle
Position cup of hydraulic arm under the centre of the
rear subframe crossmember at the position
identified by the embossed arrows.
Use jack to raise rear road wheels to enable safety
stands to be installed under the rear ends of the
body longitudinal members.
Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on
safety stands.
Before working on the underside of a vehicle, re-
check the stability of the vehicle on the stands.
Use the reverse procedure when removing a vehicle
from stands.
Wheel-free lift
Locate the lifting pads under the ends of the body
longitudinal members. Raise the ramp to support the
weight of the vehicle, ensure the vehicle is secure on
the lifting pads, then raise the ramp to the required
height.
Towing
General
The vehicle has permanent four wheel drive. The
following instructions must be adhered to:
Towing the vehicle on all four wheels with driver
operating steering and brakes
lTurn ignition key to position '1' to release
steering lock and then to position 'II' to enable
the brake lights, wipers and direction indicators
to be operated, if necessary.
l Select neutral in gearbox and ensure HDC (hill
descent control) is deselected.
lSecure tow rope, chain or cable to towing eye.
lRelease 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 and the steering
system will require greater effort to turn the front
road wheels. The vehicle tow connection should
only be used under normal road conditions,
'snatch' recovery should be avoided.
Suspended tow by breakdown vehicle
Mark propeller shaft drive flanges and mating flanges
with identification lines to enable the propeller shaft
to be refitted in its original position.
Remove the propeller shaft fixings then remove the
shaft from the vehicle.
CAUTION: To prevent vehicle damage, rear
propeller shaft MUST BE removed.

Fluids
Fuel
Always use the following recommended fuels:
Petrol engines
Use unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of
95 RON to ENN 228 specification.
In an emergency (and only if the correct fuel is
unavailable), lower octane rated fuel can be used for
very limited periods of moderate, low speed
motoring, provided engine 'knocking' does not occur.
Fuels of 90 RON is used in certain markets; 90 RON
fuel can be used regularly ONLY if the engine has
been tuned specifically to suit low octane fuel.
Certain markets use fuel containing a 23% Ethanol
additive.
K1.8 and KV6 engines are also available for use with
a low octane leaded fuel specification in some
markets.
Diesel engines
Use a good quality diesel fuel or automotive gas oil
(AGO) conforming to EN 590 specification.
It is important that the sulphur content of diesel fuel
does not exceed 0.3%.
Ensure the fuel filter element is changed at the
recommended intervals.

+ MAINTENANCE, MAINTENANCE, Fuel
Filter - Diesel.
Brake Fluid
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid. DO NOT use brake fluid
of a different specification.
PAS fluid
Use Texaco 9226 fluid.Anti-freeze solutions
The overall anti-freeze concentration should not fall,
by volume, below 50% to ensure that the anti-
corrosion properties of the coolant are maintained.
Anti-freeze concentrations greater than 60% are not
recommended as cooling efficiency will be impaired.
Use Havoline Extended Life Coolant (XLC), or any
ethylene glycol based anti-freeze (containing no
methanol) with only Organic Acid Technology (OAT)
corrosion inhibitors, to protect the cooling system.
CAUTION: No other anti-freeze should be used
with Havoline Extended Life Coolant.
The cooling system should be drained, flushed and
refilled with the correct amount of anti-freeze
solution at the intervals given on the Service
Maintenance Check Sheet.
After filling with anti-freeze solution, attach a warning
label to a prominent position on the vehicle stating
the type of anti-freeze contained in the cooling
system to ensure that the correct type is used for
topping-up.
The following recommended quantities of anti-freeze
will provide frost protection to -36 °C (-33 °F):
Engine – Td4
Engine – K1.8
Engine – KV6
