Alarm Handset Battery
Replace
1.Insert the blade of a small, flat bladed
screwdriver into the slot at the keyring end of
the handset and carefully prise the two halves
of the handset apart.
2.Slide the battery out of the clip taking care not
to touch the circuit board or the battery
contacts.
3.Press and hold each button in turn for at least 5
seconds to drain any residual power from the
handset.
4.Fit the replacement battery (Land Rover
STC4080 or Panasonic CR2032) ensuring the
correct polarity is maintained (+) side facing
upwards. Avoid touching the flat surfaces of the
battery.
5.Press the 2 halves of the handset together,
making sure the two halves click into place
correctly.
6.Check the operation of the handset.
Road Wheels
Remove
1.Loosen wheel nuts. Raise vehicle for wheel
free condition and remove the wheel nuts.
2.Mark the wheel to stud relationship to ensure
that the wheels are refitted in the same
orientation.
Refit
1.Apply a thin coat of anti-seize compound to
wheel hub centre.
2.Refit wheels to original hub position.
NOTE: When refitting road wheel nuts, do not
overtighten using powered tools. Ensure the
wheel nuts are correctly torqued in the correct
sequence.
3.Tighten wheel nuts to 115 Nm (85 lbf.ft).

NOTE: Following front or rear timing belt
refitment, it is possible that, after rotating the
engine and positioning the crankshaft pulley to
the 'SAFE' position, the timing marks on the
rear timing gears may be misaligned. This
misalignment is acceptable provided that the
timing belt refitting procedure was carried out
correctly.
1.Clean camshaft gears and hubs, crankshaft
gear, tensioner and water pump pulleys.
CAUTION: If the sintered gears have been
subjected to prolonged oil contamination,
they must be soaked in a solvent bath and
then thoroughly washed in clean solvent
before refitting. Because of the porous
construction of sintered material, oil
impregnated in the gears will emerge and
contaminate the belt.
2.Fit hubs to camshaft gears and fit gears to
camshafts. Fit new bolts and tighten sufficiently
to allow gears to rotate without tipping.
3.Position timing belt to crankshaft gear.
NOTE: To prevent the timing belt from
disengaging from the crankshaft gear when
fitting, fit a suitable wedge between the belt and
oil pump belt guard.
4.Fit tool LRT-12-197 into each exhaust
camshaft in turn.5.Using assistance, rotate each exhaust
camshaft slightly and align timing marks on LH
and RH rear camshaft gears.
6.Remove tool LRT-12-197 from exhaust
camshaft.
7.Fit tools LRT-12-175 to LH and RH rear
camshaft gears.
8.Rotate both front inlet camshaft gears fully
clockwise as viewed from front of engine.
9.Using fingers only, fit timing belt to gears,
starting at the crankshaft gear and working in
an anti-clockwise direction, keeping the belt run
as taut as possible and turning the camshaft
gears only a minimum amount anti-clockwise to
fit timing belt.
CAUTION: Gears must not be rotated anti-
clockwise more than one tooth.
10.Position an Allen key in tensioner backplate
and hold tensioner pulley against timing belt.

OVERHAUL 12-3-113
11.Position an Allen key in tensioner backplate
and hold tensioner pulley against timing belt.
12.With assistance, position timing belt tensioner,
fit new Patchlok bolts and tighten to 25 Nm (18

CAUTION: Ensure tensioner plunger is
contacting underside of tensioner
backplate.
13.Remove tools LRT-12-175 from rear timing belt
gears.
14.Fit tools LRT-12-196 to both front inlet
camshaft gears and into the end of each
exhaust camshaft.
CAUTION: Special tools must be fitted when
tightening or loosening gear retaining bolts,
otherwise damage to camshafts may occur.
15.Tighten front inlet camshaft gear bolts to:
lStage 1 - 27 Nm (20 lbf.ft)
lStage 2 - Further 90°
16.Remove tools LRT-12-196 from both inlet
camshaft gears and exhaust camshafts.17.Remove wedge from between drive belt and oil
pump belt guard.
18.Remove 1.5 mm diameter pin from tensioner.
19.Clean exhaust camshaft front cap seal
locations and fit new cap seals.
CAUTION: The sealing edge of the cap seal
and mating face must be clean and dry.

manoeuvre plate into position; fit bolts but do
not tighten at this stage.
21.Fit bolts securing IRD support bracket to front
mounting plate; do not tighten bolts at this
stage.

lBolts Nos. 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 - 85 Nm (63 lbf.ft)
23.Position engine lifting bracket, fit bolts securing
lifting bracket and front mounting plate to
cylinder block and RH cylinder head and
tighten to:
lM8 bolt - 25 Nm (18 lbf.ft)
lM10 bolts - 45 Nm (33 lbf.ft)
24.Fit rubber blanking plug around tensioner.
25.Clean end of dipstick tube.
