LIFTING AND TOWING
LIFTING
The following instructions must be carried out before
raising the vehicle off the ground.
lUse a solid level ground surface.
lApply hand brake.
lSelect 'P' (Automatic gearbox) or 1st gear
(Manual gearbox) in main gearbox.
lSelect Low range in transfer gearbox.
To avoid damage occurring to the under body
components of the vehicle the following jacking
procedures must be adhered to.
DO NOT POSITION JACKS OR AXLE STANDS
UNDER THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS:
lBody structure
lBumpers
lFuel lines
lBrake lines
lFront radius arms
lPanhard rod
lSteering linkage
lRear trailing arms
lFuel tank
lEngine sump
lGearbox bell housing
Vehicle jack
The jack provided with the vehicle is only intended for
use in an emergency, for changing a tyre. DO NOT
use the jack for any other purpose. Refer to Owner's
Handbook for vehicle jack location points and
procedure. Never work under a vehicle supported
solely by the vehicle jack.
Hydraulic jack
A hydraulic jack with a minimum 1500 kg, 3,300 lbs
load capacity must be used. Do not commence
work on the underside of the vehicle until
suitable axle stands have been positioned under
the axle.
WARNING: Always chock the wheels when
jacking. The hand brake acts on the
transmission, not the rear wheels, and may be
ineffective when the wheels are off the ground.Raising and supporting the vehicle
Position cup of hydraulic arm under differential
casing (1).The differential casing is not central to
the axle. Care should be taken when raising the
front road wheels off the ground as the rear axle
has less sway stiffness.
Raise vehicle to enable an axle stand to be installed
under left hand axle tube (2).
Position an axle stand under right hand axle tube (4).
Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on both
axle stands, remove jack.
Alternatively, the axle stands can be positioned
under the chassis longitudinals at the front and/or
rear of the vehicle.
Before commencing work on underside of vehicle re-
check security of vehicle on stands.
WARNING: Always chock the wheels when
jacking. The hand brake acts on the the
transmission, not the rear wheels, and may be
ineffective when the wheels are off the ground.

Reverse procedure when removing vehicle from
stands.
Hydraulic ramps
Use only a 'drive on' type ramp which supports a
vehicle by it's own road wheels. If a 'wheel free'
condition is required, use a 'drive on' ramp
incorporating a 'wheel free' system that supports
under axle casings. Alternatively, place vehicle on a
firm, flat floor and support on axle stands.
TOWING
Towing
The vehicle has permanent four wheel drive. The
following towing instructions must be adhered
to:
Towing on 4 wheels with driver
Turn ignition key to position '1' to release steering
lock.
Select neutral in main gearbox and transfer gearbox.
Secure tow rope, chain or cable to towing eye.
Release the handbrake.
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, the steering system will
require greater effort to turn the front road
wheels. The vehicle tow connection should be
used only in normal road conditions, 'snatch'
recovery should be avoided.Suspended tow
To prevent vehicle damage, front or rear
propeller shaft MUST BE removed, dependent
upon which axle is being trailed.
Mark propeller shaft drive flanges at transfer box and
axles with identification lines to enable the propeller
shaft to be refitted in its original position.
Remove the propeller shaft fixings, remove the shaft
from the vehicle.
If the front axle is to be trailed turn ignition key to
position '1' to release steering lock.
The steering wheel and/or linkage must be
secured in a straight ahead position. DO NOT use
the steering lock mechanism for this purpose.
Towing eyes
The towing eyes at the front and rear of the vehicle
are designed for vehicle recovery purposes only and
must NOT be used to tow a trailer or caravan.
Front:A single towing eye, set behind a removable
panel in the front spoiler. DO NOT use the front
lashing rings for towing.

LIFTING AND TOWING
08-3
Rear: A pair of towing eyes at the rear of the vehicle
can be used as lashing rings and for towing another
light vehicle.
TRANSPORTING
Transporting by trailer
Front lashing eyes
Rear lashing eyes
Lashing eyes are provided on the chassis
longitudinals, at the front (behind the front wheels)
and at the rear (behind the rear wheels).

LIFTING AND TOWING
08-4
DO NOT secure lashing hooks or trailer fixings to
any other part of the vehicle.
Position the vehicle on the trailer and apply the
handbrake. Select neutral in the manual gearbox ('N'
on automatic gearbox). Selecting 'N' will prevent
damage to the parking pawl in the automatic
gearbox.

12-1-34 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
A tapping towards the right hand side of the cylinder head diverts oil supply from the cast-in groove down to a stub
pipe which attaches to a feed line to the vacuum pump. An hydraulic tensioner is located below the vacuum stub pipe
which receives oil through a small hole in the side of the tensioner body to force a plunger against a plastic faced
adjuster shoe for timing chain tensioning. Oil from the vacuum pump is returned to a port in the timing chain cover via
a short hose which connects to stub pipes at both ends using spring clips.

24.Compare figures obtained with camshaft
bearing clearance:
lCamshaft bearing clearance = 0.04 to 0.10
mm (0.002 to 0.004 in)
25.If any bearing clearance is found to exceed
figures given, repeat the above procedures
using a new camshaft. If, after repeating the
clearance check using a new camshaft the
clearances are still excessive, a new cylinder
head and camshaft carrier assembly must be
fitted.
26.Remove all traces of Plastigage using an oily
cloth, do not use a scraper.
27.On completion, discard camshaft carrier bolts.
28.Check free length of valve springs:
lFree length = 46.75 to 47.25 mm (1.84 to
1.86 in)
29. Replace valve springs as a set, if springs
are to be refitted, keep them in their fitted
order.
30.Clean carbon from valves, check valves for
burning, pitting or cracking; replace as
necessary.
31.Clean carbon from valve seat inserts, remove
all loose particles on completion.
32.Check valve seat inserts for pitting and burning.
It is not permissible to recut or replace valve
seat inserts.
33.Remove carbon deposits from valve guides
using tool LRT-12-186 inserted from the
combustion chamber face side of cylinder
head. Ensure all loose particles of carbon are
removed on completion.
34.Check and record diameter of each valve stem:
lValve stem diameter - Inlet = 6.907 to 6.923
mm (0.2719 to 0.2725 in)
lValve stem diameter - Exhaust = 6.897 to
6.913 mm (0.2715 to 0.2721 in)35.Renew any valve if stem diameter is less than
specified.
36.Check and record valve stem to guide
clearance using the following procedures.
37.Insert each valve into its respective guide.
38.Extend valve head 10 mm (0.375 in) out of
valve seat and position a DTI gauge to rear of
valve head.
39.Move valve towards front of cylinder head and
zero DTI gauge ensuring that stylus of gauge
remains in contact with valve head.
40.Move valve towards rear of cylinder head,
record gauge reading to give valve stem to
guide clearance:
lInlet valve = 0.025 to 0.059 mm (0.0009 to
0.0023 in)
lExhaust valve = 0.035 to 0.069 mm (0.0013
to 0.0027 in)
41.If stem to guide clearance exceeds figures
given and valve stem diameters were as
specified, cylinder head assembly must be
replaced; it is not possible to replace valve
guides.
42.Repeat above procedures for remaining valves.
Keep valves in their fitted order.
43.Check face angle of each valve, renew any
valve with incorrect face angles, do not attempt
to recut.
lValve face angle - inlet = 29
° 48' ± 12'
lValve face angle - exhaust = 44
° 48' ± 12'
44.Lap each valve to its seat using grinding paste.
45.Apply Prussion Blue to valve seat, insert valve
into guide and press it firmly, without rotating
on to seat.
46.Remove valve and check that a continuous,
even line of Prussian Blue has been
transferred on to valve face. Note that line
does not have to be across whole width of
valve face.
47.Remove all traces of grinding paste on
completion.
48.Check valve head stand down using the
following procedures.
