Waste Management
One of the major ways that pollution can be reduced
is by the careful handling, storage and disposal of all
waste materials that occur on sites. Legislation
makes it illegal to dispose of waste materials other
than to licensed waste carriers and disposal sites.
This means that it is necessary to not only know what
the waste materials are, but also to have the
necessary documentation and licenses.
Handling and storage of waste
Ensure that waste materials are not poured down the
drain or onto soils. They should be stored in such a
way as to prevent the escape of the material to land,
water or air.
They must also be segregated into different types of
waste e.g. oil, metals, batteries, used vehicle
components. This will prevent any reaction between
different materials and assist in disposal.
Disposal of waste
Disposal of waste materials must only be to waste
carriers who are licensed to carry those particular
waste materials and all the necessary
documentation must be completed. The waste
carrier is responsible for ensuring that the waste is
taken to the correct disposal sites.Dispose of waste in accordance with the following
guidelines.
lFuel, hydraulic fluid, anti-freeze and oil: keep
separate and dispose of to specialist contractor.
lRefrigerant: collect in specialist equipment and
reuse.
lDetergents: safe to pour down the foul drain if
diluted.
lPaint, thinners: keep separate and dispose of
to specialist contractor.
lComponents: send back to supplier for
refurbishment, or disassemble and reuse any
suitable parts. Dispose of the remainder in
ordinary waste.
lSmall parts: reuse any suitable parts, dispose
of the remainder in ordinary waste.
lMetals: can be sold if kept separate from
general waste.
lTyres: keep separate and dispose of to
specialist contractor.
lPackaging: compact as much as possible and
dispose of in ordinary waste.
lAsbestos-containing: keep separate and
dispose of to specialist contractor.
lOily and fuel wastes (e.g. rags, used spill kit
material): keep separate and dispose of to
specialist contractor.
lAir filters: keep separate and dispose of to
specialist contractor.
lRubber/plastics: dispose of in ordinary waste.
lHoses: dispose of in ordinary waste.
lBatteries: keep separate and dispose of to
specialist contractor.
lAirbags - explosives: keep separate and
dispose of to specialist contractor.
lElectrical components: send back to supplier
for refurbishment, or disassemble and reuse
any suitable parts. Dispose of the remainder in
ordinary waste.
lElectronic components: send back to supplier
for refurbishment, or disassemble and reuse
any suitable parts. Dispose of the remainder in
ordinary waste.
lCatalysts: can be sold if kept separate from
general waste
lUsed spill-absorbing material: keep separate
and dispose of to specialist contractor.
lOffice waste: recycle paper and toner and ink
cartridges, dispose of the remainder in ordinary
waste.

Self-locking bolts and screws
Self-locking bolts and screws, i.e. nylon patched or
trilobular thread can be re-used providing resistance
can be felt when the locking portion enters the female
thread.
Nylon patched bolts and screws have a locking agent
pre-applied to the threads. They are identified by the
presence of a coloured section of thread which
extends for up to 180
° around the thread.
Trilobular bolts (i.e. Powerlok) have a special thread
form which creates a slight interference with the
thread of the hole or nut into which it is screwed.
DO NOT re-use self-locking fasteners in critical
locations (e.g. engine bearings, flywheel). Always
use the correct replacement self-locking nut, bolt or
screw.
DO NOT fit non self-locking fasteners in applications
where a self-locking nut, bolt or screw is specified.Nut identification
A nut with an ISO metric thread is marked on one
face or on one of the flats of the hexagon with the
strength grade symbol 8, 12, or 14. Some nuts with a
strength grade 4, 5 or 6 are also marked and some
have the metric symbol M on the flat opposite the
strength grade marking.
A clock face system is sometimes used as an
alternative method of indicating the strength grade.
The external chamfers or a face of the nut is marked
in a position relative to the appropriate hour mark on
a clock face to indicate the strength grade.
A dot is used to locate the 12 o'clock position and a
dash to indicate the strength grade. If the grade is
above 12, two dots identify the 12 o'clock position.
When tightening a slotted or castellated nut, never
loosen it to insert a split pin except where
recommended as part of an adjustment. If difficulty is
experienced, alternative washers or nuts should be
selected, or the washer thickness reduced.
Where bearing pre-load is involved, nuts should be
tightened in accordance with special instructions.

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.

Electrical Precautions
General
The following guidelines are intended to ensure the
safety of the operator while preventing damage to the
electrical and electronic components fitted to the
vehicle. Where necessary, specific precautions are
detailed in the individual procedures of this manual.
Equipment
Prior to commencing any test procedure on the
vehicle ensure that the relevant test equipment is
working correctly and any harness or connectors are
in good condition. It is particularly important to check
the condition of the lead and plugs of mains operated
equipment.
Polarity
Never reverse connect the vehicle battery and
always ensure the correct polarity when connecting
test equipment.
High voltage circuits
Whenever disconnecting live ht circuits always use
insulated pliers and never allow the open end of the
ht lead to contact other components, particularly
ECU's. Exercise caution when measuring the voltage
on the coil terminals while the engine is running, high
voltage spikes can occur on these terminals.
Connectors and harnesses
The engine compartment of a vehicle is a particularly
hostile environment for electrical components and
connectors:
lAlways ensure electrically related items are dry
and oil free before disconnecting and
connecting test equipment.
lEnsure disconnected multiplugs and sensors
are protected from being contaminated with oil,
coolant or other solutions. Contamination could
impair performance or result in catastrophic
failure.
lNever force connectors apart using tools to
prise apart or by pulling on the wiring harness.
lAlways ensure locking tabs are disengaged
before disconnection, and match orientation to
enable correct reconnection.
lEnsure that any protection (covers, insulation
etc.) is replaced if disturbed.Having confirmed a component to be faulty:
lSwitch off the ignition and disconnect the
battery.
lRemove the component and support the
disconnected harness.
lWhen replacing the component keep oily hands
away from electrical connection areas and push
connectors home until any locking tabs fully
engage.
Battery disconnection
Before disconnecting the battery, disable the alarm
system and switch off all electrical equipment. If the
radio is to be serviced, ensure the security code has
been deactivated.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical
components, always disconnect the battery
when working on the vehicle's electrical system.
The ground lead must be disconnected first and
reconnected last.
CAUTION: Always ensure that battery leads are
routed correctly and are not close to any
potential chafing points.
Battery charging
Only recharge the battery with it removed from the
vehicle. Always ensure any battery charging area is
well ventilated and that every precaution is taken to
avoid naked flames and sparks.
Ignition system safety precautions
The vehicle's ignition system produces high voltage
and the following precautions should be observed
before carrying out any work on the system.
WARNING: Before commencing work on an
ignition system, ensure all high tension
terminals, adapters and diagnostic equipment
are adequately insulated and shielded to prevent
accidental personal contacts and minimise the
risk of shock. Wearers of surgically implanted
pacemaker devices should not be in close
proximity of ignition circuits or diagnostic
equipment.
Disciplines
Switch off the ignition prior to making any connection
or disconnection in the system to prevent electrical
surges caused by disconnecting 'live' connections
damaging electronic components.
Ensure hands and work surfaces are clean and free
of grease, swarf, etc. Grease collects dirt which can
cause electrical tracking (short-circuits) or high-
resistance contacts.
When handling printed circuit boards, treat with care
and hold by the edges only; note that some electronic
components are susceptible to body static.

GENERAL INFORMATION
03-18
Connectors should never be subjected to forced
removal or refit, especially inter-board connectors.
Damaged contacts can cause short-circuit and open-
circuit fault conditions.
Prior to commencing test, and periodically during a
test, touch a good vehicle body earth to discharge
static charge. Some electronic components are
vulnerable to the static electricity that may be
generated by the operator.
Grease for electrical connectors
Some under bonnet and under body connectors may
be protected against corrosion by the application of a
special grease during vehicle production. Should
connectors be disturbed in service, repaired or
replaced, additional grease should be applied: Part
No. BAU 5811, available in 150 gm tubs.
NOTE: The use of greases other than BAU 5811
must be avoided as they can migrate into relays,
switches etc. contaminating the contacts and leading
to intermittent operation or failure.
Supplementary Restraint System
Precautions
General
The Supplementary Restraint System (SRS)
provides active protection for vehicle occupants in
the event of a serious collision. The system
components include airbags and pretensioner seat
belts which are automatically deployed when a
severe frontal crash condition is detected.
In order to assure system integrity, it is essential that
the SRS system is regularly checked and maintained
so that it is ready for operation in the event of an
accident.
The SRS system contains components which could
be potentially hazardous to the service engineer if
not serviced and handled correctly. The following
guidelines are intended to alert the service engineer
to potential sources of danger and emphasise the
importance of ensuring integrity of the SRS
components fitted to the vehicle.
Where necessary, additional specific precautions are
detailed in the Restraint Systems section of this
Manual which should be referred to prior to
commencing repair operations.
It should be noted that these precautions are not
restricted to operations performed when servicing
the SRS system. The same care should be exercised
when working on ancillary systems and components
located in the vicinity of SRS components; these
include but are not limited to steering system (driver's
airbag), body and trim components (passenger's
airbag and seat belt pretensioners) and electrical
system components (SRS harnesses etc.).

GENERAL INFORMATION

Air Conditioning System Precautions
General
The air conditioning system contains fluids and
components which could be potentially hazardous to
the service engineer or the environment if not
serviced and handled correctly. The following
guidelines are intended to alert the service engineer
to potential sources of danger and emphasise the
importance of ensuring the integrity of the Air
Conditioning operating conditions and components
fitted to the vehicle.
Where necessary, additional specific precautions are
detailed in the relevant sections of this Manual which
should be referred to prior to commencing repair
operations.
The refrigerant used in the air conditioning system is
HFC-134a (Hydrofluorocarbon) R134a.
WARNING: Servicing must only be carried out by
personnel familiar with both the vehicle system
and the charging and testing equipment. All
operations must be carried out in a well
ventilated area away from open flame and heat
sources.
WARNING: R134a is a hazardous liquid and when
handled incorrectly can cause serious injury.
Suitable protective clothing, consisting of face
protection, heat proof gloves, rubber boots and
rubber apron or waterproof overalls, must be
worn when carrying out operations on the air
conditioning system.
Remedial actions
If an accident involving R134a should occur, conduct
the following remedial actions:
lIf liquid R134a enters the eye, do not rub it.
Gently run large quantities of eye wash over
affected eye to raise the temperature. If an eye
wash is not available, cool, clean water may be
used to flush the eye. After rinsing, cover the
eye with a clean pad and seek immediate
medical attention.lIf liquid R134a is splashed onto the skin, run
large quantities of water over the affected area
to raise the temperature. Implement the same
action if the skin comes in contact with
discharging cylinders. Wrap the contaminated
body parts in blankets (or similar materials) and
seek immediate medical attention.
lIf the debilitating effects of inhalation of R134a
vapour is suspected, seek fresh air. If the
affected person is unconscious, move them
away from the contaminated area to fresh air
and apply artificial respiration and/or oxygen
and seek immediate medical attention.
WARNING: Due to its low evaporating
temperature, R134a must be handled with care.
R134a splashed on any part of the body will
cause immediate freezing of that area. Also,
refrigerant cylinders and replenishment trolleys
when discharging will freeze skin to them if
contact is made.
Service precautions
Observe the following precautions when handling
components used in the air conditioning system:
lAir conditioning units must not be lifted by their
hoses, pipes or capillary lines.
lHoses and lines must not be subjected to any
twist or stress; the efficiency of the system will
be impaired by kinks or restrictions. Ensure that
hoses are correctly positioned before tightening
couplings, and ensure that all clips and supports
are utilised.
lFlexible hoses should not be positioned close to
the exhaust manifold (less than 100mm) unless
protected by heat shielding.
lCompleted assemblies must be checked for
refrigeration lines touching metal panels. Any
direct contact of components and panels may
transmit noise and so must be eliminated.
lThe appropriate torque wrench must be used
when tightening refrigerant connections to the
stipulated value. An additional spanner must be
used to hold the union to prevent twisting of the
pipe when tightening connections.
lBefore connecting any hose or pipe, ensure that
refrigerant oil is applied to the seat of the new 'O'
rings, BUT NOT to the threads of the
connection.
lAll protective plugs must remain in place to seal
the component until immediately prior to
connection.
lEnsure components are at room temperature
before uncapping, to prevent condensation of
moisture from the air that enters it.

GENERAL INFORMATION
03-27
Body repairs often involve the removal of mechanical
and electrical units and associated wiring. Where
necessary, refer to the relevant section of the
Workshop Manual for removal and refitting
instructions.
Taking into consideration the differences in body
styles, suspension systems and engine and
transmission layouts, the location of the following
components as applicable to a particular vehicle is
critical:
lFront suspension upper damper mountings on
RH and LH chassis longitudinals.
lFront suspension or sub frame mountings.
lEngine mountings on RH and LH chassis
longitudinals.
lRear suspension upper damper mountings on
RH and LH chassis longitudinals.
lRear suspension mountings or lower pivots.
Additional points which can be used to check
alignment and assembly are:
lInner holes in cross member - side - main floor.
lHoles in front bulkhead.
lHoles in rear longitudinals.
lHoles in rear lower panels.
Apertures for windscreen, rear screen, bonnet and
doors can be measured and checked using the
dimensional information provided and also by
offering up an undamaged component as a gauge.
Straightening
Whenever possible, structural members should be
cold straightened under tension. Do not attempt to
straighten with a single pull but rework the damaged
area using a series of pulls, releasing tension
between each stage and using the opportunity to
check alignment.
Body jig
Unless damage is limited to cosmetic panels, all
repair work to body members must be carried out on
a body jig, to ensure that impact damage has not
spread into more remote parts of the structure.
Mounting on a jig will also ensure that the
straightening and panel replacement procedures do
not cause further distortion.
If original dimensions cannot be satisfactorily
restored by these methods, damaged structural
members should be replaced. Damaged areas
should be cut away using a high speed saw, NOT an
oxy-acetylene torch.
As a rule, body dimensions are symmetrical about
the centre line. A good initial check for distortion is
therefore to measure diagonally and to investigate
apparent differences in dimensions.Inspection
Every accident produces individual variations in
damage. Each repair is influenced by the extent of
the damage and the facilities and equipment
available for its rectification.
Most accident damage can be visually inspected and
the approximate extent of damage assessed.
Sometimes deformation will extend beyond the
directly damaged area, and the severity of this must
be accurately established so that steps can be taken
to restore critical body components to their original
dimensions. An initial check can be carried out by
means of drop checks or, preferably, trammels.
Gauges are available which will accurately check for
body twist.
