ENGINE - V8
12-2-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
The V8 petrol engine is an eight cylinder, water cooled unit having two banks of four cylinders positioned at 90 degrees
to each other. The engine comprises five main castings - two cylinder heads, cylinder block, timing cover and the oil
sump, all of which are manufactured from aluminium alloy.
NAS market vehicles from 03 model year receive a 4.6 litre version of the V8 engine to replace the previous 4.0 litre
version.
Cylinder heads
The cylinder heads are fitted with replaceable valve guides and valve seat inserts with the combustion chambers
formed in the head. Each cylinder head is sealed to the cylinder block with a gasket. The exhaust manifolds are bolted
to the outside of each cylinder head whilst the inlet manifolds are located in the centre of the 'Vee' and are bolted to
the inside face of each head. Inlet and exhaust manifolds are sealed to the cylinder heads by means of gaskets.
Each cylinder has a single inlet and exhaust valve. The exhaust valves are of the 'carbon break' type, a recess on the
valve stem prevents a build-up of carbon in the valve guide by dislodging particles of carbon as the valve stem moves
up and down the guide. Inlet and exhaust valve stem oil seals are fitted at the top of each valve guide. Valve operation
is by means of rocker arms, push rods and hydraulic tappets. Each of the rocker arms is located on a rocker shaft
which is supported by means of pedestals bolted to the cylinder heads. A spring, positioned on either side of each
rocker arm, maintains the correct relative position of the arm to its valve stem. The rocker arms are operated directly
by the push rods which pass through drillings in the cylinder heads and cylinder block. The bottom end of each push
rod locates in a hydraulic tappet operated by the single, chain driven camshaft.
The rocker covers are bolted to the cylinder heads and are sealed to the heads by a rubber gasket. Stub pipes for
crankcase ventilation hose connections are fitted to each rocker cover, the pipe in the right hand cover incorporates
an oil separator. The engine oil filler cap is situated in the right hand cover.
Cylinder block and camshaft
The cylinder block is fitted with cast iron cylinder liners which are shrink fitted and locate on stops in the block. The
camshaft is positioned in the centre of the cylinder block and runs in one piece bearing shells which are line bored
after fitting. Camshaft end-float is controlled by a thrust plate bolted to the front of the cylinder block. A timing gear,
chain driven by the crankshaft timing gear is bolted to the front of the camshaft.
Crankshaft and main bearings
The crankshaft is carried in five main bearings. The upper main bearing shell locations are an integral part of the
cylinder block casting. The lower main bearing caps are bolted to the cylinder block on either side of the upper bearing
shell locations with an additional bolt being inserted into each cap from either side of the cylinder block. The rear
main bearing cap carries the crankshaft rear oil seal and is sealed to the cylinder block by means of cruciform shaped
seals in each side of the cap. Number four main bearing cap carries the stud fixing for the oil pick-up pipe. Lower
main bearing shells are plain whilst the upper shells have an oil feed hole and are grooved. Crankshaft end-float is
controlled by the thrust faces of the upper centre shell. The crankshaft timing gear is located on the front of the
crankshaft by means of a Woodruff key which is also used to drive the gear type oil pump. The flywheel/drive plate
carries the crankshaft position sensor reluctor ring and is dowel located and bolted to the flywheel.
Timing cover
The timing cover is bolted to the front of the cylinder block and is sealed to the block with a gasket. The disposable,
full flow oil filter canister is screwed on to the timing cover which also carries the oil pressure switch, oil pressure relief
valve and crankshaft front oil seal. The gear type oil pump is integral with the cover which also has an internal oilway
to direct oil from the oil cooler to the filter.
NOTE: Oil coolers are only fitted to vehicles up to VIN 756821.

EMISSION CONTROL - TD5
17-1-4 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Emission Control Systems
Engine design has evolved in order to minimise the emission of harmful by-products. Emission control systems fitted
to Land Rover vehicles are designed to maintain the emission levels within the legal limits pertaining for the specified
market.
Despite the utilisation of specialised emission control equipment, it is still necessary to ensure that the engine is
correctly maintained and is in good mechanical order, so that it operates at its optimum condition.
In addition to emissions improvements through engine design and the application of electronic engine management
systems, special emission control systems are used to limit the pollutant levels developed under certain conditions.
Two main types of additional emission control system are utilised with the Td5 engine to reduce the levels of harmful
emissions released into the atmosphere. These are as follows:
1Crankcase emission control – also known as blow-by gas emissions from the engine crankcase.
2Exhaust gas recirculation – to reduce NO
2 emissions.
Crankcase emission control
All internal combustion engines generate oil vapour and smoke in the crankcase as a result of high crankcase
temperatures and piston ring and valve stem blow-by, a closed crankcase ventilation system is used to vent
crankcase gases back to the air induction system and so reduce the emission of hydrocarbons.
Gases from the crankcase are drawn into the inlet manifold to be burnt in the combustion chambers with the fresh air/
fuel mixture. The system provides effective emission control under all engine operating conditions.
Crankcase gases are drawn through the breather port in the top of the camshaft cover and routed through the breather
hose and breather valve on the flexible air intake duct to be drawn into the turbocharger intake for delivery to the air
inlet manifold via an intercooler.
An oil separator plate is included in the camshaft cover which removes the heavy particles of oil before the crankcase
gas leaves via the camshaft cover port. The rocker cover features circular chambers which promote swirl in the oil
mist emanating from the cylinder head and camshaft carrier. As the mist passes through the series of chambers
between the rocker cover and oil separator plate, oil particles are thrown against the separator walls where they
condense and fall back into the cylinder head via two air inlet holes located at each end of the rocker cover.
The breather valve is a depression limiting valve which progressively closes as engine speed increases, thereby
limiting the depression in the crankcase. The valve is of moulded plastic construction and has a port on the underside
which plugs into a port in the flexible air intake duct. A port on the side of the breather valve connects to the camshaft
cover port by means of a breather hose which is constructed from a heavy-duty braided rubber hose which is held in
place by hose clips. A corrugated plastic sleeve is used to give further protection to the breather hose. The breather
valve is orientation sensitive, and “TOP” is marked on the upper surface to ensure it is mounted correctly.
It is important that the system is airtight so hose connections to ports should be checked and the condition of the
breather hose should be periodically inspected to ensure it is in good condition.

EMISSION CONTROL - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-2-9
Emission Control Systems
Engine design has evolved in order to minimise the emission of harmful by-products. Emission control systems are
fitted to Land Rover vehicles which are designed to maintain the emission levels within the legal limits pertaining for
the specified market.
Despite the utilisation of specialised emission control equipment, it is still necessary to ensure that the engine is
correctly maintained and is in good mechanical order so that it operates at its optimal condition. In particular, ignition
timing has an effect on the production of HC and NO
x emissions, with the harmful emissions rising as the ignition
timing is advanced.
CAUTION: In many countries it is against the law for a vehicle owner or an unauthorised dealer to modify or
tamper with emission control equipment. In some cases, the vehicle owner and/or the dealer may even be
liable for prosecution.
The engine management ECM is fundamental for controlling the emission control systems. In addition to controlling
normal operation, the system complies with On Board Diagnostic (OBD) system strategies. The system monitors and
reports on faults detected with ignition, fuelling and exhaust systems which cause an excessive increase in tailpipe
emissions. This includes component failures, engine misfire, catalyst damage, catalyst efficiency, fuel evaporative
loss and exhaust leaks.
When an emission relevant fault is determined, the fault condition is stored in the ECM memory. For NAS vehicles,
the MIL warning light on the instrument pack will be illuminated when the fault is confirmed. Confirmation of a fault
condition occurs if the fault is still found to be present during the driving cycle subsequent to the one when the fault
was first detected.

+ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description - engine
management.
The following types of supplementary control system are used to reduce harmful emissions released into the
atmosphere from the vehicle:
1Crankcase emission control – also known as blow-by gas emissions from the engine crankcase.
2Exhaust emission control – to limit the undesirable by-products of combustion.
3Fuel vapour evaporative loss control – to restrict the emission of fuel through evaporation from the fuel
system.
4Fuel leak detection system (NAS only) – there are two types of system which may be used to check the
evaporative emission system for the presence of leaks from the fuel tank to purge valve.
aVacuum leak detection test – checks for leaks down to 1 mm (0.04 in.) in diameter.
bPositive pressure leak detection test – utilises a leak detection pump to check for leaks down to 0.5 mm (0.02
in.) in diameter.
5Secondary air injection system (NAS only) – to reduce emissions experienced during cold starting.
Crankcase emission control system
The concentration of hydrocarbons in the crankcase of an engine is much greater than that in the vehicle's exhaust
system. In order to prevent the emission of these hydrocarbons into the atmosphere, crankcase emission control
systems are employed and are a standard legal requirement.
The crankcase ventilation system is an integral part of the air supply to the engine combustion chambers and it is
often overlooked when diagnosing problems associated with engine performance. A blocked ventilation pipe or filter
or excessive air leak into the inlet system through a damaged pipe or a leaking gasket can affect the air:fuel mixture,
performance and efficiency of the engine. Periodically check the ventilation hoses are not cracked and that they are
securely fitted to form airtight connections at their relevant ports.
The purpose of the crankcase ventilation system is to ensure that any noxious gas generated in the engine crankcase
is rendered harmless by complete burning of the fuel in the combustion chamber. Burning the crankcase vapours in
a controlled manner decreases the HC pollutants that could be emitted and helps to prevent the development of
sludge in the engine oil as well as increasing fuel economy.

EMISSION CONTROL - V8
17-2-28 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The SAI pump is attached to a bracket at the rear RH side of the engine compartment and is fixed to the bracket by
three studs and nuts. The pump is electrically powered from a 12V battery supply via a dedicated relay and supplies
approximately 35kg/hr of air when the vehicle is at idle in Neutral/Park on a start from 20
°C (68°F).
Air is drawn into the pump through vents in its front cover and is then passed through a foam filter to remove
particulates before air injection. The air is delivered to the exhaust manifold on each side of the engine through a
combination of plastic and metal pipes.
The air delivery pipe is a flexible plastic type, and is connected to the air pump outlet via a plastic quick-fit connector.
The other end of the flexible plastic pipe connects to the fixed metal pipework via a short rubber hose. The part of the
flexible plastic pipe which is most vulnerable to engine generated heat is protected by heat reflective sleeving. The
metal delivery pipe has a fabricated T-piece included where the pressurised air is split for delivery to each exhaust
manifold via the SAI control valves.
The pipes from the T-piece to each of the SAI control valves are approximately the same length, so that the pressure
and mass of the air delivered to each bank will be equal. The ends of the pipes are connected to the inlet port of each
SAI control valve through short rubber hose connections.
The T-piece is mounted at the rear of the engine (by the ignition coils) and features a welded mounting bracket which
is fixed to the engine by two studs and nuts.
The foam filter in the air intake of the SAI pump provides noise reduction and protects the pump from damage due to
particulate contamination. In addition, the pump is fitted on rubber mountings to help prevent noise which is generated
by pump operation from being transmitted through the vehicle body into the passenger compartment.
If the secondary air injection pump malfunctions, the following fault codes may be stored in the ECM diagnostic
memory, which can be retrieved using 'Testbook':
Secondary air injection (SAI) pump relay
The secondary air injection pump relay is located in the engine compartment fusebox. The engine control module
(ECM) is used to control the operation of the SAI pump via the SAI pump relay. Power to the coil of the relay is supplied
from the vehicle battery via the main relay and the ground connection to the coil is via the ECM.
Power to the SAI pump relay contacts is via fusible link FL2 which is located in the engine compartment fusebox.

Connector 5 (C0638): This connector contains 9 pins and is used to control the ignition system. The ignition coils are
supplied with power and a switching earth completes the circuit.
Pin out details connector C0638
Crankshaft speed and Position (CKP) sensor (C0168)
The CKP sensor is located towards the rear of the engine below cylinder number 7, with its tip adjacent to the outer
circumference of the flywheel. The CKP sensor is the most important sensor on the vehicle and without its signal the
engine will not run. The signal produced by the CKP sensor allows the ECM to determine crankshaft angle and speed
of rotation. The ECM uses this information to calculate ignition timing and fuel injection timing.
The CKP sensor works as a variable reluctance sensor. It uses an electromagnet and a reluctor ring to generate a
signal. As the reluctor ring passes the tip of the CKP sensor the magnetic field produced by the sensor is cut and then
re-instated. The ECM measures the signal as an ac voltage.
The output voltage varies in proportion to engine speed. The reluctor ring has a set tooth pattern, 60 teeth are spaced
at 6
° intervals and are 3° wide, two teeth are removed to provide a reference mark at 60° BTDC for number 1 cylinder.
There is no back up strategy or limp home facility if this sensor fails, the engine does not run.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-46 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Idle speed control
The ECM regulates the engine speed at idling. The ECM uses the idle air control valve (IACV) to compensate for the
idle speed drop that occurs when the engine is placed under greater load than usual. When the throttle is in the rest
position i.e. it has not been pressed, the majority of intake air that the engine consumes comes from the idle air control
valve.
IACV control idle speed
Conditions in which the ECM operates the IACV control idle speed is as follows:
lIf any automatic transmission gears other than P or N are selected.
lIf air conditioning is switched on.
lIf cooling fans are switched on.
lAny electrical loads activated by the driver.
Function
The idle air control valve utilises two coils that use opposing pulse width modulated (PWM) signals to control the
position of a rotary valve. If one of the circuits that supplies the PWM signal fails, the ECM closes down the remaining
signal preventing the idle air control valve from working at its maximum/ minimum setting. If this should occur, the idle
air control valve assumes a default idle position at which the engine idle speed is raised to 1200 rev/min with no load
placed on the engine.
Evaporative emission control
Due to increasing legislation, all new vehicles must be able to limit evaporative emissions (fuel vapour) from the fuel
tank.
The ECM controls the emission control system using the following components:
lEVAP canister.
lPurge valve.
lCanister vent solenoid (CVS) valve – (NAS vehicles with vacuum type EVAP system leak detection capability
only)
lFuel tank pressure sensor – (NAS vehicles with vacuum type EVAP system leak detection capability only)
lFuel leak detection pump – (NAS vehicles with positive pressure type EVAP system leak detection capability
only)
lInterconnecting pipe work.
Refer to Emissions section for operating conditions of evaporative emission systems.

+ EMISSION CONTROL - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Evaporative emission control operation.
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) - North American Specification vehicles only
The ECM monitors performance of the engine for misfires, catalyst efficiency, exhaust leaks and evaporative control
loss. If a fault occurs, the ECM stores the relevant fault code and warns the driver of component failure by illuminating
the Malfunction Indicator Light in the instrument pack.
On vehicles fitted with automatic gearbox, the ECM combines with the Electronic Automatic Transmission (EAT) ECU
to provide the OBD strategy.
Conditions
If the OBD function of the ECM flags a fault during its operation, it falls into one of the following categories:
lmin = minimum value of the signal exceeded.
lmax = maximum value of the signal exceeded.
lsignal = signal not present.
lplaus = an implausible condition has been diagnosed.

FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - TD5
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 19-1-5
The fuel pump is a 'self priming', wet type, two stage pump which is immersed in fuel in the tank and operates at all
times when the ignition switch is in position II. If the engine is not started, the ECU will 'time-out' after three minutes
and de-energise the fuel pump relay. The pump receives a feed from the battery via fuse 10 in the engine
compartment fusebox and the fuel pump relay. The relay is energised by the ECM when the ignition switch is moved
to position II.
The fuel pump assembly is retained with a locking ring and sealed with a rubber seal. The locking ring requires a
special tool for removal and refitment. An access panel for the fuel pump is located in the loadspace floor below the
carpet. The access panel is sealed to the floor with a rubber seal and retained by six self-tapping screws. A four pin
electrical connector is located on the top cover and provides power feed and earth for the fuel pump and also inputs
and outputs for the fuel gauge sender operation.
The fuel gauge sender is integral with the fuel pump. The sender is submerged in the fuel and is operated by a float
which moves with the fuel level in the tank.
Fuel pump
The fuel pump assembly comprises a top cover which locates the electrical connector, fuel burning heater connection
and four fuel pipe couplings. The top cover is attached to a plastic cup shaped housing and retained on three sliding
clips. Two coil springs are located between the cover and the housing and ensure that the fuel pump remains seated
positively at the bottom of the tank when installed.
The housing locates the two stage fuel pump and also the fuel gauge sender unit. The lower part of the housing is the
swirl pot which maintains a constant level of fuel at the fuel pick-up. A coarse filter is located in the base of the housing
and prevents the ingress of contaminants into the pump and the fuel system from the fuel being drawn into the pump.
A fine filter is located in the intake to the low pressure stage to protect the pump from contaminants. Flexible pipes
connect the couplings on the top cover to the pump.
A non-return valve is located in the base of the housing. When the fuel tank is full, fuel pressure keeps the valve lifted
from its seat allowing fuel to flow into the swirl pot. As the tank level reduces, the fuel pressure in the tank reduces
causing the valve to close. When the valve is closed fuel is retained in the swirl pot, ensuring that the swirl pot remains
full and maintains a constant supply to the fuel pump.
The two stage pump comprises a high and a low pressure stage. The low pressure stage draws fuel from the swirl
pot through the filter. The low pressure stage pumps fluid at a pressure of 0.75 bar (10.9 lbf.in
2) and a flow of 30 litres/
hour (8 US Gallons/hour) to the fuel filter. A proportion of the fuel from the low pressure stage also passes, via a
restrictor, through a jet pump which keeps fuel circulating in the swirl pot. The high pressure stage draws the low
pressure fuel from the fuel filter and pressurises it to a pressure of 4.0 bar (58 lbf.in
2). The pressurised fuel is then
passed from the pump to the injectors at a flow of 180 litres/hour (47.6 US Gallons/hour). A fuel pressure regulator is
located at the rear of the engine and ensures that the delivery pressure remains at 4.0 bar (58 lbf.in
2) by controlling
the amount of fuel returning to the fuel tank.
The fuel pump has a maximum current draw of 15 Amps at 12.5 V and is protected by a 20 Amp fuse in the engine
compartment fusebox.
