Injector Service Information
CAUTION: This t ype of inject or contai ns a hydraulic chamber. It is important that t he inject or is handled correct ly t oprevent the hydrauli c chamber from emptying. The i nject or is t o be capped and maint ained in an upri ght pos it ion, andmus t not be laid on t he si de or s haken.
Do not att empt t o remove carbon depos it s from t he dies el inject or nozzle.
The inject or is s upplied as a complete ass embly. The ori ginal inject or mus t not be separated.
• NOTE: The TD4 engine cyli nders are numbered from t he rear of t he engi ne (t rans mi ssi on end). Therefore, No. 1 cyli nderand No. 1 i nject or are l ocat ed at the rear of the engine.
A new copper washer mus t be ins t al led and t he old washer dis carded, whenever an inject or i s removed from t he cyl inderhead. The i njector cent eri ng ri ng may be re-us ed.
If an inject or i s removed, the injector mus t be i nst all ed to the original cyl inder, and does not require re-programming i ntot he ECM.
If an inject or i s renewed, the new inject or 10-digit code and corres pondi ng cyl inder number mus t be programmed i nto theECM, usi ng t he Land Rover approved di agnos ti c s yst em.
If the ECM is renewed, all 4 injector 10-di git codes and corres ponding cyli nder numbers must be programmed into the newECM, usi ng t he Land Rover approved di agnos ti c s yst em.

This publi cat ion s ets out , for t he benefit of dealers / ret ailers worl dwide, requirement s for the care and maint enance ofbatt eri es , from the vehicles hand-over to the dealer / retail er to the handover t o the cus t omer or i n t he cas e of a sparepart batt ery from i s delivery to the dealer / retail er to it s fi tment t o a cus tomer vehicle.
It appl ies t o all t ypes of 12 volt Lead Acid Bat teries us ed, whet her they are convent ional fl ooded t echnology or Abs orbedGlas s Mat (AGM) technol ogy and als o applies to bot h Pri mary and Secondary or Auxi li ary Bat teri es.
The clearl y lai d out and ill ust rat ed s ect ions guide dealers / ret ail ers t hrough each st age of the vehicl es or s pare partsreceipt , st orage, pre-del ivery and cus tomer hand-over. This publi cat ion can be us ed as a gui de to the handli ng and care ofbatt eri es in s ervi ce. It is vi tal t o appreci ate that unles s each proces s i s ri gorousl y appl ied on al l vehi cl es, t he cust omer wil lreceive a vehicl e wit h a bat tery or a s pare part bat t ery which will not provide a s at is fact ory s ervi ce life.
It is very import ant that all t est s quoted throughout this publ icat ion are adhered to. If t hey are appli ed incorrect lybatt eri es could be s crapped unneces s ari ly. Refer to the bat tery tes t ing s ect ion for detail ed informat ion.
It is equally important therefore to not e t he fol lowing key point s :
Mos t new vehi cl es leave t he factory wi th ei ther a t rans it relay i ns t alled and/or have a trans it mode programmedint o t he vehi cl e cont rol modules . The t rans it rel ay mus t be removed and t he t rans it mode di sabled (whereappl icable) us ing an approved diagnost ic sys tem, NOT MO RE T HAN 24 HOURS before t he cust omer t akes deli very.12 Volt Lead Acid Bat teries rely on i nternal chemical proces s es to create a vol tage and deli ver current. Theseprocess es and t he int ernal chemi cal s truct ure of the bat tery can be damaged i f the bat tery is allowed t o di schargeover a number of weeks / months , or is left i n a di scharged s t at e for a lengt hy ti me peri od. For t hi s reas on t hebatt ery mus t be t es ted / re-charged i f neces sary every mont h, and MUST BE re-charged after every t hree mont hperi od of st orage. Refer to the vehicle st orage manual and updat e t he vehi cl e his t ory s heet.Under no ci rcums tances should the bat tery be dis connected wit h the engi ne running becaus e under thes e condi ti onst he alt ernator can give a very high output volt age. This hi gh t rans ient vol tage wi ll damage t he electroni ccomponents in t he vehicle. Loos e or i ncompl et e bat tery connect ions may al s o caus e high transi ent volt age.On vehicles wi th conventi onal ignit ion keys , thes e mus t not be left in t he i gni ti on lock barrel when the t rans it relayhas been removed, ot herwi se qui escent current wi ll increas e and t he bat t ery wi ll discharge more rapi dl y.Two t ypes of Lead acid bat teri es are us ed; s tandard Fl ooded t ype and AGM (Absorbed Glas s Mat) or VRLA (Valveregulat ed Lead Aci d) types. AGM batt eries offer i mproved res is t ance t o cycl ing as seen i n s top st art appli cat ions .AGM Bat teries are ful ly s ealed and cannot have t he electrolyte level t opped up.
Dealers and retailers involved in the storage, handling of vehicles and spare parts batteries have a responsibility toensure that only vehicles and spare parts having a fully satisfactory battery may be processed further through thedistribution selling chain.
• NOTE: It is very important that t est proces s es quot ed t hroughout t hi s publicati on are adhered to.
If they are not adhered t o correct ly bat teries could be scrapped unneces saril y or a batt ery wit h an is s ue remains in use.Refer t o t he bat t ery t est ing s ecti on for detai led i nformat ion.
2. GENERAL RULES FOR BATTERY CARE
Frequency of Battery Cond ition Checks.
Any batt ery i n s torage whether it i s in a vehi cle or i n s pare part s i nventory mus t have it s charge s tat us checked every 30days as des cri bed in Appendix A, and mus t be recharged every 90 days as des cribed i n t he "Bat tery Charging andMaint enance" secti on of thi s manual.
Dealer Demonstration Vehicles

Due t o t he high depth of di scharge a deal er demons trati on vehi cl e batt ery may experience, bat teri es t hat are fi tt ed t ovehi cl es us ed as deal er demons trati on vehi cl es mus t be connected t o a power s upply / charger capable of deli vering 50Amps or more whil st the vehicle is being demons trated and t he engine i s not running. Thi s wi ll prevent the bat tery frombeing damaged from "energy t hroughput " wear out during a demons t rat ion.
Software Reflash, SDD work or Ig nition On related Workshop Activities.
Due t o t he high elect rical current demand and high dept h of Dis charge that can occur duri ng vehi cl e s oft ware re-flas hact ivi ti es , SDD work or igni ti on on rel at ed work in the workshop, vehi cl es that are undergoi ng s uch act ivit ies MUST havet he elect rical s ys tem on t he vehi cl e s upported wi th a power supply / charger / vehicle maintai ner capabl e of deliveri ng 50Amps or more.
Jump Starting New vehicles Before They Have Been Delivered to the Customer.
It is t he dealer / ret ailers res ponsi bili ty to ens ure the bat tery is not al lowed t o go flat by fol lowi ng the i nst ruct ionsand process es defi ned in this manual .However i f ci rcums tances dictat e t hat a new vehi cl e mus t be jump s t arted due to a flat bat t ery whil s t the vehicle isin the dealer / retail ers care, t he batt ery on this vehi cl e mus t be repl aced wi th a new one prior to del ivery to thecus t omer at the dealer / retail ers l iabil it y.The vehi cl e s houl d als o undergo inves t igati on as t o why t he batt ery went flat.Do not connect the jump s t art ing cable t o t he negat ive (-) terminal of the bat tery. Al ways connect t o t herecommended eart hing point . As defined i n t he owners handbook or s ervice document ation for t hat vehi cl e.
Jump Starting or Boost Charging Vehicles in Service
Do not connect the jump s t art ing cable t o t he negat ive (-) terminal of the bat tery. Al ways connect t o t he recommendedeart hing point . As defined i n t he owners handbook or s ervice document ati on for t hat vehi cl e.
Charging AG M Batteries
AGM bat teries mus t not be charged wit h volt ages above 14.8 Vol ts . Doing so wil l damage t hem.
Testing AGM Batteries
Midt ronics 393, 394, 493 and 494 t es ters are not capabl e of tes ti ng AGM bat teries . Doing s o can give an incorrect res ult .
W hen i t is necess ary to tes t an AGM bat tery us e t he Midt ronics EXP1080 tes ter or t he GR1 Diagnost ics Charger.
