Introduction
38
L
The vehicle has been designed, built and tested
to cope with a variet y of off-road driving
conditions, some of which can place the
severest possible demands on control systems
and components. As such , fitting replacement
parts and accessories that have been
developed and tested to the same stringent
standards as the orig inal components will
safeguard the continued reliability, safety and
performance of your vehicle.
To augment the vehicle's already impressive
performance, a compre hensive range of Land
Rover approved spare parts and accessories is
available, enabling the vehicle to fulfil a wide
variety of roles, and enhancing and protecting
the vehicle in the many tasks to which it can be
applied.
Land Rover parts are the only parts built to
original equipment specifications and
approved by Land Rover designers; this means
that every single part and accessory has been
rigorously tested by the same engineering
team that designed and built the vehicle and
can therefore be guaranteed for twelve months
with unlimited mileage.
A full list and description of all accessories is
available from your Land Rover Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
Electrical equipment
Always consult a Land Rover Dealer/
Authorised Repairer before fitting any
accessory.
Fitting inferior quality parts or accessories,
may be dangerous and could invalidate the
vehicle warranty.
It is recommended that you always consult a
Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer for
advice regarding the approval, suitability,
installation and use of an y parts or accessories
before fitting.
E84192
WARNING
It is extremely hazardous to fit or
replace parts or accessories, the
installation of wh ich requires the
dismantling of, or addition to, either the
electrical or fuel systems.

Maintenance
158
L
One or both types of serv ice interval (distance
and time) may be displayed. For example, if an
engine oil service is du e based on mileage, and
a brake fluid change is due based on time, both
distance and time c ountdowns will display.
Service Portfolio
The Service Portfolio book includes a Service
Record section, which enables a record to be
kept of all the servicing and inspections that are
carried out on the vehicle. This section of the
book also has an area for brake fluid changes
to be recorded.
Ensure your service provider signs and stamps
the book after each se rvice and inspection.
Owner Maintenance
In addition to the routine maintenance, a
number of simple checks must be carried out
more frequently. Advice is given on the pages
that follow.
Daily checks
• Operation of lamps, horn, direction
indicators, wipers, washers and warning
indicators.
• Operation of seat belts and brakes.
• Look for fluid deposits underneath the
vehicle that might indicate a leak.
Weekly checks
• Engine oil level. See ENGINE OIL CHECK
(page 162).
• Engine coolant check. See ENGINE
COOLANT CHECK (page 163).
• Brake/clutch fluid level. See BRAKE AND
CLUTCH FLUID CHECK (page 165). •
Power steering fluid level. See POWER
STEERING FLUID CHECK (page 166).
• Screen washer fluid level. See WASHER
FLUID CHECK (page 167).
• Tyre pressure s and condition.
• Operate air conditioning.
Note: The engine oil leve l should be checked
more frequently if the vehicle is driven for
prolonged periods at high speeds.
Driving in arduous conditions
When a vehicle is operated in extremely
arduous conditions, more frequent attention
must be paid to servicing requirements.
For example, if your vehicle experiences deep
wading conditions, even daily servicing could
be necessary to ensure the continued safe and
reliable operation of the vehicle.
Arduous driving conditions include:
• Driving in dusty and/or sandy conditions.
• Driving on rough and/or muddy roads
and/or wading.
• Driving in extremely hot conditions.
• Towing a trailer or driving in mountainous
conditions.
Contact a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised
Repairer for advice.
Emission control
Your vehicle is fitted with various items of
emission and evaporative control equipment,
designed to meet sp ecific territorial
requirements. You should be aware that
unauthorised replacemen t, modification or
tampering with this equipment by an owner or
repair shop, may be unlawful and subject to
legal penalties.
CAUTION
Any significant or sudden drop in fluid
levels, or uneven tyre wear, should be
reported to a qualified technician without
delay.

Topping up the oil
1. Unscrew the oil filler cap.
2. Add oil to maintain the level between the
MIN and MAX marks or notches on the
dipstick. Clean up any oil spilled during
topping-up.
3. Check the oil level again after 5 minutes.
It is essential to use the correct specification
oil, and to ensure it is suitable for the climatic
conditions in which the vehicle is to be
operated.
Note: The approximate quantity of oil required
to raise the level from MIN to MAX on the
dipstick is 0.8 litres (1.4 pints) - petrol models
or 1.5 litres (2.6 pi nts) - diesel models.
Engine oil specification
Land Rover recommends Castrol oils.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
If the quantity of fluid in the coolant
reservoir drops below the
recommended level, an amber
warning indicator in the instrument pack will
illuminate. Stop the vehicle and check the
coolant level.
On vehicles with a message centre, the
message LOW COOLANT LEVEL or COOLING
SYSTEM FAULT MONITOR GAUGE will be
displayed in place of the warning indicator.
Checking the coolant level
The coolant level in the expansion tank should
be checked at least week ly (more frequently in
high mileage or arduous operating conditions).
Always check the level when the system is
cold.
Ensure the coolant level is maintained between
the level indicator marks located on the side of
the expansion tank.
CAUTIONS
Your vehicle warranty may be invalidated
if damage is caused by using oil that
does not meet the required specification.
Failure to use an oil that meets the
required specification could cause
excessive engine wear, a build up of sludge
and deposits, and increase pollution. It could
also lead to engine failure.
Overfilling with oil could result in severe
engine damage. Oil should be added in
small quantities and the level re-checked to
ensure that the engine is not overfilled.
Model Specification
Petrol engine Use only 0W-30 engine oil, meeting ACEA A5 or
B5 specification.
Diesel engine Use only 5W-30 oil meeting Ford 913-B
specification.
CAUTION
Running the engine without coolant will
cause serious engine damage.

BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID CHECK
If the quantity of fluid in the
brake/clutch rese rvoir drops below
the recommended level, a red
warning indicator in the instrument pack will
illuminate or the message CHECK BRAKE
FLUID will be displayed in the message centre.
Note: If the warning indicator illuminates, or
the message is displayed while the vehicle is
being driven, stop the vehi cle as soon as safety
permits by gently applying the brakes.
Check and top-up the flui d level if necessary.
Checking the fluid level
With the vehicle on level ground, check the
fluid level at least every week (more frequently
in high mileage or arduous operating
conditions).
1. Release the two catches and lift the rear of
the cover.
2. Slide the cover forward and lift it off
completely.
1. Release the catch.
2. Remove the cover.
WARNINGS
Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep
containers sealed a nd out of the reach
of children. If accident al consumption of fluid
is suspected, seek medical attention
immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
Take care not to spill the fluid onto a hot
engine - a fire may result.
Do not drive the vehicle with the fluid
level below the MIN mark.WARNING
Seek qualified assistance immediately if
brake pedal travel is unusually long or if
there is any significant loss of brake fluid.
Driving under such condi tions could result in
extended stopping distances or complete
brake failure.

Wheels and tyres
178
L
All of the vehicle's tyres (including the spare)
should be checked regularly for damage, wear
and distortion. If you ar e in any doubt about the
condition of a tyre, have it checked immediately
by a tyre repair centre, or your Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised repairer.
Tyre wear
Good driving practise w ill improve the mileage
you obtain from your tyres, and avoid
unnecessary damage.
• Always ensure that the tyre pressures are
correctly adjusted.
• Always observe the posted speed limits,
and advisory speeds for bends.
• Avoid pulling away quickly, or hard
acceleration.
• Avoid making fast turns or braking
sharply.
• Wherever possible, avoid potholes, or
obstacles on the road.
• Do not drive up kerbs, or rub the tyres
against them when parking.
Wear indicators When the tread has worn down to
approximately 2 mm, wear indicators start to
appear at the surface of the tread pattern. This
produces a continuous ba nd of rubber across
the tread as a visual indicator.
To maintain performance and grip the tyre
must be replaced as s oon as the wear indicator
becomes visible. Sooner, if legislation requires
replacement at a greater tread depth.
Note: Tread depth should be checked
regularly, in some case more frequently than
the service intervals. For advice on checking
tyres contact your Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised repairer, or a tyre dealer.
Age degradation
Tyres degrade over time due to the effects of
ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high
loads, and environmen tal conditions. It is
recommended that tyres are replaced at least
every six years, but they may require
replacement more frequently.
Land Rover recommends that even if unused,
the spare tyre be replaced at the same time as
the four road tyres.
Punctured tyres
WARNING
Wear indicators show the minimum
tread depth recommended by the
manufacturers. Tyres whic h have worn to this
point will have reduced grip and poor water
displacement characteristics.
CAUTION
If tread wear is uneve n across a tyre, or
the tyre wears excessively, the vehicle
should be checked by your Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Repairer as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with a
punctured tyre. Even if the punctured
tyre has not deflated, it is unsafe to use as the
tyre may deflat e suddenly at an y time. See
TYRE REPAIR KIT (page 187).
