ANTI-FREEZE
PERCENTAGE CONCENTRATION - 50%
PROTECTION - LOWER TEMPERATURE LIMIT
Complete protection
Vehicle may be driven away immediately from cold,
-33°C (-36°F).
Safe limit protection
Coolant in semi-frozen state. Engine may be started
and driven away after warm-up period, -41°C (-42°
F).
Lower protection
Prevents frost damage to cylinder head, block and
radiator. Thaw out before starting engine, -47°C (-53°
F).
CAUTION: Anti-freeze content must never
be allowed to fall below 50% otherwise
damage to the engine is liable to occur.
Also, anti-freeze content should not exceed 60%
as this will greatly reduce the cooling effect of the
coolant.RECOMMENDED FUEL
Diesel fuel oil, distillate, diesel fuel, automotive gas or
Derv to British standard 2869, Class A1 or A2
Using diesel fuel with a class rating lower than stated
above could seriously impair vehicle performance.

Repair.ROAD TEST
There are two purposes for conducting a road test.
Firstly, to ensure the work completed within the
dealership meets the standards required as layed
down by dealership processes. Secondly, for a skilled
technician to assess the general condition of the
vehicle and report any conditions that the customer
should be made aware of.
CAUTION: Two wheel roller tests must not
be carried out. Four wheel roller tests
must be restricted to 3 mph (5 kph).
1.Check for correct operation of starter switch.
Ensure the engine starts in a correct manner.
Leave the engine running.
2.With vehicle stationary, turn steering from lock to
lock. Check for smooth operation and ensure
there is no undue noise from the power steering
pump or drive belt.
3.Depress clutch and select all gears in turn.
Check for smooth notch free engagement.
4.Drive vehicle on a short road test. Check all
vehicle systems for correct operation. Pay
particular attention to:
Engine noise
Gearbox noise
Suspension noise
Body noise
Braking system operation
Gear selection
Engine performance
5.Check for correct operation of all instruments
and warning devices where practical.
6.After road test, carry out a final inspection of the
vehicle on vehicle ramps.
7.Check all underbonnet fluid levels and top-up if
necessary.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION CYLINDER BLOCK
The cylinders and crankcase are contained in a single cast iron construction. The cylinders are direct bored and
plateau honed with lubrication oil supplied via lubrication jets for piston and gudgeon pin lubrication and cooling. It
is not possible to rebore the cylinder block if the cylinders become worn or damaged. Three metal core plugs are
fitted to the three centre cylinders on the right hand side of the cylinder block.
Lubrication oil is distributed throughout the block via the main oil gallery to critical moving parts through channels
bored in the block which divert oil to the main and big-end bearings via oil holes machined into the crankshaft. Oil
is also supplied from the cylinder block main gallery to the five lubrication jets which cool and lubricate the piston
and gudgeon pins. Plugs are used to seal both ends of the main oil gallery at front and rear of the engine block.
An oil cooler is fitted to the LH side of the engine block; ports in the oil cooler assembly mate with ports in the
cylinder block to facilitate coolant flow. Oil is diverted through the oil cooler, centrifuge filter and full-flow filter
before supplying the main oil gallery. A tapping in the oil filter housing provides a lubrication source for the
turbocharger bearings and an oil pressure switch is included in a tapping in the oil cooler housing which
determines whether sufficient oil pressure is available to provide engine lubrication and cooling.
Cylinder cooling is achieved by water circulating through chambers in the engine block casting. A threaded coolant
jacket plug is located at the front RH side of the cylinder block.
Cast brackets are bolted to both sides of the engine block for mounting the engine to the chassis on the LH and
RH hydramount studs.
The gearbox bolts directly to the engine block; a gearbox shim plate is located between the adjoining faces of the
gearbox and the flywheel side of the engine block and is fixed to the rear of the engine block by two bolts. Two
hollow metal dowels locate the rear of the cylinder block to the shim plate. The gearbox casing provides the
mounting for the starter motor.
A port is included at the rear left hand side of the cylinder block which connects to the turbocharger oil drain pipe
to return lubrication oil to the sump. A plug sealing the lubrication cross-drilling gallery is located at the front right
hand side of the cylinder block and plugs for the main lubrication gallery are located at the front and rear of the
cylinder block. Two plastic dowels are used to locate the cylinder head to the cylinder block and must be replaced
every time the cylinder head is removed from the cylinder block.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION CRANKSHAFT, SUMP AND OIL PUMP
The crankshaft, sump and oil pump components are described below:
Sump
The sump is a wet-type, of aluminium construction and is sealed to the engine block by means of a rubber gasket
and twenty fixing bolts. The four bolts at the gearbox end of the sump are longer than the other sixteen bolts.
The sump gasket incorporates compression limiters (integrated metal sleeves) at the bolt holes, which are
included to prevent distortion of the gasket when the sump to cylinder block bolts are being tightened.
An oil drain plug is fitted at the bottom of the oil sump reservoir. An oil return drain pipe is also attached to the oil
sump which returns oil from the centrifugal filter.
Stiffener Plate
The stiffener plate assembly provides lower engine block rigidity and utilises dowels to align it to the bottom of the
cylinder block. A rotary oil pump is integral with the stiffener plate and an oil pick-up and strainer assembly is fitted
to the underside of the stiffener plate. The stiffener and oil pump assembly is secured to the cylinder block by 22
bolts.
