RENEW AUTOMATIC GEARBOX FLUID AND OIL
SCREEN
1.Site vehicle on lift or level ground. Place
container to drain gearbox fluid into. Disconnect
battery negative lead.
2.Remove gearbox dipstick, located at rear of right
hand rocker cover, to aid oil drainage. Release
plug from bottom of sump and allow fluid to drain
completely.
3.Refit plug using a new sealing washer. Tighten
to
10 Nm
Refill ZF Automatic Gearbox and Check Fluid
Level.
NOTE: The fluid level must checked when
fluid is cold and engine idling in park.
4.Ensure vehicle is on level ground.
5.Refill or top-up with correct quantity and grade of
fluid.
See LUBRICANTS, FLUIDS AND
CAPACITIES, Information, Recommended
Lubricants and Fluids
6.Start and run engine. Apply footbrake, select
position 1 then back to park. Check fluid level,
this must be between the two marks on the
dipstick.

2.Using a low pressure hand grease gun, apply
recommended grease, to grease nipples at front
and rear propeller shaft universal and sliding
joints.
NOTE: The rear propeller shaft flexible
coupling is not fitted with a grease nipple.

OF OF BALL JOINTS AND DUST COVERS
Ball joints are lubricated for their normal life during
manufacture and require no further lubrication. This
applies ONLY if rubber boot has not been dislodged
or damaged. Joints should be checked at specified
mileage intervals but more frequently if vehicle is used
under arduous conditions.
1.Check for wear in joints by moving ball joint up
and down vigorously. If free movement is
apparent fit a new joint assembly.

RESET EMISSION MAINTENANCE REMINDER -
USA
The emission maintenance reminder is designed to
activate at 52,500 and 105,000 miles respectively and
will illuminate a 'Service Engine' red warning light in
instrument binnacle.
The emission maintenance reminder must be reset
after required maintenance has been carried out and
a new tamperproof label fitted by a Land Rover of
North America dealer. This emission maintenance
reminder is part of the Emission Control System
Reset
1.The control unit is located in the passenger
footwell.
2.Identify control unit and remove from plug.
3.Remove tamperproof label to reveal access hole
for resetting.
4.Place a thin metallic probe into access hole and
momentarily electrically short between reset pins
inside unit.RECOMMENDED SERVICE ITEMS
Refer Service Schedule sheets for intervals.
Clean sunroof drain tubes, clean and lubricate guide
rails and slides.
Renew the hydraulic brake fluid.
See BRAKES,
Repair, Brake System Bleed
Renew all hydraulic brake fluid, seals, brake servo
filter and flexible hoses.
All working surfaces of the master cylinder and caliper
cylinders should be examined and renewed where
necessary.
ABS vehicles only - renew hydraulic brake fluid and
flexible hoses examine the working surfaces of the
caliper cylinders and renew the seals or cylinders
where necessary.
Air cleaner - When the vehicle is used in dusty or field
conditions or deep wading, frequent attention to the
air cleaner may be required.
ABS vehicles used extensively in arduous off-road
conditions - check the rear wheel road speed sensor
for abrasive wear.
