Removal
1Disconnect the battery negative lead.
2Remove the air cleaner.
3Relieve the pressure in the cooling system
by unscrewing the expansion tank cap. If the
engine is warm, place a thick rag over the cap
and unscrew the cap slowly as a precaution
against scalding. Refit the cap after relieving
the pressure.4Identify the automatic choke coolant hose
locations, as an aid to refitting, then
disconnect the hoses (being prepared for
coolant spillage.) Either plug the hoses or
secure them with their ends facing upwards to
prevent loss of coolant.
5Disconnect the wiring from the anti-dieselling (anti-run-on) valve.
6Disconnect the fuel hose and vacuum pipe
(see illustration). Plug the end of the fuel
hose to minimise petrol spillage.

Refitting
9Refitting is a reversal of removal, bearing in
mind the following points.
10Ensure that the mating faces of the inlet
manifold and carburettor are clean, and use a
new gasket.
11Ensure that the coolant hoses, fuel hose,
and vacuum pipe are correctly routed and free
from restrictions. If any of the hoses were
originally secured with crimped type clips,
discard these and use new worm drive clips
on refitting.
12On completion, check and if necessary
top-up the coolant level. Check and if
necessary adjust the idle speed and mixture.
Refer to Chapter 1, Sections 15 and 16.
1Proceed as described for the Ford VV
carburettor but note the following.
2On models with an electrically-heated
automatic choke, ignore all references to the
cooling system and coolant hoses.3Not all Weber carburettors are fitted with an
anti-dieselling valve.
4Disconnect all relevant wiring plugs and
vacuum pipes, if necessary noting their
locations for use when refitting.
5Disconnect the link arm from the throttle
linkage instead of disconnecting the throttle
cable.
6The carburettor is secured to the inlet
manifold by four nuts and washers.
Refer to Chapter 1, Sections 15 and 16.
1This procedure does not apply to models
fitted with a carburettor stepper motor, for
which no adjustment is possible.
2Check the idle speed and mixture. The idle
speed must be correct before attempting to
check or adjust the fast idle speed.
3With the engine at normal operating
temperature, and a tachometer connected in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, proceed as follows.
4Remove the air cleaner.
5Partially open the throttle, hold the choke
plate(s) fully closed, then release the throttle
so that on 1.6 litre models the fast idle
adjustment screw rests on the third (middle)
step of the fast idle cam (see illustration)and
on 2.0 litre models the fast idle adjustment
screw rests on the highest step of the fast idle
cam (see illustration).
6Release the choke plate(s), checking that
it/they remain(s) fully open; if not, the
automatic choke mechanism is faulty, or the
engine is not at normal operating temperature.
7Without touching the throttle pedal, start
the engine and check that the fast idle speed
is as specified. If adjustment is necessary,
turn the fast idle adjustment screw until the
correct speed is obtained.
8On completion of adjustment, stop the
engine and disconnect the tachometer, then
refit the air cleaner.1Proceed as described for the Ford VV
carburettor but note the following.
2The Pierburg carburettor is not fitted with
an anti-dieselling valve.
3Disconnect all relevant wiring plugs and
vacuum pipes, if necessary noting their
locations as an aid to refitting.
4Disconnect the throttle arm from the throttle
lever by removing the retaining clip instead of
disconnecting the cable (see illustration).
5The carburettor is secured to the inlet
manifold by three Torx type screws (see
illustration).
6On CVH models an insulator block is fitted
between the carburettor and the inlet manifold
in place of a gasket. There is no need to
renew the insulator block on refitting.

9Tighten the manifold securing nuts
progressively to the specified torque, and
similarly tighten the exhaust downpipe
securing nuts. Do not forget to fit the engine
lifting bracket on SOHC models.
10Ensure that the HT leads are reconnected
to their correct cylinders.
Inspection
1The exhaust system should be examined for
leaks, damage, and security at regular
intervals. To do this, apply the handbrake, then
start the engine and allow it to idle. Lie down on
each side of the vehicle in turn and check the
full length of the exhaust system for leaks,
while an assistant temporarily places a wad of
cloth over the tailpipe. If a leak is evident, stop
the engine and use a proprietary repair kit to
seal it. If an excessive leak or damage is
evident, renew the relevant section of the
exhaust system. Check the rubber mountings
for deterioration and renew if necessary.
Removal
2To remove the exhaust system, jack up the
front and rear of the vehicle and support on
axle stands (see “Jacking and Vehicle
Support”).
3If desired, the exhaust downpipe can be
removed independently of the remainder of
the system, and similarly the main part of the
system can be removed, leaving the
downpipe in place.
4To remove the downpipe, unscrew the
securing nuts and disconnect the downpipe
from the manifold. Recover the gasket.
Unscrew the two nuts and bolts, and separate
the downpipe flanged joint from the remainder
of the system. Withdraw the downpipe (see
illustrations).
5To remove the main section of the exhaust
system leaving the downpipe in place,
unscrew the two securing nuts and bolts and
separate the flanged joint from the downpipe.
Unhook the rubber mountings and withdraw
the system from underneath the vehicle. The
number and type of rubber mountings variesaccording to model (see illustrations). If
necessary to avoid confusion, note how the
mountings are fitted to enable correct
refitting. Note that on P100 models the
system must be manipulated to pass over the
rear axle.
Refitting
6Refitting is a reversal of removal, but ensure
that all mating faces are clean, and fit a new
gasket between the downpipe and manifold
(see illustration). Do not fully tighten the joint

fittings until the system is in position and
correctly aligned in its mountings under the
vehicle. Ensure that no part of the exhaust
system is closer than 25.0 mm (1.0 in) to the
underbody.
7Service replacement exhaust systems are
available in three sections; downpipe, centre
section and rear section. The service replace-
ment sections fit together using socket joints,
therefore the centre section of a production
exhaust system cannot be renewed without
also renewing the rear section.
8To renew the centre and/or rear section(s)
of the exhaust system, first remove the main
system as described in paragraph 5.9To fit a service replacement rear section to
a production system, use a hacksaw to cut
through the pipe at the applicable point
shown (see illustrations). Apply exhaust
sealant to the mating surfaces of the two
sections, then push the two sections together
and fit a U-bolt clamp to the centre of the
joint. Do not fully tighten the U-bolt clamp
nuts until the system is in position and
correctly aligned in its mountings under the
vehicle.
10To renew a service replacement section,
unscrew the nuts and remove the U-bolt
clamp from the joint. Tap around the joint to
break the seal, and separate the centre andrear sections. Ensure that the joint mating
surfaces are clean, then apply exhaust
sealant, push the new section onto the
remaining section, and fit the U-bolt clamp to
the centre of the joint. Do not fully tighten the
U-bolt clamp nuts until the system is in
position and correctly aligned in its mountings
under the vehicle.
