connected. If the hoses were originally
secured with crimped type clips, discard
these and use new worm drive clips.
2.0 litre DOHC models
17On these models the fuel pump is
mounted in the fuel tank, on the same
mounting as the fuel level sender unit(see
illustration).
18To remove the pump, first remove the fuel
tank.
19Unscrew the fuel pump/fuel level sender
unit by engaging two crossed screwdrivers in
the slots on either side of the unit mounting
flange. Recover the seal.
20Refitting is a reversal of removal. It is
necessary to fit a new seal.
1Run the fuel level as low as possible before
removing the tank.
2Disconnect the battery negative lead.
3Remove the tank filler cap, then syphon or
pump out the tank contents (there is no drain
plug). It may be necessary to disconnect the
fuel tank-to-fuel pump hose in order to fully
drain the tank. Store the petrol in a suitable
sealed container.
Saloon, Hatchback and Estate
models
4Working in the fuel filler recess, remove the
two screws on models up to 1987, or the
single screw on models from 1987, securing
the upper end of the fuel filler pipe to the body
panel.
5Chock the front wheels, then jack up the
rear of the vehicle and support on axle stands
(see “Jacking and Vehicle Support”).
6Unscrew the two securing bolts from the
left-hand tank flange, and on models from
1987, the single bolt from the right-hand tank
flange.7Support the tank, then remove the bolt from
the securing strap. Unhook the remaining end
of the strap from the underbody.
8Lower the tank sufficiently to disconnect
the two wiring plugs from the fuel level sender
(pump) unit (see illustration).
9Identify the fuel hose locations for use when
refitting, then disconnect the hoses from the
sender unit and plug them.
10Withdraw the fuel tank from under the
vehicle.
11The fuel filler and ventilation pipes can be
removed from the tank by loosening the
securing clips.
12If the tank is contaminated with sediment
or water, swill it out with clean petrol. If the
tank has a leak, or is damaged, it should be
repaired by a specialist, or alternatively
renewed. Do not under any circumstances
attempt to solder or weld a fuel tank.
13Refitting is a reversal of removal, but
ensure that the ventilation pipe is correctly
positioned in its groove in the tank, and is not
trapped between the tank and the vehicle
underbody. Ensure that the fuel hoses and the
fuel filler and ventilation pipes are correctly
connected, and if the hoses or pipes were
originally secured with crimped type clips,
discard these and use new worm drive clips.
P100 models
14Remove the cargo area (Chapter 12).
15Disconnect the wiring plug from the fuel
level sender unit, and release the wiring from
the clip on the fuel tank flange.
16Identify the fuel hose locations for use
when refitting, then disconnect the hoses
from the sender unit and plug them.
17Detach the fuel pipes from their clips on
the tank.
18Remove the five tank securing bolts, and
lift the tank from the chassis frame (see
illustration).
19Proceed as described in paragraphs 11
and 12.
20Commence refitting by loosening the
bolts securing the front tank mounting
brackets to the chassis frame.
21Lower the tank into position and loosely
refit the securing bolts. Tighten the three rear
securing bolts.
22Pull down on the front of the tank and
tighten the bolts securing the front tank
mounting brackets to the chassis frame whenthe brackets contact the insulating pads, then
tighten the front tank securing bolts.
23Further refitting is a reversal of removal,
but ensure that all hoses and pipes are
correctly connected, and if the hoses or pipes
were originally secured with crimped type
clips, discard these and use new worm drive
clips. Refit the cargo area.

1Remove the fuel tank.
2Unscrew the sender unit from the tank by
engaging two crossed screwdrivers in the
slots on either side of the sender unit
mounting flange. Recover the seal. Check the
condition of the gauze filter on the fuel pick-
up pipe, and renew it if there is any sign of
deterioration.
3Refitting is a reversal of removal, but fit a
new seal.

4On these models the sender unit is
combined with the fuel pump. See Section 8
for unit removal and refitting.

5Remove the cargo area (Chapter 12).
6Disconnect the wiring plug from the sender
unit.
7Identify the fuel hose locations, as an aid to
refitting, then disconnect the hoses from the
sender unit and plug them.
8Proceed as described in paragraph 2.
9Refitting is a reversal of removal, but fit a
new seal, and ensure that the fuel hoses are
correctly connected. If the hoses were
originally secured with crimped type clips,
discard these and use new worm drive clips.

Refer to Chapter 1, Sections 15 and 16.
1Check the idle speed and mixture
adjustment. The idle speed must be correct
before attempting to check or adjust the fast
idle speed.
2With the engine at normal operating
temperature, and a tachometer connected in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions proceed as follows.
3Remove the air cleaner.
4Position the fast idle speed adjustment
screw on the lowest (6th) step of the fast idle
cam (see illustration).
5Check that the fast idle speed is as
specified. If adjustment is required, stop the
engine and proceed as follows.
6Remove the tamperproof cap from the fast
idle speed adjustment screw.
7Ensure that the adjustment screw is still
resting on the lowest step of the fast idle cam,
then open the throttle so that a small
screwdriver can be used to adjust the screw
from below the carburettor.
8Start the engine and recheck the fast idle
speed.
9If necessary, repeat the procedure given in
paragraphs 7 and 8 until the correct fast idle
speed is obtained.
10On completion of adjustment, stop the
engine and disconnect the tachometer, then
refit the tamperproof cap to the adjustment
screw, and refit the air cleaner.Note: A new gasket must be used when
refitting the carburettor. A tachometer and an
exhaust gas analyser will be required to check
the idle speed and mixture on completion.Removal
1Disconnect the battery negative lead.
2Remove the air cleaner.
3Disconnect the wiring from the anti-
dieselling (anti-run-on) valve.
4Disconnect the wiring from the automatic
choke heater.
5Disconnect the fuel supply and return
hoses, noting their locations to aid refitting.
Plug the ends of the hoses to minimise petrol
spillage.
6Disconnect the link arm from the throttle
linkage.
7Disconnect the vacuum pipe.
8Release the coolant hose from the bracket
under the automatic choke housing.
9Unscrew the four Torx screws, and lift the
carburettor from the inlet manifold. Recover
the gasket.
Refitting
11Refitting is a reversal of removal, bearing
in mind the following points.
12Ensure that the mating faces of the inlet
manifold and the carburettor are clean, and
use a new gasket.
13Ensure that all hoses, pipes and wiring 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.
14Make sure that the coolant hose is
correctly positioned in the bracket under the
automatic choke housing.
15On completion, check and if necessary
adjust the idle speed and mixture.
Refer to Chapter 1, Sections 15 and 16.1Proceed as described for the Weber 2V
carburettor, noting the following.
2The fast idle adjustment screw should be
positioned on the third (middle) step of the
fast idle cam (see illustration).
3Refer to the Specifications at the beginning
of this Chapter for the correct fast idle speed.

use when refitting.
5Disconnect the fuel supply hose at the
carburettor and plug the end to minimise
petrol spillage.
6Disconnect all relevant wiring and vacuum
pipes from the carburettor, if necessary noting
the locations for use when refitting.
7Disconnect the throttle cable from the
throttle linkage.
8Disconnect the crankcase ventilation and
brake servo vacuum hoses from the inlet
manifold. The brake servo vacuum hose is
secured with a union nut (see illustrations).
9Disconnect any remaining wiring and
vacuum pipes from the inlet manifold, if
necessary noting the locations as an aid to
refitting.
10Where necessary, unbolt the throttle cable
bracket from the top of the inlet manifold for
improved access, and unbolt the dipstick tube
bracket.

Refitting
14Refitting is a reversal of removal bearing
in mind the following points.
15Ensure that all mating faces are clean.
16Renew the gasket(s), and apply a bead of
sealant at least 5.0 mm (0.2 in) wide around
the central coolant aperture on both sides of
the manifold-to-cylinder head gasket.
17Tighten the manifold securing nuts and
bolts progressively to the specified torque,
ensuring that the engine lifting bracket is in
place.
18Make sure that all hoses, pipes and wires
are correctly reconnected, and if the fuel
supply hose was originally secured with a
crimped type clip, discard this and use a new
worm drive clip on refitting.
