Draining
WARNING: DO NOT remove caps or plugs
when the engine is hot. The cooling
system is pressurised and personal
scalding could result.
1.Remove expansion tank filler cap.
2.Position a clean container under radiator if
coolant is to be reused.
3.Disconnect radiator bottom hose and allow
coolant to drain.
NOTE: A chassis undertray may be fitted
on some vehicle derivatives to conform to
legal requirements. When under chassis
remove and refit procedures are required, it may
be necessary to remove the undertray and/or
integral access panels.
See CHASSIS AND BODY,
Repair, Front undertray
orSee CHASSIS AND
BODY, Repair, Rear undertray
4.When expansion tank has emptied remove
thermostat housing plug to assist drainage.
5.Similarly when coolant is below top of radiator,
remove radiator plug.
6.Fit radiator bottom hose and fully tighten hose
clip.Refill
CAUTION: It is important that the correct
procedure is followed when refilling or
topping up the cooling system to avoid
trapping air in the system.
7.Fill cooling system with 50% - 50% of
water/anti-freeze mixture
See LUBRICANTS,
FLUIDS AND CAPACITIES, Information,
Recommended lubricants and fluids
8.Fill through expansion tank until radiator is full,
with level in expansion tank the same as
radiator.
NOTE: Care should be taken to avoid
excess coolant spillage.
9.Fit plastic plug in radiator.
10.Add a further 1 litre (1.76 pints) of coolant into
expansion tank and allow to settle.
11.Refit expansion tank cap and thermostat
housing plug.
12.Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
13.Switch off engine and allow to cool.
14.Check that coolant in expansion tank is level
with top of indicator post. Top up if necessary.

MANIFOLD AND EXHAUST SYSTEM

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION MANIFOLDS AND EXHAUST SYSTEM
Description
The exhaust systems fitted on all models with the
300Tdi engine comprise three sections; front pipe
assembly, intermediate silencer assembly, and tail
pipe and silencer assembly. All sections, including
silencers, are manufactured from luminised steel to
give the system a durable working life under all
conditions. Special clamps are provided to ensureleak proof jointing between the various sections,
which are supported by flexible rubber mountings.
Catalytic convertor
When fitted, the catalytic converter is integral with the
front pipe assembly, which also incorporates a flexible
joint. The catalyst forms part of the engine emission
control that can also include an EGR valve system

CLUTCH
1
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The clutch unit comprises a single dry plate friction
disc and diaphragm spring clutch unit, secured to the
engine flywheel.OPERATION
The unit is operated hydraulically by the clutch master
cylinder (12) and a slave cylinder (13) attached to the
transmission bell housing.
Clutch components
1.Crankshaft and flywheel
2.Friction plate
3.Clutch cover
4.Diaphragm spring
5.Pressure plate
6.Fulcrum posts (9) for diaphragm spring
7.Bearing rings (2) for diaphragm spring
8.Retraction links and bolts (3) for pressure plate
9.Release bearing10.Release lever
11.Release lever pivot post
12.Master cylinder
13.Slave cylinder
14.Master cylinder pedal pushrod
15.Primary shaft and taper bearing (in gearbox)
16.Gearbox front cover
17.Primary shaft flywheel bush
18.Pedal pivot and return spring

33CLUTCH
2
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
When the clutch pedal is depressed, hydraulic fluid
transmits the movement via the slave cylinder, release
lever (10), bearing (9), to the inner fingers of the
diaphragm spring (4).
The diaphragm spring (4) pivots on the bearing rings
(7) and fulcrum posts (6) causing the pressure plate
(5) to release the clamping force on the friction plate
and linings (2).As the the clamping force is removed from the friction
plate (2), the plate slides on the splines of the primary
shaft (15) and takes up a neutral position between the
flywheel (1) and the pressure plate (5), thus
disconnecting the drive between the engine and the
gearbox.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS CLUTCH ASSEMBLY CONDITIONS
For the clutch to operate correctly it is important the
following conditions are satisfied:-
·The primary shaft (15) must be free in the
crankshaft spigot bush (17).
·The friction plate (2) must be able to slide easily on
the splines on the primary shaft (15), to a position
where it does not contact either the flywheel or the
pressure plate.
·The friction plate must not be distorted or the
linings contaminated with oil, which may cause it to
stick or continue to run in contact with the flywheel
or pressure plate.
A number of faults can develop in the operation of the
clutch for a variety of reasons and most faults are due
to normal wear at high mileage. Problems can also
occur if the unit has been renewed by an unskilled
operator.
Recognising and diagnosing a particular clutch fault is
therefore of paramount importance in ensuring that
the problem is rectified at the first attempt.
Problems which develop in the clutch are as follows:-
·Clutch spin/drag
·Clutch slip
·Clutch judder/fierceCLUTCH SPIN - DRAG
Symptoms
Clutch spin is that, with engine running and clutch
pedal depressed, the gears cannot be immediately
engaged without making a grinding noise. This
indicates the clutch is not making a clean break.
However, if the clutch pedal is held depressed for
several seconds the friction plate will eventually break
free from the engine and the gear will engage silently.
Clutch spin as it becomes more severe develops into
clutch drag, making the silent engagement of a gear
impossible, regardless of how long the pedal is held
depressed.
CLUTCH SLIP
Symptoms
Clutch slip is most evident climbing a hill or when the
vehicle is moving off from stationary with a heavy
load. As the clutch is released, slip occurs between
the engine and the transmission, allowing the engine
speed to increase without a corresponding increase in
vehicle speed.
Clutch slip can develop to the stage where no power
is transmitted through the clutch as the pedal is
released.
CLUTCH JUDDER - FIERCE
Symptoms
Clutch judder or fierce engagement, like slip, is most
likely to occur when the vehicle is moving off from
stationary. As the clutch pedal is released the vehicle
will move rapidly or in a series of jerks, which cannot
be controlled even by careful operation of the clutch
by the driver.
It should be noted that a vehicle may display all the
symptoms or any combination of the symptoms
described, depending on the driving conditions vehicle
load and operating temperatures.
