INFORMATION FAULT DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT
TESTBOOK
For Defender models fitted with the vehicle Anti-theft
Immobilisation and Alarm System, diagnostic
equipment, named TestBook, is available to assist in
the diagnostic and fault finding abilities of the Dealer
workshop. A diagnostic connector, located under the
front centre seat, or cubby box, as shown below, is
provided to facilitate the procedures.
If an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is fitted,
this too can be checked using TestBook. A diagnostic
connector, also located under the front centre seat or
cubby box, is provided.
Features of Testbook include :-
Fully upgradable support for the technician.
Structured diagnostics to accommodate all skill levels.
Touch screen operation.
Direct print out of screen information and test results.READING THIS MANUAL
This manual is divided into sections shown on the
contents page, alongside a range of icons, familiar to
service technicians.
Relevant information is contained within each of these
sections. These are further divided into the following
sub-sections which appear at the foot of each page :-
Description and operation.
Fault diagnosis.
Adjustment.
Repair.
Overhaul.
Specifications, Torque.
To avoid repeating information through the sections,
where part of the repair operation impacts on another
section, a cross reference is given to direct the reader
to where the information is sited.
For example:
The maintenance section states the need to renew
drive belt. A cross reference sites this information in:
Section 12 Engine
- Sub-section: Repairs
- Heading: Drive belt renew.

be checked at specified service 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.

DRAIN AND CLEAN FUEL SEDIMENTER, IF
FITTED
The fuel sedimenter is located on a chassis side
member on the RH side of vehicle near rear wheel. It
increases the working life of the fuel filter by removing
larger droplets of water and other matter from fuel.
NOTE: On 110/130 models with a twin tank
fuel system, two sedimenters may be
fitted, one on each side of the vehicle
chassis.
1.Slacken drain plug and allow any water to drain
off.
