ANTI-FREEZE
PERCENTAGE CONCENTRATION - 50%
PROTECTION - LOWER TEMPERATURE LIMIT
Complete protection
Vehicle may be driven away immediately from cold,
-33°C (-36°F).
Safe limit protection
Coolant in semi-frozen state. Engine may be started
and driven away after warm-up period, -41°C (-42°
F).
Lower protection
Prevents frost damage to cylinder head, block and
radiator. Thaw out before starting engine, -47°C (-53°
F).
CAUTION: Anti-freeze content must never
be allowed to fall below 50% otherwise
damage to the engine is liable to occur.
Also, anti-freeze content should not exceed 60%
as this will greatly reduce the cooling effect of the
coolant.RECOMMENDED FUEL
Diesel fuel oil, distillate, diesel fuel, automotive gas or
Derv to British standard 2869, Class A1 or A2
Using diesel fuel with a class rating lower than stated
above could seriously impair vehicle performance.

for leaks, hoses and oil pipes for security and
condition.
4.Check accessible hose clips for tightness.
5.Check coolant level, top-up if necessary
Cooling System Top-Up
1.With engine cold, remove expansion tank filler
cap.
2.Top-up with recommended mixture of coolant
until level reaches mark on expansion tank.
3.Fit expansion tank filler cap.
Intercooler Flush
1.Remove intercooler.See FUEL SYSTEM,
Repair.
2.Flush intercooler element using Unicorn
Chemicals’C’Solve following the manufaturers
instructions.
3.Thoroughly dry intercooler ensuring that no trace
of solvent remains in the element.
4.Refit intercooler.See FUEL SYSTEM, Repair.AMBIENT AIR PRESSURE (AAP) SENSOR - Td5
1.Check ambient air pressure sensor for damage.

MAINTENANCE DOOR LOCKS AND HINGES
Front, rear and tail doors
1.Open each door in turn and lubricate door
hinges and check strap using recommended
lubricant.
2.Lubricate door lock, striker and private lock using
PTFE lubricant. Remove excessive lubricant,
particularly from door striker area, to avoid
customer complaint.
3.Check tightness of accessible door lock and
striker fixings
4.Open and close door to check for smooth,
noise-free operation. Ensure door closes
securely.
5.Check for smooth operation of private lock.
Bonnet
1.With bonnet open, lubricate hinges, striker, lock
and safety catch using a suitable lubricant.ENGINE COOLANT
1.Renew engine coolant.See COOLING
SYSTEM, Adjustment.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION CYLINDER BLOCK
The cylinders and crankcase are contained in a single cast iron construction. The cylinders are direct bored and
plateau honed with lubrication oil supplied via lubrication jets for piston and gudgeon pin lubrication and cooling. It
is not possible to rebore the cylinder block if the cylinders become worn or damaged. Three metal core plugs are
fitted to the three centre cylinders on the right hand side of the cylinder block.
Lubrication oil is distributed throughout the block via the main oil gallery to critical moving parts through channels
bored in the block which divert oil to the main and big-end bearings via oil holes machined into the crankshaft. Oil
is also supplied from the cylinder block main gallery to the five lubrication jets which cool and lubricate the piston
and gudgeon pins. Plugs are used to seal both ends of the main oil gallery at front and rear of the engine block.
An oil cooler is fitted to the LH side of the engine block; ports in the oil cooler assembly mate with ports in the
cylinder block to facilitate coolant flow. Oil is diverted through the oil cooler, centrifuge filter and full-flow filter
before supplying the main oil gallery. A tapping in the oil filter housing provides a lubrication source for the
turbocharger bearings and an oil pressure switch is included in a tapping in the oil cooler housing which
determines whether sufficient oil pressure is available to provide engine lubrication and cooling.
Cylinder cooling is achieved by water circulating through chambers in the engine block casting. A threaded coolant
jacket plug is located at the front RH side of the cylinder block.
Cast brackets are bolted to both sides of the engine block for mounting the engine to the chassis on the LH and
RH hydramount studs.
The gearbox bolts directly to the engine block; a gearbox shim plate is located between the adjoining faces of the
gearbox and the flywheel side of the engine block and is fixed to the rear of the engine block by two bolts. Two
hollow metal dowels locate the rear of the cylinder block to the shim plate. The gearbox casing provides the
mounting for the starter motor.
A port is included at the rear left hand side of the cylinder block which connects to the turbocharger oil drain pipe
to return lubrication oil to the sump. A plug sealing the lubrication cross-drilling gallery is located at the front right
hand side of the cylinder block and plugs for the main lubrication gallery are located at the front and rear of the
cylinder block. Two plastic dowels are used to locate the cylinder head to the cylinder block and must be replaced
every time the cylinder head is removed from the cylinder block.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The engine oil cooler assembly is located on the left hand side of the engine block behind the oil centrifuge and oil
filter. The housing is bolted to the engine block by seven bolts. A matrix is included in the oil cooler housing which
acts as a heat exchanger. Coolant flow circulates through the oil cooler housing under pressure from the coolant
pump and distributes the flow evenly around the matrix fins and then along the block into three core holes for
cylinder cooling. Coolant enters the oil cooler through a pipe with a rubber hose extension at the rear side of the
engine. The coolant hose is attached to the stub pipe of the oil cooler by a spring clip.
Oil, drawn from the sump by the oil pump, passes through the oil cooler via the cylinder block. The flow of coolant
around the exterior surface of the oil cooler matrix cools a proportion of the engine oil flow as it passes through the
oil cooler.
The oil cooler is sealed to the cylinder block by a gasket which must be replaced every time the oil cooler housing
is removed.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Oil pump
1.Stiffener plate
2.Ring dowel
3.Outlet port
4.Outer rotor
5.Inner rotor6.Spring dowel
7.Oil pressure relief valve cap
8.Oil pressure relief valve spring
9.Oil pressure relief valve plunger
10.Inlet port
The eccentric rotor oil pump is integrated with the stiffener plate and contains no serviceable parts except for the
pressure relief valve spring. The oil pump drive sprocket is attached to the front of the stiffener plate and is driven
through a chain and sprocket system.
A pressure relief valve is included at the outlet side of the oil pump to restrict oil pressure at high engine speeds by
recirculating oil through the relief valve back around the pump to the inlet. The relief valve and spring is a plunger
type. When oil pressure is great enough to lift the plunger, oil is allowed to escape past the plunger to relieve
pressure and prevent further rise.
Oil is delivered to the pump from the pick-up through a channel in the stiffener plate. The outlet side of the oil
pump delivers pressurised oil flow to the engine block main oil delivery gallery through a port in the stiffener plate.
Piston lubrication jets
Piston lubrication jets are fitted to the cylinder block to provide lubrication to the cylinder walls and to the piston
underskirt for cooling the pistons and lubricating the gudgeon pins. The input port to each lubrication jet mates
with a port provided in each mounting position tapped at the underside of the cylinder block from the main oil
delivery gallery. When oil pressure is sufficient to supply flow through the jets, oil is squirted to the inside of the
cylinder walls to provide piston to wall lubrication and cooling and to the underside of the piston skirt at the bottom
of the piston stroke (gallery cooled piston). The squirt jets also provide splash feed lubrication supply to the small
end bearings of the connecting rods.
Each lubrication jet is fixed to a mounting position on the underside of the engine block by a single Torx screw.
Chain lubrication jet
A chain lubrication jet is located on the front face of the cylinder block, behind the front engine timing chain cover.
The inlet port to the lubrication jet mates with an oil supply port from the cylinder block main oil delivery gallery.
The lubrication jet is fixed to the front of the engine block by a single screw. Additional chain lubrication is provided
by oil supply through a small aperture tapped from the cylinder head oil delivery gallery.
