INFORMATION INTRODUCTION
This workshop manual covers vehicles from 1995
model year onwards. Amendments and additional
pages will be issued to ensure that the manual
covers latest models. Amendments and additions
will be identified by the addition of a dated footer
at the bottom of the page.
This Workshop Manual is designed to assist skilled
technicians in the efficient repair and maintenance of
Land Rover vehicles.
Individuals who undertake their own repairs
should have some skill and training, and limit
repairs to components which could not affect the
safety of the vehicle or its passengers. Any
repairs required to safety critical items such as
steering, brakes, suspension or supplementary
restraint system should be carried out by a Land
Rover Dealer. Repairs to such items should
NEVER be attempted by untrained individuals.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONSandNOTESare given
throughout this Manual in the following form:
WARNING: Procedures which must be
followed precisely to avoid the possibility
of personal injury.
CAUTION: This calls attention to
procedures which must be followed to
avoid damage to components.
NOTE: This calls attention to methods
which make a job easier or gives helpful
information.
DIMENSIONS
The dimensions quoted are to design engineering
specification. Alternative unit equivalents, shown in
brackets following the dimensions, have been
converted from the original specification.REFERENCES
References to the left or right hand side in the manual
are made when viewing the vehicle from the rear.
With the engine and gearbox assembly removed, the
water pump end of the engine is referred to as the
front.
To reduce repetition, some operations covered in this
Manual do not include reference to testing the vehicle
after repair.
It is essential that work is inspected and tested after
completion and if necessary a road test of the vehicle
is carried out particularly where safety related items
are concerned.
REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS
When replacement parts are required it is essential
that Land Rover parts are used.
Attention is particularly drawn to the following points
concerning repairs and the fitting of replacement parts
and accessories: Safety features embodied in the
vehicle may be impaired if other than Land Rover
parts are fitted. In certain territories, legislation
prohibits the fitting of parts not to the vehicle
manufacturer's specification. Torque spanner values
given in the Workshop Manual must be strictly
adhered to. Locking devices, where specified, must be
fitted. If the efficiency of a locking device is impaired
during removal it must be replaced with a new one.
Certain fasteners must not be re-used. These
fasteners are specified in the Workshop Manual.
POISONOUS SUBSTANCES
Many liquids and other substances used are
poisonous and therefore must not be consumed. It is
also advisable to keep all substances away from open
wounds. These substances among others include
anti-freeze, brake fluid, fuel, windscreen washer
additives, air conditioning refrigerant, lubricants and
various adhesives.

STEERING
3
FAULT DIAGNOSIS STEERING DAMPER
The power steering system, as well as reducing the
effort required to manoeuvre the vehicle when
parking, also helps to dampen any deflections of the
road wheels, being transmitted back to the steering
wheel.
When operating the vehicle off road, the road wheels
are often deflected by ruts and boulders causing the
steering wheel to turn left and right. This phenomenon
is known as 'steering kickback'. To subdue the effects
of 'steering kickback', a hydraulic damper is fitted in
the steering linkage between the track rod and the
differential casing. The damper, which offers the same
resistance in extension and compression, is sealed for
life.
Steering damper check
Check the condition operation of the hydraulic
steering damper as follows:
Check procedure
1.Inspect damper for casing damage or leaks.
2.Clamp one end of the damper horizontally in a
vice using soft jaws. Compress and extend the
unit by hand. Resistance should be equal in both
directions.
3.If it is felt that the unit is outside acceptable
limits, fit a new steering damperSTEERING FAULTS
Symptom:-
Excessive kickback through steering wheel - when
driven on rough terrain.
1.Is the steering damper in good working order?
See Steering Damper
NO - Renew unit.See Repair, Steering
Damper
YES - Continue.
2.Is there any looseness or free play in the
steering ball joints and linkage?
YES -
See Steering Linkage Inspect
NO - Continue.
3.Is there any looseness or worn bushes in front
suspension?
YES -
See FRONT SUSPENSION, Repair,
Radius Arm
NOTE: When replacing suspension bushes
ALL bushes and fixings must be replaced.
NO - Continue.
4.Is the steering exceptionally light/sensitive when
driven on good road surface?
YES - See fault symptom -Steering
excessively light/sensitive and
freeplay at steering wheel.
NO - Suspect axle swivel resistance.
5.Check the resistance of the axle swivels.
