INFORMATION
D.Connect other end of second jumper cable to a
good earth point on the engine,NOT TO
NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF DISCHARGED
BATTERY.Keep jumper lead away from moving
parts, pulleys, drive belts and fan blade
assembly.
WARNING: Making final cable connection
could cause an electrical arc which if
made near battery could cause an
explosion.
3.If booster battery is installed in another vehicle,
start engine and allow to idle.
4.Start engine of vehicle with discharged battery,
following starting procedure in Owners' Manual.
CAUTION: If vehicle fails to start within a
maximum time of 12 seconds, switch
ignition off and investigate cause. Failing
to follow this instruction could result in
irrepairable damage to catalysts.
5.Remove negative (-) jumper cable from the
engine and then terminal of booster battery.
6.Remove positive (+) jumper cable from positive
terminals of booster battery and discharged
battery.

INFORMATION FAULT DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT
TESTBOOK
Todays Land Rover Vehicles are equipped with a
large amount of electronics to provide the best
performance of the vehicles systems.
Diagnostic equipment named TESTBOOK is available
to expand the diagnostic abilities of the dealer
workshop. This repair manual is produced with
Testbook in mind.
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.
ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING MANUAL
The Electrical Troubleshooting Manual is a separate
publication that is intended for use by trained Land
Rover technicians as an aid to diagnosing electrical
concerns.
It provides circuit diagrams, system diagnosis flow
charts, electrical component location tables, electrical
component location views and circuit operation
details.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.
Service tools.
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
V8i drive belt. A cross reference sites this information
in: Section: V8i Engine
- Sub-section: Repairs
- Heading: Drive belt renew.
Sections that contain derivatives such as engines are
further separated within that section.
American terminology.
A few words used in this manual differ to words used
in America. Where this occurs the American word is
placed inside brackets. For example: bonnet [hood],
wing [fender], ramp [hoist].
