torque LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 1995 Workshop Manual

INTRODUCTION
1
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.

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].

GENERAL FITTING REMINDERS
7
INFORMATION COTTER PINS
1.Fit new cotter pins throughout when replacing
any unit.
2.Always fit cotter pins where cotter pins were
originally used. Do not substitute spring
washers: there is always a good reason for the
use of a cotter pin.
3.All cotter pins should be fitted as shown unless
otherwise stated.
NUTS
1.When tightening a slotted or castellated nut
never loosen it back to insert cotter pin or locking
wire except in those recommended cases where
this forms part of an adjustment. If difficulty is
experienced, alternative washers or nuts should
be selected, or washer thickness reduced.
2.Where self-locking nuts have been removed it is
advisable to replace them with new ones of the
same type.
NOTE: Where bearing pre-load is involved
nuts should be tightened in accordance
with special instructions.
LOCKING WIRE
1.Fit new locking wire of the correct type for all
assemblies incorporating it.
2.Arrange wire so that its tension tends to tighten
the bolt heads, or nuts, to which it is fitted.SCREW THREADS
1.Both UNF and Metric threads to ISO standards
are used. See below for thread identification.
2.Damaged threads must always be discarded.
Cleaning up threads with a die or tap impairs the
strength and closeness of fit of the threads and
is not recommended.
3.Always ensure that replacement bolts are at
least equal in strength to those replaced.
4.Do not allow oil, grease or jointing compound to
enter blind threaded holes. The hydraulic action
on screwing in the bolt or stud could split the
housing.
5.Always tighten a nut or bolt to the recommended
torque value. Damaged or corroded threads can
affect the torque reading.
6.To check or re-tighten a bolt or screw to a
specified torque value first loosen a quarter of a
turn, then re-tighten to the correct value.
7.Oil thread lightly before tightening to ensure a
free running thread, except in the case of
threads treated with sealant/lubricant, and
self-locking nuts.
UNIFIED THREAD IDENTIFICATION
1. Bolts
A circular recess is stamped in the upper surface
of the bolt head.
2. Nuts
A continuous line of circles is indented on one of
the flats of the hexagon, parallel to the axis of
the nut.
3. Studs, Brake Rods, etc.
The component is reduced to the core diameter
for a short length at its extremity.
