Joints and Joint Faces
General
Fit joints dry unless specified otherwise.
lAlways use the correct gaskets as specified.
lWhen jointing compound is used, apply in a thin
uniform film to metal surfaces; take care to
prevent jointing compound from entering
oilways, pipes or blind tapped holes.
lIf gaskets and/or jointing compound is
recommended for use; remove all traces of old
jointing material prior to reassembly. Do not use
a tool which will damage the joint faces and
smooth out any scratches or burrs using an oil
stone. Do not allow dirt or jointing material to
enter any tapped holes or enclosed parts.
lPrior to reassembly, blow through any pipes,
channels or crevices with compressed air.
Locking Devices
General
Always replace locking devices with one of the same
design.
Tab washers
Always release locking tabs and fit new locking
washers. Do not re-use locking tabs.
Locking nuts
Always use a backing spanner when loosening or
tightening locking nuts, brake and fuel pipe unions.
Roll pins
Always fit new roll pins of an interference fit in the
hole.
Circlips
Always fit new circlips of the correct size for the
groove.
Keys and keyways
Remove burrs from edges of keyways with a fine file
and clean thoroughly before attempting to refit key.
Clean and inspect key closely; keys are suitable for
refitting only if indistinguishable from new, as any
indentation may indicate the onset of wear.

GENERAL INFORMATION
03-19
WARNING: Do not use rear facing child seats in
the front passenger seat if the vehicle is fitted
with a passenger airbag.
WARNING: It is imperative that before any work
is undertaken on the SRS system the appropriate
information is read thoroughly.
WARNING: Replace the airbag every 10 years.
Do not install used SRS parts from another car.
When repairing an SRS system, always use
approved new parts.
Carefully inspect the airbag module before
installing it. Do not install an airbag module that
shows signs of being dropped or improperly
handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation.
Do not try to disassemble or tamper with the
airbag module.
Special bolts are necessary for installing the
airbag module. Do not use other bolts.
Preliminary procedures
The SRS system uses energy reserve capacitors
that keep the system active in the event of electrical
supply failure under crash conditions. It is necessary
to allow the capacitors sufficient time to discharge in
order to avoid the risk of accidental deployment.
Always remove the ignition key from the starter
switch, disconnect the vehicle battery and wait 10
minutes before commencing work on the SRS
system.
Carefully inspect any SRS component before
installation. Do not install any SRS component that
shows signs of damage such as dents, cracks or
deformity.Component handling
The SRS components are sensitive and potentially
hazardous if not handled correctly; always comply
with the following handling precautions:
lNever drop an SRS component. The airbag
Diagnostic Control Unit (DCU) is a particularly
shock sensitive device and must be handled
with extreme care. Airbag modules and seat belt
pretensioner units could deploy if subjected to a
strong shock.
lNever wrap your arms around an airbag
module. If an airbag module has to be carried,
hold it by the cover, with the cover uppermost
and the base away from your body.
lNever transport airbag modules or seat belt
pretensioners in the cabin of a vehicle. Always
use the luggage compartment of the vehicle for
carrying airbag modules and seat belt
pretensioner units.
WARNING: The airbag module contains sodium
azide which is poisonous and extremely
flammable. Contact with water, acid or heavy
metals may produce harmful or explosive
compounds. Do not dismantle, incinerate or
bring into contact with electricity, before the unit
has been deployed.

LIFTING AND TOWING
08-2
Before commencing work on underside of vehicle re-
check security of vehicle on stands.
WARNING: Always chock the wheels when
jacking. The hand brake acts on the the
transmission, not the rear wheels, and may be
ineffective when the wheels are off the ground.
Reverse procedure when removing vehicle from
stands.
Hydraulic ramps
Use only a 'drive on' type ramp which supports a
vehicle by it's own road wheels. If a 'wheel free'
condition is required, use a 'drive on' ramp
incorporating a 'wheel free' system that supports
under axle casings. Alternatively, place vehicle on a
firm, flat floor and support on axle stands.
TOWING
Towing
The vehicle has permanent four wheel drive. The
following towing instructions must be adhered
to:
Towing on 4 wheels with driver
Turn ignition key to position '1' to release steering
lock.
Select neutral in main gearbox and transfer gearbox.
Secure tow rope, chain or cable to towing eye.
Release the handbrake.
The brake servo and power assisted steering
system will not be functional without the engine
running. Greater pedal pressure will be required
to apply the brakes, the steering system will
require greater effort to turn the front road
wheels. The vehicle tow connection should be
used only in normal road conditions, 'snatch'
recovery should be avoided.
Suspended tow
To prevent vehicle damage, front or rear
propeller shaft MUST BE removed, dependent
upon which axle is being trailed.
Mark propeller shaft drive flanges at transfer box and
axles with identification lines to enable the propeller
shaft to be refitted in its original position.

LIFTING AND TOWING
08-3
Remove the propeller shaft fixings, remove the shaft
from the vehicle.
If the front axle is to be trailed turn ignition key to
position '1' to release steering lock.
The steering wheel and/or linkage must be
secured in a straight ahead position. DO NOT use
the steering lock mechanism for this purpose.
Towing eyes
The towing eyes at the front and rear of the vehicle
are designed for vehicle recovery purposes only and
must NOT be used to tow a trailer or caravan.
Front:A single towing eye, set behind a removable
panel in the front spoiler. DO NOT use the front
lashing rings for towing.Rear: A pair of towing eyes at the rear of the vehicle
can be used as lashing rings and for towing another
light vehicle.

12-2-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
The V8 petrol engine is an eight cylinder, water cooled unit having two banks of four cylinders positioned at 90 degrees
to each other. The engine comprises five main castings - two cylinder heads, cylinder block, timing cover and the oil
sump, all of which are manufactured from aluminium alloy.
NAS market vehicles from 03 model year receive a 4.6 litre version of the V8 engine to replace the previous 4.0 litre
version.
Cylinder heads
The cylinder heads are fitted with replaceable valve guides and valve seat inserts with the combustion chambers
formed in the head. Each cylinder head is sealed to the cylinder block with a gasket. The exhaust manifolds are bolted
to the outside of each cylinder head whilst the inlet manifolds are located in the centre of the 'Vee' and are bolted to
the inside face of each head. Inlet and exhaust manifolds are sealed to the cylinder heads by means of gaskets.
Each cylinder has a single inlet and exhaust valve. The exhaust valves are of the 'carbon break' type, a recess on the
valve stem prevents a build-up of carbon in the valve guide by dislodging particles of carbon as the valve stem moves
up and down the guide. Inlet and exhaust valve stem oil seals are fitted at the top of each valve guide. Valve operation
is by means of rocker arms, push rods and hydraulic tappets. Each of the rocker arms is located on a rocker shaft
which is supported by means of pedestals bolted to the cylinder heads. A spring, positioned on either side of each
rocker arm, maintains the correct relative position of the arm to its valve stem. The rocker arms are operated directly
by the push rods which pass through drillings in the cylinder heads and cylinder block. The bottom end of each push
rod locates in a hydraulic tappet operated by the single, chain driven camshaft.
The rocker covers are bolted to the cylinder heads and are sealed to the heads by a rubber gasket. Stub pipes for
crankcase ventilation hose connections are fitted to each rocker cover, the pipe in the right hand cover incorporates
an oil separator. The engine oil filler cap is situated in the right hand cover.
Cylinder block and camshaft
The cylinder block is fitted with cast iron cylinder liners which are shrink fitted and locate on stops in the block. The
camshaft is positioned in the centre of the cylinder block and runs in one piece bearing shells which are line bored
after fitting. Camshaft end-float is controlled by a thrust plate bolted to the front of the cylinder block. A timing gear,
chain driven by the crankshaft timing gear is bolted to the front of the camshaft.
Crankshaft and main bearings
The crankshaft is carried in five main bearings. The upper main bearing shell locations are an integral part of the
cylinder block casting. The lower main bearing caps are bolted to the cylinder block on either side of the upper bearing
shell locations with an additional bolt being inserted into each cap from either side of the cylinder block. The rear
main bearing cap carries the crankshaft rear oil seal and is sealed to the cylinder block by means of cruciform shaped
seals in each side of the cap. Number four main bearing cap carries the stud fixing for the oil pick-up pipe. Lower
main bearing shells are plain whilst the upper shells have an oil feed hole and are grooved. Crankshaft end-float is
controlled by the thrust faces of the upper centre shell. The crankshaft timing gear is located on the front of the
crankshaft by means of a Woodruff key which is also used to drive the gear type oil pump. The flywheel/drive plate
carries the crankshaft position sensor reluctor ring and is dowel located and bolted to the flywheel.
Timing cover
The timing cover is bolted to the front of the cylinder block and is sealed to the block with a gasket. The disposable,
full flow oil filter canister is screwed on to the timing cover which also carries the oil pressure switch, oil pressure relief
valve and crankshaft front oil seal. The gear type oil pump is integral with the cover which also has an internal oilway
to direct oil from the oil cooler to the filter.
NOTE: Oil coolers are only fitted to vehicles up to VIN 756821.
