Brake bleed
$% 70.25.02
Check
1.The following procedure covers bleeding the
complete system but where only the primary or
secondary circuit have been disturbed in
isolation, it should only be necessary to bleed
that system. Partial bleeding of the hydraulic
system is only permissible if a brake pipe or
hose has been disconnected with only minor
loss of fluid.
CAUTION: Ensure the fluid in the reservoir
is maintained between the minimum and
maximum levels throughout the bleed
procedure using new brake fluid.
Adjust
1.Raise front and rear of vehicle.
WARNING: Do not work on or under a
vehicle supported only by a jack. Always
support the vehicle on safety stands.
2.Check all pipe and hose connections are tight
and there are no signs of leakage.
3.Top-up fluid level in brake reservoir to 'MAX'
mark.

+ MAINTENANCE, MAINTENANCE,
Brake Fluid.
CAUTION: Never re-use fluid that has been
bled from the system.
4.Bleed sequence: LH front to RH front, LH rear
to RH rear.
CAUTION: Use only new brake fluid of the
recommended grade.5.Attach bleed tube to front brake caliper bleed
screw on passenger side, submerge free end in
a clear container containing brake fluid.
CAUTION: Brake fluid will damage paint
finished surfaces. If spilled, immediately
remove fluid and clean area with water.
6.Apply pressure to brake pedal several times,
then apply steady pressure.
7.Loosen bleed screw to release brake fluid and
air. Allow pedal to return unassisted.
8.Depress brake pedal steadily through its full
stroke and allow to return unassisted. Repeat
procedure until a flow of clean air-free fluid is
purged into container then, whilst holding pedal
at end of downward stroke tighten bleed screw
to 10 Nm (7.5 lbf.ft) on calipers and 8 Nm (6
lbf.ft) on wheel cylinders.
CAUTION: Ensure the fluid in the reservoir
is maintained between the minimum and
maximum levels throughout the bleed
procedure using new brake fluid.
9.Top up brake system reservoir.
10.Repeat procedure at each wheel in the
sequence shown.
WARNING: Braking efficiency may be
seriously impaired if the incorrect bleed
sequence is used.
11.Remove tube from bleed screw and fit bleed
screw dust cap.
12.Apply brakes and check for leakage.
13.Remove stands and lower vehicle.
14.Road test vehicle. Check brake pedal for short
firm travel when brakes are applied.

BODY SEALING MATERIALS
77-3-6 APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
Cooper Pegler Falcon Junior Pneumatic Gun (Airless)
Intended primarily for applying transit wax, this pneumatic sprayer has a 5-litre container with integral hand pump and
provides an effective means of wax spraying without the need for compressed air or additional services.
A selection of nozzles, lances, hose lengths and a trigger valve assembly with integral filter allows flexibility in use.
Additional applications include general maintenance, wax injection and paint application. Heavy-bodied materials
may also be applied. All parts are fully replaceable and a wide range of nozzle configurations is available.
SATA Schutz Gun Model UBE
The SATA Schutz Gun is approved for the retreatment of vehicle underbody areas with protective coatings as
supplied in 1 litre, purpose-designed 'one-way' containers. The screw thread fitting (female on the gun) is standard
to most Schutz-type packs.
Full operating details are supplied with the equipment.
SATA HKD1 Wax Injection Injection Equipment
This equipment is approved for carrying out cavity wax re-treatment. The SATA HKD1 set comprises a high quality
forged gun with 1-litre pressure feed container, a flexible nylon lance, a straight 1100mm steel lance and hooked-
wand lance. A quick-change coupling is provided as a standard fitting to allow lances to be easily interchanged. Each
lance has an integral, machined nozzle with specialised spray characteristics to suit the type of box section to be
treated.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND SEALING
SEALING 77-4-9
Inspections during maintenance servicing
It is a requirement of the Corrosion Warranty that the vehicle body is checked for corrosion by an authorised Land
Rover Dealer at least once a year, to ensure that the factory-applied protection remains effective.
Service Job Sheets include the following operations to check bodywork for corrosion:
lWith the vehicle on a lift, carry out visual check of underbody sealer for damage.
lWith the vehicle lowered, inspect exterior paintwork for damage and body panels for corrosion.
The vehicle must be washed and free from deposits prior to inspection. It is part of the owner's responsibility to ensure
that the vehicle is kept free of accumulations of mud which could accelerate the onset of corrosion. It will be necessary
for the vehicle to be washed by the Dealer prior to inspection of bodywork if the customer has offered the vehicle in
a dirty condition. Particular attention should be paid to areas where access is difficult.
The checks described above are intended to be visual only. It is not intended that the operator should remove trim
panels, finishers, rubbing strips or sound-deadening materials when checking the vehicle for corrosion and paint
damage.
With the vehicle on a lift, and using an inspection or spot lamp, visually check for the following:
lCorrosion damage and damaged paintwork, condition of underbody sealer on front and rear lower panels, sills
and wheel arches.
lDamage to underbody sealer. Corrosion in areas adjacent to suspension mountings and fuel tank fixings.
The presence of small blisters in underbody sealer is acceptable, providing they do not expose bare metal.
Pay special attention to signs of damage caused to panels or corrosion protection material by incorrect jack
positioning.
caut : It is essential to follow the correct jacking and lifting procedures.
With the vehicle lowered, visually check for evidence of damage and corrosion on all visible painted areas, in
particular the following:
lFront edge of bonnet.
lVisible flanges in engine compartment.
lLower body and door panels.
Rectify any bodywork damage or evidence of corrosion found during inspection as soon as is practicable, both to
minimise the extent of the damage and to ensure the long term effectiveness of the factory-applied corrosion
prevention treatment. Where the cost of rectification work is the owner's responsibility, the Dealer must advise the
owner and endorse the relevant documentation accordingly.
Where corrosion has become evident and is emanating from beneath a removable component (e.g. trim panel,
window glass, seat etc.), remove the component as required to permit effective rectification.
