INTRODUCTION

How To Use This Manual

Introduction
This Manual is designed to assist skilled technicians 
in the efficient repair and maintenance of Discovery 
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.

General
To assist in the use of this Manual, it is divided into 
sections and sub-sections. The section title is given 
at the top of each page and the relevant sub-section 
is given at the bottom.

There is a single contents section at the front of the 
Manual, which is divided by section and sub-section. 
Each section is numbered from page 1.

The individual items comprising repair operations are 
to be followed in the sequence in which they appear. 
Items numbers in the illustration are referred to in the 
text. 

Adjustment and Repair operations include reference 
to Service tool numbers and the associated 
illustration depicts the  tool in use. Adjustment and 
repair operations also include reference to wear 
limits, relevant data, torque figures, and specialist 
information and useful assembly details. Each 
adjustment or repair operation is given its Service 
Repair Operation number.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS  and NOTES  have the 
following meanings:

WARNING: Procedures which must be followed 
precisely to avoid the possibility of injury.

CAUTION: Calls attention to procedures which 
must be followed to avoid damage to 
components.

NOTE: Gives helpful information.

References
References to the LH or RH side given in this Manual 
are made when viewing the vehicle from the rear. 
With the engine and gearbox assembly removed, the 
crankshaft pulley end of the engine is referred to as 
the front. 

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.

Dimensions
The dimensions quoted are to design engineering 
specification with Service limits where applicable.
