Fuel System Hoses

Fuel System Hoses

CAUTION: All fuel hoses are made up of two laminations, an armoured rubber outer sleeve and an inner viton core. If any of the fuel system hoses have been disconnected, it is imperative that the internal bore is inspected to ensure that the viton lining has not become separated from the armoured outer sleeve. A new hose must be fitted if separation is evident.

SERVICE TOOLS AND GARAGE EQUIPMENT

Special service tools have been developed to facilitate removal, dismantling and assembly of mechanical components in a cost effective and time efficient manner. The use of such special tools also helps prevent the potential for damage to components. Some operations described in this Manual cannot be carried out properly without the aid of the relevant service tools.

Where specific garage equipment is required for diagnosis and repair, reference should be made to the Service Tools and Equipment Programme where details of the equipment recommended by Land Rover Service may be found.

DYNAMOMETER TESTING - NON ANTI-LOCK BRAKE VEHICLES

The front and rear wheels cannot be driven independently due to the viscous coupling. This eliminates the need for differential lock by progressively applying more torque to the rear wheels if the front wheels start to slip.

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to drive individual wheels with vehicle supported on floor jacks or stands.

Four wheel dynamometers

Provided that front and rear dynamometer rollers are rotating at identical speeds and that normal workshop safety standards are applied, there is no speed restriction during testing, except any that may apply to the tyres.

Two wheel dynamometers

IMPORTANT: Use a four wheel dynamometer for brake testing if possible.

If brake testing on a single rig is necessary, the following procedures should be ensured:

• propeller shaft to the rear axle is removed
• neutral selected in gearbox
• hill descent control not selected.

When checking brakes, run engine at idle speed to maintain servo vacuum.
