							MAINTENANCE 
WORKSHOP MAINTENANCE  SCHEDULES 
The following  maintenance  should  be carried out by trained  personnel  in a fully  equipped  workshop.  If the 
vehicle  is operating  in a  remote  area  where  workshop facilities  are  not available,  maintenance  and  repair work 
should  be carried  out by experienced  mechanics in safe  conditions.  Maintenance should  normally  be carried  out 
at  7,500  miles  (12,000 km)  intervals  or six  months,  whichever  is  first, as described  in the  following  schedules, 
In  severe  conditions,  such as deep  mud or sand,  or a very  dusty  atmosphere,  the  intervals should be reduced 
to  monthly,  weekly  or even daily  for some  items.  Ask your  Dealer  for advice. 
WARNING:  DO NOT  use any lubricants  solvents or sealants  etc, before  reading  any warnings  and 
instructions  supplied with these  substances,  as they  could  be harmful if  improperly  used. 
WARNING:  Two wheel  roller tests (Dynamometer)  must be restricted  to 5 km/hour  (3 miles/hour).  DO 
NOT engage the differential lock or the vehicle will drive off the roller test rig because the Defender 110 
is a permanent  4 wheel  drive. 
WARNING:  Use care  when  draining  oil from  the engine,  gearbox  and axles,  if it  is  hot  it could  cause 
personal  scalding. 
WARNING:  DO NOT  work  underneath  the vehicle  unless it is safely parked  and the wheels  chocked,  or 
it is supported  by heavy  duty stands,  otherwise  the vehicle  could move causing  personal  injury.

							MAINTENANCE 
It is  recommended  that: 
At 15,000 mile (24,000 km) intervals  or every 18 months,  whichever  is the  sooner,  the hydraulic  brake and 
clutch  fluid should 
be completely  renewed. 
At 37,500 mile (60,000 km) intervals  or every  3 years,  which ever is the  sooner,  all hydraulic  brake and fluid, 
seals  and flexible  hoses should  be renewed,  all working  surfaces  of the  master  cylinder,  wheel cylinders  and 
caliper  cylinders  should be examined  and renewed  where necessary. 
At 37,500  mile (60,000 km) intervals  remove all suspension  dampers, test for correct  operation,  refit or renew 
as  necessary. 
At two year  intervals  or at the  onset  of the  second  winter, the cooling  system  should be drained,  flushed and 
refilled  with the required  water and anti
-freeze  solution. 
The  battery  electrolyte  level should  be checked  and topped  up 
if required 
once  a year  in tropical  and sub
-tropical  climates 
once  every  three years  in temperate  climates. 
NOTE: Climatic  and operating  conditions  affect maintenance  intervals to a large extent:  in many  cases, 
therefore,  the determination 
of such  intervals  must be left to the  good  judgement  of the  owner  or to 
advice  from an Authorised  Dealer but the  recommendations will serve  as a firm  basis  for maintenance 
work. 
Vehicles  operating  under arduous  conditions  will require  more frequent  servicing,  therefore,  at a minimum,  the 
Maintenance  intervals should be reduced  by half. 
For  low  mileage  vehicles  it is  recommended  that the maintenance  is carried  out at 
6 months  intervals. 
The  owner  need not perform  recommended  maintenance 
in order to maintain the emission  warranty or 
manufacturer  recall liability. 
SPECIAL  OPERATING  CONDITIONS 
When the vehicle  is operated in extremely  arduous conditions or on dusty,  wet or muddy  terrain,  more frequent 
attention  should 
be paid to all servicing  requirements. 
ADDITIONAL  DAILY OR WEEKLY  ATTENTION  DEPENDING ON OPERATING  CONDITIONS: 
Check/top-up transfer box oil. 
Check steering  rubber boots for security  and condition.  Renew if damaged. 
Check  brake fluid level:  consult  your Dealer 
if any fluid  loss is suspected. 
Clean  brake discs and calipers. 
Lubricate  front and rear  propeller  shaft grease  points and front  sliding  joint. Under  tropical  or severe  conditions, 
particularly  where sand 
is encountered,  the sliding  joints must be lubricated  very frequently to prevent  ingress 
of  abrasive  material. 
Every  week and every  maintenance  inspection check tyre pressures  and inspect  tyre treads  and side  walls. 
Under  arduous  cross
-country conditions  the tyre  pressures  should be checked much more frequently,  even to 
the extent  of a daily  check. 
MONTHLY 
Renew  gearbox  oil. 
Renew  transfer  box oil. 
Check  air cleaner  element  and renew  every 
6 months  or as  necessary.
