Operating the jack
Slot the jack lever together, ensuring that the
spring clip protrudes from the engagement
slot where the two parts join (see inset). Close
the jack release valve by turning it fully
clockwise and insert the lever into the socket
as shown. Pump the lever up and down to
raise the jack.
To lower the jack, withdraw the lever and slot
the notched end over the the pegs on the
release valve. Slowly turn the release valve
anti-clockwise allowing the weight of the
vehicle to lower the jack.
WARNING
·
Ensure the jack is positioned on firm,
level ground.
·
DO NOT use the jack to raise the vehicle
until you have carefully read and
understood Positioning the jack later in
this section. If in doubt, consult your
dealer.
·
Care must be taken to avoid accidental
contact with any underbody parts,
especially the hot exhaust system
components, likely to cause personal
injury during raising or lowering of the
vehicle.
·
Ensure that the space under and around
the vehicle is free from obstruction as it
is lowered. 
						

							Wheel changing
127 Positioning the jack
Always position the jack from the front or rear
of the vehicle directly in line with the jacking
points.
WARNING
·
NEVER use the jack from the side of the
vehicle.
·
ALWAYS use the complete, two piece,
jack lever throughout to minimise any
chance of accidental contact with a hot
exhaust system.
·
ONLY jack the vehicle using the jack
location points described or damage to
the vehicle could occur.
Front jacking point:
Position the jack so that, when raised, it
engages with the front axle casing
immediately below the coil spring. The jack
cradle must engage between the flange at the
end of the axle casing and the large bracket to
which the front suspension members are
mounted (see inset).
Rear jacking point:
Push the mud flap up over the tyre to allow
clear access (return it to its correct position
when the wheel change is complete). Position
the jack so that, when raised, it engages with
the rear axle casing immediately below the coil
spring and as close as possible to the shock
absorber mounting bracket.
Changing a wheel
Before raising the vehicle, ensure that all the
precautions listed at the beginning of this
section have been observed. Also, ensure that
the wheel chock is correctly positioned (as
described previously).
In some markets, vehicles fitted with alloy
wheels have one locking wheel nut fitted to
each wheel. Refer to Locking wheel nuts later
in this section before changing an alloy wheel.·
Use the wheel nut wrench to slacken the
wheel nuts half a turn anti-clockwise.
·
Raise the vehicle until the tyre is clear of
the ground, and remove the wheel nuts
and wheel nuts fitted to each wheel (DO
NOT damage the surface of the wheel by
placing them face down on the road). 
						

							Wheel changing
128
·
On alloy wheels, lightly oil or grease
(using an approved anti-seize compound)
the wheel-mounting spigot to minimise
the tendency for adhesion between the
wheel and the spigot. Ensure that no oil or
compound comes into contact with the
brake components. If, due to an
emergency situation, this treatment is not
practicable; refit the spare wheel for the
time being, but remove and treat the wheel
at the earliest opportunity.
·
Fit the spare wheel and lightly tighten the
wheel nuts, ensuring they are firmly
seated. DO NOT fully tighten whilst the
tyre is clear of the ground.
WARNING
When fitting a wheel, ensure that the mating
faces of the hub and wheel are clean and
free from rust - an accumulation of dirt or
rust could cause the wheel nuts to become
loose and result in an accident.
·
Lower the vehicle and remove the jack and
wheel chock.
·
Fully tighten the wheel nuts. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN by using foot pressure or
extension bars on the wheel nut wrench,
as this could overstress the wheel studs.
·
REMEMBER to disengage the differential
lock and change to H (high range) before
driving.
·
Finally, check the tyre pressure and wheel
nut torque at the earliest opportunity, see
General data.
Care of the jack
Examine the jack occasionally, clean and
grease the moving parts, particularly the ram,
to prevent corrosion.
To avoid contamination, the jack should
always be returned to its fully closed position
and must always be stowed upright.
WARNING
After wheel changing, always secure tools,
chock, jack and spare wheel in their correct
storage positions.

129 LOCKING WHEEL NUTS
In some markets, vehicles fitted with alloy
wheels are equipped with a locking wheel nut
on each wheel (including the spare). The
locking wheel nut covers are visually very
similar to standard wheel nuts but can be
identified by a concave indent on the surface.
The locking wheel nut and cover can only be
removed using the special tools provided, as
follows:
·
Push the extractor tool (1) firmly over the
stainless steel nut cover (2).
·
Pull the extractor toolsquarelyaway from
the wheel to remove the nut cover and
reveal the locking wheel nut (3).
·
Fit the metal key socket (4) securely over
the locking wheel nut (3).
·
Fit the wheel nut wrench onto the key
socket and unscrew the nut in the normal
way.
A code letter is stamped on the face of the key
socket. Ensure the code letter is entered in the
space provided on your Security Information
card - you will need to quote this number if
replacement components are required. Keep
the card in a safe place away from the vehicle.
For security reasons, do not keep the key
socket and extractor tool in the glovebox;
store them in a less conspicuous place in the
vehicle.
NOTE:
If the extractor tool has been
inadvertently pushed onto a standard wheel
nut, it can be removed ONLY by first undoing
and removing the nut; slide the wheel nut
wrench down the centre of the extractor and
onto the wheel nut. 
						

							Wading plugs

Engine front timing cover - 300TdiFlywheel housing - 300Tdi
Flywheel housing - V8i & Mpi
Drain holes
Manual gearbox models are provided with
drain holes at the lowest point of the flywheel
housing (between engine and gearbox). In
addition, 300 Tdi models also have a drain
hole at the bottom of the engine timing cover.
These drain holes enable excess oil to drain
from the vehicle, thereby reducing the risk of
inadvertent damage to the clutch or camshaft
drive belt.
If the vehicle is to be used for wading, ensure
that wading plugs are fitted where indicated to
prevent the ingress of water or mud. Remove
wading plugs immediately after wading or
periodically to enable oil or water to drain
from the housing. Wading plugs are available
from a Land Rover dealer. 
						

							Wading plugs
131 Automatic models
NOTE:
The flywheel housing is completely
sealed to exclude mud and water and there is
no requirement to fit a wading plug.
WARNING
For safety, DO NOT work underneath the
vehicle unless it is safely parked with the
wheels chocked, or is supported by heavy
duty stands. 
						

							Fuse box
132 FUSE BOX
Fuses are simple circuit breakers which
protect electrical equipment by preventing the
electrical circuits from being overloaded. A
blown fuse is indicated when the electrical
equipment it protects becomes inoperative.
Check a suspect fuse by removing it from the
fuse box and looking for a break in the wire
inside the fuse (see inset).
The main fusebox is fitted below and to one
side of the steering column; remove the cover
by releasing the fixing screws using a coin or
small screwdriver.
Renewing a fuse
Always turn the starter switch to position O
and switch off the affected electrical circuit
before removing a fuse.Press the fuse removal tweezers onto the
head of a fuse (as shown) and pull. Always
replace a fuse with another of the same value,
however, if the replacement fuse blows
immediately the circuit MUST be checked by a
Land Rover dealer.
Fuses are colour coded to help identify their
amperage, as follows:
VIOLET 3
TAN 5
BROWN 7.5
RED 10
BLUE 15
YELLOW 20
WHITE 25
GREEN 30
A label in the fuse box cover shows the
circuits protected, the fuse values and their
locations. They are also listed on the following
page.
