Use of Land Rover Tools for Valve Guide Cleaning
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
Range Rover (LH & LP) All
Discovery (LJ & LT) All
Defender (LD) All
SITUATION:
CYLINDER HEAD OVERHAUL DIFFICULTIES
Cylinder head overhauls, particularly in cases of exhaust valve sticking, have previously been carried out using a single Valve Guide Cleaner
(LRA-12-003) as directed in the Land Rover V8 Engine Overhaul Manual. The use of the single cleaner has in some cases been difficult. Also repeat
valve stick failures due to further carbon build-up over time have occurred.
RESOLUTION:
STEPPED SET OF VALVE GUIDE CLEANER TOOLS
Land Rover has now introduced a stepped set of three cleaners, designed to increase the exhaust valve guide internal diameter by 10 microns
(0.0004"), and to ensure that all carbon and valve guide material can be removed as easily as possible.
The process set out in this TIB should always be used where exhaust valve stick is suspected or confirmed to have occurred. This process replaces
the exhaust valve guide process described in the Engine Overhaul Manual and should be used for all valve replacement and cylinder head overhaul
processes.
TOOL INFORMATION
WARRANTY CLAIMS
Normal warranty policy and procedures apply.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Vehicles with Bosch Engine Management systems require Prior Authorization before performing valve stick repairs.
1. Confirm exhaust valve stick occurrence by identifying appropriate misfire codes via TestBook.
2. Remove rocker shaft and valve springs.
3. Verify sticking exhaust valve diagnosis before head removal by manually moving the valves.
4. Refer to the Land Rover Engine Overhaul Manual on latest RAVE CD and remove cylinder heads.
5. Remove inlet and exhaust valves.
CAUTION:
The Valve Guide Cleaners are hand tools only, and MUST NOT be used with any power tool. Use of power tools will lead to premature
wear of the tool and damage to the valve guide.
14
CAUTION:
The process outlined in Steps 6 through 8 should be used to clean exhaust valve guides only. Perform intake valve guide cleaning as
described in Step 9.
NOTE:
Cleaner LRA-12-008 is designed to match the nominal size of the valve guide. It is possible that a small amount of valve guide material
will be removed from valve guides that are manufactured at the lower end of the tolerance band.
6. Insert cleaner LRA-12-008 by hand into each exhaust valve guide from the combustion face side of the cylinder head using T-handle
LRA-12-005.
^ Turn cleaner carefully clockwise to clear out all carbon deposits from the guide.
^ Continue turning until the cleaner can be withdrawn from the other end of the guide to prevent burrs being formed on the inner diameter of
the guide.
^ Clear out all loose material from the valve guides using the valve guide brush LRA-12-004.
^ Ensure that no carbon deposits or valve guide material remain inside the guides.
NOTE:
Cleaner LRA-12-003 is designed to enlarge the valve guide to the top of the tolerance band. A small amount of valve guide material is
likely to be removed during this process.
7. Insert cleaner LRA-12-003 by hand from the combustion face side of the cylinder head using T-handle LRA-12-005.
^ Turn cleaner carefully clockwise.
^ Continue turning until the cleaner can be withdrawn from the other end of the guide.
^ Clear out all loose material from the valve guides using the valve guide brush LRA-12-004.
^ Ensure that no deposits or valve guide material remain inside the guides.
NOTE:
Cleaner LRA-12-007 is designed to enlarge the valve guide to 10 microns (0.0004") oversize. A small amount of valve guide material will
be removed during this process.
8. Insert cleaner LRA-12-007 by hand from the combustion face side of the cylinder head using T-handle LRA-12-005.
^ Turn cleaner carefully clockwise.
^ Continue turning until the cleaner can be withdrawn from the other end of the guide.
^ Clear out all loose material from the valve guides using the valve guide brush LRA-12-004.
^ Ensure that no valve guide material remains inside the guides.
9. If carbon deposits are present in the inlet valve guides, insert cleaner LRA-12-003 by hand into each valve guide using T-handle LRA-12-005.
^ Turn cleaner carefully clockwise to clear out all carbon deposits from the guide.
^ Continue turning until the cleaner can be withdrawn from the other end of the guide.
^ Clear out all loose material from the valve guides using the valve guide brush LRA-12-004.
^ Ensure that no carbon deposits or valve guide material remain inside the guides.
10. Clean all carbon deposits from both inlet and exhaust valves, including the valve stems.
15
NOTE:
Exhaust valves should only be replaced with new items if the existing exhaust valves are not of the "carbon-break" type or the valve is
damaged. Carbon-break valves are easily identified by the reduced diameter section on the valve stem just above the valve head (Figure 1).
Valve replacement is unnecessary in most cases.
11. Lap-in all valves using a suitable valve grinding compound.
12. Remove all traces of grinding compound.
13. Assemble cylinder head using new valve stem seals on all valves.
14. Refer to the Land Rover Engine Overhaul Manual and install the cylinder heads.
15. Start the engine and check for any leaks.
16. Clear any codes stored in the engine ECU, and perform drive cycle C.
17. Check for any newly stored codes using TestBook.
18. If new codes are stored, follow appropriate diagnostic procedures.

Use of Carbaflo XTR5 for Range Rover (LM)
PDI and Scheduled Maintenance
Technical Information Bulletin 76/08/05/NAS introduced the use of Carbaflo XTR5, available under part number LRNXTR5, as a solution for the
squeaking noise sometimes generated by the top "flip-seal" on Range Rover doors. In addition to introducing the new lubricant, TIB 76/08/05/NAS
also more carefully defined the textured flip seal at the top of each door potentially affected by the problem.
That same flip seal should also be lubricated at each PDI and each Scheduled Maintenance Service as a preventative measure. The requirement to
apply a silicon spray lubricant on door flip seals has been replaced by the use of Carbaflo. All Maintenance and PDI Schedules relating to Range
Rover (LM) have been updated on InfoTrail to reflect the use of the newly introduced lubricant. Changes to PDI and Complimentary Scheduled
Maintenance Program reimbursement are being made to compensate for the cost of this special lubricant application.

5. Temporarily secure the centering flange with a suitable nut and bolt. ("B" in Figure 2)
6. Rotate the centering flange to allow the alignment tool to be placed in position (Figure 3).
7. Remove one slider from the alignment tool (LRT-54-032) and set aside.
8. Position the alignment tool into the bushing opening in the transfer gearbox front output flange. (Arrowed in Figure 3)
9. Using a 2 mm Allen wrench, loosen the slider screw so that the slider moves freely along the rule.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to slide the propeller shaft, together with the alignment tool, slightly forwards. This will allow the alignment tool to be
slightly extracted from the locating bush in the transfer gearbox front output flange, to allow clearance.
10. Slide the propeller shaft rearwards until the centering flange nipple is nearly in contact with the alignment tool surface. (Figure 4).
11. Position the alignment tool vertically with the slider below the centering flange nipple.
12. Gently pull the propeller shaft down to its lowest position.
13. Tighten the slider screw to identify the extent of movement.
NOTE:
The alignment tool may have to be rotated into a horizontal position to note the measurement.
14. Record the measurement on the alignment tool, at the inside edge of the slider. (Inset Figure 4).
15. Loosen the slider screw so that the slider moves freely along the rule.

example (Figure 7). This procedure may need to be repeated several times to achieve the desired result.
1. Slide the propeller shaft forwards, release the centering flange securing nut and bolt, rotate the centering flange and remove the alignment tool.
(Figure 3)
NOTE:
The calculated average measurement is the "target" position (maximum up and down) for the propeller shaft in relation to the locating
bushing in the transfer gearbox front output flange.
2. Calculate the average of the up and down recorded measurements to obtain the "target" measurement.
47
3. Release the slider screw on the alignment tool and move the inside edge of the slider to the calculated "target" position.
4. Fully tighten the slider screw with the Allen wrench.
5. Position the alignment tool into the transfer gearbox front output flange locating bushing. (Figure 8).
6. Rotate the centering flange into position and secure with a suitable nut and bolt.
7. Slide the propeller shaft rearwards until it contacts the face of the rule.

slider above the centering flange nipple.
9. If the measured distance was larger above than below the center line of the locating bushing, position the alignment tool vertically with the
slider below the centering flange nipple.
NOTE:
The initial movement of the propeller shaft will be due to the fit of the propeller shaft and the drive tube mating splines. When
approaching the slider, resistance will be felt as the differential moves.
10. Perform differential alignment as follows:
^ Release the four differential attachment bolts sufficiently to secure the differential, but still allow slight rotation on its axis. (Figure 9)
^ Gently push the propeller shaft up or pull the propeller shaft down until the centering flange nipple touches the inside edge of the slider.
^ With assistance, hold the propeller shaft in this position and snugly tighten one of the differential bolts to secure the differential.
^ Verify the measurement above and below the centering flange nipple is equal and the same as the "target" measurement.
11. Repeat adjustments in step 10 up and down as required to achieve equal alignment measurements.
CAUTION:
A Torque wrench MUST be used when tightening the differential attachment bolts to 110 Nm (81 lbf.ft).
12. When the measurement is equal above and below the locating bush within 1 mm of the "target" position, tighten all bolts securing the front
48
differential to 110 Nm (81 lbf.ft).
13. Verify that the measurement above and below the centering flange nipple remain equal after the torque procedure.

Date: 31 October 1997
Model: All
Applicable to: USA/Cda
Subject: Automatic Transmission Filter Replacement Interval
Service Bulletin G97-027 introduces new Maintenance Schedules for the Land Rover product line which simplify the routine maintenance
requirements for all models.
We wish to call to your attention to one of the important changes found in these revised schedules:
^ Effective with this Service Bulletin, the requirement for Automatic Transmission filter replacement has been reduced to once over the lifetime of
the transmission. The change is to be performed at the 30-thousand mile service.
^ All Land Rover products equipped with the ZF automatic transmission produced since 1987 benefit from this change in policy. Reduced
maintenance costs for owners of older Land Rover product is one of the key benefits of this change in policy.
ZF has advised Land Rover that a filter change after the 30-thousand mile service is required only if there is reason to believe the fluid has become
contaminated. If you have questions regarding this matter please contact your Product Support Representative.

DETAIL
The Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) is used to supply the ECM with information used to modify the operation of the fuel and ignition system for the
best economy and emission performance. The HO2S measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust stream as an indication of combustion efficiency.
When the engine is running rich there is very little oxygen in the exhaust, and vice versa.
The H02S operates on a principle similar to temperature sensors. However, unlike like the temperature sensors, the H02S switches quickly as the 02
content of the exhaust changes. The speed of switching is a measure of the serviceability of the sensor. The GEMS sensors have a separate heater
circuit. The sensor will not operate correctly if the heater is not working. Power for the heaters is supplied whenever the key is in the ON position.
56
The ground side of the heater circuit is controlled by the ECM and is switched on and off while the engine is running to maintain a consistent sensor
tip temperature.
When oxygen sensor P-codes are retrieved from TestBook, the Bear Analyzer's Uniscope function can be used in determining if these oxygen sensor
P-codes were caused by the sensor or something upstream of the sensor (i.e. engine, mechanical or fuel system problems, etc.). When no faults are
found after diagnosis of the system, the Snap Throttle test will show if the sensor is capable of operation in normal driving conditions. If the sensor
proves good with this test you should look for the problem elsewhere (i.e., an exhaust leak).
NOTE: The snap throttle test is applicable to upstream sensors only. However, the downstream sensors can be diagnosed if they are moved into the
upstream position.
The diagnostic steps and repair procedures detailed on the following pages were developed as an element of the Land Rover Way OPERATION
PRIDE. This TIB provides a library location for PRIDE information within the Land Rover North America technical literature system.
ACTION REQUIRED
If oxygen sensor P-codes are retrieved, thoroughly check the four heated oxygen sensors (H02S) as outlined below. Then if necessary, perform the
snap throttle test on Upstream sensors.

PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT: The HO2S sensors used on Land Rover GEMS equipped vehicles are very fragile. It is important that the proper handling
guidelines are observed.
The most common sensor used is zirconium based and generates a voltage of up to 1 volt based on the difference between the oxygen in the exhaust
stream and that of the atmosphere.
Land Rover vehicles use a titania based sensor that operates differently. Instead of producing a voltage, the sensor changes resistance in response to
oxygen in the exhaust. A rich mixture creates a low resistance in the sensor and vice versa.
A five volt reference signal is supplied to the sensor. In the case of a rich mixture, the low resistance in the sensor "pulls" the voltage low.
Conversely, a lean (high oxygen content); mixture will cause the sensor to have high resistance and a high voltage. The typical range on a GEMS
equipped vehicle is between less than 1 volt to more than 4 volts.
NOTE: Older vehicles have a three wire sensor that operates on a similar principle with different wiring and different voltage ranges.
DIAGNOSIS
1. Attach TestBook and pull Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC).
2. Access Freeze-Frame data. Fill out DTCR and FAX to LRNA at (301) 731-9814
3. Check the operation of the sensors using Multiple Real Time Monitoring on TestBook.
4. Start engine and set engine to about 2500 rpm for 2 or 3 minutes.
NOTE 1: When the catalytic converters start to operate as the engine warms up, the downstream sensors will not react the same as the upstream
sensors if the converters are operating properly.
NOTE 2: A fixed voltage of 4.99 volts indicates an open circuit in the sensor or sensor circuit
5. Observe HO2S switching activity. The sensors should be switching rapidly between 0 volts and 5 volts Go to Oxygen Sensors/Fuel screen for
57
a faster reading from individual sensors if necessary.
6. If the sensor is not responding, check the heater operation. The heaters are wired in upstream and downstream pairs. A bad heater will result in
a lower voltage displayed in real time. Follow circuit checks below to diagnose.
7. Replace any sensor which is not switching properly.
INSPECTION
1. When sensor voltages do not switch or appear intermittent, the ECM harness connector terminal may have become loose.
2. Disconnect harness and carefully examine the connector terminals.
3. If they are found to be loose, release the terminal from the connector. Press down on tab with a suitable blunt object (ball point pen) enough to
restore the terminal tension. While terminal is out, examine closely.
4. If any corrosion is evident, clean terminal with a suitable electrical contact cleaner.
5. If water intrusion is apparent, check connector gasketing, and repair as necessary.
6. Make sure that under body connectors are firmly held in the wire guiding clips and are not allowed to dangle loosely.
7. As in the ECM harness check, examine the connectors for corrosion or looseness.
8. While connectors are apart,
CONNECTOR INSPECTION
When a sensor fault is stored but the sensor appears to operating normally, it would be useful to check the HO2S wiring. Refer to the Operation
Pride Manual for the Discovery and Range Rover circuit diagrams.
IMPORTANT: Use extreme care when handling the sensor. Do not drop or physically damage the sensor. If sensor has been dropped, do not
install on vehicle.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1. Remove any dirt or debris in the vicinity of the sensor to avoid contamination in the catalytic converter or the threads in the exhaust pipe.
2. Verify vehicle is not at operating temperature.
3. Remove old sensor.
4. Apply anti-seize to the threads of the new sensor, taking care that no anti-seize contaminates the sensor tip.
5. Install sensor and finger-tighten in the exhaust pipe.
IMPORTANT: Proper torquing of the sensor is critical. Experience has shown that if the sensor is over-torqued, there is a possibility that the body
of the sensor element can distort, causing a cracked sensor element. Use the proper tool and the proper torque specification.
6. Using special tool # LRT - 12-O47, tighten sensor to 20 Nm, (15 lb.ft).
Retest After Repair
1. Clear any codes that may have been stored with Testbook.
58
2. Perform drive cycle C. (Refer to service bulletin W-96-007).
2. Recheck with TestBook for any newly stored codes.
3. If codes were stored, proceed with the Snap Throttle test.
After retrieving oxygen sensor P-codes from GEMS, go to real time monitoring oxygen sensors/fueling and check voltage activity of sensors as well
as sensor heaters. If you observe that the voltage is fixed at 4.8 or 1.0 volts. then rev the engine several times quickly and see if the voltages begin
switching. A sensor that does not respond will be defective or have a connection problem. Thus it is unnecessary to proceed with the oxygen sensor
"snap throttle" test below.
If the sensor is not responding, check the heater operation. The oxygen sensor heaters maintain the tip of the sensors at their optimum operating
temperature. The two front heaters are driven in parallel as are the two rear heaters. The heater voltages shown in Real Time Monitoring are used by
the ECM to check the temperature of the heaters. when the engine is warm, these voltages will settle to approximately 1 volt.
NOTE: A voltage of approximately 0.5 volts could be caused by one open circuit heater. Follow the circuit checks to diagnose open circuit
IMPORTANT: A good sensor must meet all these specifications, provided the procedures were followed exactly as Outlined. If the engine idles
too long, the sensor may cool down too much. This can lower its maximum voltage and increase its response time, causing a possible test failure.
Many sensors will perform adequately when very hot (after 2-3 minutes at 2500 rpm), but will fail when cool. Others may fail at high temperatures.
Check in both conditions.
SNAP THROTTLE TEST OF UPSTREAM SENSORS USING BEAR ANALYZER "UNISCOPE"
NOTE: If pinging is encountered while performing the Snap Throttle Test, poor fuel quality is usually the cause. This must be remedied before
proceeding with test.
1. Calibrate lead set for accurate voltage readings.
2. Switch off A/C compressor.
3. Set Uniscope red channel on ± 7 VDC and 32 ms.
4. Back probe pin 33 of red 36 pin connector for bank B, or pin 34 for bank A sensors.
5. Run engine to operating temperature (approx. 195°F) then heat engine and HO2S's fully by running engine 2-3 minutes at 2500 rpm. Let idle
for 5 seconds but no more than 20 seconds.
6. Push record on Uniscope.
7. Rev the engine rapidly four to five times in 2 second intervals from idle to wide open throttle (do not exceed 300 rpm).
8. Examine recording frame by frame. set cursor # 1 at maximum HO2S voltage and take a reading; record maximum voltage results. Set cursor
# 2 on minimum HO2S voltage and record results.
9. Measure rich-lean response times.
NOTE: Do not judge response times at the beginning of the record cycle (i.e. frames 1-3).
10. Print screens using print icon on upper right corner of screen.

^ Clean the airbox of any foreign materials.
62
^ Refer to the Workshop Manual Section 19.10.10 and carefully install a new filter. (Figure 1)
^ Verify proper fit of the cover to the filter housing.
^ Install and latch the airbox cover. (Figure 2)
6. If the filter housing cannot be correctly aligned to the filter or the top cover, replace the filter housing.
7. Clear all P-codes.
8. Allow vehicle to idle with the A/C off for 30 minutes to allow FRA/TRA adaptions to adjust.
9. Check for P-Codes.
10. Perform Drive Cycle "C" to validate
11. If no P-codes are set during Drive Cycle "C," the fault was in the filter installation. No additional action is required.
NOTE:
ONLY if plausibility P-codes are set during the drive cycle with a properly fitted filter and a sealed airbox is MAF sensor contamination
indicated as the root cause of the codes.
12. If P-codes are set, refer to the Workshop Manual Section 19.22.25 and replace the MAF sensor unit.
13. Install the filter and housing correctly to prevent uncontrolled air ingress.

Quiescent Current Draw
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
All Vehicles
SITUATION:
BATTERY IS DEAD OR FAILS TO MAINTAIN CHARGE
NOTE:
"Quiescent current" is current drawn from the battery by vehicle components that require power when the key is in the "off" position. The draw
may include the radio, clock, security system and ECU memory. It will also vary depending on the "sleep" status of various ECUs.
Some electronics, including plips from other vehicles in the vicinity, can "awaken" an ECU. When testing avoid the use of plips in the vicinity. If
consistently and repeatedly "awakened" over an extended time, the ECU quiescent draw can drain a battery.
A battery will self discharge at a rate between 0.1 - 1% at 20°C (68°F) depending on the age and condition of the battery. The self discharge rate will
INCREASE 1% for every 10°C (19°F) increase in temperature
Dirt and moisture on the top surface of the battery will also increase the discharge rate.
A quiescent current draw that exceeds specification can cause excessive battery drain while the engine is off. This may result in a dead battery or
inability of the battery to maintain a charge.
RESOLUTION:
TEST VEHICLE FOR EXCESSIVE QUIESCENT CURRENT DRAW
When a vehicle exhibits the above symptoms, measure the current from the battery after all vehicle systems have been shut down. Verify that the
current is less than or equal to the specified current level for that vehicle in the Repair Procedure section of this TIB.

Service Advisor
Technician
V8 Vehicles with Secondary Air Injection
Discovery Series II and Range Rover 2000-2002
When performing engine-related repairs on a vehicle equipped with secondary air injection, the system pipes may need to be removed to facilitate
repairs. Warranty claims indicate that the these pipes are often being replaced unnecessarily.
Affected Components
^ Pipe secondary air injection
^ Adaptor SAI rail
Investigation shows that when the components are dismantled from the engine/vehicle without damage difficulty may be experienced when
reassembly of the removed pipe to the engine is attempted after repair. Exhaust heat from the engine has, over time, distorted the pipes very slightly.
Removal from the engine permits the pipes to move/expand to release the built-up stress.
The distortion makes it very difficult to quickly re-assembly the pipes back onto the adaptors without cross threading the union nuts fittings. Patience
and a little extra time are required. Refer to the RAVE WSM sections 17.25.17-18 and perform the following refined assembly process:
1. Carefully align the pipe and the pipe union nuts.
2. Start the pipe nuts by hand. (Figure 1)
CAUTION:
Damage to the fittings can occur if care is not exercised during the assembly process.
3. Tighten both union nuts completely finger tight BEFORE any tools are used.
4. Install air manifold bracket nuts and tighten.
5. Torque the pipe union nuts to 25 Nm (18 lbf.ft.)

REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE:
A new radio was introduced on 2003 Range Rover from VIN 3A128030. This radio has new software installed, which increases the range of
adjustment of the navigation audio volume. The new radio also includes the personalization feature "radio key memory".
^ If TestBook/T4 disk DJL0D07 or later is used to communicate with the vehicle, there should not be error messages from the radio during
vehicle personalization.
^ If an older TestBook/T4 disk is used, error messages such as "the ECU configuration failed the following ECU: radio. The ECU has an
obsolete coding index and must be renewed". The message indicates that during programming, the communication failed on the radio.
^ The new radio is configured correctly from the factory and therefore does not require personalization. This message can be ignored.
PROCESS 1: PLACE "RADIO KEY MEMORY" FEATURE TO OFF SYMPTOM Radio auto-tunes to "87.7"
NOTE:
The "radio key memory" feature is not supported on early radios. If the option is enabled on these vehicles it will lead to the 87.7 tune problem.
1. If a customer complaint of "87.7" retuning at starting the car in the morning is confirmed, reprogram and disable the "radio key memory"
feature as follows:
^ Connect TestBook/T4 to the vehicle.
^ Start the engine and turn on the headlights.
NOTE:
In the next step ignore Dimmer Potentiometer, and Xenon Headlamp LH and RH below 7.5V unless there is a problem with these systems.
^ Clear fault codes in vehicle ECU's.
^ Select "Vehicle Configuration" and then select "Personalization".
^ Go to the "Radio Key Memory" line item and switch it ON".
NOTE:
The saving of the settings in the next step will take a few minutes.
^ Press the "Continue" button to save the settings to the vehicle and wait for TestBook/T4 to complete the task.
^ Exit out of the testbook screens to the main screen.
^ Disconnect TestBook/T4 lead from the vehicle, and switch off the vehicle ignition.
^ Remove the key and wait one minute.
^ Connect TestBook/T4 to the vehicle.
^ Start the engine and turn on the headlights.
^ Select "Vehicle Configuration" then select "Personalization".
^ Go to the "Radio Key Memory" line item and switch it OFF.
101
^ Press the "Continue" button to save the settings a second time. This time the radio key memory feature is disabled.
^ Fully exit TestBook/T4 to the main screen, turn off lights and engine.
PROCESS 2: CORRECT NAVIGATION VOICE/DISTANCE SELECTION TO "JAMES"
CAUTION:
Installation of a new navigation computer requires programming the new unit to the vehicle. Connect TestBook/T4 and select Diagnostics,
Vehicle Information Systems, Vehicle Maintenance. Perform the ECU renewal procedure as you would on any other ECU on this vehicle. If you
do not program the navigation computer in this way, it does not "learn" the vehicle specification or market.
CAUTION:
Two languages can be loaded into the navigation system at any time. The recommended navigation system voices for the US are "James" and
"Spanish Female". The recommended navigation system voices for Canada are "James" and "French Female". You should never select both the
Male AND Female selection of each language. I.e. never select "US English Male" and "US English Female" together as the system will not
function correctly.
NOTE:
Land Rover has discovered a software bug when using the "UK English Male" voice option on the New Range Rover navigation system. The use
of the "James" voice will give the same accent, but uses US terminology (for example: Freeway/Circle instead of Motorway/Roundabout) and
James does not suffer from the distorted or clipped speech pattern. For detailed instructions on changing navigation languages see the Retailer
PDI/personalization process on the InfoTrail
SYMPTOM Commands sound distorted, or crackly.
1. If the navigation system "peaks" with a distorted voice or the ends of sentences are clipped or cutoff, change the voice in the navigation system
to "James".
NOTE:
The change of units of measure is a customer requested adjustment. It is not a fault.
SYMPTOM Navigation system distance units appear in miles/yards rather than miles/feet
2. If the navigation system states distance in Miles/Yards rather than the normal Miles/Feet, set the navigation voice to "James". The distance
units will automatically change to Miles/Feet.
PROCESS 3: CORRECT AUDIO VOLUME COMPLAINT
SYMPTOM Navigation audio volume too low on 2003 Range Rover up to 3A128030
1. If the navigation system volume is too low set radio audio systems for optimal performance as follows:
^ Press the left rotary knob to turn the radio on.
^ Press the "INFO" button.
^ Select "NAV-MIN" and use right rotary control to highlight "NAV-MIN+".
^ Press right rotary control as many times as necessary to obtain a setting of "+9"
2. Set navigation system for optimal performance as follows:
NOTE:
Setting volume to +10 or +12 will mute the radio entirely during a navigation audio command. Setting volume to +8 will give maximum
navigation volume, but will mix the navigation and radio audio during a navigation voice command.
^ Press the "MENU" button on the MFD.
^ Select "On Road Navigation" and then "Information".
^ Select "Volume Navigation".
^ Set navigation volume to "+8".
NOTE:
The latest radio variant increases the range of adjustment of the navigation system voice commands volume significantly.
PROCESS 4: ADJUSTING SPEED DEPENDENT VOLUME ON 2003 RANGE ROVER
102
SYMPTOM Speed dependent volume too high or too low
NOTE:
"GAL" is an acronym derived from German representing "Speed Dependent Volume." A GAL setting of "1"is less sensitive and will increase the
radio volume proportionally less as vehicle speed increases. A GAL setting of 6 is the most sensitive and will increase the volume the most. The
factory setting is "2".
1. If the volume change is either too great or not enough when the vehicle speed changes, perform the following adjustment procedure to increase
or decrease the sensitivity:
^ Verify that the power LED next to left rotary knob is NOT illuminated (the radio is off).
^ Press the left rotary knob to energize the radio.
^ Press and hold the "SELECT" button until the service mode is displayed.
^ Press and hold the "<>" button until the "GAL" display is visible.
^ Press the desired numbered button "1" through "6" to alter the GAL setting. Press the left rotary knob to turn off the radio.
PROCESS 5: RADIO DISPLAY MODE SELECTION
SYMPTOM: After a radio station is selected the Radio screen display disappears.
1. If the customer desires the radio screen display to remain revealed after station selection, the following steps will retain the display:
^ Press the left rotary knob to energize the radio.
^ Select the station of choice by search or by preset button
^ Press the RH side of the "MODE" rocker switch in the lower left of the Multi-Function Display panel.
NOTE:
The screen will toggle between the radio display and the menu screen.
^ Select the desired screen by pressing the MODE display symbol as required.

The new weights should be fitted whenever a starter motor is replaced. Always perform the procedures in TIB 86/04/00/NAS before replacing a
starter motor for a "no-crank/no-start" symptom. If the starter requires replacement, inspect pinion and over-run clutch for evidence of contact or
"machining" damage to components. If damage is evident, balance weight replacement is required to remove the source of the damage.
1. Confirm customer complaint of noise when cranking.
2. Disconnect the battery earth lead.
3. Raise the vehicle.
4. Identify the two rubber access plugs fitted to the rear flange of the engine oil sump.
NOTE:
Determining the best rubber plug to remove is a vehicle-dependant technician choice.

CAUTION:
Any weights dropped into the power unit must be retrieved via the access plate on the gearbox.
6. Replace the drive plate balance weights with the low profile balance weights from kit (LBB000550) as follows:
^ Rotate the drive plate until a weight becomes visible through the plug opening.
^ Carefully remove that weight using an Allen wrench.
^ Select a new balance weight from the kit, of equivalent mass to the original removed weight.
^ Fit the new weight to the drive plate in the same location as the removed weight.
^ Tighten weight securing Allen screw to 10 Nm (88.5 lbf.in.).
CAUTION:
Refer to Attachment 1 for dimensional and visual identification of original weights and the equivalent mass new weights.
^ The replacement weight must always be fitted to the same hole from which the original weight was removed.
^ Always replace the weights on a ONE FOR ONE BASIS to ensure that they are of the correct mass and fitted in their correct positions.
^ The new balance weight is designed so that it can only be fitted in one orientation.
7. Repeat the replacement process in step 6 until all weights have been replaced.
8. When all weights are in position and tightened, rotate the drive plate one complete revolution to confirm that all weights have been replaced.
9. Refit the rubber access plug to the rear flange.
10. Lower the vehicle and reconnect the battery ground cable.

SITUATION:
"CHECK COOLANT LEVEL" WARNING MESSAGE DISPLAYED
The vehicle may display the "Check Coolant Level" warning message even when the coolant level is visually within the correct range in the
expansion tank. Incorrect specific gravity of the coolant mix can result in the "check coolant level" warning message being displayed.
RESOLUTION:
VERIFY COOLANT SPECIFIC GRAVITY
If the customer complains of the above symptom, the specific gravity of the coolant MUST be checked prior to any other investigations or repair,
such as the replacement of the expansion tank assembly or low coolant level sensor. The low coolant sensing system will not work correctly if the
specific gravity of the coolant mixture is incorrect.
The specific gravity of a 50% anti-freeze solution at 20°C (68°F) is 1.075 (using a coolant specific gravity tester) and protects against freezing down
to -36°C (-33° F).
PARTS INFORMATION:
NOTE:
A 50% mix of water and coolant is required for a refill. Topping up with either blue coolant is permitted for recent vehicles with factory fill
BASF G48 coolant (blue). The 50% mix is required to obtain the correct specific gravity.
DDW WARRANTY CLAIMS:
CAUTION:
Mixing of the BASF G48 (blue) with Texaco XLC (orange) coolant can result in premature erosion of the cylinder heads or other cooling system
deterioration. Unapproved blending of coolants is to be avoided.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
INVESTIGATE DISCOVERY SERIES II AND RANGE ROVER PRIOR TO MY 2001:
SHIFT PERFORMANCE TROUBLESHOOTING - FAULT REFERENCE # 1
1. Determine the validity of the customer complaint:
^ Slipping on 2-3, 3-4 shift or 4-3, 3-2 shift
^ Engine races or "neutrals out" on 2-3, 3-4 shift or 4-3, 3-2 shift
^ Harsh shift or "jerk" on 2-3 or 3-4 shift
^ Transmission slipping on kick-down
NOTE:
Customers may also describe a double shift or a jerk/delayed shift when accelerating or that the car seems to "neutral out" or downshift to
first when accelerating. These symptoms suggest an internal failure within the transmission. If an internal failure exists the fault will be
repeatable in nature and WILL NOT be intermittent. Should the customer describe an intermittent problem or the dealer is unable to
reproduce the customer complaint please contact the Land Rover ZF HelpLine for further assistance.
CAUTION:
Oil levels must be checked COLD with engine running. Refer to the following documents for additional guidance.
^ Oil level setting Service Alert SA00GI15 issued on 8/10/00
^ Oil level setting Bulletin 44/01/99/NAS (NO dipstick)
^ Oil level setting Bulletin 44/01/98/NAS (WITH dipstick)
2. Fault reference #1: If transmission slips on 2-3 or 3-4 shift (or both), and/or slips when a kick-down shift (or "passing gear" is called for) 4-3
or 3-2 is tried, check oil level and record results on ATER.
154
NOTE:
It is possible that no fault codes have been logged even though the slip may be severe (although a downshift over-speed fault code may be
logged).
3. Test vehicle to verify complaint and to ensure problem is repeatable as follows:
^ If complaint relates to the 3-4 shift for example, drive the car in position D3 and confirm shifts 1-2, 2-3 are OK
^ Stop the vehicle and accelerate from rest in position D3
^ At 40-50 mph shift lever into position D
^ If engine revs increase or "flares" as the shift to 4th is made on a repeatable basis the fault is internal to the transmission
4. If the oil level is correct (or fault persists after oil level correction) AND the fault is repeatable in nature replace transmission and flush oil
cooler lines.
5. Ensure ATER is completed, record fault reference # 1 on ATER and fax to HelpLine.
INVESTIGATE ALL VEHICLES PRIOR TO MY2001:
LOSS OF DRIVE OR SLIPPING - FAULT REFERENCE # 2 & # 3 & # 4
1. Determine the validity of the customer complaint:
^ Loss of forward drive
^ Loss of drive, forward and reverse
^ Loss of drive forward and reverse as car warms up
^ Slipping in drive
^ Slipping in drive and reverse
NOTE:
The loss of forward drive symptoms suggest that the "A" clutch (main forward clutch) has failed. This clutch is not used in reverse. As a
result reverse gear engages and operates as normal.
CAUTION:
Oil levels must be checked COLD with engine running. Refer to TIBs 44/01/99/NAS and 44/01/98/NAS as well as Service Alert
SA0015GI-15 for additional guidance.
2. Fault reference #2: If loss of all forward drive is encountered but reverse gear operates correctly perform the following:
^ Verify correct oil level. If the transmission oil level is set/filled incorrectly (too low) or if oil is lost as in the case of a severe leak from the
transmission or cooler/cooler lines this fault may result.
^ On electronic transmissions the stall speed monitoring fault should be recorded in the transmission fault memory (P0722, Bosch, 27
GEMS).
^ It is possible that the oil looks or smells burnt.
3. If the fault is still present after checking/correction of oil level AND the fault occurs every time acceleration from rest is attempted, replace
transmission and flush oil cooler lines.
4. Ensure ATER is completed, record fault reference # 2 on ATER and fax to the HelpLine along with TestBook fault code print outs detailing
fault codes recorded.
NOTE:
The loss of drive in positions "D", "D3" or "D2" failure symptoms suggest that the first speed freewheel has failed. This can occur if "D"
is engaged while the car is rolling backwards causing overload of the freewheel and subsequent failure. Transfer box chain slip can also
cause this fault by providing shock loads to the transmission. In positions "D", "D3" & "D2" the freewheel holds the torque when
accelerating from rest. In position "D1"the freewheel is supported by engagement of a clutch (to provide engine braking). This will "lock"
the freewheel even if it has failed, allowing the car to pull away normally.
CAUTION:
Oil levels must be checked COLD with engine running. Refer to TIBs 44/01/99/NAS and 44/01/98/NAS as well as Service Alert
SA0015GI-15 for additional guidance.
155
5. Fault reference #3: If loss of drive in positions "D", "D3" or D2" is determined but the vehicle drives when in "D1" or when reverse gears
engaged, perform the following:
^ On electronic transmissions the stall speed monitoring fault code should be recorded in the fault memory (P0722, Bosch, 27 GEMS).
^ The oil may look clean and smell normal with this fault.
^ Check oil level and record results on ATER.
6. If the fault is still present after checking/correction of oil level AND the fault occurs every time acceleration from rest is attempted, replace
transmission and flush oil cooler lines.
7. Ensure ATER is completed, record fault reference # 3 on ATER and fax to the HelpLine along with TestBook fault code print outs detailing
fault codes recorded.
NOTE:
The symptoms of no drive in forward or reverse indicate a serious internal transmission failure BUT could also be a failure of a component
outside of the transmission, for example transfer box failure. Where an internal transmission failure exists there should be a stall speed
monitoring fault code stored (electronic transmissions only).
CAUTION:
Oil levels must be checked COLD with engine running. Refer to TIBs 44/01/99/NAS and 44/01/98/NAS as well as Service Alert
SA0015GI-15 for additional guidance.
8. Fault reference # 4: If vehicle has no drive at all forward or reverse, check the oil level and record results on ATER.
^ If the transmission has just been fitted to the car as a result of a transmission replacement or engine repairs, the oil pump drive dogs may
have been broken off during installation. Contact the HelpLine for assistance.
^ If the transmission has just been serviced, oil changed or the oil and filter changed, verify oil level and ensure that the filter and O-ring are
installed correctly. Contact the HelpLine for assistance.
^ If the transmission controller DOES NOT have the stall speed fault code logged (P0722 - Bosch 27 GEMS), the failure may not be the
transmission. Contact the HelpLine for assistance.
9. If the fault is still present after checking and correction of oil level AND the fault occurs every time acceleration from rest is attempted AND
the stall speed fault code is logged (P0722 - Bosch, 27 GEMS), replace transmission and flush oil cooler lines.
10. Ensure ATER is completed, record fault reference # 4 on ATER and fax to the HelpLine along with TestBook fault code print outs detailing
fault codes recorded.
INVESTIGATE DISCOVERY II, RANGE ROVER 4.0 & 4.6:
FAULT CODE P0734 (BOSCH), 43 (GEMS) FAULT REFERENCE #5
NOTE:
This fault code indicates that the diagnostics saw a difference between the transmission input speed and the transmission output speed that
exceeded the permissible 4th gear ratio. This could be a result of actual slip or an incorrect input/output speed signal. The output speed signal is
read from the auto transmission output speed sensor in the transmission. The input speed signal is a theoretical value (there is no input speed
sensor in the auto transmission) calculated from the engine torque/speed signals from the EMS.
CAUTION:
Oil levels must be checked COLD with engine running. Refer to TIBs 44/01/99/NAS and 44/01/98/NAS as well as Service Alert SA0015GI-15
for additional guidance.
1. If the transmission has been serviced recently, investigate the oil level. Incorrect levels can lead to this fault code being logged.
2. Check the condition of the transmission oil for evidence of water contamination.
3. Inspect fluid to determine if it is black/burnt.
4. Determine if the oil smells burnt.
5. If there is any doubt about the oil condition, remove the oil pan and inspect and call the HelpLine for further assistance.
6. If there are no obvious signs of transmission slip or malfunction, road test the car to confirm that the transmission operates as expected.
NOTE:
There may be engine fault codes logged as well as this transmission fault code. Typically the codes are P0171, P0174. Correcting the
156
cause of these faults will prevent further occurrences of the transmission code. However, it has also become clear that a mass air flow
meter can provoke this transmission code without recording any engine fault codes. Follow LR diagnosis procedure for Mass air flow
meter.
7. If all of the following conditions exist:
^ The oil level is correct
^ The oil condition was found to be normal
^ The transmission operated correctly on road test
investigate engine mass air flow meter for faults. DO NOT REPLACE TRANSMISSION
8. Ensure ATER is completed, record fault reference # 5 on ATER and fax to HelpLine at along with TestBook fault code print outs detailing
fault codes recorded.
INVESTIGATE DISCOVERY II, RANGE ROVER 4.0 & 4.6 TO 1999:
FAULT CODES P0501, P1884 AND P0722 FAULT REFERENCE #6
NOTE:
The customer will probably report that the fault occurred after starting the car from cold and could also report that the car has no power, is
running rough or misfiring. With the fault codes cleared the car should run fine. This fault can occur if the driver engages drive and applies
throttle immediately after start up. This can lead to the stall speed diagnostics being "tripped" as the engine speed exceeds the upper diagnostic
threshold. The software for the stall speed diagnostics has been altered from 00MY to prevent these codes from being recorded in error.
1. Determine which of the following symptoms exist:
^ Vehicle runs rough and has no power
^ Transmission fault lights/message displayed
^ Fault codes P0501 (in Bosch controller) AND P0722 & P1884 in transmission controller are set
^ When the fault codes are cleared car appears to operate normally
^ Customer states that the fault occurs only after starting from cold
CAUTION:
These codes can be caused by other issues and logged separately. In such cases contact the HelpLine for further assistance.
2. Confirm that all three fault codes are recorded:
^ P0501 in engine controller
^ P0722 and P1884 (V3 road speed invalid) in transmission controller
3. Clear the fault codes from both controllers and test drive the vehicle.
4. If further faults are noted during road test or fault codes are re-logged, contact the HelpLine for further assistance.
5. Use TestBook/T4 to verify the Land Rover part number of the transmission controller (ECU).
NOTE:
TestBook/T4 displays the part numbers before fault codes are accessed.
^ Old level software: Series II UHC100240/UHC100360
^ Old level software: Range Rover UHC100220
^ New level software: Series II UHC000010 or UHC00080
^ New level software: Range Rover UHC100340
CAUTION:
Series II transmission ECU's can be plugged in without any further work required. Range Rover transmission ECU's need to have the tune
selected (4.0 or 4.6) using TestBook.
6. If all three codes were present AND the car operated correctly after clearing the codes AND the transmission controller ECU contains the
157
OLD level software, install the latest level transmission control ECU with new software. DO NOT REPLACE TRANSMISSION.
7. Ensure ATER is completed, record fault reference # 6 on ATER and fax to HelpLine at along with TestBook fault code print outs detailing
fault codes recorded.

Updated information is shown by asterisks and shaded areas.
SITUATION:
TRANSMISSION WATER INGRESS THROUGH BREATHER
Condensation from Air Conditioning and water from a "deep wading" event can flow over the transmission and collect on the transmission breather
tube on Range Rover and Discovery Series II vehicles. It can then migrate up the transmission tube. Over time these small water droplets can
cause an accumulation of water in the transmission causing problems associated with water contamination harsh gear changes, poor gear selection,
gear slip or loss of drive and intermittent failure of the park lock function.
RESOLUTION:
NOTE:
This procedure is complicated. Reading and understanding all of the Option steps is important before undertaking any repairs.
REPOSITION BREATHER TUBE AND INSPECT FLUID
Re-route the breather tube to the top of the transmission to eliminate the breather tube as a source of transmission contamination. Test the park lock
feature of the transmission and then determine if the AT fluid is contaminated by a fluid inspection. Carefully follow the corrective steps to ensure
proper operation of the transmission park lock function and removal of any water contamination.

NOTE:
The fluid testing process must be followed carefully to avoid unnecessary loss of AT fluid. Done with care and with the proper tools,
approximately 100 cc (3-4 oz.) of fluid can be drained for evaluation. You must have approximately two inches of fluid in the bottom of your
container when the fluid sample is taken.
WARNING:
Fluid drained from the sump pan may be "hot". Exercise care when draining the fluid.
11. Test the fluid to determine the presence of water contamination as follows:
^ Obtain a clean, clear glass container about three inches in diameter and about 6 inches tall.
^ Using a 5 mm Allen wrench, break the seal on the transmission drain plug.
^ Orient the Allen wrench with the long portion vertical and carefully unscrew the plug until AT fluid seepage is observed.
^ Hold the container under the plug opening and carefully unscrew the plug until no threads are engaged but maintaining pressure against the
opening.
^ Tilt the plug slightly to drain the fluid sample required to give 1.5 to 2 inches of fluid in the bottom of the container.
^ Thread the plug back into the opening reusing the original seal.
Torque the plug to 15 Nm (11 lbf.ft.).
NOTE:
If a level of uncertainty exists as to the correct appearance of the sample, a comparison of the sample taken to new fluid from stock will be
helpful.
12. Visually inspect the fluid for the presence of water contamination against the following parameters:
Uncontaminated fluid will have a bright red appearance and will be "clear". You can easily see your finger on the bottom of the clear container
from the top through the 2 inches of drawn fluid.
^ Lightly contaminated fluid will have a deep burgundy red color and cloudy appearance.
^ Heavily contaminated fluid will have a "milky pink" appearance.
13. If the transmission fluid is clear, perform the following:
Top up the transmission fluid level to the correct level making sure to follow the procedure outlined in TIB 44/01/99/NAS.
Install the campaign label as outlined in the "Campaign Label Installation" section of this TIB.

SITUATION:
HANDBOOK SYMBOL ILLUMINATED ON THE ATC DISPLAY
When the coolant temperature reaches 97°C (207°F) and stays at or above that temperature for ten minutes, the Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC) diagnostic system will illuminate the handbook symbol on the ATC display. The diagnostic fault code in the ATC panel software is set too
low for normal vehicle operating conditions in very hot climates.
RESOLUTION:
INSTALL RESISTOR TO ADJUST ATC INPUT
NOTE:
Installation of the resistor will "adjust" the displayed output temperature seen in real-time T4 monitoring. Comparing the ATC sensor output
after the modification with other coolant temperature information in real time can be misleading.
CAUTION:
It is important to verify that there is not a mechanical cause for high coolant temperatures. Inspections for leaks and verification of the coolant
level as well as proper fan and thermostat operation should all be verified.
Should a customer express concern regarding the appearance of the handbook symbol during hot weather operation, the DTCs should be examined
to determine if the vehicle has a fault for the heater core temperature sensor. If that fault is flagged on vehicles built before the above VIN, follow
168
the rectification procedure in this TIB to install an in-line resistor link lead between the heater temperature sensor and the electrical harness.
Also refer to TIB 80/03/96/US for information relating to intermittent operation of early vehicle heater core sensors. Sensor date codes should be

Claims for damaged non-defective leads will be subject to debit.
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
14CUX IGNITION SYSTEM PHYSICAL AND RESISTANCE CHECKS
CAUTION:
Always use correct procedures when removing ignitions leads to avoid damage to the lead. Testing may be required to verify lead
condition.
1. Install coil primary eyelet connectors as described in TIB 19/07/96/US.
NOTE:
Surface cracks in any engine lacquer sprayed on the wires should be ignored, but any wire that is obviously damaged should be replaced.
2. Inspect secondary ignition wires visually for damage to cables or boots.
CAUTION:
172
Always verify that ignition cable terminals at all locations are fully engaged.
3. Ensure that the wire connectors are fully engaged with the terminals on the spark plugs, distributor and coil.
4. If any connectors are found to be loose, the wire terminal, boot and mating half connector should be cleaned with brake cleaner and inspected:
^ If serious corrosion or damage is evident, replace the wire.
^ If no serious corrosion or damage is evident, ensure the mating connections are clean and assembled.
5. Attach TestBook with Bear Engine Analyzer to the vehicle and connect for conventional ignition as follows:
^ Attach yellow lead to coil wire.
^ Plug the yellow lead into the spot where the eight lead for plug wires on Direct Ignition attach.
^ Attach the green trigger lead to the # 1 plug wire.
^ Attach the small wire with the black clip (connected to the battery leads) to the negative terminal of the ignition coil.
^ Connect the high voltage pickup and trigger pickup around ignition wires which have been cleaned for 75 mm (3 inches) in either direction
of the pickup with brake cleaner.
6. Perform the secondary ignition test and verify that the results are within the following limits:
^ Average Kv 12-17KV
^ Snap KV 17-26KV
^ Burn Time 0.4-2.0
NOTE:
Other faults, such as fueling faults may give unusual readings.
7. If any of these readings are abnormal, check the following:
^ Ensure that base time is set to the Workshop Manual specification.
^ Verify condition and gap of spark plugs.
^ Inspect condition of distributor cap and rotor (cracks, dirt, carbon brush condition).
^ Check resistance of spark plug and coil wires. Resistance should be between 98 and 213 ohms per cm (3 and 6.5 K ohms per foot).
NOTE:
A high average KV, somewhere around 35 KV (see Chart 1), is an indication of an open circuit on that cylinder.
8. Check for variables that raise average KV such as:
173
^ High resistance plug or coil wire
^ Connector pulled off plug distributor or coil
^ Carbon brush missing or broken in distributor cap
^ Badly worn spark plug
^ Snap throttle opening
^ Lean Mixture
^ Retarded ignition timing
NOTE:
A very low average KV, around 2-3 KV (see Chart 2) indicates a possible short circuit in the plug wire or spark plug. Only the wires that
are out of specification or show signs of arcing are to be replaced.
9. Check for short circuit in the plug wire or ground electrode contacting center electrode of the spark plug.
10. Check for variables that lower average KV such as:
^ Grounded or fouled plug
^ Small plug gap
^ Rich Mixture
^ Advanced timing
^ Poor Compression (burned valves for example)
11. If there is no sign of misfire, the wires should be considered serviceable.
CAUTION:
Do not spray the wires with water. In the past, this has been the recommended procedure. This diagnostic technique can, however, be
misleading. Spraying water precipitates a condition called "corona discharge." Corona discharge is a low voltage spark (outside the lead)
which has the same appearance as arcing, but which does not affect the firing of the cylinder. Observing a corona discharge display can
lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary replacement of high-tension leads.
12. If a misfire is evident and no high-tension lead fault is found, investigate the following causes:
^ Fueling and Injectors
^ Compression
174
^ Spark plugs
^ Distributor cap and rotor
^ Ignition coil
^ Crankshaft sensor
^ Exhaust leak
^ Exhaust valve sticking
^ Worn camshaft
GEMS IGNITION SYSTEM PHYSICAL AND RESISTANCE CHECKS
1. Check spark plug wires for damage or looseness.
2. Check all primary circuit wires for tightness, damage or corrosion.
3. Replace any damaged components.
4. Remove spark plugs, ensure plug gap is correct and check for fouling.
NOTE:
Check ignition wire resistance first by measuring the entire length of a companion wire set from one plug end of the wire set to the other
plug end through the coil.
5. Verify that a resistance between 24-40 K ohms is obtained when measuring from plug end to plug end with the leads attached to the coil.
6. If out of specification, measure coil and wires separately.
^ Coil secondary resistance should be 13 K ohms.
^ Spark plug wire resistance should be 98 to 213 ohms per cm (3 to 6.5 K ohms per foot) measured from coil end to plug end of the wire.
7. Replace any damaged components.
BEAR ANALYZER IGNITION TEST CONNECTION FOR GEMS IGNITION SYSTEM
1. Attach TestBook with Bear Engine Analyzer to the vehicle and connect for Direct Ignition System
^ Attach the four red leads to the right plug wires (even numbers).
^ Attach the four black leads to the left plug wires (odd numbers).
^ Attach the green trigger wire to the # 1 plug wire.
2. Perform the secondary ignition test.
Acceptable ranges for secondary testing are as shown.
NOTE:
Other faults, such as fueling faults may give unusual readings.
3. If any of these readings are abnormal, check the following:
^ Verify condition and gap of spark plugs.
^ Verify resistance of spark plug and coil wires is between 3 and 6.5 K ohms per foot.
NOTE:
A high average KV, somewhere around 3.5 KV, is an indication of an open circuit on that cylinder.

Updated information is shown by asterisks.
Loose Electrical Connector at Starter Motor
A number of retailers have encountered 1999 and 2000 MY Bosch EMS-equipped vehicles which fail to start or start intermittently.
Field reports have indicated that the primary electrical connection on these vehicles may not be adequately torqued to provide a solid electrical
connection. Testing of warranty return starters supports the suggestion of a loose connection. Returned starters frequently test "no-fault-found".
Whenever a no-start situation is encountered on 1999 and 2000 "Bosch" Range Rover or Discovery vehicles, the first check should be to tighten the
main starter electrical cable connection as follows:
1. First disconnect battery ground terminal.
2. Slacken and remove the battery-lead-to-starter-solenoid-securing nut.
3. Install a star washer on the solenoid stud.
4. Install and tighten the nut to 18 Nm (13 lb.ft.).

*Date: 27 February 2004*
Steering/Tire Vibration Correction
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
New Range Rover (LM)
All
Updated information shown by asterisks.
SITUATION:
VIBRATION FROM WHEELS AND TIRES
A customer may complain of steering vibration or shimmy." Sources of vibration/shimmy can be Radial Force Variation (RFV) in the wheel-tire
assemblies and also the positioning/mounting of the wheels on the vehicle.
RESOLUTION:
MATCH MOUNTING AND WHEEL/TIRE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
In case of a customer complaint of vibration/shimmy on vehicles, follow the optimization procedures in this bulletin using a Hunter 9700/9712
balancing machine. The procedures to be followed are:
^ Tire to wheel match-mounting
The tire is positioned on the wheel so that the low point of the tire is matched to the high point of the wheel. This procedure is also referred to as
match-mounting. The Hunter 9700/9712 balancing machine performs this procedure.
^ Wheel/tire installation
The wheel/tire assembly is mounted to the vehicle's hub in a manner that allows the Radial Force high point of the assembly to be neutralized by
taking up the inherent clearance in the wheel-to-hub mating surface. The Hunter 9700/9712 balancing machine identifies the high point of the
wheel/tire assembly.
* PARTS INFORMATION *
TOOL INFORMATION:
CAUTION:
Access to a Hunter 9700/9712 wheel-balancing machine is required to perform the steps in this technical bulletin. If this tool is not available onsite,
be sure to bring the required special adapter tools to your local tire store with the Hunter 9700/9712.
180
Land Rover requires that wheel/tire assemblies be mounted to the Hunter 9700/9712 using the correct centering sleeve announced in Bulletin
STEO2-13 and the 5-lug flange plate adaptor previously supplied to Retailers. (Figure 1) This mounting method provides precise balance with
the highest rate of repeatability.
*CAUTION:
Care must be taken to ensure that the balancing location cone / spindle does not contact any part of the wheel/tire assembly except the illustrated
location during the balancing procedure. If the cone contacts any other part of the wheel/tire assembly, an incorrect cone has been selected.
Mounting the Centering Sleeve properly in the wheel opening is vital to the proper location of the wheel on the balance machine. (Figure 2)*
Land Rover recommends the use of a compression tool, such as the HAW 900, to install wheel weights. This tool prevents both accidental
damage to the rim and deformation of the wheel weight clips.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
PREPARATION
NOTE:
Tires are factory "match-mounted" on the wheels by Land Rover at initial assembly. It is important to retain this mounting orientation on
vehicles where it is known that the original factory balance is still intact.
1. Refer to the Owners Handbook specification and inflate tires to proper "cold" air pressures.
NOTE:
Tire heating is REQUIRED. It is extremely vital to the match-mounting process.
2. Drive the vehicle on a 15-20 mile highway-speed road test to ensure that all flat spots are removed and to heat tires to operating temperatures.
3. Lift the vehicle off the ground immediately after the road test to minimize temporary flat spots.
181
4. If tires are directional" tires, mark for installation in the same location on the vehicle after balancing. (Figure 3)
MATCH-MOUNT AND BALANCE
1. If the wheels are known to have non4actory balance or are equipped with new tires, perform the following:
^ Remove wheel assembly while tire is still warm.
^ Measure and record the Radial Force variation.
^ Perform wheel-to-tire match-mounting if balancing machine indicates necessity.
^ Record the amount of the Radial Force variation (lbs.) on the inside of tire with crayon
CAUTION:
For rim-mounted wheel weights, use only Land Rover specification two-piece clip-on wheel weights.
NOTE:
Inner edge of compression tool must be placed close to rim. Outer swivel foot of compression tool must be placed onto shoulder of tire.
^ Balance wheel on the Hunter 9700/9712, installing two-piece weights *(Figure 4)* as follows:
^ Compress the inflated tire at the bead and the shoulder with compression tool.
^ Insert the wheel weight clip between the tire bead and the road wheel. *(Figure 5)*
^ Release the compression tool.
Spread the wheel weight clip using the two-piece Haweka clip tool HAW 900/1.
182
^ Slide the weight under the clip. (Figure 6)
^ Verify that the weight is fully seated.
2. If the wheels are known to have the original factory balance intact, perform the following:
^ Remove wheel while still warm.
^ Measure Radial Force variation for wheel, but do not disturb factory wheel weights.
^ Record the amount of the Radial Force variation (lbs.) on the inside of tire with crayon
3. Perform the following steps on wheel/tire assembly:
^ Mark high point spot indicated by Hunter 9700/9712 on the tire with a hash mark on the outer sidewall.
^ Mark the high spot with a permanent white paint mark on the inside sidewall to identify for future repair situations.
4. Verify correct balance for wheel/tire assembly.
5. If the balancer indicates no additional weight is necessary ("0.00g"), loosen the wing nut, gently rock the wheel on the balancer spindle
adapter and tighten wing nut.
6. Verify balance a second time.
7. If the balancer indicates "0.00g", remove the wheel from the machine.
8. If the balancer does not indicate 0.00g perform the following:
^ Add the necessary weight.
^ Verify balance and repeat as required to achiever repeatable "0.00g" readings when the wheel is removed from the balancer
9. Go to Step 1 or Step 2 and perform complete "Match-mount and Balance" steps for each wheel/tire assembly.
MOUNT TIRES TO VEHICLE
1. If vehicle is equipped with directional tires (Figure 1), mount tires in original locations.
NOTE:
On vehicles with directional tires the wheel and tire assemblies can only be optimized at their original location on the vehicle. Step 2 does
NOT apply to directional tires.
2. If vehicle does NOT have directional tires, mount tires in the following locations:
^ Lowest value of Radial Force variation on left front of vehicle
^ Second lowest value of Radial Force variation on right front of vehicle
^ Third lowest value of Radial Force variation on left rear of vehicle
^ Highest value of Radial Force variation on right rear of vehicle.
3. Tighten wheel nuts to a snug "finger tight" condition (no wobble evident between the wheel and mounting surface).
183
4. Rotate each wheel so that the previously marked high point is at the bottom (6 o'clock position) and will contact the floor when the vehicle is
lowered.
5. Lower the vehicle partially to the floor so that light-to-moderate load is placed on each of the wheels.
6. Torque the lug nuts of each wheel to 140 Nm (103 lb/ft.).
7. Road test the vehicle.

AT Breather Repositioning and Fluid Check
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This Technical Alert supersedes and replaced TA00 4401
NOTE: The Service Action described in this Technical Alert is required due to a safety defect notification made by Land Rover North America to
NHTSA. Ensure that this Technical Alert is routed immediately to all of the persons in the "ATTENTION" distribution.
Land Rover North America will be issuing a Safety Recall for vehicles in service that are within the affected VIN range. Appropriate notices will be
mailed to all owners once the recall procedures are developed and verified for in-service vehicles.
VEHICLES WITHIN THE AFFECTED VIN RANGE THAT ARE IN RETAILER STOCK MUST BE MODIFIED PRIOR TO SALE.
This Service Action is to be executed on all affected new and used vehicles in Retailer inventory prior to delivery.
The Repair 1 procedural steps only apply to undelivered vehicles which have not been deep water waded, which do not have a warranty start date
activated and have less than 500 miles on the odometer.
The Repair 2 procedural steps apply to new and used vehicles in retailer inventory which have in excess of 500 miles on the odometer.
NOTE:
Used vehicles within the VIN range in retailer inventory, INCLUDING DEMOS WITH AN ACTIVE WARRANTY DATE, must pass the AT
fluid test outlined below. Vehicles that fail the visibility test may not be retailed until the Recall bulletin for vehicles with accumulated mileage
has been issued.
No action is to be taken on vehicles that have been delivered to customers. Delivered vehicles will be addressed by the Recall bulletin where
additional procedures will be outlined.
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
Range Rover (LP) XA410504 to 1A449412
Discovery Series II (LT) XA200000 to 1A299999
XA900000 to XA907212
1A700000 to 1A706116
SITUATION:
TRANSMISSION WATER INGRESS THROUGH BREATHER
Condensation from Air Conditioning and water from a "deep wading" event can flow over the transmission and collect on the transmission breather
tube on Range Rover and Discovery Series II vehicles. It can then migrate up the transmission tube. Over time these small water droplets can cause
an accumulation of water in the transmission causing problems associated with water contamination - harsh gear changes, poor gear selection, gear
slip or loss of drive and intermittent failure of the park lock function. Inspections and resolution for these faults will be addressed by the formal
Recall.
RESOLUTION:
REPAIR 1: REPOSITION BREATHER TUBE AT PDI - NEW VEHICLES UP TO 500 MILES
At or before delivery of a vehicle to a purchaser, re-route the breather tube to the top of the transmission to eliminate the breather tube as a source of
transmission contamination.
REPAIR 2: REPOSITION BREATHER TUBE AND INSPECT FLUID - NEW AND USED VEHICLES OVER 500 MILES
At or before delivery of a vehicle to a purchaser test the AT fluid as outlined in the Procedure section of the Alert. If the AT fluid is found to be
uncontaminated by the test, re-route the breather tube to the top of the transmission to eliminate the breather tube as a source of transmission
contamination.

PARTS INFORMATION:
WARRANTY CLAIMS:
REPAIR PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
No vehicle that has been waded, or has been delivered to a customer is to be corrected following the breather hose positioning procedure ONLY.
Additional instructions for in-service vehicles will be provided at a later time in a Recall bulletin.
REPAIR 1: POSITION BREATHER TUBE - VEHICLES UNDER 500 MILES IN RETAILER INVENTORY
1. Raise vehicle on lift.
2. Locate end of transmission breather tube clipped to the edge of the transmission pan. (Figure 1)
3. Inspect the end of the tube for blockage or damage.
4. Unfasten clip from transmission and remove the clip from the tube. Discard the clip.
5. Guide the end of the breather tube up over the top of the transmission housing.
6. Locate the white three-hole tube-locating clip near the top of the transmission housing.
7. Spray a small amount of silicon lubricant on the breather tubing near the locating clip.
CAUTION:
The orientation of the breather pipes is slightly different on Range Rover and Discovery Series II vehicles
^ On Discovery the Transfer Gearbox breather and the Gearbox breather come from opposite sides of the vehicle.
^ The Discovery breather is secured to an electric harness and must be released from that restraint.
^ Movement of the white clip is limited by the divergence of the tubes.
^ Care must be exercised to avoid crimping or deforming the tubing.
197
8. On Range Rover vehicles slide the white tube clip toward the rear of the vehicle until it stops against the bulge at the end of the repositioned
drain tube. (Figure 2)
9. On Discovery Series II vehicles perform the following:
^ Snip the cable tie to release the breather tube from the electrical harness.
^ Slide the white tube clip toward the rear of the vehicle until resistance is met because of the divergence of the transmission and transfer
box tubes. (Figure 3)
^ Verify that the end of the breather tube is parallel with the AT breather and pointed toward the LH rear of the vehicle.
10. Wipe any residual silicon lubricant from tubes.
REPAIR 2: POSITION BREATHER TUBE AND INSPECT AT FLUID FOR CLARITY VEHICLES IN RETAILER INVENTORY OVER 500
MILES
1. Raise the vehicle on a lift.
NOTE:
The testing process outlined below must be followed carefully to avoid unnecessary loss of AT fluid. Done with care and with the proper
tools, approximately 100 cc (3-4 oz.) of fluid can be drained for evaluation. You must have approximately two inches of fluid in the bottom
of your container when the fluid sample is taken.
CAUTION - Fluid drained from the sump pan may be "hot" - Due care and attention must be observed when draining the fluid.
2. Test the fluid to determine the presence of water contamination as follows:
^ Obtain a clean clear plastic container about three inches in diameter and about 6 inches tall.
^ Using a 5 mm Allen wrench break the seal on the transmission drain plug.
^ Orient the Allen wrench with the long portion vertical and carefully unscrew the plug until AT fluid seepage is observed.
^ Hold the container under the plug opening and carefully unscrew the plug until no threads are engaged but maintaining pressure against the
opening.
198
^ Tilt the plug slightly to drain the fluid sample required to give 1.5 to 2 inches of fluid in the bottom of the container.
^ Thread the plug back into the opening.
NOTE:
If a level of uncertainty exists as to the correct appearance of the sample, a comparison of the sample taken to new fluid from stock will be
helpful.
3. Visually inspect the fluid for the presence of water contamination against the following parameters:
^ Uncontaminated fluid will have a bright red appearance and will be "clear." You can easily see your finger on the bottom of the clear
container from the top through the 2 inches of drawn fluid.
^ Lightly contaminated fluid will have a deep burgundy red color and cloudy appearance,
^ Heavily contaminated fluid will have a "milky pink" appearance.
WARNING:
Contaminated transmissions may experience intermittent failure of the park lock function. Recall inspection and repair process will be
issued for vehicles that exhibit symptoms of contaminated fluid.
4. If the gearbox fluid exhibits a contaminated appearance THE VEHICLE MUST NOT BE SOLD and no further action can be taken until the
issuance of the formal Recall documentation and procedures.
5. If the gearbox fluid is clear perform the following:
^ Re-route the gearbox breather pipe as described in procedure "Position Breather Tube - Vehicles under 500 miles in Retailer Inventory"
^ Top up the transmission fluid level to the correct level making sure to follow the procedure outlined in TIB 441011981NA5.
^ Install the campaign label as outlined in the next section.

CONDITION SUMMARY:
STEERING VIBRATION FROM TIRE FLAT-SPOTTING AND RADIAL FORCE VARIATION
Situation:
This bulletin addresses concerns of a steering wheel vibration/steering shimmy identified on the initial vehicle preparation road test or from a
customer complaint. Tire flat-spots are a likely cause.
A customer may also complain of steering vibration or "shimmy" at moderate highway speeds (55mph). Sources of vibration/shimmy can be an
out-of-balance condition or Radial Force Variation (RFV) in the wheel-tire assemblies. Also the positioning/mounting of the wheels on the vehicle
can be a factor.
Action:
Carry out the Repair Procedure to correctly diagnose tire flat-spots and wheel balancing requirements.
In case of a customer complaint of vibration/shimmy on vehicles, follow the optimization procedures in this bulletin using a Hunter 9700/9712
balancing machine.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
VEHICLE PREPARATION STEPS
NOTE:
Step 1 of the procedure is part of the Vehicle Preparation process. No claim should be initiated if the performance of this step at initial vehicle
preparation resolves the concern.
NOTE:
Until flat-spots are removed, significant shimmy may be present, even if the car has only stood overnight. A test drive is required to ensure
temporary tire flat spots are removed. For longer term flat-spots, a longer drive may be required. The test drive should be carried out on normal
open roads to allow the highest speed that speed limits and road/traffic conditions allow.
1. If the vehicle is undergoing initial vehicle preparation, perform the following as part of the test drive:
^ Refer to the Vehicle Preparation Manual and adjust the tire pressures to the recommended cold tire pressures.
^ Drive the vehicle for at least 15km (10 miles) before attempting to assess shimmy.
^ Assess the level of wheel vibration.
2. If a customer complaint is being resolved, perform the following:
^ Adjust the tire pressures to the recommended cold tire pressures.
^ Drive the vehicle for at least 15km (10 miles) before attempting to assess shimmy.
^ Assess the level of wheel vibration.
3. If the level of steering vibration is considered acceptable, no further action is required.
4. If the levels of vibration remain unacceptable, perform the "Balance Wheels" section below.
BALANCE WHEELS AS REQUIRED
1. Raise vehicle on the lift immediately on returning to the workshop, to avoid inducing further tire flat spots.
2. Remove all four road wheel and tire assemblies for balancing.
3. Inflate each tire to 2.5bar (36lbf/sq.in) +/- 0.1 bar (1lbft/sq.in).
NOTE:
For adhesive weights, use the attachment arm on the Hunter machine to ensure accurate weight positioning.

4. Refer to Figures 3, 4 and 5 for correct wheel fitting attachment to the balance machine and balance road wheel and tire assemblies until the
residual imbalance dynamic is minimized.
^ Target is 0g on each plane, maximum is inner 5g, outer 5g.
^ Use the "bulls-eye" balancing mode to minimize residual imbalance.
5. If tire road force variations (RFV) measuring is available, the road wheel and tire assembly should aim for a maximum of 60 Newton (6.1 kgf /
13.4 lbf) first harmonic RFV, 100 Newton (10.2 kgf/22.5 lbf) peak-to-peak.
6. If these levels cannot be achieved, perform the following:
^ Remove the tire.
^ Follow the match mounting procedure as detailed by the Hunter machine.
^ Mark the high point of 1st harmonic RFV on the tire (ideally also mark on the inside too, as a future reference).
^ Install the lowest 1st harmonic RFV units to the front.
240
^ Print out the results of balance and force variation before and after, and attach to repair order.
NOTE:
If RFV equipment is not available and the tire has not been removed from the wheel and the RFV spot (red dot) is still visible this, should
be installed at the top.
7. The high-point of RFV should be marked, and the road wheel and tire assembly installed to the vehicle with the RFV high point at the top,
prior to the wheels being tightened. (Figure 6)
NOTE:
Nothing should be used to brace the wheel while tightening the nuts as this can disturb the match mounting.
8. Install all four road wheel and tire assemblies.
9. Tighten wheel nuts to 140Nm (103 lbf ft).
10. Lower the vehicle onto the lift.
11. Restore tire pressures to the recommended settings.
12. Drive the vehicle for approximately 7km (5 miles) carried out on normal roads and up to speeds of approximately 80 km/h (50 mph) to verify
correction of steering vibration.

NOTE: For the fixed side glass to be correctly bonded, all Body-In-White (BIW) clips around the periphery of the glass must be completely
covered by the bonding material. The bonding is not correct if there are any gaps in the bonding or if any BIW clips are visible. (Figure 12)
6. Visually inspect for correct bonding around the perimeter of the fixed side door glass. (Figure 13)
7. If the bonding material around the perimeter of the glass has any gaps or does not completely cover all Body-In-White (BIW) clips, apply
sufficient Polyurethane Sealant to fill any gaps and completely cover all BIW clips, ensuring that the sealant is hidden by the black band
around the glass edges.*
8. If the rear door fixed glass is not properly bonded, refer to GTR Workshop Manual section 76-1 - Doors procedure 76.31.31 and remove the
rear door fixed side glass.
9. Install the rear side door fixed glass following adhesive guidelines in the GTR Workshop Manual. (Figure 14)
REPAIR 9: ALL VEHICLES
A whistle noise is heard from the centre of the windshield at speeds in excess of 60mph (97km/h). The noise may be caused by airflow over the
247
passenger side plenum drain tube opening. The plenum drain tube opening is divided into four quadrants.
1. Tape over plenum drain tube opening to verify cause of the noise.
* 2. Remove tape after road test.
3. Insert Fir-tree fastener (MWC9832PMA) into the in-board, front quadrant of the drain tube opening. (Figure 15)*
REPAIR 10: ALL VEHICLES WITH SUNROOF
A general wind noise is heard from the front leading edge of the sunroof when traveling in excess of 50mph (80km/h). The likely cause is poor
sunroof alignment profile.
1. Tape the leading edge of the sunroof to verify cause of the noise.
2. Remove tape after road test.
NOTE: GTR lookup sequence is as follows:
GTR Home > NAS > Service Information/ LM - New Range Rover/2003 > Workshop Manuals > Range Rover - Workshop Manual - Service
Procedures > Bookmark "76-6 - Sunroof" > Link "76.84.82 Sunroof - align to roof panel & adjust"
3. Refer to GTR section 76.84.82 and perform sunroof adjustment and alignment to roof panel.
REPAIR 11: ALL VEHICLES
A whistle is heard from the lower windshield area at speeds in excess of 50mph (80km/h) only when the recirculation damper is shut. The noise is
likely to be caused by a trapped foot well lamp wire in the recirculation "snail shell" housing.
NOTE: In the event of a concern of a noise from behind the instrument panel when the Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) is in
recirculation or automatic mode, evident at road speeds of above 60mph (100km/h), refer to Technical Bulletin 82/01/05/NAS - Range Rover
(LM) - Noise From HVAC System.
1. Reproduce the complaint during a test drive and cycle in and out of recirculation mode to confirm the suspected cause of the complaint.
2. Remove the pollen filter to access snail shell housing and free the trapped wire. (Figure 16)
REPAIR 12: ALL VEHICLES
A general wind noise is heard from the top of the B-pillar area at speeds in excess of 30mph (48km/h). The noise may be caused by the front door
glass being set too far forward.
1. Close the affected window completely.
248
2. Determine if the top corner radius of the window glass, adjacent to the B-Pillar, is visible indicating that the window is set too far forward.
(Figure 17)
3. If the corner is not visible, use a blunt plastic implement to gently probe the top rear edge of the seal to assess the overlap of the seal over the
glass. (Figure 18)
4. If the glass can be felt, it is unlikely that improper window glass alignment is the cause of the complaint.
5. If the glass cannot be felt, lower the window by approximately 260mm (10 inches), to position window glass for access to the securing torx
bolts. (Figure 19)
NOTE: GTR lookup sequence is as follows: GTR Home > NAS > Service Information/ LM - New Range Rover/2003 > Workshop Manuals
> Range Rover - Workshop Manual - Service Procedures > Bookmark "76-1 Doors" > Link "76.34.01 Trim casing - front door"
6. Refer to GTR Workshop Manual section 76.34.01 and remove the front door casing for access only.
7. Partially release the plastic sheet and temporarily secure up and out of the way to gain access to torx bolts securing glass. (Figure 20)
NOTE: If attempts are made to move the glass rearwards without lifting the glass out of the clamps, the glass may return to original position
due to elasticity of the rubber clamps.
8. Loosen torx bolts securing glass.
9. Lift glass out of clamps and move glass rearward by the amount of the observed gap at initial inspection. (Figure 21)
249
10. Lower glass back into the clamps.
11. Secure front glass torx bolts to 10 Nm (7 lbf-ft).
12. Temporarily connect the harness to confirm operation of window glass and ensure window glass has been set correctly and can raise fully.
(Figure 22)
13. Install partially removed plastic sheet and verify that a good seal to the door panel has been achieved.
14. Refer to GTR Workshop Manual section 76.34.01 and install the front door casing.
15. Verify correct operation of door mounted switchpack and speakers after the door casing is installed.
REPAIR 13: ALL VEHICLES
A general wind noise and whistle from top of windshield at speeds in excess of 50mph (80km/h) may be heard. The noise could be caused by the
leading edge of the roof rail finisher lifting.
1. Unclip roof rail finisher, position the finisher correctly, and reinstall the clip. (Figure 23)
