    							Wheel changing
    108 Positioning the bottle 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 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 locate between the flange at the
    end of the axle casing and the large bracket to
    which the front suspension members are
    mounted.
    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.
    Care of the jack
    Occasionally, clean and grease the moving
    parts (particularly the ram/pillar) to prevent
    rust.
    The bottle jack oil level should be checked at
    normal servicing intervals and if necessary
    topped up with an hydraulic oil with a
    viscosity to BS 4231 grade 32 and ISO proof
    32.
    To avoid contamination, the bottle jack should
    always be returned to its fully closed position
    and must always be stowed upright.

    109
    Operating the pillar jack(if supplied)
    For any wheel:
    1.Remove the rubber plug (1) from the
    jacking tube corresponding to the wheel to
    be changed.
    2.Insert the jack pillar into the base (2).
    3.Fit the handle (3) to the pillar and adjust
    the height so the jacking peg (4) can be
    inserted into the jacking tube.
    NOTE:The jack handle operates as a ratchet -
    one side raises the jack, then turn the handle
    over to lower the jack.
    WARNING
    ENSURE that you are familiar with operating
    the jack BEFORE using it to raise a vehicle.
    ONLY jack the vehicle using the jack
    location points described or personal injury
    or damage to the vehicle could occur.
    DO NOT use the jack without the base fitted -
    the vehicle would not be properly supported
    and could cause personal injury.
    ENSURE that the peg is FULLY engaged in
    the jacking tube.
    ENSURE that the pillar is vertical NOT at an
    angle.

    110 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 brace 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 (DO NOT damage the surface of
    alloy wheels (if fitted) by placing them face
    down on the road).
    ·On vehicles fitted with alloy wheels, use an
    approved anti-seize compound to treat 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 brace, 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.
    WARNING
    After wheel changing, always secure tools,
    chock, jack and spare wheel in their correct
    storage positions. 
    						
    							Wheel changing
    111 LOCKING WHEEL NUTS
    In some markets, vehicles fitted with alloy
    wheels are equipped with a locking wheel nut
    on each wheel. 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 letter if
    replacement components are required. Keep
    the card in a safe place away from the vehicle.
    For security reasons, store the key socket and
    extractor tool out of sight, in a secure 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
    112 WADING PLUGS
    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.
    NOTE:On some models, to access the
    wading plugs, it will be necessary to remove
    the front and rear engine undertray access
    panels - see Engine undertray, in the
    Workshop maintenance section of this
    handbook.
    Under severe wading conditions, the timing
    cover and flywheel housing must be sealed to
    prevent the ingress of mud and water. Fit the
    plugs, supplied in the tool kit, as illustrated.
    Remove the plugs immediately after wading,
    or periodically if the vehicle is required to do
    prolonged wading or very muddy work.

    							Fuses
    113 Fuses are simple circuit breakers which
    protect electrical equipment by preventing the
    electrical circuits from being overloaded.
    Always remove the starter key and switch off
    the affected circuit before removing a fuse.
    Press the fuse extractor (located on the inside
    of the main fuse box cover) onto the head of
    the fuse and pull to remove. Fit a new fuse of
    the same rating. If the replacement fuse fails
    immediately, contact your local Land Rover
    dealer and have the circuit checked.
    WARNING
    Fit only replacement fuses of the same
    rating and type. Always rectify the cause of
    a failure before replacing a fuse. Seek
    qualified assistance if necessary.Fuses are colour coded to help identify their
    amperage, as follows:
    TAN 5
    RED 10
    BLUE 15
    YELLOW 20
    GREEN 30 (air conditioned models
    only)
    The main fuse box is fitted in the centre of the
    dashboard, in front of the main gear lever.
    Remove the cover by releasing the fixing
    screws.
    A label in the fuse box cover shows the
    circuits protected, the fuse ratings and their
    locations. They are also listed on the following
    page.
