LAND ROVER OPERATION MANUAL
IMPORTANT NOMENCLATURE As this manual covers both Right and Left-hand Drive models, reference is made throughout the text to the “left-hand” and “right-hand” sides of the vehicle, rather than to the “near-side” and “off-side.” The “left-hand side” is that to the left hand when viewed from the rear; similarly “left-hand drive” models are those having the driving controls on the left-hand side, again when the vehicle is viewed from the rear.

INTRODUCTION In the design of the Land-Rover every effort has been made to simplify as far as possible the amount of attention which the owner must devote to upkeep. For this manual we have endeavoured, by the use of illustrations, to make the instructions for items of routine maintenance as simple and as clear as possible.
SPECIAL NOTES GUARANTEE. In order to obtain the Certificate of Guarantee operative with your vehicle, it is essential that you should, with the minimum of delay, either fill in and post the guarantee form supplied or ask your supplier to do it for you. Failure to do so may seriously jeopardise any claim you may have on the Company under the terms of the standard guarantee. COOLING SYSTEM.
It may well be that you desire to use the Land-Rover for other purposes besides road-work, even when it is new; it may he required for driving, stationary equipment or for cross-country work necessitating low transfer ratio. In the latter case 15 m.p.h. (25 k.p.h.) should not be exceeded in top gear whilst running-in, with correspondingly lower speeds in the intermediate gears. For stationary work an engine speed of 2,000 r.p.m.
FUSE. The single fuse fitted in the electrical system protects the horn, windscreen wiper, petrol tank gauge unit and rear stop lights. It is situated under a bakelite cover on the engine side of the scuttle panel on the right-hand side a spare fuse is carried under the same cover. In the event of a failure occurring on any of the components detailed, first examine the fuse to make sure that it has not "blown.

MIXTURE CONTROL. The mixture control is situated on the dash to the right, below the instrument panel. It is marked “COLD START” and its operation and also the action of the mixture control warning light are fully described on Page 15. This light is amber in colour and is located in the centre of the instrument panel at the top. Fig. 3. Controls and instruments. A-Clutch pedal. B-Brake pedal. C-Accelerator pedal. D-Hand-brake. E-Horn button. F-Headlamp dipper switch. G-Mixture control.
IGNITION SWITCH. This takes the form of a barrel lock controlled by a small yale-type key, situated in the centre of the main lamp switch on the instrument panel. When the ignition is switched off, the key can be withdrawn. STARTER SWITCH. The switch operating the starter motor is located on the dash to the left below the instrument panel. To operate, press the knob and release as soon as the engine fires. SLOW-RUNNING CONTROL.
PETROL LEVEL GAUGE. The petrol level gauge will always show ZERO when the ignition is switched off. It must be stressed that, while the gauge will always give a reliable indication of the petrol level, it is not a precision instrument and therefore cannot be employed to derive accurate petrol consumption figures. Such tests should always be made with an auxiliary tank of known size. PETROL FILLER.
The control for this operation (known as the "FRONT WHEFL DRIVE LOCK") takes the form of a knob on the gearbox cover. It is so arranged that the freewheel can only be locked by pressing this knob downwards, when the transfer lever is in 'LOW ratio; the unit is automatically returned to its normal free condition when the transfer lever is returned to the HIGH position on resuming hard surface travelling. The control must only he operated when the vehicle is stationary.
STARTING PROCEDURE Before attempting to start the engine, read the special notes which follow. SPECIAL NOTE MIXTURE CONTROL. The mixture control has three positions and there is no graduation between them. The mixture is NORMAL when the control is right in as far as it will go. The WARMINGUP position can be found by pulling out the control until a light click is felt; it is a little more than half-way out. The RICH or STARTING position is with the control right out.
FALSE START. If the engine makes a false start when operating the starter button, i.e., fires and does not continue to run, but throws the starter pinion out of mesh, it is imperative to wait until the pinion and flywheel comes to rest before again pressing the starter button; failure to observe this precaution may jam and bend the “Should the engine fail to start . . . shaft of the starter motor. Should the ascertain why.
Throughout the instructions which follow, approximate speeds are quoted at which the various gear-changes should be made. These are given only to serve as a guide to owners who are unaccustomed to the Land-Rover; naturally they can be modified considerably as experience is gained under various operating conditions. At all times care should be taken against "racing" the engine and a "change-up" should be made well before the engine revolutions reach their peak.
Repeat these operations for changing from third to top gear speed of approximately 20-25 m.p.h. (35-40 k.p.h.). CHANGING DOWN. To change down from top to third gear, depress the clutch pedal and ease the foot off the accelerator; move the gear lever gently but firmly towards third gear position, when the same "dwell" will be felt before third gear engages. Accelerate and let in the clutch.
Low ratio is used when the vehicle is to be operated on heavy ground and for heavy pulling. When low ratio is employed the same instructions for gear changing should be followed except that all the changes must be “Low ratio is used . . . on heavy ground and made at much lower vehicle for heavy pulling.” speeds, i.e., First to second within two or three vehicle lengths of starting. Second to third - 6 m.p.h. (10 k.p.h.). Third to top - 10 m.p.h. (15 k.p.h.).
LUBRICATION GENERAL INSTRIFCTIONS. One of the, most important factors in the performance and durability of any vehicle is its lubrication. This is especially true of the Land-Rover because of the diverse conditions under which it may be called upon to perform. We are in your hands; not being able to stand over you and see that you put the right lubricant in the right place at the right time, we can only lay down instructions and hope that they will be carried out.
quote accurate equivalent time intervals when the vehicle is employed on field work or as a mobile power plant, owing to. the diversity of such applications. An attempt has been made to give average intervals in terms of operation hours and these should be followed as a general guide, but in many cases this will largely be a matter that must be left to the good judgement of the operator; obviously in dry dusty weather, certain operations must be carried out much more frequently than during rainy spells.

Do not fill beyond the H mark, otherwise you may experience trouble with sooted plugs and the engine may require more frequent decarbonisation than is really necessary. The engine oil-level should be checked daily in this way and topped up as found necessary. The oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel will glow when, for any reason, the oil pressure drops below 10 to 12 lb. per sq. in. (0,7 to 0,8 Kg.).
The filter can be detached without removing the sump by unscrewing the large brass plug on the right-hand side of the sump (Fig.6). EXTERNAL OIL FILTER. In addition to the coarse gauze suction filter in the sump, the oil is cleaned by means of an AC. type ZS1 pressure filter mounted externally on the engine. This filter continually cleans a proportion of the oil drawn from the front end of the bearing gallery pipe, the return being direct to the sump by external pipeline (Fig. 7).
MAIN GEARB0X LUBRICATION. Under extreme winter conditions, the oil should be changed on receipt of the vehicle to the appropriate grade. Every 1,000 miles (1.500Km.) or 30 hours, the main gearbox oil level should be checked and replenished as necessary. The dip-stick and filler cap on top of the gearbox are accessible through the cover plate on the gearbox cover in front of the seat-box; the level should be kept up to the “H” mark on the stick (Fig. 7).

Under extreme winter conditions, the oil should be changed on receipt of the vehicle to the appropriate grade. While it is necessary to make sure that the axles receive sufficient lubrication, it is important to avoid an excess of oil.

The total capacity of each unit is approximately 1 pint (0,5 litre). STEERING LUBRICATION.
SUMMARY OF POINTS REQUIRING REGULAR ATTENTION Use only the recommended lubricants listed on the two following pages. These maintenance items are listed for the main part on a mileage basis, but it will be appreciated that in many cases the necessity for attention is also related to running hours, especially where the vehicle is used largely for driving stationary equipment or slow-speed agricultural work.

A few spots of oil should be applied to all exposed joints, such as throttle joints, brake joints, door locks and hinges, etc., as frequently as possible - at least once every month.
ENGINE TIMING OCTANE SELECTOR. The timing of the ignition is controlled automatically by mechanism in the distributor. In addition, an octane selector is fitted. This is a vernier adjustment attached to the distributor (Fig. 7) fitted with a sliding portion controlled by an adjusting screw and a calibrated scale marked R (retard) and A (advance) with a number of divisions between.
VALVE TIMING. If the timing chain and hydraulic tensioner should have been removed, the procedure to re-time the engine is as follows (See Fig. 11). (1) Set the exhaust tappets as instructed on Page 38 and slacken the inlet tappet adjusting screws as far as possible. (2) Rotate the camshaft in the running direction until No. 1 exhaust valve is fully open. The use of a dial indicator is the only reliable method of determining this point. It should be mounted on a stud adjacent to No.
do the job correctly without a dial indicator, but much time is wasted and the possibilities of an error very much magnified. (3) Rotate the engine in the running direction until the E.P. mark oil the flywheel is in line with the pointer. (4) Fit the timing chain, ensuring that there is no slack on the driving side (G). (5) Hold the ratchet pawl (E) clear and replace the complete pulley (C, F and H), meshing the pulley with the chain. (6) Check the timing and correct if necessary.
set-screw to give the correct clearance by means of a screw- driver. The lock-nut should be securely tightened after adjustment, great care being taken to ensure that this operation does not upset the clearance. Fig. 12. Inlet tappet adjustment Fig. 13. Exhaust tappet adjustment A – Tappet adjusting screw B – Lock nut C – Feeler gauge The tappet clearance should be set with the engine either cold or at running temperature and it is essential to ensure that the valve to be adjusted is really closed.

To increase the free pedal travel, turn the nut in an anti-clockwise direction half a turn at a time and make sure that the nut is against the pin, before checking the pedal movement. (Fig. 14).
Fig. 15. Radiator filler cap A – Pressure relief valve (steam escape → → →) B – Depression relief valve damage. A vacuum valve is also fitted to the filler cap to relieve the depression resulting when the engine has cooled down after running at extremely high temperatures. The standard radiator cap incorporates a relief valve which opens at approximately 5 lb. per sq. in. (0,35 Kg/cm2.).
joint ring. Its purpose is to provide rapid warming-up by causing the coolant to circulate only round the engine until a predetermined temperature is reached, when it opens to allow full circulation through the radiator. The unit operates at 167 – 190 F. (75 – 88 C.) and this setting cannot be altered in any way.
SERVICE ATTENTION. It is a good plan to always inspect the cooling system at the same time as the engine oil level is checked, i.e., daily under normal conditions. This care would largely prevent the possibility of a sudden and costly delay due to coolant loss and consequent engine failure. The inspection need only take a few moments and should include the following points:(i) Water level in radiator – should be to the bottom of the filler neck.
The anti-freezing mixture should be well mixed to the required strength in a separate container and added after thoroughly flushing out the system (do not simply add the correct amount of glycol through the radiator filler); run the engine for a short while to assist good circulation. It is important when the winter is over, that steps be taken not only to drain off the mixture, but to flush the system through several times with very hot soda water in order to remove all traces.
The filler is readily accessible by lifting the lid in the top of the seat-box on the right-hand side (Fig 4). Except on a few early vehicles, a strap is provided on the back-rest panel to hold the lid in the open position. Turn the cap in an anticlockwise direction to lift it off, which action will reveal a filler tube which can be drawn out and locked by a slight movement to the left, to facilitate filling. Care should be taken to prevent “Care should be taken to prevent the entry of water.

Detach the sediment bowl and clean if necessary. Check that the pipe from the pump to the sediment bowl is clear by blowing down it with a tyre pump from the fuel pump end. Check that the pipe from the sediment bowl to the tank .is clear by blowing from the bowl end. Reconnect the pipes and replace the sediment bowl.

The simplest way to check this point is to disconnect the flexible pipe from the carburettor and allow the pump to deliver into a can.
AIR CLEANER. A small centrifugal pre-cleaner separates the coarser particles of foreign matter before the air passes into the top of the main cleaner body. The air is diverted down a large diameter tube in the centre of the cleaner, at the bottom of which a sharp reversal of direction takes place, thus depositing the majority of the dust into the oil reservoir in the detachable tray forming the bottom of the cleaner.
The oil bowl forming the bottom of the cleaner is secured to the body by means of three further (small) clips; when replacing the bowl, align the white marks on the cleaner body and bowl to ensure correct location of the clips. The correct oil level in the bowl is indicated by. a ring formed in the pressing; the capacity is approximately 2 pints (1 litre). Two engine breather pipes from the crankcase and top rocker cover are led into the carburettor duct.

Economy jet (Gu) is located at the side of the accelerator pump housing, opposite the pump jet. Starter petrol jet (Gs) is a plain hexagon-headed unit at the rear of the carburettor.
STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT. The only adjustment provided is to the top journal bearing. This consists of a cup secured by a lock-ring in the top of the outer column and two races, the lower one being fitted to the inner column before assembly, after which the balls are put in place and the top race adjusted by a hexagon nut and lock-nut.
Jack up each wheel in turn. On the back face of the brake anchor plate, will be found a hexagon adjustment bolt (A), which operates a snail cam bearing on the leading shoe. Only one of these is fitted to each wheel brake unit, thereby providing single-point adjustment. Spin the wheel and rotate the adjuster bolt until the brake shoe contacts the drum, then ease the adjuster until the wheel again rotates freely. Repeat for the other three wheels. NOTE.
early vehicles). The fluid level should be inspected weekly and topped-up as necessary until the reservoir is three-quarters full. Use only genuine Girling Crimson Brake Fluid, which can be obtained from any Rover Dealer or Girling Agent. BLEEDING THE BRAKE SYSTEM. If the level of the fluid in the reservoir is allowed to fall too low, or if any section of the brake pipe-line is disconnected, the brakes will feel “spongy” due to air having been absorbed into the system.
WHEELS AND TYRES Your Land-Rover is equipped with Dunlop tyres. Dunlop 6.00-16 Trakgrip T28 pattern tyres are fitted as standard equipment and are ideal for general cross-country work, towing, etc.; they are also serviceable on road or track. Fig. 23. Dunlop 6.00 – 16 Trakgrip T28 Tyre Fig. 24. Dunlop 7.00 – 16 Trakgrip T25 Tyre As alternative equipment, Dunlop 7.
TYRE PRESSURES. If maximum tyre life and performance are to he obtained then careful attention must he given to the question of correct tyre pressures. For NORMAL ROAD AND CROSS-COUNTRY work, tyre pressures must be maintained at:Front. 20 lb. per sq. in. 1,4 Kg. /cm2. Rear. 26 lb. per sq. in. 118 Kg. /cm2 When LOADS IN EXCESS OF 55OLB. (250KG.) are carried in the rear of the vehicle, pressures in the REAR TYRES ONLY must be raised to 30 lb. per sq. in. (2,1 Kg. /cm2.).
time, the spare wheel should be fitted to give it a spell of duty and one of the other wheels removed to become the spare. TYRE EXAMINATION. Examine the tyres frequently for flints, nails, etc., which may be embedded. in the tread and also for cuts, penetrations and oil. Flints and sharp objects should be removed with a penknife or similar tool; if neglected, the foreign body may work through the cover and puncture the tube. Oil and grease should not be allowed to get on the tyres.
5. 6. 7. CLIMATIC CONDITIONS. In the British Isles, the rate of tread wear on the warm, dry roads in summer can be twice as fast as on the cold, wet surfaces common in winter. In certain overseas territories the difference may be even more marked. ROAD SURFACE. Road surfaces vary enormously in their effect upon tyre wear. WHEEL ALIGNMENT. It is most important that correct front wheel alignment be maintained, otherwise the tyre treads will be worn off laterally.
3. Insert a lever at the valve position, and while pulling on this lever, press the head into the well of the rim diametrically opposite the valve position. Insert a second lever close to the first and prise the bead over the rim flange, holding the removed portion of the bead with the first lever. 4. Remove one lever and re-insert a little further away from the first lever. Continue round the bead, proceeding in small steps, until the bead, is completely removed. Remove the inner tube. 5.
4. Inflate the inner tube until it is just rounded out, dust with French chalk and insert it in the cover with the valve through the hole in the rim, taking care that the valve is on the correct side of the rim. 5. Press the bead into the rim well diametrically opposite the Valve and insert a lever as closely as possible to the point where the bead passes over the flange; lever the bead over the flange. Repeat until the bead is in position all round, finishing at the valve position. 6.
REMOVAL 1. Remove the valve cap and core to deflate the tyre and place them clear of dirt or grit. 2. Press each bead in turn away from the flange, using levers and working round the tyre in small steps. Two or three circuits of the tyre may be necessary to free the beads completely. 3. Slacken and remove the clamping nuts. Remove the upper half of the wheel. Push the valve through the lower half of the wheel and remove the cover and tube. FITTING 1. Thoroughly examine the cover for nails, flints, etc.
5. Fit the other half of the wheel and tighten the clamping nuts lightly. Finally tighten the nuts in the sequence illustrated. Check that the valve is free and inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure. TYRE AND WHEEL BALANCE. In the interests of smooth riding, precise steering and the avoidance of high speed reaction, Dunlop tyres are balanced to close limits. During assembly of the vehicle, small balance weights are then used to attain an even higher degree of balance on wheel and tyre units.
ELECTRICAL EQUIIPMENT BATTERY. The battery is carried under the bonnet on the right of the engine. The electrolyte level should be checked at intervals of 1,000 miles (1.500 KM.) in the following manner:- Fig. 27. Topping-up battery, using a hydrometer Remove the filler plug from each cell of the battery and examine the level of the electrolyte in each cell. If necessary, add sufficient distilled water to bring the electrolyte level with the tops of the separators.
Occasionally check the condition of the battery by taking hydrometer readings of the specific gravity of the electrolyte in each of the cells. Readings should not be taken immediately after "topping-up" the cells. The specific gravity readings and their indications are as follows:1.280-1.300 (32° - 34° Baume) Battery fully charged. About 1.210 (25° Baume) Battery about half discharged. Below 1.150 (19° Baume) Battery fully discharged. These figures are given assuming the temperature of the solution is 60°F.
and the battery should be sent to a Lucas Service Depot or Agent for overhaul. NOTE:- If the vehicle is to be left in the open in very cold weather, care must be taken to ensure that the battery is in a good state of charge, otherwise there is danger of the electrolyte freezing and consequent damage to the battery. DYNAMO. The dynamo is of the compensated voltage type and operates in conjunction with the regulator unit which is housed along with the cut-out in the control box.
A discharge reading may be given immediately after switching on the headlamps. This usually happens after a long run, when the voltage of the battery is high. After a short time, the battery voltage will fall, and the regulator will respond, causing the dynamo output to balance the load. When starting from cold, the charging current will rise until it reaches a steady maximum at a speed of say, 20 m.p.h. (35 k.p.h.) after which it will remain fairly high for about 10 .
STARTER. When starting, observe the following points:1. See that the controls are properly set. (See Page 15). 2. Operate the starter switch firmly and release it as soon as the engine fires. 3. Do not operate the starter when the engine is running. If the engine will not fire at once, allow it to come to rest before operating the switch again. (See Page 16). 4. Do not run the battery down by keeping the starter on when the engine will not start.

with a fine carborundum stone or with very fine emery cloth. Afterwards wipe away any trace of dirt or metal dust with a petrol-moistened cloth. Cleaning of the contacts is made easier if the contact breaker lever carrying the moving contact is removed. To do this, slacken the nut on the terminal post and lift off the end of the contact breaker spring which is slotted to facilitate removal.. The lever can then be lifted off its pivot pin. After cleaning and replacing, check the contact breaker setting.

Connecting H.T. cable to distributor A – Carbon brush B – Screws securing cable To connect cables to the distributor, unscrew the pointed fixing screws on the inside of the moulding and push the cables, which should not be bared but cut off flush to the required length, well home into their respective terminals and tighten the fixing screws. The screw securing the centre cable is accessible when the carbon brush is removed. REPLACEMENT BULBS.
HEADLAMPS. (Vehicles numbered prior to 06112001). The setting of the headlamp should be checked by placing the vehicle in front of a blank wall at the greatest possible distance, taking care that the surface on which the vehicle is standing is not sloping relative to the wall. The lamps are fitted with dual-filament bulbs and must be set so that the main beams of light are parallel with the road and with each other.
HEADLAMPS. (Vehicles numbered 06112001 onwards). To remove the light unit for bulb replacement, first slacken the securing screw and lift off the rim. Remove the dust-excluding rubber, when three spring-loaded adjustment screws will be visible. Press in the light unit against the tension of the screw springs and turn it in an anti-clockwise direction until the heads of the screws can be disengaged through the slotted holes in the light unit rim.
When refitting, the front and reflector, locate the tongue on the lamp in the slot in the scuttle and turn the lamp in an anti-clockwise direction. Finally secure by means of the locating screw. STOP AND TAIL LAMPS. To effect bulb replacement, slacken the securing screw and swing open the cover; the bulbs are then accessible in the lamp body. CLEANING LAMP REFLECTORS.
To stop the unit, move the switch downwards to the off position, pull out the handle and turn the end into the top of the switch control. No adjustment or lubrication is necessary, as the gears are fully lubricated before leaving the Works. To remove the arm and blade assembly, slacken the fixing nut and tap sharply to release the collet which clamps the arm on to the spindle. Then remove the complete assembly.
OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT. The oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel glows when, for any reason, the engine oil pressure drops below 10 to 12 lb. per sq. in. (0,7 to 0,8 Kg./cm2.). It will, therefore, light up when the engine is stationary and will go out when the engine has started and the oil pressure has built up to exceed this figure.
IN CASE OF TROUBLE LOCATION AND REMEDY OF FAULTS Although every precaution is taken to eliminate all possible causes of trouble, failure may occasionally develop through lack of attention to the equipment, or damage to the wiring. The following pages set out the recommended procedure for a systematic examination to locate and remedy the causes of some of the more probable faults which may occur during the “Failure may develop through life of the vehicle.
5. (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) 6. (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) Remove the cable from each sparking plug terminal in turn and hold it so that the end is about ¼ in. (7 mm.) away from some metal part of the chassis, while the engine is turned over; if sparks jump the gap regularly, the coil and distributor are functioning correctly. If the sparks are strong and regular, remove and clean the sparking plugs and re-set the electrode gaps to .023-.026 in. (0,60-0,65 mm.).
7. Check that the manifold drain pipe (below the carburettor) is not blocked, by depressing the accelerator pedal fully two or three times and noting that a few drops of petrol run out of the drain pipe. If not, remove and clean the pipe. ENGINE STARTS BUT SOON STOPS. 1. 2. (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) 3. (i) (ii) (iii) 4. 5. Check that the controls are set correctly. (Page 15).
ENGINE MISFIRES Engine running on less than four cylinders, either intermittently or continually. 1. 2. Stop the engine and endeavour to re-start with the starter motor to check the state of the battery and connections. If the battery is in a low state of charge, it will need recharging from an independent electrical supply, and the charging circuit should be checked as directed on Pages 81-82. Remove the lead from each sparking plug in turn and check:(i) By holding the end of the lead about ¼ in. (7 mm.
3. If the “missing” is accompanied by “spitting back” through the carburettor, a valve may be sticking. This can often be cured by slowly dropping oil or upper cylinder lubricant into the carburettor intake, while the engine is running. LACK OF ENGINE POWER. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Check that the carburettor throttle is opening fully. Check that the brakes are not binding and that the tyre pressures are correct. (Page 57). Check that the carburettor jets are not blocked (in the following order).
2. Battery Overcharged. This will be indicated by burnt-out bulbs, very frequent need for topping-up of battery and high hydrometer readings. Check the ammeter reading when the vehicle is running steadily – with a fully charged battery and no lights or accessories in use, the charge reading should be of the order of only 3-4 amperes. If the ammeter reading is in excess of this value, it is advisable to have the regulator setting tested and adjusted if necessary by a Service Depot or Agent.
3. Starter Pinion Will Not Disengage from Flywheel When Engine is Running. Stop the engine, and see if the starter pinion is jammed in mesh with the flywheel, releasing it if necessary by rotation of the squared end of the starter shaft in the opposite direction to normal rotation. If the pinion persists in sticking in mesh, have the equipment examined at a Service Depot. Serious damage may result to the starter if it is driven by the flywheel. LIGHTING CIRCUITS. 1. Lamps Give Insufficient Illumination.
STANDARD BODY FITTINGS. SEATS. Each front seat cushion is fitted with two rubber plugs which locate in holes in the seat-box, thus making it readily detachable, but at the same time ensuring that it will not move when in use. DOORS. The doors may be removed or replaced as shown in Fig. 35, with the sidescreen detached and the door panel swung forward parallel with the front wing. Fig. 35. Door fitting. SIDESCREENS. The method of fitting the sidescreens is shown in Fig.
Fig. 36. Sidescreen fitting HOODS. Two types of hood are available for the Land-Rover, known as the “driver's” pattern (Fig. 43) which covers the front seat only and the “fulllength” which encloses the complete vehicle (Fig. 37); a detachable rear curtain is supplied with the “driver's” type. In conjunction with the doors and sidescreens, complete all-weather protection is thereby ensured. FITTING THE FULL-LENGTH HOOD. Select the two U-shaped tubular hood sticks.

Place the hood over the hood-sticks and engage the front hood eyes (G) with the retainers on the outside of the top windscreen rail. Loop the hood straps under the front hood-stick, engage the hooks with the windscreen sockets (H) on the inside front of the windscreen (Fig. 40) and tighten. Pull the rear hood straps (J) tight and attach to the staples on the rear of the body (Fig. 42). Secure the side curtains to the front hood-stick, using the small straps (S) sewn to the curtain.
Fig. 43. Driver’s hood. Place the hood over the hood-stick and straps and engage the eyes at the front with the hooks on the outside of the windscreen top rail. The sides of the hood may now be wrapped round the upright members of the hoodstick; secure them by placing the eyes over the wire loops and threading the webbing tongues through the loops.
TOWING ATTACHMENTS. Two forms of towing attachment are supplied as standard equipment for the Land-Rover-a towing plate and a pintle pin. TOWING PLATE. The towing plate is designed to suit a large variety of farm appliances and machinery, this fact being well shown by the notes which follow regarding the different positions in which it may be fixed to the rear of the chassis. (Fig. 44). The rear drawbar has fixing holes at 3 in. (75 mm.
box. The three pins in the socket are numbered and the connections are as follows:No. 1 2 3 Position Top Bottom L.H. Bottom R.H.
EXTRA EQUIPMENT. TRAFFICATORS. Provision is made for trafficators which can either be fitted to order on a new vehicle or supplied later as extra equipment. (Fig. 46). Fig. 46. Trafficators. A – Trafficator. B – Trafficator switch. C – Governor control quadrant. The operation switch, mounted on the windscreen panel, should be moved through about 45° in the direction of the proposed turn; it must be returned by hand to the central “OFF” position when the turn has been completed. VEHICLE HEATER.
Fig. 47. Vehicle heater. REAR SEATS. (EXPORT ONLY). Seats to fit over the rear wheel arches can be supplied as extra equipment if required. The seats, each to take two persons, are of the bench type. Fig. 48. Rear seat installation. When not in use, the seats with cushions ran be folded up to allow maximum storage space, a strap being provided to hold the seat base up against the back rest.
The seat cushions can also be removed, if desired, being held solely by tapes to the seat frame. WINDSCREEN VENTILATOR. In warm weather, extra ventilation may be obtained by fitting a hinged flap in place of the metal panel across the lower portion of the windscreen. The ventilator is secured in the closed position, by means of three clips and wing nuts, against a rubber strip to prevent draughts; when opened it provides a current of cool air across the full width of the vehicle. Fig. 49.
over the inner edge of the wheel. To ensure even weight distribution, four rubber support blocks are supplied which should be bolted to the panel so that the weight is taken on the tyre wall; the two thick blocks should be used at the sides and the thin ones at front and rear. With the spare wheel carried on the bonnet in this way, it is not possible to fold the windscreen into the horizontal position. COMBINE HARVESTER TOWING PLATE.
No maintenance attention is required at this point as lubrication is provided by the oil in the transfer casing. An engine governor must be fitted when either the centre or rear pulley drive is in use. The procedure for fitting the power take-off drive and selector units to the gearbox is as follows:Remove the centre inspection panel from the seat box. Remove the four nuts and spring washers securing the top cover-plate on the transfer casing and lift off the cover complete with joint washer.

ratio as high as possible. The vehicle speeds in all combinations of gears and governor positions are given in the chart on Page 101. REAR POWER TAKE-OFF. The rear power take-off unit, mounted on the rear chassis cross-member, is driven by a propeller shaft from the flanged output shaft at the rear of the gearbox; the standard six-splined output shaft (ten-splined on a few early vehicles) is on the centre-line of the vehicle and provides power for towed equipment, such as a mower, binder, etc. (Fig. 51).
Lubrication nipples are provided at the sliding joint and both universal joints on the propeller shaft; they should be lubricated at intervals of 500 hours, using the correct grade of oil. The power take-off housing is provided with a drain plug and a combined oi1 level/filler plug at the side. Check the oil level every 30 hours by removing the level plug; if any oil runs out, allow it to do so, but if the level is low add oil of the correct grade until it reaches the bottom of the level hole.

With the gears interchanged, the take-off output shaft R.P.M. at any given engine speed are increased by 36/25 over the R.P.M. shown in the table. For example:At governor position 1, i.e., engine speed 1,500 R.P.M., with top gear engaged in the main gearbox, the chart shows that take-off speed is 1,250 R.P.M. with the standard 5:6 reduction. Under the same conditions, but with the gears transposed, take- off speed would be increased to 1,800 R.P.M.
REAR PULLEY DRIVE. The 8in. (200 mm.) rear pulley unit (Fig. 52) is so designed that it may be attached to the rear drive unit in place of the guard by means of four spring washers and nuts, thus making for easy installation and removal. A combined oil level/filler plug is provided at the side of the housing. Check the oil level every 30 hours by removing the plug; if any oil runs out, allow it to do so, but if the level is low add oil of the correct grade, until it reaches the bottom of the level hole.

Two spare pins are supplied with the winch; the correct part must always be used for replacement purposes, as the transmission would be liable to damage if a stronger pin were fitted. Lubrication attention to this unit is most important. The filler plug on the left of the winch casing is combined with a dipstick, and a drain plug is fitted in the bottom of the casing. The oil level should be inspected at intervals and topped up as necessary to the level mark on the dipstick.

LAND-ROVER TRAILER. A two-wheeled Brockhouse trailer has been specially designed for use with the Land-Rover; its normal capacity is 1680 lb. (760 Kg.), but over exceptionally rough ground the load should be restricted to 1440 lb. (650 Kg.). The main features of this trailer are shown at Fig. 54; chief dimensions are as follows:- Fig. 54. Brockhouse Land-Rover trailer. Body length 72 in. (1,82 m). width 36 in. (914 mm.). depth 18 in. (457 mm.). capacity 27 cu. ft. (0,76 m3 .). Overall width 61 in.
LAND-ROVER MOBILE WELDING PLANT. The Land-Rover when converted into a mobile welding plant, can be fitted with both gas and electric welding equipment. The Lincoln “Shield Arc Junior” welding generator is fitted on the centreline of the vehicle, mounted partly in place of the centre seat and partly in the rear body compartment. It is driven from the centre power take-off by means of three Vee belts. Fig. 55. Land-Rover Welding Plant.
LAND-ROVER STATION WAGON. The Station Wagon version of the Land-Rover is illustrated below. It is built on the standard chassis and as far as maintenance is concerned, differs from the standard vehicle only in the lighting equipment fitted. Fig. 56. Land-Rover Station Wagon (side view). Fig. 57. Land-Rover Station Wagon (rear view).
The passenger's door can be locked by pulling the inner door handle backwards as far as possible; this can be done before the door is shut, or from the inside after the door is shut. The driver's door and tailboard are fitted with locking handles which can be locked using the ignition key. The rear window may be opened from either inside or outside the vehicle, irrespective of whether the tailboard is up or down; it is fitted with springloaded 1inkage which retains it in the fully open position.
