Item

Description

Engine hoist and sling

SWL if 150 Kg (min)

7.3.1.1) Screen wash/wipe

NOTE

The bracket for the washer bottle must be

fixed to the front of the passenger side

foot box before the engine is installed.

Remove the securing nut from the base of

the washer jet (polythene bag marked

'miscellaneous') and pass the washer jet

through the hole in the centre of the

scuttle and secure with the plastic

securing nut. Fit the clear plastic tubing to

the washer jet. Dip the end of the clear

plastic tubing in hot water to soften in

order to make fitting easier.

Route the clear washer tubing along the

wiring loom behind the dashboard and

attach using cable ties, to prevent it falling

down into view. Pass it down through the

large grommet in the top of the

transmission tunnel and along the engine

bay diagonal tube until in line with the

washer bottle. Trim the tube to length and

attach to the washer motor.

Connect the washer motor to the wiring

loom via the two pin plug adjacent to the

washer bottle mounting. To ease fitment

of the two pin plug the washer motor can

be removed from the washer bottle, the

two pin plug fitted and the washer motor

reinserted into the washer bottle.

The windscreen wipers must not be fitted

until the wiper motor has been run and

allowed to park in order to prevent

damage to the paintwork. Fit the wiper

arms so that they are horizontal when

parked. The wiper arms must move

smoothly through their range of travel.

NOTE

A small amount of water splashed on the

windscreen will prevent the wiper blades

from juddering during test and adjustment.

lubricant to the long end of the hose and

the short end sits along the LH side of the

engine refer figure94. Secure using a
