Section A3
Precautions
The information contained within this section highlights
important notes, warnings, and precautions listed in the
appropriate Chapter of the manual. Th is section should
be used as a quick reference guide to any features
considered essential for the safety of either the operator
or the vehicle .
The list is not exhaustive_
In the interests of health and hygiene, items
normally used in service workshops such as anti-freeze.
hydraulic system mineral oil, lubricants, engine oil ,
adhesives, cleaning agents, etc., should all be treated
with extreme caution . As these items can be of a toxic
nature they must not be swallowed and contact with the
skin must be kept to an absolute minimum.
Manufacturers' instructions should be followed carefully.
Workshop safety
Whenever any work is being carried out on the vehicle
with the engine running, always ensure that the gear
range selector lever is in the park position, the parking
brake is applied, and fuse A6 is removed from fuse panel
F2 on the main fuseboard.
Towing the vehicle
Before towing the vehicle note the following.
Do not tow the vehicle to start the engine.
Do not tow the vehicle if any mechanical damage to
the transmission is suspected.
Do not tow the vehicle with a low fluid level in the
torque converter transmission.
If it is necessary to tow the vehicle for even a short
distance a solid tow bar must be used. A speed of
56 km/h (35 mile/h) and a maximum distance of 80
kilometres (50 miles) must not be exceeded .
For towing distances in excess of 80 kilometres (50
miles) either disconnect the propeller shaft or transport
the vehicle.
Always tow the vehicle with the torque converter
transmission in neutraL
Metric components
A number of the nuts, bolts, and setscrews used in the
manufacture of these ca rs are dimensioned to the metric
system. It is important therefore, that when new parts
become necessary the correct replacements are obtained
and fitted .
Chapter B - Special processes
Storage
When the car is stored, always ensure that the battery
master switch is turned to the OFF position.
If any electrical connections or disconnections are
required, always disconnect the battery.
Re com missioning
Always ensure that the battery is removed from the car
before charging.
5/88

Chapter C - Air conditioning
Danger - Exhaust gases
Due to the danger from inhaling exhaust gases the
engine should not be operated for long periods in a
confined space e.g . private garage. Sitting in the car
with the air conditioning system operating does not
eliminate this danger.
First aid - Refrigerant burns
If the skin is injured by refrigerant it should be
bathed with clean cold water and medical attention
sought immediately. Do not apply any localized heat,
hot dressings, etc.
An eye injured by refrigerant must be
immediately washed with clean cold water. The eye
must not be rubbed as this will aggravate the injury.
A doctor should be consulted as soon as
possible after administering emergency treatment.
Chapter E - Engine
Engine oils
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation, and dermatitis. In addition,
used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer. Adequate
means of skin protection and washing facilities should
be provided .
Health protection precautions
Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,
particularly used engine oils.
Wear protectiva clothing , including impervious
gloves where practicable.
Do not put oily rags in pockets.
Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly
underpants, with oil.
Overalls must be cleaned regularly. Discard
unwashable clothing and oil impregnated footwear.
First Aid treatment should be obtained immediately
for open cuts and wounds.
Use barrier creams, applying before each work
period, to help the removal of oil from the skin.
Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is
removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help).
Preparations containing lanolin replace the natural skin
oils which have been removed.
Do not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil,
thinners, or solvents for washing skin.
If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice.
Where practicable, degrease components prior to
handling.
Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection
should be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face
shields; in addition an eye wash facility should be
provided.

Environmental protection precautions
It is illegal to pour used oil onto the ground, down
sewers or drains, or into water courses.
The burning of used engine oil in small space
heaters or boilers is not recommended unless emission
control equipment is fitted; in cases of doubt check with
the Local Authority.
Dispose of used oil through authorized waste
disposal contractors to licensed waste disposal sites, or
to the waste oil reclamation trade _If in doubt, contact
the Local Authority for advice on disposal facilities.
Chapter F - Propeller shaft

Chapter G - Hydrau,ics
A
WARNING
Use only hydraulic system mineral oil (LHM) to
replenish the braking and levelling systems.
Do not use brake fluids (Castro I RR363, Universal,
or any other type). The use of any type of brake fluid,
even in very small amounts, wtll cause component failure
necessitating extensive rectification to the braking and
levelling systems of the car.
Always ensure before fitting any seals, hoses,
pipes. etc., that they are suitable tor a mineral oil system .
For details of correct component identification reference
should be made to Chapter G.
Always ensure that two sealed containers of
hydraulic system mineral oil (LHM) are fitted in the
luggage compartment.
Always ensure that no foreign matter enters the
systems when work is being carried out .
It is of the utmost importance that Service
Personnel should fully appreciate that the hydraulic
systems operate at high pressures .
The systems are designed to operate safely under
normal working conditions, but, when work is performed
on the systems, certain precautions must be observed to
ensure adequate safety to personnel and equipment.
Cleanliness
To ensure correct functioning of the hydraulic systems it
is imperative that meticulous care is taken to ensure
compiete cleanliness at all times.
Operation of the brakes (engine not running)
The service brakes (i.e_ foot brake) consists of two
independent all power systems. The power for these
systems in the form of hydraulic pressure is provided by
two engine driven hydraulic pumps. When the engine
stops, a limited reserve of pressure remains stored in the
hydraulic accumulators. Due to brake operation, natural
internal leakage. and height control system operation
th is energy will be slowly depleted. Although a number
of brake appl icati ans wi II be available immediately after
the engine stops, it is recommended that the service
brakes are not utilized when the engine is not running.
Finally, always remember that if the car is being
manoeuvred without the engine running, the footbrake
will not stop the car if the pressure in the hydraulic
systems is exhausted .
Precautions before working on the car
Before any work, except bleeding and specified tests, is
carried out on the car hydraulics, the systems must be
de pressurized (refer to Section A 7 or Chapter GJ.
With the exception of bleed screws, components
must never be disturbed when the systems are in a
pressurized state.
Hydraulic system mineral oil
The hydraulic braking and height control systems of the
car are filled with hydraulic system mineral oil which is
green in colour. Always refer to Chapter D - Lubricants,
for the correct type of approved hydraulic system
mineral oil to use in the system .
Warning Hydraulic system mineral oil is not miscible
with conventional brake fluids (i.e. RR363 or
Universal types).
Under no circumstances should any fluid other
than the genuine hydraulic system mineral oil be
used.
Contamination of the hydraulic systems with a
conventional vegetable or synthetic type brake fluid will
cause the seals and hoses to deteriorate which could
result in eventual brake faults.
To avoid contamination, all mineral oil containers
and components should be stored in a clearly defined
area away from that used for conventional brake fluid .
Before topping-up the system, if contamination is
at all suspect, check the contents of the mineral oil
reservoirs using the contamination kit RH 284 1.
available from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited at Crewe.
Component identification
Al I components which are susceptible to dam age from
brake fluid are colour coded Green and have a GMF
prefix part number e.g . GMF 1062.
Other components which are not susceptible to
brake fluid damage (i.e. metal pipes and connectors) are
not colour coded and do not have a GMF prefix part
number. It must be stressed however that these parts
must not become contaminated with brake fluid, as this
fluid could circulate to other components in the
hydraulic systems.
Hydraulic accumulator and gas spring spheres
The accumulator and gas spring spheres are charged on
one side of their diaphragms with nitrogen gas prior to
despatch from the factory.
Each sphere is marked with a band of white paint or
a yellow stick-on label when charged. The charge
pressure in 'bars' ( 1 bar= 14.50 lbf/in 2 ) is stamped on
the non-return valve cap at the lower end of the sphere.
It is recommended that spheres are stored and issued
from stock in date sequence.
5/88
A3-2

~
Storage and transportation
To avoid contamination, it is of the utmost importance
that brake fluid and hydraulic system mineral oil
containers and components are kept completely
separate. Conventional brake fluids have a detrimental
effect on rubber seals and hoses used in a mineral oil
system.
Chapter H - Sub-frames and suspension
Urethane foam filled components
The suspension crossmember and fi na I drive
cross member are filled with urethane foam. When using
cutting or welding equipment on the crossmembers
suitable precautions should be taken not to inhale the
toxic gases given off when the tern peratu re exceeds
200°C (3g2"FJ.
Shock dampers
Each shock damper contains nitrogen gas under
pressure. On no account should the damper be
subjected to undue force of any description. Do not
clamp the damper in a vice.
If the spring support has seized onto the damper,
renew the shock damper and spring support.
To render a shock damper safe ford isposal, drill a
small hole 25 mm ( 1.0 in) from the closed end of the
outer tube. The escaping gas should not be allowed to
come into contact with eyes or skin whilst under
pressure.
Immediately the hole has been drilled, stand clear
and allow the nitrogen gas to disperse to atmosphere.
Front road springs
Use of the road spring retaining tool RH 8809 should be
restricted to a maximum of 200 applications.
Inspection of the long bolt threads must be made at
frequent i nte rva ls. The person Iifting the com pressed
assembly out of the car must keep their head and body
clear of the tool.
Caster and Camber angles
The caster and camber angles must always be checked
at the same time, as adjustment of one affects the other.
Chapter K - Fuel system (Refer to TSD 4737)
Fuel - To drain
The fuel is highly flammable, and extreme care must be
exercised whenever the system is opened (i.e. pipes or
unions disconnected) or when the fuel is drained. The
following basic rules should apply.
1.
Disconnect the battery.
2.
Place 'No Smoking' signs in the vicinity of the
vehicle.
3.
Ensure that adequate firefighting equipment is
available in the vicinity of the vehicle.
4.
De pressurize the fuel system.
5.
Protective clothing in cl ud i ng safety goggles, gloves,
and aprons should be worn at all times by the operator.
6.
If fuel is to be removed from the tank, it should be
siphoned into a suitable covered container.
Do not run the engine to completely drain the
system as damage to the fuel pump could occur.
Damage to the catalytic converter (if fitted) in the
exhaust system could also occur if the engine is allowed
to run until the fuel system is completely empty.
Health risk
Fuel may contain up to 5% of Benzene as an anti-knock
additive. Benzene is extremely injurious to health (being
carcinogenic) and therefore all contact should be kept
to an absolute minimum, particularly inhalation.
Fuel has a sufficiently high vapour pressure to allow
a hazardous bui Id-up of vapour in poorly ventilated
areas_ The vapours are irritant to the eyes and lungs, if
high concentrations are inhaled it may cause nausea,
headache. and depression. Liquid fuel is an irritant to the
eyes and skin and may cause dermatitis with prolonged
or repeated contact.
If there is contact with fuel the following emergency
treatment is advised.
Ingestion (swallowing)
Do not induce vomiting. Give the patient milk to drink (if
none is available water can be given). The main hazard
after swallowing fuel is that some of the liquid may get
into the lungs. Send the patient to hospital immediately.
Eyes
Wash with a good supply of clean water for at least 1 0
minutes.
'Jacking up' the car
Care must be taken not to leave the car jacked up for
long periods without support to the trailing arms,
otherwise damage may result to the trailing arm
mounting points.
When using a hydraulic jack to raise the car ensure
that a hardwood block is placed between the jack and
the underneath of the car.
The engine front pulley should not be used to
support the engine.
Inhalation (breathing in vapour)
Move the patient into the fresh air. Keep the patient
warm and at rest. If th ere is loss of consciousness give
artificial respiration. Send the patient to hospital.

Workshop Manual_
Cleanliness
It is extremely important to ensure maximum cleanliness
whenever work is carried out on the system.
The main points are.
1.
To prevent the ingress of dirt, always clean the area
around a connection before dismantling a Joint.
Skin contact
Immediately drench the affected parts of the skin with
water. Remove contaminated clothing and then wash all
contaminated skin with soap and water.
5/88
TSO 4700

A3-3
2.
Having disconnected a joint (either fuel or air)
always blank off any open connections as soon as
possible.
3 . Any components that require cleaning should be
washed in clean fuel and dried, using compressed air.
4.
It it is necessary to use a cloth when working on the
system, ensure that it is lint-free.
Fuel injection system
During manufacture, the components of the fuel
injection system are precisely adjusted in order to
comply with the relevant emission control regulations.
Therefore, a Iterations to any of the settings should not
normally be necessary.
Before carrying out any tests, ensure that the
battery is in a fully charged condition .
The control piston, if removed, should be handled
with care as it is machined to very fine tolerances.
Fuel pressure
The fuel injection system contains fuel that may be under
high pressure [approximately 5,2 bar (7 5 lbf/ in 2 )].
Therefore, to reduce the risk of possible injury and fire,
always ensure that the system is depressurized.
Turbocharging system
The turbocharger assembly should never be dismantled.
If the turbocharger is faulty, a service exchange unit
should be fitted.
Prior to the turbocharger being fitted to the engine,
it should be primed with engine oil through the oil feed
pipe.
Never run the engine with the oil feed pipe to the
turbocharger disconnected .
Whenever any components are removed from the
turbocharging system, they should be handled with care
to avoid damaging the machined faces.
An application of Neverseez or similar anti-seize
lubricant should be applied to any exhaust bolts
whenever they are removed to aid dismantling at a future
date.
The wastegate assembly when removed from the
car should be tested with air pressure only and care
should be taken to avoid blanking off the spring cover
vent hole whilst doing so, as this can cause damage to
the diaphragm.
Do not run the engine with the air cleaner
disconnected. The only possible exception being in the
workshop, where care should be taken to avoid dirt and
foreign matter entering the system.
A knock sensor is fitted between cylinders two and
three on both 'A' bank and 'B' bank. Therefore, when any
work is being carried out in these areas, special care
must be taken .
Do not use an exhaust extraction system on the
vehicle. Failure to observe this caution may result in a
temporary leak from the turbocharger oil seal
arrangement.
compounds have a detrimental chemical action on
aluminium alloys.
Thermostat - To test
Important If the water is heated too quickly, or if the
circulation is poor, a false reading may result.
The thermostat has its opening temperature
stamped on the base of the unit, e.g. 88° C { 190° F) .
When fu Ily open, the va Ive should have travel led a
minimum of 9,50 mm (0 .375 in).
Chapter M - Electrical system
(Refer to TS D 4701 and TS D 4848)
Before commencing work on a particular circuit the
following precautions must always be observed.
1. Whenever possible the gear range selector lever
should be placed in the park position, the gearchange
isolating fuse (fuse A6) removed from fuseboard F2, and
the ignition key removed from the switchbox.
In addition, turn the battery master switch (if fitted)
to the OFF position and d isconnect the battery.
2. When reactivating a seat memory ensure that
contact with the seat or seat mechanism is avoided.
Immediately the seat is reactivated it will automatically
move to a pre-set adjustment position.
3. Never disconnect the battery when the engine is
running.
4 . When working on the windscreen wiper system
with the wiper mechanism cover removed , always
disconnect the battery.
5.
Always ensure correct polarity when making cable
connections.
6.
Never use a test lamp on circuits that contain
electronic components .
7.
When working on or in the vicinity of the air
conditioning micro-processor, anti-static precautions, in
particular, the wearing of an anti-static wristband
connected to a good earth, must be observed.
Battery
It is imperative that the battery is disconnected before
commencing work on the electrical system or
components, or if any electric arc weld ing is to be used
on the car.
Battery - To charge
The gases given off during charging are highly
flammable.
Always remove the battery from the car before
charging.
Chapter N - Steering system
Damage can be caused to the steering column and
power assisted steering rack boots if the steering is
operated without the engine running, i.e. distortion to
the column, broken column mounts, and cut rack boots.
Chapter L - Cooling system
Cooling system - To flush
Under no circumstances use a strong alkaline com pound
or detergent to clean the cooling system. Such

Belt tension
A slipping belt will squeal and produce judder at the
steering wheel nearing full lock. Belt dressing must not
be applied to prevent slip.
Steering pump - Priming and filling
When filling an empty system with the engine running, it
is essential that at no time the fluid level in the pump
reservoir be allowed to drop sufficiently for air to be
drawn into the system. If this occurs, irreparable damage
will result.
Chapter R - Wheels and Tyres
Tyre -To fit

most important that soap or other similar agents are not
used.
reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, and oxides of
nitrogen content in the exhaust gases.
The system does not eliminate the danger caused
by inhaling exhaust gases in a confined area.
Before commencing work on the exhaust emission
control system, care should be taken to ensure that the
relevant components are not hot.
Unleaded fuel
Use the correct grade of unleaded fuel only. The use of
leaded fuel will result in a substantial reduction in the
perfo rma nee of the catalyst. Under no ci rcu msta nces
add fuel system cleaning agents for induction into the
engine, as the materials may have a detrimental effect on
the catalytic converter.
Do not allow the vehicle to run out of fuel. If the
vehicle does run out of fuel at high speed, possible
damage to the catalyst could result.
General precautions
Tyre service
Periodically the balance of each wheel should be
checked and corrected if necessary. In the interest of
increased tyre life, the wheels may be changed back and
forth on any one side_ Do not change the wheels from
one side of the car to the other.
To ensure the designed hand Ii ng ch aracte ri sti cs of
the car are achieved, it is important to maintain the
differential in tyre pressures between the front and rear
wheels. For full information refer to Chapter R.
Under no circumstances should any tyres be fitted
which have been branded 'Regraded Quality', 'Remould
Quality' or 'Seconds', or those which have had the speed
rating removed or altered.
Care of tyres
Clean any oil or grease from the tyres using a soap
solution and water, then rinse off with clean water.
Always remove any oil spillage from the tyres
immediately as certain oils, in particular hydraulic
system mineral oil, have a harmful effect on the tyre
rubber if not cleaned off immediately.
Chapter S - Body
Before using adhesives. paints, primers, thinners,
solvents, etc .. refer to Section S3 - Safety procedures.
Urethane foam filled cavities
The lower 'A' post and 'D' post (from waist downwards)
are filled with urethane foam. When using cutting or
welding equipment on these areas suitable precautions
should be taken not to inhale the toxic gases given off
when the temperature exceeds 200" C (392" F).
Chapter T - Transmission
Torque converter transmission - To remove
When removing the transmission from the car always
use the retaining clamp RH7952 (J-21 366). otherwise
the converter may fal I as the transmission is withdrawn.

Cleaning agents and solvents
Throughout this Workshop Manual various cleaning
agents and solvents are recommended. The following
precautions should be observed in their storage and use.
Reference should also be made to the Safety
procedures section contained in Chapter S when
carrying out work on the items covered in Chapter S.
1. Cleaning agents and solvents should only be used
in well ventilated areas.
2.
Ensure that cleaning agents and solvents are kept in
clean containers. Also ensure that the lids fit securely
and are replaced immediately after use.
Do not store or carry solvents in open containers.
3.
Clearly label all containers.
4.
The issue of all solvents should be closely
controlled. Containers should be kept in locked
storerooms with a responsible person in possession of
the key.
5.
In the event of a major spi II age, the area should be
evacuated and then thoroughly ventilated.
6.
Do not dispose of any solvents into open drains.
7.
Avoid skin contact as far as possible. If contact is
likely, wear PVC gloves and an appropriate barrier
cream, such as Rozalex No. 9.
8.
Always protect the eyes with goggles if there is any
danger of the solvents coming into contact with the
eyes.
9.
Use solvents sparingly, cleaning only small areas at
a time. After use, cloths should be deposited into a
closed metal container.
10. Care should be taken when working in an
inspection pit to avoid being overcome with the vapours
from some solvents i.e. Genklene. These vapours are
heavier than air, and therefore collect at low levels.
1 1. Do not smoke in the vicinity of any sdvents.
1 2. Do not allow solvents near any naked flames, hot
surfaces, or welding arcs.
Genklene
Genklene is the I.C.I. trade name for 1 :1 :1trichloroethane. It possesses anaesthetic properties and
the inhalation of high concentrations of vapour will
ca use drowsiness, head ache, and giddiness.
TSO 4700
A3-5
IH,jl
~
Vapours exposed to high temperatures degrade
and produce toxic gases {e.g. Phosgene).
Important Anyone suffering from over exposure to
Genklene vapour should be moved into the
fresh air and medical attention sought
immediately. Do not walk the patient.
Methylated spirit/Petroleum ether
The main hazard of methylated spirit or petroleum ether
is fire, its low flash point making it easily ignited by heat
or flame.
Avoid prolonged or frequent contact with the skin
as it removes the natural oils, which can lead to
dermatitis.
Paraffin
Prolonged or frequent skin contact with paraffin can
cause defatting of the skin, which can lead to dermatitis.
Therefore, it should not be used for cleaning the hands.
Protective clothing should be worn to prevent contact
with the skin, either directly or through contaminated
clothing.
Paraffin is flammable, therefore, the creation of
spray, mist, or vapours, not only increases the fire risk,
but also introduces a health hazard. The inhalation of
high concentrations, may cause dizziness, headache,
and nausea. The vapour is also irritating to the eyes and
mucous membranes.
Fuel (Petrol)
Fuel is a narcotic and inhalation of heavy concentrations
of vapour should be avoided.
Repeated or prolonged contact with the skin can
cause skin disorders. It should not be used for cleaning
the skin as it removes the natural oils.
Fuel may contain up to 5% of Benzene as an antiknock additive. Benzene is extremely injurious to health
(being ca re inogen ic) therefore, a11 contact s ho uId be kept
to an absolute minimum, particularly inhalation.
Suitable protection should always be used e.g.
gloves, aprons, and goggles.
Fuel has a sufficiently high vapour pressure to
cause a hazardous build-up of vapour in poorly
ventilated areas.
The vapours are irritant to the eyes and lungs and if
high concentrations are inhaled it may cause nausea,
headache, and depression.
White spirit
The major hazard of white spirit is skin irritation,
therefore, it should not be used for removing grease.
grime, paint. etc., from the skin. Skin contact should be
avoided and gloves. aprons, etc., should be worn. If there
is any risk of splashes entering the eyes, goggles should
be used.
White spirit should only be used in well ventilated
ereas and unnecessary breathing of the vapours should
be avoided.
white spirit. the patient should be removed from the
hazard, into the fresh air, and medical attention
obtained immediately.
Handling and disposal of components containing
asbestos
These notes are provided for the guidance of Service
Personnel handling components containing asbestos_
1. There is no application on current Rolls-Royce or
Bentley cars involving the use of free asbestos fibres. All
components containing asbestos are produced with the
asbestos bonded into a matrix.
Asbestos is used in the following components.
a.
Heat shields.
b.
Parking brake pads.
c.
Engine gaskets.
d_
Gearbox brake bands.
In non-current cars asbestos is also used in service
brake pads and Iini ngs and, where applicable, in the
brake servo linings.
2. The form of asbestos used in these applications is
chrysotile asbestos.
3. When disposing of parts identified as containing
asbestos, the following procedure is advised.
a.
Hard waste, i.e. parts where the asbestos is bonded
by a matrix, may be hand led and disposed of with out
special precautions [ref. United Kingdom Control of
Pollution (Special Waste) Act 19BO].
b.
Dust containing asbestos, should be removed by
vacuum cleaning. In the United Kingdom the vacuum
cleaner must be approved to BSI 5415 Amendment 4,
Section 2.2 1976 - Vacuum Cleaner Wet and/or Dry.
The bags containing the dust should be disposed of by a
method approved by your Local Authority.
When cleaning or servicing vacuum cleaners it is
necessary to wear an air fed, or approved disposable,
mask. Use of a wet cloth for cleaning is advised, which
should after use, be disposed of in a similar manner to
the asbestos dust.
c.
It is not recommended to cut, abrade, or machine
parts containing asbestos. In the event of it being
necessary, dust formation is reduced by wetting of the
work piece. hand tools, or low speed tools where
possible. Use of local extraction and approved masks is
recommended. The extracted material may need to be
treated as asbestos dust.
4.
Further information regarding the handling of
asbestos can be obtained in the United Kingdom from
local Health and Safety Offices.

Automatic air conditioning system
The automatic air conditioning system supplies hot,
warm, cool, or cold air to the interior of the car.
Air temperature (blend) flaps form the basis of the
system as they are operated by electronic actuators
controlled by signals from a micro- processor board. The
micro-processor board is fed w ith air temperature
information from certain parts of the car and, acting on
this information drives the actuators so that the air
temperature (blend) flaps are moved into the correct
positions to achieve the required in-car air temperature.
The upper and lower systems operate independently.
The system is operated by four switch controls
situated on the facia .
The control marked AIR CONDITIONER has six
positions and enables four automatic positions or a
defrost position to be selected. The system can be
switched off by turning the control to the OFF position.
The override/recirculation switch marked SCREENFACIA and RECIRC can be used to divert the flow of air
from the windscreen to the facia outlets and vice versa,
or to obtain in-car air recirculation.
The switch controls marked UPPER TEMPERATURE
and LOWER TEMPERATURE control the air tern peratu re
in the upper and lower systems.
Automatic height control system
.r\
Hydraulic levelling is achieved by using
/J,;;;,,_,
suspens ion struts in conjunction with gas
, ~ , springs. Alterations to the vehicle weight are
1' supported by the gas springs and the
levelling is effected by pumping extra oil (under pressure
from the accumulators) into the gas spring and strut
assemblies.
Automatic speed control system
The controls for the automatic speed control system are
fitted to the end of the gear range selector lever. The
actuator is mounted on the engine.
Any cruising speed from 48 km/ h (30 mile/ hi up to
speeds in excess of 161 km/h (100 mile/h) may be
selected to give satisfactory operation of the system.
Warning Always ensure that the legal maximum speed
limits are not exceeded.
Body
The car body is steel and is of a monocoque
construction. The doors, luggage compartment lid, and
bonnet are made of light alloy, combining lightness with
strength and rigidity.

Storage and recommissioning
Storage
To ensure the correct degree of protection the
information given under the heading 'Recommended
storage procedure' should be adopted .
The success of this procedure depends upon
correct initial preparation, regular inspection, and
maintenance.
When the car is stored always ensure thatthe
battery master switch is turned anti-clockwise to the
off position. On cars not fitted with a master switch,
disconnect the battery leads.
The storage building should be dry and well
ventilated. If the building is heated, the temperature
must remain constant.
On Convertible cars, ensure that the hood is
raised with the hood clips securely fastened.
Throughout the storage period, the following
recommended storage procedure should be carried
out every two weeks.
Recommended storage procedure
1. Inspect the coolant hoses. If any are found to be
defective, report them to the Owner.
2. Check the engine coolant level and top-up if
necessary .
3. Ensure that the fluid levels in the engine sump,
torque converter transmission, steering pump, final
drive unit, and the braking and levelling system
reservoirs are to the maximum level marks; top-up if
necessary.
On Convertible cars, also ensure that the fluid
level of the power operated hood reservoir is to the
maximum level mark.
It must be noted that the braking and levelling
systems of the car are filled with hydraulic system
mineral oil. When filling or topping-up the reservoirs
it is important that the correct oil is used.
4. Check the tyre pressures including the spare and
adjust if necessary (See Chapter R).
5. Ensure that all controls, instruments, warning
panels, and lamps are operating correctly.
6. Run the car for a minimum of 16 kilometres (10
miles) to ensure complete lubrication of the internal
components.
7. Allow the car to cool, then thoroughly wash the
exterior bodywork as described in Chapter A. Any
damaged paintwork discovered during this operation
should be reported to the Owner.
8. On initial storage, apply a good quality cleaner/
polish followed by a good quality wax polish. Also
thoroughly clean the carpets and upholstery ; treat all
leather upholstery with Connolly's Hide Food.
9. Cover the car with a light cotton or muslin dust
sheet. It should be noted that plastic or similar
materials must not be used for this purpose as they
5/88
Printed in England
© Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1988
can create condensation which, under certain climatic
conditions, can damage the paintwork.
10. Ensure that the tyres a re covered if there is a
possibil ity of sunlight penetrating into the storage
area.
Alternative storage procedures
If it is not possible to carry out the recommended
storage procedure every two weeks, the following
procedures may be adopted though they will not
provide the same degree of protection.
Storage periods between one and three months
Initially, carry out the recommended storage
procedure.
In addition increase the tyre pressures as follows.
Other than Bentley Turbo R cars 2,8 bar (40 lbf/in2).
Bentley Turbo R cars 3,5 bar (50 lbf/in 2 ). The pressure
of the spare tyre does not need increasing.
Storage periods between three and six months
Initially, carry out the recommended storage
procedure.
The fo 11 owing additiona I measures shou Id also be
undertaken .
1. Remove the sparking plugs and inject two
tablespoons of a corrosion preventive oil into each
cylinder. Suitable oils are BP Energol Protective Oil 20
and Castro[ Storage Oil 20. Using the ignition key,
crank the eng i ne to distribute the oil over the cylinder
walls. Fit the sparking plugs.
2. Clean all chromium plating and stainless steel,
then lightly smear with petroleum jelly.
3. Remove, clean, and fully charge the battery. If
necessary top-up with distilled water.
4. Jack up the car and place supports under the rear
trailing arms and the outer ends of the front lower
triangle levers. Do not deflate the tyres.
Storage periods exceeding six months
The following additional measures to those listed for
storage periods between three and six months are
recommended.
1. Drain the final drive unit and the engine sump,
then fill them to the normal levels with one of the
corrosion preventive oils previously quoted. Run the
engine for one minute to distribute the oil.
2. Syphon the fuel tank. Do not run the engine to
completely drain the system as damage to the fuel
pump and catalytic converter (if fitted) could occur.
Warning It is most important that prior to working on
the fuel system reference is made to the
information under the heading Safety
procedures.
3, Position a note on the facia stating that the fuel
TSD 47DO
82-1
tank is empty and that no attempt must be made to
start the engine until the tank contains fuel.
4. Dust the carpets and rugs with anti-moth powder
and store them in a dry piace.
5. If the storage building is dry, leave the car
windows slightly open.
If there is any tendency towards dampness, close
the doors and windows and place an anti-moisture
compound, such as silica-gel or calcium chloride, in an
open metal container inside the car.
6. Every six months, remove, clean, and fu Ily ch a rg e
the battery. If necessary top-up with distilled water.
Recommissioning procedure
Dependent on the procedure adopted the following
points are all that should require attention before the
car is roadworthy.
1. Lower the car onto its tyres. Check the tyre
pressures and adjust if necessary (see Chapter A).
2. Fully charge and fit the battery. If necessary top-up
with distilled water.
3. Drain any corrosion preventive oil from the engine
sump and final drive unit. Fit a new engine oil filter
element and then fill' the engine sump and final drive
unit with the approved oils (see Chapter D).
4. Check the engine coolant level and top-up if
necessary.
5. Remove the sparking plugs.
If the car has not been run every two weeks during
the storage period, prime the cylinders with engine oi I.
Using the ignition key, crank the engine to distribute
the oil and to prevent a hydraulic lock.
6. Clean the sparking plugs and if necessary set the
gaps (see Chapter A). Fit the plugs.
7. Ensure that the fluid levels in the engine sump,
torque converter transmission, steering pump, final
drive unit, and the braking and levelling system
reservoirs are to the maximum level marks.
On Convertible cars, also ensure that the fluid
level of the power operated hood reservoir is to the
maximum level mark.
It must be noted that the braking and levelling
systems of the car are filled with hydraulic system
mineral oil. When filling or topping-up the reservoirs
it is important that the correct oil is used.
8. On cars other than Bentley Turbo A lubricate the
distributor by removing the rotor and applying a drop
of clean engine oil to the top of the spindle.
9. lubricate all grease points with approved grease
(see Chapter D).
10. If the fuel has been syphoned, fill the tank and
start the engine. Check that the engine oil pressure
and ignition warning lamps extinguish. Also check for
coolant, oil, or fuel leaks.
11. Check the operation of all controls, instruments,
warning panels, lamps, and accessories.
Note Should the brake pressure warning panels
remain illuminated for more than a few minutes
after starting the engine, refer to Chapter G.
12. Should the battery leads be disconnected for 4
weeks or longer during the storage period, the front
seat adjustment memory function (if fitted) will be lost.
If this has occurred, it will be necessary to
reactivate the memory by tapping-in the memory
code as follows.
Warning When the seat memory is reactivated, the
seat will move immediately and
automatically to a set adjustment position.
Take care therefore to avoid contact with the
seat when carrying out the following
procedure.
13. Ensure that the gear range selector lever is in the
park position, then turn the ignition switch to either
the ACC or RUN position.
14. Briefly depress one of the seat memory switches
(MEM), situated on the centre console, five times.
Then, immediately depress the numbered store/recall
buttons on the same panel in the sequence 4, 3, 3, 4.
15. To store a selected seat position in the memory
proceed as follows.
DeprG-ss the switch marked MEM. This will
activate the memory which wi II then remain receptive
for a period of five seconds. During this period, press
one of the four numbered personal allocation
switches. The personal seat position data will then be
stored in the memory until new data is programmed
into the memory by repeating the procedure for a new
seat position.
16. To recall the stored seat position press and hold
down the personal allocation switch until the seat has
reached its programmed position. Seat movement
can be stopped at any time by releasing the switch.
Seat adjustments that are made using the independent
manually operated seat position switches will not
affect the memory.
Safety procedures
In addition to the usual workshop safety procedures
note the following.
1. Extreme care must be exercised whenever any
work is carried out on the fuel system. Always ensure
that the no smoking rule is strictly observed and that
there is either a foam, dry powder, or CO2 (carbon
dioxide) fire extinguisher readily to hand.
2. Fuel may contain up to 5% of Benzene as an
anti-knock additive. Benzene is extremely injurious to
health (being carcinogenic) and therefore all contact
should be kept to an absolute minimum, particularly
inhalation.
3. The fuel system may contain fuel under pressure.
Therefore, prior to opening the system (i.e. dis·
connecting pipes or unions), disconnect the battery
and ensure that the system is depressurized (refer to
TSD 4737 Engine Management Systems Manual).
Protective clothing including safety goggles, gloves,
and a pron sh o u Id be worn at all ti mes by the operator.
4. Fuel has a sufficiently high vapour pressure to
cause a hazardous build-up of vapour in poorly
ventilated areas.
5. The fuel is irritant to the eyes and skin and any
affected parts should be washed immediately with
clean water. The fuel vapours are irritant to the lungs
5/88
82-2
~
~
and if high concentrations are inhaled it may cause
nausea, headaches, and depression.
6. The danger from inhaling exhaust gases cannot
be over emphasized. When operating the engine in a
confined space or workshop, always ensure that the
area is well ventilated. Whenever possible the exhaust
gases should be ducted out of the building.
Sitting in the car with the car's eir conditioning
system operating will not eliminate the denger.

Shipping precautions
When transporting a car overseas always contact a
reputable shipping agent to obtain the correct advice
and service. The following points should also be
brought to the notice of the shipping agent.
1. If it is necessary to syphon the fuel from the tank
note the following.
Do not run the engine to completely drain the
system as d1:1mage to the fuel pump and catalytic
converter (if fitted) could occur.
Position a note on the facia stating that the fuel
tank is empty and that no attempt must be made to
start the engine until the tank contains fuel.
2. It is of the utmost importance that service
personnel should fully appreciate that the hydraulic
systems of the car operate at high pressures and that
they are fully conversant with the precautions which
mu st be ta ken to ensure correct operation of the
systems. Special attention should therefore be given
to the items on Special Precautions in Chapters A
andG.
3. Ensure that the battery is disconnected and the
terminals taped up.
4. Cover all outer chromed parts with masking tape.
5. When the car is shipped in a container, place a bag
of silica-gel adjacent to each wheel trim and below
each suspension spring.
6. The dangers from inhaling exh1:1ust gases cannot
be over emphasized. When operating the engine in a
confined space or workshop, always ensure that the
area is well ventilated. Whenever possible the exhaust
gases should be ducted out of the building.
Sitting in the car with the car's air-eonditioning
system operating will not eliminate the danger.
Safety procedures
ln addition to the usual workshop safety procedures
note the following.
1. Extreme care must be exercised whenever any
work is carried out on the fuel system. Always ensure
that the no smoking rule is strictly observed and that
there is either a foam, dry powder, or COi (carbon
dioxide) fire extinguisher readily to hand .
2. Fuel may contain up to 5% of Benzene as an
anti-knock additive. Benzene is extremely injurious to
health (being carcinogenic) and therefore all contact
should be kept to an absolute minimum, particularly
inhalation.
3. The fuel system may contain fuel under pressure.
Therefore, prior to opening the system (i.e. disconnecting pipes or unions), disconnect the battery
and ensure th1:1t the system is depressurized (refer to
TSD 4737 Engine Management Systems Manual).
Protective clothing including safety goggles, gloves,
and apron should be worn at all times by the operator.
4. Fuel has a sufficiently high vapour pressure to
cause a hazardous build-up of vapour in poorly
ventilated areas.
5. The fuel is irritant to the eyes and skin and any
affected parts should be washed immediately with
clean water. The fuel vapours are irritant to the lungs
and if high concentrations are inhaled it may cause
nausea, headaches, and depression.

Precautions
Danger - Exhaust gases
To ensure adequate ventilation, always open garage
doors fully before starting the car in a garage, or any
confined space.
The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide
(CO), which is odourless and invisible, but very
poisonous.
Operating the air co nd iti on in g system increases
the danger of these gases entering the car.
General precautions
Before commencing work on the electrical system it is
recommended that either the battery master switch
be turned to the OFF position or that the battery is
disconnected.
If the master switch has to be left in the ON position
or if the battery is left connected, the gear range
selector lever must be placed in the park position and
the gearchange isolating fuse (fuse A6) removed from
fuseboard F2 at the main fuse board. Then remove the
ignition key.
Never disconnect the battery or switch off the
battery master switch when the engine is running .
Always ensure correct polarity when making
cable connections.
It is recommended that when carrying out tests on
the car wiring, a good quality multi-meter is used.
Never use generator type meters.
Do not use a test lamp on circuitry that contains
electronic components, such as the air conditioning
system.
When working on or in the vicinity of the air
conditioning micro-processor, anti-static precautions,
in particular the wearing of an anti-static wristband
connected to a good earth, must be observed.
6. Refrigerant containers must not be overfilled,
increased pressure could cause an explosion.
7. To heat the drum when charging a system,
immerse in warm water at a maximum temperature
of51°C (124°F) .
Never place the drum on a hat surface or attempt
to heat the drum by means of a blawlamp, etc.
8. Do not discharge refrigerant in confined spaces
or near to exposed flames. Contact with exposed
flames can produce a toxic gas.
Always keep refrigerant clear of engine air
intakes.
9. Excessive heat applied to any part of the
refrigeration system will create high pressures within
the system. Therefore, welding, soldering, or brazing
should not be carried out on the system , or to any
adjacent part of the car.
First aid - Refrigerant burns
If the skin comes into contact with refrigerant, it should
be bathed with clean cold water and medical attention
sought immediately. Do not apply localized heat, hot
dressings, etc.
If an eye should become affected by refrigerant, it
must be immediately washed with clean cold water.
The eye must not be rubbed as this will aggravate the
injury.
After administering this emergency treatment a
doctor shou Id be consulted as soon as possible.
Special precautions
The refrigerant used in the air conditioning system is
dichlorodifluoromethane (Refrigerant 12). It is
supplied to the service network in disposable
containers or metal drums.
When correctly handled the refrigerant is perfectly
safe, however, incorrect handling could resutt in injury
or accident.
The following precautions must always be
observed.
1. Do not smoke in the vicinity of refrigerant or a
refrigeration system.
2. Always wear safety glasses when working on a
refrigeration system .
3. Store refrigerant containers up rig ht and away
from direct sunlight.
4. When transporting refrigerant, ensure that the
containers are secured, remain upright and away
from direct sunlight.
5. Ensure that caps are fitted to drums not in use.

Electrical test and fault diagnosis
Introduction
If an electrica I fau It is suspected on the air conditioning
system it will be necessary to determine whetherthe
fault is in the wiring of the air conditioning system or
on the micro-processor board.
If it is determined that the fault is on the microprocessor board, the boa rd must be replaced as it is a
non-serviceable item.
The wiring can be tested using the air conditioning
test box RH 9884. Alternatively, test the wiring using a
good quality multi-meter capable of measuring
continuity, resistance, and direct current voltage.
If using the test box it is recommended that the
test procedures be carried out in full, noting any
malfunction. On completion of the test box
procedures, correct any malfunction by selecting the
appropriate sub-heading under Test procedures using
a multi-meter. Carry out that particular procedure
before retesting the system with the test box.
When correcting a malfunction or carrying out
the test procedures using a multi-meter, id ent i fi cation
of cable routes and connections, also components,
can be made using the wiring diagrams and
component locations contained within this section.
When working on or in the vicinity of the air
conditioning micro-processor, anti-static p reca uti on s,
in particular, the wearing of an anti-static wristband
connected to a good earth, must be observed.
To avoid damage to the mating surfaces of plug
or socket connections it is recommended that meter
probes, etc., are applied from the rear, cable entry
side. It may be necessary to release the locking bar of
the plug or socket to achieve this.
Where it is necessary to start the car engine, all
normal workshop safety precautions must be
observed.
Before commencing the test procedures always
ensure that the battery is in a fu Ily charged condition.
Test procedures using test box RH 9884

Air conditioning micro-processor board
Handling precautions
The micro-processor board and connectors are
durable if handled correctly. However, they are
vulnerable to stray voltages, wrong polarity and
especially static electricity. Therefore anti-static
precautions, in particular the wearing of an anti-static
wristband connected to a good earth, must be
observed at all times.
The board is particularly vulnerable before the
edge connectors are fined (i.e. before it is earthed).
Handling should therefore be kept to a minimum.
Boards must be stored in anti-static containers
and kept dry and free from grease.
Micro-processor board - To remove (see fig. C4-4)
1. Remove fuse A 1 at fuseboard F1.
2. To avoid damage when disconnecting or
re-connecting a micro-processor boa rd 18-way plug,
it will be necessary to hold the opposite end of the
board.
Disconnect both the left-hand and right-hand
18-way plugs from the micro-processor board (see
item 1).
3. Disconnect the upper and lower blend flap
actuator plugs from the micro-processor board
(see items 2 and 3).
4. Remove the two setscrews securing the microprocessor board front retaining channel (see item 4).
Remove the channel.
5. Lower the front edge of the micro-processor board
and carefully withdraw.

blocked by dirt, etc.
6. When fitting the push rods reverse the removal
procedure . Always ensure that the push rods are
returned to their orignal positions and that they are
correctly seated in both the hydraulic tappets and the
rocker arms.
Hydraulic tappets (see fig. E7-1, inset CJ
A tappet which is found to be defective in service should
be replaced by a complete assembly.
Individual components must not be renewed.
Where a tappet is noisy but otherwise appears to be
serviceable and replacement tappets are not readily
available, it is recommended that the tappet is
di sma nt Ied and thoroughly washed in clean paraffin.
Tappet noise
A defective tappet makes a noise like a 'rifle crack'. It is
usually caused by one or more tappets collapsing and
can be heard with each revolution of the camshaft. This
could be caused by dirt which has infiltrated into the
tappet(s). in which case the tappetls) should be
dismantled and cleaned. If cleaning the tappet does not
cure the fault, the tappet should be renewed.
To determine a defective tappet, manually depress
each tappet in turn whilst the engine is running. The
defective tappet can be identified by a change in noise
when any 'sponge' in the tappet is taken up.
If the noise is not caused by a collapsed tappet!s)
one of the following causes should be suspected .
1. Air may have been drawn into the tappets if the
engine has been standing for a period of time (i.e.
overnight) and one of the tappets may not clear itself. It

is possible that a tappet may not clear even after 30
minutes of hot running.
2 . Occasionally a tappet leaks down too quickly at high
temperatures causing a knock. This is really a milder
case of the 'rifle crack' failure and should be renewed_
3. Occasionally a tappet will stick in the bore of the
tappet block at high temperatures causing a knock. This
wi II show itself by being consistently noisy when the
engine is very hot but quiet at other times.
Should this situation be encountered (and alt other
tappet rectification measures failed to effect a cure). the
suspect tappet block should be checked for incorrect
crankcase bedding. Lightly smear the seating face with
engineers blue and fit the block in the crankcase. If the
check proves conclusively that the tappet block bedding
is faulty, the crankcase can be scraped to improve the
situation.
Extreme care must be exercised when carrying
out this operation and the minimum amount of
metal removed from the crankcase.
Tappet wear
It should not be necessary to reject tappets due to an
appearance of wear on the bottom face of the tappet.
The only occasion when rejection may become necessary
is if the cam peak on the camshaft is also badly worn .
It may cause problems to replace a mildly worn
tappet with a new one unless the camshaft is also
changed. For this reason only the tappets which are
actually causing a problem should be renewed.
If it is found necessary to fit a new camshaft to an
engine, a complete set of new tappets must also be
fitted .
Hydraulic tappets - To remove (see fig. E7 -1)
1. Carry out the usual workshop safety precautions .
2 . Remove either the fuel injection system equipment
or turbocharging equipment as applicable (refer to
Engine Management Systems Manual - TSD 4737) .
3. Dra in the eng ine coolant (see Chapter L).
4.
Depressurize the hydraulic systems (see Chapter G).
5. Remove the induction manifold.
6. Progressively unscrew the setscrews securing the
tappet chest cover to the crankcase. The setscrews must
be removed progressively. If the brake pump operating
cams happen to be at their peak, distortion could occur
to the tappet chest cover.
7 . Remove the rocker covers.
B. Progressively unscrew the setscrews securing the
rocker pedestals to each cylinder head . Then. remove the
rocker shaft assemblies.
9. Remove the push rods.
10. Withdraw the hydraulic tappets from the tappet
blocks (item 7).
Hydraulic tappets -To dismantle (see fig . E7-1)
1. Press down the spherical cap situated in the top of
the tappet and remove the snap ring holding the cap in.
After gradually releasing the pressure from the
spherical cap, the tappet can be dismantled (see
inset C).

barrel . Examine the tappet for any signs of wear on its
base .
Hydraulic tappets -To assemble and prime
(see fig . E7-1)
In order to obtain the high degree of accuracy necessary
for efficient operat ion of the hydraulic tappets, it is
essential that extreme precautions are taken when
assemb Ii ng the components to ensure comp Iete
cleanliness.
It is therefore most important that particular
attention is given to the following points before
commencing the assembly procedure.
Due to the highly critical surtaces and dimensions
of the hydraulic tappets, great care and cleanliness are
of the utmost importance when handling tappet
components. If a cloth has to be used , ensure that it is
lint free.
Ensure that the assembly tank is perfectly clean
before adding paraffin. Only clean fresh paraffin must be
used .
Wash all tappet components in clean paraffin,
taking care that the components of each tappet are
retained as an assembly and are not interchanged with
parts of another tappet.
1. Fit the spring washer (item 12) and valve (item 11)
in the retainer (item 13).
2. Using 'finger' pressure, carefully press the retainer
assembly onto the spigot of the plunger (item 1 0) .
3. Fit the spring (item 14) onto the retainer assembly.
4. Fit the valve assembly (plunger, valve, spring
washer. retainer. and spring), into the tappet barrel
(item 15).
5 . Fit the cap (item 9) into the top of the plunger.
6. Us ing an old push rod press the cap downwards
until it is possible to fit the retaining snap ring (item 8)
into the groove located inside the top of the barrel.
7. Release the pressure.
8 . Submerge the tappet assembly in clean Essa TSO
104 7 rust inhibiting paraffin .
9 . Using a small probe push the valve off its seat. The
probe should be carefully positioned through the small
hole in the tappet cap and pushed down into the tappet
until it contacts the valve. A slight increase in pressure
wi II then be required to overcome the spring washer
loading and open the valve.
10. Continue to hold the valve open and place a small
screwdriver into the cap adjacent to the probe.
11 . Apply pressure to both the probe and screwdriver.
Press the cap downwards in the tappet barrel,
compressing the spring. Note the ai r bubbles that are
expelled from the tappet barrel oil inlet hole.
1 2 . When the air bubbles cease, release the pressure
from the cap and valve.
1 3. Repeat Operations 9 to 1 2 inclusive, until the air
bubbles have ceased to appear throughout the cycle of
operations.
14. Withdraw the probe from the small hole in the
centre of the cap.
15 . Again apply pressure to the cap with a small
screwdriver. If the assembly feels solid it can be
assumed that it is operating satisfactorily and can be

Engine-To fit (see figs. E12-1 and E12-2)
Fit the engine by reversing the procedure given for
removal, noting the following.
1. When lowering the engine into position, ensure that
the flywheel assembly and rear of the engine do not
become trapped against the rear crossmember of the
sub-frame.
2. With the front engine mounting setscrews slack,
adjust the position of the engine mounting stop plate so
that there is a gap of between 1,52 mm and 2,28 mm
(0.060 in and 0.090 in), between the bonded rubber
strip on the stop plate and the crossmember bracket
(see fig. E12-3).
The stop plate has elongated holes to allow
adjustment.
On 1989 model year cars. the dista nee between the
engine roll stop plate and buffer on each rear engine
mount must be set to between 4,0 mm and 5,5 mm
10.158 in and 0.216 in). To carry out this operation, first
slacken the top securing bolts on the mount to be
adjusted. Using a soft metal drift, carefully tap the top
plate of the mount until the correct setting is obtained
(see fig. E12-4). Then, torque tighten the bolts.
3. On four door cars only, when fitting the small
dampers adjacent to the rear engine mounts, the
damper rods should point downwards. Fit the two
tapered rubbers either side of the engine mounting plate
bracket with the taper pointing downwards and the large
cup washer on top. The two smaller cup washers and
rubbers fit on each side of the sub-frame bracket.
4. On turbocharged cars prior to 1989 model year,
reseal the bulkhead closing plates with Butyl strip
sealant after the two ECU connections have been made
in the right-hand footwell area.
5 . • Connect all pipes, hoses, and cables as described in
the relevant chapters.
6. Fil I al I necessary systems as described in the
relevant chapters.
7. Immediately the engine starts, inspect for obvious
leaks. Then, whilst the engine is warming-up carry out a
more detailed inspection for leaks.
8. When the engine is at normal operating
temperature, check all fluid levels and correct as
necessary.
9. Road test the car and carry out any adjustments as
necessary.

Section E13
Engine drive belts
Before commencing to adjust the drive belts, inspect
them for signs of wear or cracking. Any belts found to
be unsatisfactory, should be renewed.
If after adjustment, a matched pair of belts have a
marked variation in tension, a new pair should be
fitted. Always renew both belts in a matched pair, even
if only one belt is faulty.
Three belt tension loads are specified; a new belt
load for replacement (new) belts, a retensioning load
for belts which are satisfactory for further service, and
a minimum acceptable load, below which the belt
should be retensioned.
The belt tension must be checked at a point
midway between two pulleys (see fig. E13-1), using the
Atlas Copco belt tensometer. RH 1221 1.
Belt dressing must not be applied to prevent belt
slip.
Belt tension - To check
1. Ensure that the usual workshop safety precautions
are carried out.
2. Ensure that the engine is cold (a warm engine will
return a slightly higher belt tension reading).
3. Examine the back of the belt around the mid way
point of the span. If any irregularities are found, caused
by a join in the fibres. etc., then rotate the engine until
the area of belt is acceptable.
4. Belt tension readings should always be taken on
one belt only. Therefore, when measuring twin belts
the belt blocker should be fitted prior to using the
tensometer (see fig. E13-2).
5. Open the jaws of the clamping unit by applying
pressure at the two points indicated by the arrows in
figure E 13-2.
6. Position the clamping unit at a point midway
between pulleys. Release the pressure from the unit.
7. Adjust the small Allen screw on the clamping unit
until the unit will only just slide along the belt.
8. Squeeze the trigger on the hand held gauge. The
reading displayed on the gauge when the red lamp
illuminates, is the belt tension. Repeat this procedure
until the readings are consistent. Note this final
figure.
9. Remove the clamping unit from the belt.
10. Rotate the engine.
11. Repeat Operations 5 to 8 inclusive. The average
of the two noted readings is the drive belt tension.
Fig. E13-1 Engine drive belt adjustment and tension
checking points
Note If the two readings vary by more than 45 N
( 10 lbf), take a third reading a her again rotating
the engine. Discard the exceptional value and
average the two remaining readings.
12. If necessary, adjust the belt tension as described
under the relevant heading.
Note Do not adjust the drive belt tension unless it has
fallen below the minimum acceptable load.

Propeller shaft
Introduction
Two types of propeller shaft are fitted dependent
upon the specification of the car.
A single piece type is fitted to Bentley Turbo R
cars, and a rubber jointed type is fitted to cars other
than Bentley Turbo R.
The single piece propeller shaft incorporates
universal joints, fitted onto each end of the shaft. The
complete assembly is dynamically balanced to 0, 14g
mm (0.125 oz·in) at a speed of 3000 rev/min.
If the propeller shaft assembly is dismantled and
new universal joints fitted, the shaft should be
rebalanced after assembly. If required, a fully
balanced assembly can be obtained as a service
exchange unit.
The rubber jointed type propeller shaft has a
rubber fie xi ble coupling fitted to each end of the shaft,
together with a spigot flange. The spigot flange fits
into a centralizing bush/lip seal. This seal is an
interference fit in the shaft.
This propeller shaft is balanced prior to assembly
to 0, 14g mm (0.125 oz in) at a speed of 3000 rev/min,
without the flexible rubber coupling arrangement
fined.
The transmission output flange and final drive
pinion flange vary, dependent upon which type of
propeller shaft is fined.
Single piece propeller shaft
Propeller shaft- To remove
1. Drive the car onto a ramp and carry out the usual
workshop safety precautions.
2. On cars conforming to a Japanese specification,
remove the exhaust system grass-fire shields from
around the catalyst area.
3. Support the weight of the exhaust system
rearward of the front silencer/catalyst assembly.
Remove the rubber hangers from the front support
bracket.
4. Remove the mounting bolts securing the exhaust
front mounting bracket to the centre crossmem ber.
5. Ensure that the parking brake is in the ott position.
6. Unhook the parking brake return spring from the
operating lever.
7. Remove the bolts securing the rear brake cables
abutment bracket to the body.
8. On Corniche/Continental cars remove the nuts
and bolts securing the transmission tunnel
strengthening plate.
9. Remove the securing bolts from both sides of the
centre body crossmember section and free the
assembly. The centre section, together with the
parking brake pivot mounting brackets and lever
should be moved to the side of the car, but must be
suitably supported to avoid strain or kinking of the
parking brake cables. Under no circumstances should

drive pinion flange and the transmision output flange.
13. Support the propeller shaft and remove the nuts
and bolts from the front and rear flanges.
14. Remove the propeller shaft by lowering the front
end, and then lift the shaft forward and downward
through the rear crossmember aperture.
Universal joint- To dismantle (see fig. F2-2)
If a universal joint cannot be serviced, it must be
dismantled and a new joint fitted.

Universal joint - To assemble
1. Insert the crosspiece and seals into the yoke eyes.
Hold the crosspiece centrally, then carefully press the
needle roller bearing assemblies into the yoke eyes,
until it is possible to fit the circlips. If this is found
ditticult to accomplish due to pressurization, release
the grease nipple situated between two of the
crosspiece trunnions, thus allowing the trapped air to
bleed.
2. Fit the circlips, ensuring that the end-float
between the yoke and circlips is zero to 0,025mm
(zero to 0.001 in).
3. If necessary, tighten the grease nipples.
Propeller shaft - To fit
Reverse the procedure given for removal noting the
following.
1. The joint faces must be clean and free from
damage.
Torque tighten the flange bolts to the figures
quoted in Section F3.

Note Two types of securing bolts are fitted. The later
type (Durlok) are black in colour and have
serrations under the head to stop anti-clockwise
rotation. Therefore, ensure that the correct
torque tightening figures are used.
All other nuts and bolts must be torque tightened
in accordance with the figures quoted in Chapter P.
2. Reference should be made to Chapter 0, before
fitting the exhaust system components.
3. Check the parking brake operation and adjust if
necessary (see Chapter G).

Introduction

WARNING
Use only hydraulic system mineral oil ILHM) to
replenish the braking and levelling systems.
Do not use brake fluids (Castrol RR363, Universal,
or any other type). The use of any type of brake fluid,
even in very small amounts, will cause component
failure necessitating extensive rectification to the
braking and levelling systems of the car.
Always ensure before fitting any seals, hoses,
pipes, etc., that they are suitable for a mineral oil
system. For details of correct component
identification reference should be made to Section G3
of this Workshop Manual.
Always ensure that two sealed containers of
hydraulic system mineral oil (LHM) are fitted in the
luggage compartment.
Always ensure that no foreign matter enters the
systems when work is being carried out.
This Ch apter covers the components for the two
independently power operated braking systems, the
levelling system, and the mechanically operated
parking brake.
In order to protect against claims of liability for
hydraulic system contamination, it is recommended
that the hydraulic system mineral oil is tested for
contamination prior to work being undertaken,
preferably in the presence of the owner or his/her
representative. The procedure for carrying out the
test is described in Section G3.
It is i m po rta nt that the test is carried out even
when the hydraulic system mineral oil is to be
renewed as this will not prevent the deterioration of
components which have been in contact with
contaminated mineral oil.
Hydraulic systems
1. Cars fitted with en anti-lock braking system
The braking systems consist of two independent
circuits. System 1 operates the rear brakes and levelling.
System 2 operates the front brakes only.
The Bosch anti-lock brake control system. consists
of a speed sensor fitted to each wheel, an electronic
control unit (ECU). and a three channel hydraulic
modulator.
The speed signals from the sensors are continually
processed by the ECU. When the brakes are applied,
the wheel deceleration, acceleration, and slip are
determined by the ECU. Signals from the ECU are fed to
the 3-way solenoid valves in the modulator.
The modulator then either increases pressure, holds
pressure, or decreases pressure to the brake calipers.
The rear wheels are controlled jointly, using the
'select low· rear control principle.
Failure of the anti-lock braking system is
indicsted by an amber warning lamp on the fecia,
and does not affect normal braking performance.
2.
Cans not fitted with an anti-lock braking system
The braking systems consist of t'NO independent
circuits. System 1 operates the front brake calipers on
the front road wheels, the upper cylinders on the rear
road wheel brake calipers, and the rear levelling. System
2 operates the rear brake calipers on the front road
wheels and the lower cylinders on the rear road wheel
brake calipers.
All cars
Disc brakes are fitted to all wheels.
Pressure for the systems is supplied by two
hydraulic accumulators, mounted on the 'A' bank side
of the engine, except for the Bentley Turbo R where
the accumulators are mounted on the 'B' bank side of
the engine. The accumulators are charged by engine
operated hydraulic pumps. The hydraulic pump
situated in front of the engine air intake manifold
supplies hydrau lie mineral oil to the front, vertically
mounted accumulator {System 1 ). The hydraulic
pump situated at the rear of the engine supplies
hydraulic mineral oil to the rear, horizontally mounted
accumulator (System 2).
Each accumulator sphere is divided into two
chambers by a diaphragm, a charge of nitrogen gas
being applied and retained in one chamber by the
diaphragm.
As an accumulator commences to be charged
with hydraulic system mineral oil from its hydraulic
pump, only a small amount of hydraulic system
mineral oil is required to be pumped into the other
chamber to raise its pressure to th at oft he in iti a I
charge of nitrogen. Hydraulic system mineral oil will
continue to be pumped into this chamber against
steadily increasing pressure as the diaphragm is
lifted, compressing the gas above rt, until the pressure
regulator in the accumulator valve housing operates
and unloads the hydraulic pump by allowing the
hydra u lie system mineral oi I to by-pass back to the
reservoirs. The pressure of hydraulic system mineral
oil stored in the sphere is maintained by the gas
pressing against the diaphragm, the pressure
reducing as hydraulic system mineral oil is used, until
the regulator allows the pump to recharge the sphere.
Spheres similar to those used on the accumulator
but with lower nitrogen gas pressure are incorporated
into the rear suspension struts, the gas under
pressure acting as a spring. Hydraulic system mineral

oil fed from System 1 accumulator, flows into or out
of the suspension strut spheres as varying loads are
applied to the car. The quantity is control led by the
levelling valve, with hydraulic system mineral oil
exhausted from the suspension spheres being
retu med to the reservoir.
To ensure that the braking system has priority
over the rear suspension, a pressure priority valve is
incorporated into System 1 high pressure line. If the
pressure in the system falls unduly the priority va Ive
will close and isolate the suspension system. This
a !lows the available pressure to be uti Iised for bra king
purposes.
Also incorporated into System 1 is a minimum
pressure valve. The purpose of th is valve is to retain a
predetermined pressure in the rear suspension strut
spheres when the engine is switched off and the car
u n Ioaded. This retention of pressure reduces the time
and amount of pressurized hydraulic system mineral
oi I required to fully charge the hydraulic systems
upon the initial starting of the engine.
A pressure switch is incorporated into both
System 1 and System 2 high pressure lines. The
function ofthese switches is to illuminate the warning
panels situated on the facia when the hydrau lie
system(s) pressure falls below acceptable working
limits.
A seepage return hose is fitted between the
minimum pressure v a Ive and the level Ii ng va Ive. Th is
seepage return hose a 11 ows the designed seepage
within the Ieve 11 i ng va Ive to return to the reservoir.

Section G3
Special precautions (including
system contamination test
procedure)
A
WARNING
Use only hydraulic system mineral oil (LHM)to
replenish the braking and levelling systems.
Do not use brake fluids (Castro! AA363, Universal,
or any other type). The use of any type of brake fluid,
even in very small amounts, will cause component
failure necessitating extensive rectification to the
braking and levelling systems of the car.
Always ensure before fitting any seals, hoses,
pipes, etc., that they are suitable for a mineral oil
system. For details of correct component
identification reference should be made to Section G3
of this Workshop Manual.
Alwaysensure that two sealed containers of
hydraulic system mineral oil (LHM)are fitted in the
luggage compartment.
Always ensure that no foreign matter enters the
systems when work is being carried out.
Before attempting any work on the hydraulic
systems of the car, service personnel must note
carefully the contents of this Section and be fully
conversant with the precautions required to ensure
adequate safety and correct system operation. Also,
before fitting any seals, hoses, pipes, etc., always
ensure that they are suitable for use with a mineral oil
hydraulic system.
The hydraulic systems operate at high pressure.
Pipes and components must never be removed
when the hydraulic systems are in a charged state.
Before any work, except a specified test, is carried
out on the hydraulic systems, they must be
depressurized.
All items of hydraulic system equipment should
carry identification to show that it is to be used only
with hydraulic system mineral oil (colour reference
green}.
To assist in the identification marking of mineral
oil components and equipment, self adhesive labels
bearing the logo shown in figure G3-1 are available
from the Parts Distribution Centre at Crewe.
lf any work is carried out on either reservoir,
ensure th at the reservoir tops a re retam pe rp roofed.
Refer to Section G7 for details.
Hydraulic system mineral oil (LHMI
Hydraulic system mineral oil is Green in colour. It is
essential that only approved hydraulic system mineral
oil is used (see Chapter D- Lubricants). Contamination

Fig. G3-1
Hydraulic system mineral oil logo
of mi nera I oi I hydra u Iic systems or com pane nts with
any co nventiona I vegetable or synthetic type of brake
fluid will cause seals and hoses to deteriorate which
could result in eventual brake faults.
To avoid contamination all mineral oil containers
and components should be stored in a clearly defined
area away from that used for coventional brake fluid.
Hydraulic system mineral oil can cause damage
to tyres. In the event of mineral oil coming into contact
with a tyre, damage can be prevented if the mineral
oil is removed immediately using a soap solution.
Finally, wash the tyre with clean water.
Components identification
All components which are susceptible to damage
from brake fluids are colour coded Green and have
GMF prefix part numbers e.g. GMF 1062.
Other components in the system which are not
susceptible to brake fluid damage (i .e. metal pipes
and connectors) are neither colour coded nor do they
have a GMF prefix part number. It must be stressed
however that these parts must not become
contaminated with brake fluid as this could circulate
to other components in the hydraulic systems.
For details of individual component identification
reference should be made to the relevant component
Section within this Chapter.
Cleanliness
For the correct functioning of the hydraulic system,
meticulous care should be taken to ensure complete
cleanliness at al I times.
Since both the braking system and levelling
system have components with very fine
TSO 4700
G3-3
~
~
manufacturing tolerances, the ingress of even very
smal I particles of foreign matter could have very
serious effects on the operation of the systems.
Care must be taken to ensure that at all times,
only clean hydraulic system mineral oil is used in the
system and that any overhauled units or components
are not exposed to contamination during assembly or
fitting.
Contact with conventional brake fluids must be
avoided at all times as these fluids have a detrimental
effect on the rubber seals and hoses used in hydraulic
mineral oil systems.
Hydraulic system mineral oil (LHMJ
contamination test kit and procedure
The hydraulic reservoirs are considered to be
contamination proof. However. if contamination is
suspected the following procedure should be
adopted.
Rolls-Royce Motors have developed a simple test
kit and procedure which will allow Franchise Holders
to quickly ch eek the mi nera I oi I (LH M) hydra u Iic
system for contamination with conventional types of
brake fluid i.e. Universal brake flu id, Castro! RR363.
Two test procedures have been established.
These simple methods of testing the hydraulic
system min era I oil (LH M) for contamination have
been developed to assist Franchise Holders in the
following ci rcu msta nces.
1. To determine the presence of a conventional
type of brake fluid i.e. RR363, in hydraulic system
mineral oil (LHM) prior to ca rs passing into the
workshops. This is to help protectthe Franchise
Holder against claims of liability for contamination of
the systems.
2. To determine the presence of contamination in
cars that have been out in service, prior to the
Franchise Holder accepting cars for part exchange or
retailing.
The following tests do not guarantee that the
system has not been contaminated with brake fluid
{i.e. RR363, Universe I, or any other type), it is only an
indication that brake fluid does/does not appear
within the system(s).
If brake fluid has been introduced into the
system (s) no matter how briefly, no amount of
corrective action (draining, flushing out, etc.) except
for a complete hydraulic system(s) overhaul (i.e.
replacement of seals, hoses), will ensure that damage
has not occurred or wi 11 not occur at some future date.
Note Once the hydra u Iic system mineral oi I has been
tested and proved to be free from
contamination, the reservoirs should be
tamperproofed and the warning panel fitted.
Cleanliness throughout the sampling and
testing procedures is of vita I i m po rta nee.
Test kit
Hydraulic system mineral oil ( LHM) test kit RH2841,
can be obtained from the Parts Distribution Centre at
Crewe. The kit consists of the fo Ilowing.
1 off Dropping bottle with dye solution.
1 off Test tube rack.
10 off Glass test tu bes with corks.
1 off Photograph depicting the colour for varying
degrees of contamination.
1 off Sampling tube.
1 off Set of instructions.
First procedure
1. Switch on the ignition and de pressurize the
hydraulic systems by pumping the brake pedal until
both low pressure warning panels illuminate.
Continue to pump the pedal for at least a further
20 applications to ensure that al I the accumulator
mineral oil is returned to the reservoir.
2. Clean the area around each hydraulic reservoir
top and remove the warning panel. Remove the
securing clips attaching the pipes from the reservoirs
to the inner longeron.
3. Lift the pipes from the reservoir tops, noting their
pas iti on s. Remove the setscrew from the ci rcu la r
cover in the top of each reservoir and Iift out the
covers.
4. Ensure th at the components in the test kit a re
clean and dry. The sampling tubes should be
thoroughly cleaned out with petroleum ether
(120/160°C). Paraffin or petrol should not be used.
5. Using a small syringe, extract 50 ml of mineral oil
from the top and bottom of each reservoir, through
one of the sma 11 holes exposed.
6. Place the samples into individual clean dry
containers.
7. Shake each sample taken to ensure it is well
mixed.
Pour 10 m I of each sa m pie into clean test tu bes
(do not mix the samples together).
8. Using the dispenser, add two drops of the red
dye solution contained in the kit into each 10 m I
sample.
Cork the test tubes and shake them thoroughly.
9. leave the samples to settle for at least 30 minutes
and then examine each sample (refer to Examination
of results, in this Section).
Workshop procedure (to be carried out when
contamination is suspected)
1. Depressurize both System 1 and System 2
accumulators by releasing the internal bleed screw
(see Section G9). This procedure returns al I high
pressure fluid to the reservoirs.
2. Clean the area around each hydraulic reservoir
top and remove the warning panel. Remove the
securing clips attaching the pipes from the reservoirs
to the inner longeron.
3. Lift the pipes from the reservoir tops, noting their
positions. Remove the setscrew from the c i rcu Iar
cover in the top of each reservoir and lift out the
covers.
4. Ensure that the components in the test kit a re
clean and dry. The sampling tubes should be
thoroughly cleaned out with petroleum ether
(120/160°C). Paraffin or petrol should not be used.

5. Using a small syringe, extract 50 ml of mineral oil
from the top and bottom of each reservoir, through
one of the sm a 11 holes exposed.
6. Place the samples into individual clean dry
containers.
7. The procedure described in Operation 1 has
depressurized all components foiward of the
minimum pressure va Ive. Thereto re, the gas springs,
struts, etc. are still pressurized.
To obtain a sample rearward of the minimum
pressure valve carry out the following procedure.
8. Bleed off approximately 50 ml at the bleed point
situated on the inner right-hand sill, forward of the
rear road spring.
9. Ensure that each sample taken is tested.
Test procedure for determining hydraulic system
mineral oil (LHM) contamination
Any cloudiness within a sample taken is an indication
of mixed fluids. This is because hydraulic system
mineral oil (LHM) and conventional types of brake
fluid (Castro I RR363, Universal, etc.) do not mix to
give a clear fluid.
The following procedure explains the sequence
for testing a sample. It should be noted that a test
must be carried out on each sample taken.
1. Shake the sample to ensure that it is well mixed.
2. Ensure that the test tube is clean and dry. Then,
extract 10 m I from the sample and pour it into the test
tube.
3. Using the dispenser, add two drops of the red
dye solution.
4.
Cork the test tube and shake well.
Examination of results
On adding the red dye solution and the subsequent
mixing, it is possible that the green colour of the
mine ra I o i I wi 11 change to e reddish brown. This does
not indicate contamination of the hydraulic system
mineral oil.
Co nta mi nation can only be confirmed by the
formation of a cloudy red mass which will begin to
sett Ie tow a rd s the bottom of the tu be if Ieft to stand
for at least 30 minutes.
If the sample in the test tube on addition of the
dye turns red but remains clear, it indicates that the
sa m pie is not contaminated.
The volume of red mass which will eventually
settle to the bottom of the test tube indicates the
amount of contamination within the hydraulic system
mineral oil.
Complete separation of the two Iiqu ids may take
a considerable amount of time, for example a very
small percentage of contamination may take more
than seven days to completely separate.
If contamination is suspected, but difficult to
diagnose, due to the small amount of contamination
that may be present, or any doubts exists,
conformation should be obtained by sending a
sample to Rolls-Royce Motors (if in the United
Kingdom) or to a chemical analysis laboratory.
Very small percentages {less than 0.5%) of a
9/86

conventional type of brake fluid contaminating the
hydra u Ii c system mine ra I o iI is sufficient to cause sea I
and component failure.
Depressurizing the system
Method 1
Switch on the ignition and pump the brake pedal 50 to
60 times until resistance felt at the pedal reduces
indicating th at the systems a re dep ressu rized. The
facia warning panels should be illuminated (see
Section G2). Switch off the ignition.
To de pressurize the rear suspension struts, attach
a bleed tube to the struts bleed screw. Open the bleed
screw and allow the hydraulic system mineral oil to
bleed into a clean container until the flow ceases.
Method 2
Open the bleed screw on both accumulators and allow
sufficient time for the mineral oil pressure to
discharge back to the reservoir. These bleed screws
are an integral part of the accumulator, the mineral oil
being allowed to flow from the accumulator sphere
back to the reservoir when the bleed screw is opened
(see Section G9). Switch on the ignition and check
that the facia warning panels are illuminated {see
Section G2).
Depressurize the rear suspension struts as
described in Method 1.
Accumulator and Gas spring spheres
The accumulator and gas spring spheres are charged
on one side of their diaphragms with nitrogen gas to
a pressure of 60 bar to 64 bar (870 Ibf/i n2 to 928 Jbf/i n2 )
and 10,35 bar to 18,63 bar (150 lbf/in2 to 270 Jbf/in 2 )
respectively, prior to despatch from the factory.
Each sphere is marked with a band of white paint
or with a stick-on yellow label when charged. The
charge pressure in bar is stamped on the non-return
v a Ive cap at the end of the sphere.
A date of manufacture is also marked on each
sphere. It is recommended that spheres are stored
and issued from stock in date sequence.
Bleeding the hydraulic systems
Remove fuse A6 from fuse panel F2 on the main
fuseboard, to isolate the electric gearchange whilst
the systems are bled.
Only use hydraulic system mineral oil bleed
equipment when bleeding the hydraulic systems.
Never connect equipment that has been used for
conventional brake fluids to the system.
The bleed screws for the accumulators are an
i nteg ra I pa rt of the accu mu Iator va Ive housing and a
bleed hose connection is not required.
Reference shou Id be made to Section G 5 for
details of the complete bleeding procedure.
When bleeding the hydraulic system, any
hydra u Iic system mine ra I o i I that has been sp i It onto
the tyres must be removed. The use of a soap solution
and a final rinse with clean water is recommended for
this purpose.
TSO 4700
G3-5
~
~
Under no circumstances should hydraulic system
mineral oil be allowed to remain on the tyres for
prolonged periods as this will cause tyre damage.
General information
Removing components
Prior to disconnecting any pipes or removing
hydraulic components from the car, the area around
the pipes and components should be thoroughly
cleaned. Particular attention should be given to the
localized areas around the pipe unions and their
corresponding ports.
Whenever units, pipes, or components are
disconnected from the hydraulic systems all open
ports and pipe ends must be blanked off immediately,
to avoid contamination of the system.
It is stressed that the clean condition of any blanks
used is equally as important as the clean condition of
the components they seal.
Blanks which have been used on cars with
conventional brake fluid systems should not be used,
unless they have been thoroughly cleaned and all
traces of brake fluid removed.
Note Masking tape or cork bungs do not constitute
blanks.
Quantities of blanks may be obtained, on request
from the Parts Distribution Centre at Crewe.
In addition, special pressure blanks are available,
capable of withstanding full hydraulic system
pressure. These blanks should be used during testing
and fault diagnosis procedures where it may be
necessary to blank off a pipe or component and then
charge the systems. When fitted these blanks must be
torque tightened to the figures quoted for the pipe
unions which they replace.
Cleaning components
The recommended cleaner is petroleum ether
( 120/160°C).

Components which have been removed sh ou Id
be thoroughly cleaned before replacement.
Rubber pipes, sealing rings, and other
components sh ou Id be washed in petroleum ether
( 120/160°C) and then dried with dry com pressed al r.
Meta I pipes req u Iring the rem ova I of undersea I
and road dirt from their outer surfaces, may be
cleaned with trichlorethylene or paraffin. In such
cases, a final cleaning procedure and flushing of the
pipe internal bore using petroleum ether (120/160°C)
sh o u Id be carried out. Bl ow dry with c Iea n
compressed air.
Cloths, even the lint free types, should never be
used to clean hydraulic components.
Servicing equipment
All servicing equipment should be clearly marked to
indicate the type of hydraulic sytstem for which it is
suitable.
Under no circumstances should equipment used
for conventional brake fluids be used on a mineral oil
hydraulic system or component.
Only pressure gauges, test, and bleed equipment
bearing hydraulic system mineral oil identifications
should be connected to a mineral oil system.
Storage and transportation
The ca re ta ken to pre vent contamination of
components during storage or transportation is
extremely important.
All mineral oil components should be stored in a
separate and clearly defined area from that used for
conventional brake fluid components.
Replacement parts, pipes, and units must be
clearly identified and securely sealed with the correct
blanks. Blanks should not be removed until
immediately prior to fitting; the replacement parts
must also be protected from dust and damage.
Sea Ii n g rings and rubber pipes in storage shou Id
be protecte·d from dust, light, and heat in order to
reduce deterioration of the rubber.
Where mineral oil components are transported or
returned to the manufacturer they should be clearly
marked as being for use on mineral oi I hydraulic
systems.
Hydraulic systems - Filling or topping-up
When the hydraulic reservoirs require topping-up or
the systems a re completely drained, always fi 11/top-u p
with fresh clean hydraulic system mineral oil of the
specified type. Refer to Chapter D for the correct
specification.
After fi Iting the systems, bleed as described in
Section G5.
Servicing rubber components
In the interest of safety, the rubber components used
in the hydraulic systems have been allotted specific
'life' mileages at the completion of which or at the
nearest service prior to completion it is recommended
that the components are renewed. Reference should
be made to the Service Schedule Manual publication
number TSD 4702 for th is information.
0 n ly rubber components bearing mine ra I oi I
identification marks should be fitted to a mineral oil
hydraulic system.
Under no circumstances must a rubber
component for a co nve nti on a I brake flu id system be
substituted for the correct component.
Fitting replacement units
Replacement hydraulic units are tested and blanked
off before being despatched from the factory.
It is advisable, when fitting a replacement unit,
that when the unit has been placed in position and the
blanks removed, the mineral oil in the unit is allowed
to drain before the pipes are connected.
When drained, the pipes shou Id be connected
and the appropriate bleeding operations carried out.
Note The mineral oil should not be blown out,
allowing it to drain is sufficient.

Hydraulic system pipework
Bundy tubing is used to carry mineral oil around the
hydraulic systems, except where flexible hoses are
used to accommodate movement between two units.
Flexible hoses are also used on several connections
to the reservoirs, plus the levelling valve seepage
return hose.
The bundy tubing pipework is almost entirely
4,76 mm (0.186 in) diameter, the exceptions being
6,35 mm (0.250 in) diameter and 9,52 mm (0.375 in)
diameter.
To enable pipe identification, neoprene sleeves
are fitted to each end of the meta I pip es, except for
the feeds from the reservoirs to the hydraulic pumps
and the engine hydraulic pipes (pump to
accumulator). A cha rt quoting the pipe colours and
functions is given on page G4-2. This chart shou Id be
consulted to determine the function of each pipe i.e.
high pressure, Iow pressure, and system.
Generally, pipework connections are effected by
flared pipe ends and unions, either male or female as
necessary. Conical seats are machined in the
components or junctions to seat the flares and
provide effective joints.
On the accumulators a different type of
connection is used requiring the fitting of a small
rubber sleeve (see fig. G4-1). Sealing is achieved by
deformation of the rubber when the sleeve nut is
tightened.
To fit this type of connection the procedure given
at the end of this Section should be carried out.
In certain flexible pipe joints, face seals
(aluminium) and copper washers are employed. A
new copper washer and face seal must be fitted
whenever the pipe is removed.
If hydra u Ii c pipes are disturbed the following
points should be noted.
The area around the pipe union and pipe end
should be thoroughly cleaned before the union is
unscrewed.
Pipe ends should always be blanked off
immediately after removal. The blanks should not be
removed until immediately prior to fitting.
Whenever pipes are removed, the flares should
be inspected for serviceability. Pipes showing signs
of damage, cracking, or collapse must be renewed.
Before fitting pipes and unions they should be
cleaned thoroughly using petroleum ether (120/
160°C), then blown through with clean dry
compressed air. Particular attention should be made
to the union and the exterior of the pipe immediately
behind the flares.
Whenever any work is carried out which disturbs
the anti-lock braking system components, the
complete system must be checked with the ABS test
box before the car is driven (see Section G6).

Special care must be exercised when removing
or fitting any reservoir pipe connections. The pipes
are a push-in fit into the reservoir manifold therefore,
ensure the swag ed end of the pi pas engage with the
nitrite seal.
Also, the levelling valve red and yellow coded
pipes forming the double coiled pipe assembly, must
be connected the correct way round. Th is is; red in
the u niori nearest to the front of the car and yellow
nearest to the levelling valve operating pivot. These
red and yellow coded pipes are secured together
using heatsh rink ti es to form the double coi I
assembly.
When fitting pipes, do not overtighten unions as
this could cause damage to pipe flares.
If when a pipe is removed the coloured sleeves
are in poor condition, they should be renewed. This is
best achieved by expanding a new correctly coloured
rubber sleeve sufficiently to clear the union, using a
small three pronged expanding hand tool (i.e.
Penguin pliers).
Identification sleeves are not fitted to the flexible
hoses but the sleeves on the connecting pipes at
either end may be used to identify the flexible pipe
and its function.
The fie xi bl e and meta I pipes can be readily
i de ntifi ed by means of the colour coding and
component location layouts {see Section G2).
Also refer to the function chart shown on page
G4-2.
Note The two high pressure pipes from the hyd rau Iic
pumps to the hydra u I ic accu mu Iato rs and the
feeds from the reservoirs to the hydraulic
pumps are not marked and do not connect to
any other marked pipes. Since these pipes are
the only ones without means of identification
confusion should not arise.
Extreme caution sh ou Id be ta ken when fitting or
renewing flexible pipes to ensure th at the correct type
of pipe is fitted, in the correct location, and in
accordance with the colour coding.
In the interest of safety, the flexible pipes fitted to
the hydraulic systems have been al lotted specific 'life'
mileages at the completion of which or at the nearest
service prior to completion, it is recommended that
the flexible pipes are renewed.
For recommended 'life' mileages reference
should be made to the Service Schedule Manual,
publication number TSO 4 702.
When renewing flexible pipes and hoses, only
those conforming with hydraulic system mineral oil
requirements and bearing mineral oil identification
marks should be fitted (see fig. G3-2). Under no
circumstances must any other type of flexible pipe or
hose be fitted.
TSD 4700
G4-1
When removing rigid or flexible pipes, the positions
of all clipping points and pipe routing should be noted
to ensure that, when fitted, no chafing or vibration of the
pipes can occur. Always ensure that the flexible hoses
and rigid pipes are routed to clear other components
and that clearance is maintained during the full range of
steering and suspension movement.
In the event of replacement pipes being required, it
is recommended that they are produced using 'Armco'
25 microns zinc plated, fully chromate passivated and/or
green polymer coated bundy tubing. Care should be
taken to avoid sharp bends when producing
replacement pipes as this could cause the plating/
coating to fracture. A hydraulic pipe manufacturing kit
AH 12043 is available (see Section G23).
Note The pipe connection tappings on the front road
wheel brake calipers, accumulators, modulator (if
fitted), and levelling valve, have a metric thread
form. Therefore, care should be taken when
producing replacement pipes to ensure that the
correct type and standard of pipe nut is fitted.
All pipes must be thoroughly cleaned using
petroleum ether (120/160"C) and dried using clean
compressed air. The ends should then be blanked until
immediately prior to fitting.
Torque tighten all pipe unions and fittings, referring
to either Section G22 or Chapter P.
After fining of replacement pipes they should be
leak checked and then coated with undersea I if they are
in an exposed area.
Rubber sleeve pipe connection - To fit (see fig. G4-1)
A. Slide the rubber sleeve onto the pipe until it abuts
the collar.
B. Insert the small end of the pipe into the close fitting
bore at the bottom of the threaded connection port.
C. Cerefully centralize the pipe in the bore and screw
in the sleeve nut until it abuts the pipe collar.
D. Torque tighten the nut to the figures quoted in
Section G22.
Note The rubber sleeve must be renewed each time the
pipe is disconnected.
It is important that the torque figures quoted in
Section G22 are not exceeded as damage to the pipe
end could result. This will cause pipe restriction and
difficulty in withdrawing the pipe end from the
connection bore.

Bleeding the hydraulic systems
A
WARNING
Do not use equipment that has been used on cars
utilizing synthetic brake fluid i.e. RR363, when carrying
out bleeding operations on ca rs using hyd rau Iic system
mineral oil (LHM). Failure to observe this warning will
result in contamination of the hydraulic systems,
necessitating extensive and expensive rectification.
Introduction
In order to obtain optimum performance of the hydraulic
systems, it is essential that they are free of air at a 11 times.
The two hydraulic systems are recirculatory and
therefore, if air is allowed to enter them at any point it
will reduce the efficiency.
Bleed screws are provided on the side of the
accumulators, on the brake calipers, on the suspension
struts, and on the deceleration conscious pressure
limiting valve.
On 1989 model year cars, bleed screws are also
incorporated at the pressure switches.
The accumulator bleed screws are an integral part
of the valve housing and do not require the connection
of a bleed pipe during the bleeding operation. The bleed
screw for the suspension struts is situated on the righthand sill forward of the rear road spring.
The accumulators are situated on the front righthand (' A' bank) side of the engine except for the Bentley
Turbo R, where the accumulators are mounted on the
left-hand ('B' bank) side of the engine (see fig. G5-2). The
accumulator for the number one system is vertically
mounted and the number two system accumulator
horizontally mounted.
The two hydra u lie system mi nera I oi I reservoirs a re
situated on the left-hand side of the engine
compartment.
Anti-lock braking systems
The inboard hydraulic reservoir supplies hydraulic
system mi nera I oi I for the number one system. From the
reservoir, mineral oil is supplied to the front brake pump,
which in turn supplies hydraulic system mineral oil
under pressure to the vertically mounted accumulator,
upper distribution valve, end the rear brakes and
levelling.
The outboard reservoir supplies hydraulic system
mineral oil for the number two system. From the
reservoir, mineral oil is supplied to the rear brake pump
which in turn supplies hydraulic system mineral oil
under pressure to the horizontally mounted
accumulator, the lower distribution valve, and front
brakes.

Non anti-lock braking systems
The inboard hydraulic reservoir supplies hydraulic
system mineral oi I for the number one system. From the
reservoir, mineral oil is supplied to the front brake pump,
which in turn supplies hydraulic system mineral oil
under pressure to the vertically mounted accumulator,
the upper distribution valve, the front brake calipers on
the front wheels, the upper cylinders of the rear brake
calipers, and the rear suspension struts.
The outboard reservoir supplies hydraulic system
mineral oil for the number two system. From the
reservoir, mineral oil is supplied to the rear brake pump
which in turn supplies hydraulic system mineral oil
under pressure to the horizontally mounted
accumulator, the lower distribution valve, the rear brake
calipers on the front wheels and the lower cylinders of
the rear brake calipers.
When a rectification has been carried out between
the brake pumps and the distribution va Ives, or Ieve II i ng
valve, it wil I be necessary to bleed at al I the bleed points
in that particular circuit.
However, if a rectification has been carried out
between the distribution valves and the brake calipers, it
should only be necessary to bleed at the bleed points
between the distribution valve and the calipers in the
faulty circuit.
Whenever in doubt it is advisable to bleed the
complete system.
The power brake circuits should be bled at low
pressure, ensuring that the systems are depressurized
and the mineral oil levels in the reservoirs are kept up to
the black line on the sight glass, at all stages of the
bleeding operation.
To obtain low pressure bleeding of the system(s),
depress the brake pedal and open the relevant bleed
screw before starting the engine and running it at 1000
rev/min. This ensures the accumulator remains at low
pressure. Throughout the bleeding operation, the brake
pressure warning panels should be illuminated (see
Section G2). Only when bleeding the suspension struts
should the systems be fully pressurized and the warning
panel lamps extinguished.
When bleeding the suspension struts, the interior of
the car should be weighted to compress the suspension
sufficiently for the levelling valve to actuate, thus
allowing pressurized mineral oil to flow to the
suspension struts and bleed screw. The engine should
be allowed to run for four minutes prior to bleeding, to
ensure the systems are fully charged. Bleed the
suspension struts until all the bubbles have been
expelled then allow fifteen seconds to elapse before fully
tightening the bleed screw.
Bleeding the systems
The following information is a comprehensive bleeding
operation which shou Id be carried out to ensure removal
TSO 4700
G5-1
of air from the complete hydraulic systems. However, as
previously stated, each system can be bled separately at
all points downstream of any replacements or pipe
disconnections (refer to Sectional bleed requirements).
However, if any doubt exists, it is advisable to bleed the
complete system concerned.
Whilst bleeding is being carried out, it is essential
that the mineral oil level in the two reservoirs is kept to
the black line on the level indicator sight glass, using
clean hydra u Iic system mineral oil. Reference should be
made to Chapter D for approved types.
All bleed screws should be torque tightened in
accordance with the figures quoted in Section G22.
When bleeding the hydraulic systems ensure that
only equipment suitable for hydraulic system mineral
oil is used. See Warning on page G5-1.
Anti-lock braking systems (see figs. G5-1 and G5-2)
Attach a length of bleed tube to each bleed screw prior
to the bleed screw being opened. Immerse the free end
of the tube in approximately 25 mm (1 in) of hydraulic
system mineral oil contained in a clean bottle.
Bleed tube attachment is not necessary when
bleeding the accumulators, as bleeding is effected
internally through the accumulator valve housing, the
mineral oil being allowed to flow back to its respective
reservoir when the bleed screw is released
approximately one revolution (see Section G9).
With the gear selector in the park position and the
parking brake applied the following sequence of
operations should be carried out, after first noting the
following.
System 1 bleed points are A, C, F, H, G, I, and J (plus
L for 1989 model year cars).
System 2 bleed points are B, D, and E (plus K for
1989 model year cars).
When bleeding the suspension struts extra care
shou Id be taken when slackening the bleed screw as the
system will be operating at full pressure.
Any hydraulic system mineral oil that has been spilt
onto the tyres must be removed. The use of a soap
solution and a final rinse with clean water is
recommended for this purpose.
Under no circumstances should hydraulic system

Section G6
Anti-lock braking system
Introduction
The anti -lock braking system consists of a speed
sensor fitted to each wheel, an electronic control unit
(ECU), and a three channel hydra u lie mod u !ator.
The speed signals from the sensors are
continually processed by the ECU. When the brakes
are applied, the wheel deceleration and slip is
determined by the ECU. Signals from the ECU are fed
to the 3-way solenoid valves in the modulator. The
modulator then either ho lds pressure, decreases
pressure, or allows pressure to increase to the brake
calipers.
The rear wheels are controlled jointly, using the
'select low' control principle.
Failure of the antl-lock braking system is indicated
by a warning lamp on the facia, and does not affect
no rm a I braking performance. A ch eek for transient
malfunctions of the system can be carried out by
switching off the ignition and then restarting the
engine. Continued illumination will need to be
checked as described later in this Section.
Whenever any work is carried out which disturbs
the anti-lock braking system components, the
complete system must be checked with the ABS test
box before the car is driven (see Anti-lock braking
system - To test).
Wheel sensors
If any of the wheel speed sensors are found to be
defective and need to be replaced, refer to either
Chapter H (front hub} or Chapter J (rear hub) for the
removal procedure.
Electronic control unit (ECU)
The electronic control unit situated in the luggage
compartment, is mounted on the left-hand side rear
wheel arch. Access to the ECU is gained by removing
the left-hand side trim panel.
Hydraulic modulator
The hydraulic modulator is located in the engine
compartment forward of the left-hand side
suspension spri ng cover (see fig. G6-1 ).
The modulator consists of three solenoid valves
{one for each front wheel, and one for the rear axle).
These valves are actuated by the electronic control
unit (ECU).
Whenever any work is carried out on the
modulator, it is important to note the p ipe
connec~ions and return them to the same positions
(see fig . G6-2 and Section G2).
The modulator is a non-serviceable assembly,
therefore if a fault is found, t he complete assembly
should be removed and a new one fitted.

Hydraulic pumps
Introduction
The mineral oil hydraulic pumps can be distinguished
from those using conventional brake fluid, in that
each pump has a green disc fitted beneath the top
adapter {see figs. G8-1 and GS-2).
Internally the mineral oil pump has a larger
diameter plunger than the pumps using RA 363 brake
fluid. Also, the seals are made of material that meets
mineral oil requirements.
The brake pump push rod has a collapsible
section of increased diameter. The top edge of the
push rod is chamfered for indentification purposes
(see fig. GB-1 ).
Never fit a brake pump push rod from a
conventional (RR 363) brake fluid system as a
replacement.
When overhauling a mineral oil brake pump
always ensure that sealing rings bearing mineral oil
identification marks are fitted (see Section G3).
Hydraulic pump housing sealing rings - To renew
{see fig . GB-2)
If hydraulic system mineral oil leakage occurs from a
brake pump housing, it is possible to renew the two
sealing rings with the pump in position.
7. Depressurize the hydraulic systems as described
in Section G3.
2. Ensure that the pump and surrounding area is
thoroughly cleaned.
3. Com press the rubber hose section of the
hydraulic pump low pressure inlet pipe to prevent
mineral oil flow. Remove the hose from the pump
inlet pipe and blank the end of the hose.
4. Disconnect the high pressure outlet and low
pressure inlet pipes from the hydraulic pump.
5. Remove the circlip from the top of the pump.
With draw the outer housing upwards and off the
pump.
6. Discard the two sealing rings. Fit new sealing
rings after lubricating with clean hydraulic system
mineral oil of the approved type.
7. Fit the pump outer housing with care, aligning
the port with the inlet pipe. Press the housing firmly
into positlon, then fit the circlip (see fig. GB-2).
8. Prime the pump with an approved hydraulic
system mineral oil. Connect the low pressure feed
and high pressure out/et pipe to the pump.

Hydraulic accumulators
Introduction
The hydraulic accumulators are mounted at the front
of the crankcase, on the 'A' bank side of the engine.
The only exception being the Bentley Turbo R,
where the accumulators are mounted at the rear of
the crankcase, on the 'B' bank side of the engine.
The front accumulator (vertically mounted)
supplies the No. 1 Hydraulic system; the rear
accumulator (horizontally mounted) supplies the
No. 2 Hydraulic system.
Both accumulators have an internal bleed screw
incorporated into the valve housing. Bleeding or
depressurizing an accumulator is achieved by
slackening the bleed screw (see figs. G9-1 and G9-2),
approximately on~ full turn. This allows the hydraulic
system mineral oil to return internally through the
valve housing to its respective reservoir.
In the event of an accumulator failure, a sphere,
accumulator valve assembly, and 'O' rings can be
obtained as individual items. Alternatively, a complete
accumulator can be obtained.
Prior to despatch from the manufacturer, all
spheres are charged to a pressure of between 60 bar
and 64 bar (870 lbf/in 2 and 928 lbf/in 2 ). The charge
pressure (in bar) is stamped on the screw head
located at the top of the sphere. Whenever a sphere is
found to be below a working pressure of 31 bar (450
lbf/in 2 ) a replacement sphere must be fitted. Never
attempt to recharge a sphere.
Hydraulic accumulator sphere - To renew whilst in
position (see figs. GS-1 and G9-2)
On cars other than the Bentley Turbo R, to remove the
sphere from No. 2 system the sphere from No. 1
system will have to be removed first. On Bentley
Turbo R cars to remove the No. 2 system sphere, the
complete accumulator of No. 1 system will have to be
removed, refer to Hydraulic accumulator - To remove.
1. Depressurize the hydraulic system(s) as described
in Section G3.
2. Carefully hold the valve body of the accumulator.
Then, using a suitable chain wrench located around
the circumference of the sphere, unscrew and remove
the sphere from the valve housing. Disca rd the sealing
ring (see fig. G9-3).
3. Locate a new sealing ring lubricated with clean
hydraulic system mineral oil into the valve body.
4. Fit the new sphere to the valve body and torque
tighten to the figures quoted in Section G22.
5. After fitting the sphere, top-up the reservoir(s}
with a recommended hydraulic system mineral oil
(see Chapter D). With the engine running, check for
leaks.
6. Test the accumulator(s) as described in Hydraulic
accumulator- To test.

the retaining screws are removed.
9. Remove the screws and carefully ease off the
pressure.
10. Remove the spring housing, adjusting shims (if
fitted), spring, spring seating, and the cut-out valve.
The cut-out valve contains a stop ring and therefore
can only be removed in the direction of the cut-out
chamber. Remove and discard the sealing ring from
the cut-out chamber.
11. Thoroughly clean al I components with petroleum
ether (120/l 60°C). Dry with dry compressed air. Do
not use any type of cloth.
Accumulator valve housing assembly - To assemble
(refer to fig. G9-4)

handled with care. Also, meticulous care must be
taken during assembly to ensure that complete
cleanliness is maintained.
1. Fit a new 'O' ring to the bleed screw (see item 1 ).
9/86
G9-2
Inspect the ball and if not damaged, place the ball
onto its seating. If the ball is damaged, replace with a
new one. Screw in the bleed screw; do not
overtighten.
2. Lubricate the connection valve (see item 3) with
clean hydraulic system mineral oil and then fit the
valve into the body ensuring that it slides into
position.
3. Fit a new 'O' ring to the spring retaining plug (see
item 2). Fit the spring retainer, spring, adjusting
washers (if previously fitted), and the spring retaining
plug. Position the retaining plug under a press and
depress the plug sufficiently to enable the snap ring
to be fitted. Remove the valve housing from the press.
4. Inspect the connection valve ball (see item 3) and
if not damaged place the ball onto its seating. If the
ball is damaged, replace with a new one. Fit the
connection valve retaining plate (see item 3) and
secure with the setscrew.
5. Inspect the cut-out valve (see item 4) to ensure
that the stop ring is fitted. Lubricate the cut-out valve
with clean hydraulic system mineral oil and then fit
the valve into position.
6. Fit a new sealing ring (see item 4) into the cut-out
chamber.
Position the valve housing onto a press and then
fit the spring seating, spring. adjusting shims ( if
previously fitted) and spring housing. Apply sufficient
pressure onto the spring housing to enable the two
retaining screws to be fitted. Aher tightening the
screws remove the valve housing from the press.
7. Lubricate a new sealing ring (see item 5) with
clean hydraulic system mineral oil and then fit the
ring into position.
8. Fit the sphere to the valve body and torque
tighten to the figures quoted in Section G22.
9. Fit the accumulator(s) as described under
Hydraulic accumulator - To fit.
Hydraulic accumulator - To test
1. Depressu rize the hydrau lie system as described
in Section G3.
2. Fit the pressure gauge RH9727 into the service
points of the relevant system by means of a suitable
high pressure pipe. The service points are shown in
Section G5.
3. Start the engine. The gauge needle should
immediately rise to approximately 62 bar (900 lbf/in2 )
on a new sphere, indicating the nitrogen gas pressure
in the accumulator sphere. The pressure should then
slowly rise to between 165 bar and 180 bar (2393
lbf/in• and 2610 lbf/in'). At this pressure the
accumulator cut-out valve should actuate and the
pump cease to charge the accumulator.
4. After the cut-out pressure has been reached, note
the pressure to which the gauge settles. This settling
takes up to one minute and the pressure should not
be more than 10 bar (150 lbf/in 2 ) below the cut-out
pressure. The pressure should then remain steady
unless the brake pedal is applied or the levelling
system actuated.
5. Fit a bleed tu be onto the bleed screw of the gauge

connecting pipe. Open the bleed screw and allow the
pressure gauge reading to fall. When the pressure
has fallen to between 140 bar and 155 bar (2030 lbf/in2
and 2248 Ibf/in 2 ) the accumulator control valve shou Id
allow the hydraulic pump to recharge the
accumulator.
6. If, on first starting the engine, the pressure gauge
needle fluctuates violently, rapidly climbs to 172 bar
(2500 /bf/in 2 ) and then immediately falls to zero on
application of the brake pedal, complete loss of
nitrogen gas pressure from the accumulator sphere is
indicated.
7. In the event of the nitrogen gas pressure of the
accumulator being less than 31 bar (450 lbf/in•) (refer
to Operations 3 and 6) the accumulator sphere must
be renewed.
8. If the cut-in and cut-out pressures of the
accumulator are outside the limits quoted in
Operations 3 and 5 the accu mu lator valve assembly
must be renewed.
9. If the pressure continues to fal I after the
accumulator has reached the cut-out pressure of
between 165 bar and 180 bar (2393 lbf/in2 and 2610
lbf/in 2 ) and then settles, an internal leak is indicated.
10. If observations of the gauge show that the pump
is still pumping (needle fluctuating with the pump
pulses) without giving a rise in pressure, then there is
a leak equal to the pump flow at that pressure. Pump
'cut-out' indicated by the change in the audible note
of the pump, can be heard if the end of the engine
dipstick is placed on top of the pump and used as a
hearing aid.
To verify an accumulator internal leak,
depressurize the system and remove the gauge from
the service point. Secure the service point to
withstand hydraulic pressure.
The following action separates the accumulator
from the rest of the system and allows the

accumulator and hydraulic pump to be checked
thoroughly.
Disconnect the 'accumulator to frame' high
pressure steel braided hydraulic hose from the
junction block located at the engine end. Blank off the
steel braided hydraulic hose.
Fit the pressure gauge RH9727 into the junction
block. Start the engine and observe the pressure. If
the symptoms persist (check that the accumulator
bleed screw is sealing correctly), the accumulator
valve assembly has an internal leak and the valve
assembly should be renewed. If however, the gauge
now behaves correctly and the pump can be heard to
cut-out, the leakage is occurring downstream and a
component isolating procedure should be
undertaken.
The component isolating procedure necessary to
locate the fault, consists of depressurizing the
systems, then removing or blanking off the pressure
feed to the various components in turn and repeating
the test procedure.
The pressure feeds to the components can be
readily identified from the colour coding chart (see
Section G4).
Note Always ensure that the mineral oil in the
reservoirs is just below the black line on the
indicator sight glass at all times during the test
procedure.
When a unit has been blanked off, before
removing the blank, the systems must be
depressurized either by continuous system operation
with the engine switched off, or by bleeding the
appropriate accumulator until it is depressurized.
After tests have been carried out involving
blanking off of components, all blanks should be
removed and the components reconnected. The
systems shou Id then be bled in accordance with the
information given in Section GS.

Deceleration conscious pressure limiting valve
Introduction
The deceleration conscious pressure limiting valve is
non-adjustable and must not be serviced other than
for the renewal of valve seals.
If a valve is found to be faulty and renewal of the
valve seals does not rectify the problem, it will be
necessary to fit as a replacement, a complete
deceleration conscious pressure limiting valve.
On cars fitted with an anti-lock braking system,
the deceleration conscious pressure limiting valve is
mounted on the left-hand side of the car, rearward of
the central crossmember.
On cars not fitted with an anti-lock braking
system, the valve assembly is mounted at the rear of
the brake actuation assembly.
To enable the valve to be identified as a hydraulic
system mineral oil component, the body of the valve
is coloured green and a green identification tab is
fitted to the valve bleed screw.
Under no circumstances should a complete valve
assembly or seals for use with conventional brake
fluid (i.e. RR363) systems be fitted, as a replacement.
During dismantling and assembly, cleanliness of
components is of the utmost importance.
Deceleration conscious pressure limiting valve - To
remove
1. Place the car on a ramp.
2. On cars not fitted with an anti-lock braking
system, remove the undershield protecting the brake
actuation linkage.
3. Depressurize the hydraulic systems as described
in Section G3.
4. Disconnect the two pipes from the pressure
limiting valve; blank off the pipe ends and valve ports.
5. On cars not fitted with an anti-lock braking
system, remove the split pins and nuts from the two
valve mounting bolts. Withdraw the bolts and remove
the valve and distance pieces.
On left-hand drive cars the angular end plate
must be removed from the mounting bolts.
6. On cars fitted with an anti-lock braking system,
remove the two mounting bolts and withdraw the
valve.

Brake distribution valves
Introduction
The brake distribution valves fitted to cars with
mineral oil hydraulic systems are identical in
appearance to those fitted to cars using conventional
brake fluid (i.e. RR363). In order to identify valves
suitable for use with hydraulic system mineral oil the
valve body and end plug are painted green.
Under no circumstances should a distribution
valve designed for use with a conventional brake
fluid system be fitted as a replacement.
The distribution valves are situated one above
the other within the brake actuation linkage assembly.
They operate when the footbrake is applied through a
linkage and balance lever arrangement (see fig.
G12·1).
Both valves are identical in operation but have
differing mounting points and pipe arrangements.
Corresponding valves on right-hand and left-hand
drive cars are identical.
Complete distribution valve assemblies are
available as service exchange units. Only the rubber
end cover, return spring, and end plug sealing washer
are available as separate items. The remaining
working parts are subject to very fine limits and are
therefore selectively assembled by the manufacturer.
Note The design of the valve is such that to provide
adequate lubrication for the 0,0025 mm (0.0001
in) clearance between the operating valve and
its bore, a small hydraulic system mineral oil
'leak-off' is permitted. This leakage is visible
and takes the form of a small droplet of mineral
oil hanging from the valve base. This is normal.
To determine if a valve is leaking excessively,
thus requiring renewal, check that the 'leak-off' does
not impair the braking efficiency of the car or cause a
noticeable reduction in the level of hydraulic system
mineral oil in the reservoir. If these conditions are
satisfied the valve shou Id be regarded as serviceable.
Brake distribution valve - To test (on the car)
1. Place the car on a ramp.
2. Remove fuse A6 from fuse panel F2 on the main
fuseboard.
3. Depressurize the hydraulic systems as described
in Section G3.
4. Remove the u ndershield from around the brake
actuation linkage.
5. Connect pressure gauge RH9727 GMF (ensuring
that a length of high pressure pipe is attached) into
the high pressure outlet port of the distribution valve
(blue or mauve pipe).
Alternatively, connect the gauge to any
convenient ju netion between the valve and the brake
calipers it supplies; for example the brake caliper
bleed screw points.
Note Pressure gauge RH9727 GMF is capable of
9/86

reading from zero to 207 bar (zero to 3000
Ibf/in 2 ).
6. Start the engine and depress the brake pedal. The
brake line pressure shown on the gauge should be
proportional to the load applied to the pedal, provided
that the accumulators are fully charged. For a 200 N
(45 lbf) load on the pedal, the line pressure should be
approximately 69 bar (1000 lbf/in 2 ). It should also be
possible to achieve a line pressure of 138 bar (2000
Jbf/in2 ) for a pedal pressure of approximately 333N
(75 lbf).
When the load on the brake pedal is continuously
varied, the brake line pressure should also vary
accordingly, without any marked lag or jerkiness.
If the above effort/pressures are not obtainable or
actuation shows marked lag or jerkiness on the gauge,
the distribution valve may be considered faulty and
must be renewed.
7. If a system internal leakage investigation, as
described in Section G9, under Hydraulic
accumulators - To test, shows a distribution valve to
be the cause of a loss in accumulator pressure the
actual leakage can be checked as follows.
8. Disconnect the low pressure return line from the
distribution valve port (black or white pipe). Blank the
end of the pipe to prevent drainage of the reservoir.
9. Insert a union and a length of pipe into the
distribution valve low pressure return port and place
the open end of the pipe into a clean container.
10. Start the engine but do not depress the foot brake
pedal.
11. Top-up the reservoir continuously to keep the
hydraulic system mineral oil level up to the black line
on the indicator sight glass.
For the valve to be acceptable the hydraulic
system mineral oil leakage should not exceed 25 ml
(0.875 fl oz} per half hour with the valve in the 'off'
position (i.e. brake pedal not applied) or 50 ml (1. 75
fl oz) per minute with the brake pedal depressed and
held steady under a load of 200 N (45 lbf). This load is
equivalent to a brake line pressure of 69 bar (1000
lbf/in 2 ). If the valve leakage exceeds these figures it
must be renewed.
Brake distribution valves- To remove
1. Place the car on a ramp and depressu rize the
hydraulic systems as described in Section G3.
2. Remove the undershield from around the brake
actuation linkage.
3. Remove the pipes from each valve. Blank off the
pipe ends and valve ports.
4. Unlock and remove the securing bolts from each
valve, draw the rubber boot seal off the valve. Taking
care not to bend the valve actuation push rod, move
each valve forward and downward, out of the
actuation linkage assembly.

Brake distribution valve- To dismantle
(see fig. G11-1)
1. Remove the end plug and sealing washer; collect
the return spring.
2. Carefully remove the valve stem. Extreme care
should be taken to ensure that the valve stem and its
operating bore do not become scratched or damaged.
3. Carefully wash all parts in petroleum ether
(120/160°C). Ory with dry compressed air, not with
any type of cloth.
Brake distribution valve - To inspect
1. Carefully examine the fine limit bore of the valve
insert and the outside diameter·of the valve stem.
Each surface should be smooth and free from
scratches.
2. Lubricate the bore of the valve insert and the
valve stem with clean hydraulic system mineral oil.
Carefully fit the valve stem into the valve insert bore
and check for any axial wear. There should only be
sufficient clearance to allow the valve stem to slide
freely in the bore; the stem and bore having a
clearance of 0,0025 mm (0.0001 in).
3. Wash the parts in petroleum ether ( 120/160°C).
Dry with dry compressed air, not with any type of
cloth.
3. Fit a new sealing washer to the end plug. Fit and
torque tighten the plug to between 82 Nm and 88 Nm
(8,3 kgf m and 9,0 kgf m; 60 lbf ft and 65 lbf ft).
4. Ensure that the inward and return movement of
the valve stem is smooth and does not bind or stick
at any point along its travel.
Brake distribution valve - To fit
Fit the distribution valves by reversing the procedure
given for removal noting the following.
1. If a replacement valve is being fitted, remove one
of the blanking plugs and allow any hydraulic system
mineral oil to drain from the valve. Fit the plug.
2. Torque tighten the mounting bolts and pipe
connections in accordance with the figures quoted in
Section G22 and Chapter P. Lock the securing bolt
tab-washers.
3. On completion, the hydraulic systems must be
bled as described in Section GS.

Rubber 'feel' cone - To set (see fig. G 12-3)
1. Fit the two return springs to the linkage assembly.
At this point the two abutment cups and the rubber
'feel' cone shou Id be loose and free to slide on the
shaft.
2. Tighten the adjusting nut u nti I the clearance
between the abutment cups and the rubber cone has
been removed, without a pre-load being applied to
the rubber cone.
3. Securely tighten the lock-nut onto the adjusting
nut, then depress and release the brake peda I several
times to ensure that the cone is seated correctly. Recheck the cone setting. Ensure that a security split pin
is fitted to the end of the shaft.
Main 'feel' spring- To set (see fig. G12-3)
1. Ensure that the actuation assembly remains in
the 'off' position.
2. Fit one end of the 'feel' spring into the adjusting
screw located in the centre of the spring anchor rod.
3. Rotate the spring and screw half a turn at a time
in the direction required u nti I the spring can be fitted
into the 'fee I' rod hook. With no cl ea ran ce between
the spring and hook, ensure that there is no spring
pre-load.
Note It is necessary to stretch the spring over the
hook to obtain the correct position where
cleara nee is determined.
4. Remove the spring from the hook and rotate the
spring and screw 1V2 turns clockwise, when viewed
from the brake pedal end of the assembly (i.e.
effectively tensioning the spring). Fit the spring onto
the hook.
Note It is essential to follow both of the previous
setting instructions accurately as deviations
will completely alter the subjective feel and
acceptability of brake control.
Clea ranee between the rubber 'fee I' cone and its
abutments will cause a spongy, long travel pedal feel
at low decelerations. Any pre-load on th is rubber wil I
cause jerky initial braking under these conditions.
Inadequate pre-load on the rear tension spring will
produce unwanted free travel at the pedal followed
by jerky initial braking. Too much pre-load will give
jerky initial braking followed by a period of 'spongy'
pedal travel.

Pressure switches
Introduction
A pressure switch is fitted into both System 1 (red)
and System 2 (orange) high pressure lines. They are
situated adjacent to each other on the rig ht-hand
valance in the engine compartment (see fig. G14·1 ).
The pressure switches are actuated by mineral oil
in the hydraulic systems and will illuminate the
warning pa nel(s) situated on the facia if the pressure
in the hydraulic system(s) falls below acceptable
working Iimits. It is important therefore that the
switches operate correctly at all times.
The switches are for use with mineral oil only and
have a green identification disc beneath the top
contact housing.
In the event of a pressure switch failure, or if
contamination of the hydraulic systems has occurred.
the complete switch assembly must be renewed.

Levelling valve
Introduction
The levelling valve is mounted on a bracket attached
to the left-hand side of the rear sub-frame front
crossmember.
Actuation of the levelling valve is controlled by a
torsion rod. This rod is attached to the levelling valve
ball pin lever at one end and to the rear anti-roll bar at
the other (see fig. G 15-1 ).
The levelling valve regulates the flow of hydraulic
system minera I oil, either to or from the rear
suspension struts, dependent on the variation in load
applied to the rear suspension. Any sustained change
in the ride height of the car operates the valve. Under
conditions where extra load is applied (ride height
low). pressurized hydraulic system mineral oil is
allowed to pass from the accumulator, through the
levelling valve to the rear suspension struts. When
the load is reduced (ride height high), the levelling
valve allows hydraulic system mineral oil to return
from the rear suspension struts to the reservoir.
When work is being carried out on the levelling
system, it should be noted that the levelling valve has
a predetermined delay before it responds to
movement of the ball pin operating lever. This delay
period for 1 mm (0.040 in) movement of the valve is
between 6.5 seconds and 12 seconds.
The levelling valve incorporates a seepage return
hose. One end of the hose connects to the side of the
levelling valve, the other end to the minimum
pressure valve. This hose arrangement allows
designed seepage within the levelling valve to return
back to the reservoir.
The levelling valve is a non-serviceable unit. In
the event of valve malfunction the complete valve
assembly must be renewed. The outer diameter of
the levelling valve is painted green for mineral oil
identification purposes.
Levelling valve-To remove
1. Place the car on a ramp. Engage park position
and chock the front wheels. Remove fuse A6 from
fuse panel F2 on the main fuseboard.

Front shock dampers, road springs,
and damper ball joints
Introduction
The shock dampers (see fig. H4-1) are of the sealed unit
type and no servicing is required. In the event of a
damper becoming faulty, it should be discarded and a
new damper fitted.
Dampers of varying damping characteristics are
fitted dependent on the car model. It is important
therefore to ensure that dampers of the correct type are
fitted when replacement is required.
If only one damper requires renewal the new
damper must be of the same type and rating as the
damper remaining on the car. In the event of a matching
damper becoming obsolete and therefore unobtainable
both dampers should be renewed.
Important Each damper contains nitrogen gas under
pressure. Under no circumstances should it
be subjected to undue force. Do not clamp
the damper in a vice.
If the road spring support collar has
seized to a faulty damper, the collar should
be discarded with the damper. Do not
attempt to hammer the collar from the
damper.
When using the spring retention tools RH8809 and
RH7909 on cars fitted with pressed steel spring plates
{see fig. H4-1 ), it will be necessary to use the adapter
plate RH 12053.
Front road spring and damper-To remove
1. Drive the car onto a ramp; apply the parking brake
and chock the rear wheels.
2. Fit the support plate halves of the road spring
retention tool RH8809, around the lower section of the
damper and secure th em together.
Insert the four long studs of the tool through the
upper spring pl ate and screw th em securely into the tool
support plate. Fit the special nuts, thrust races, and
washers to the top of each stud.
Warning Always examine the spring retention tool for
signs of thread-wear or damage prior to its use.
If you have doubts concerning any parts of the
tool and their ability to withstand spring load
you should renew those parts.
Always take extreme care when handling
a road spring in a compressed condition.
3.
Evenly tighten the four spring retention tool nuts to
retain the road spring in its compressed condition.
4. Support the front of the car body on sill blocks.
5. Remove the bolts securing the upper spring plate to
the body spring tower. Use hand pressure on the spring
plate to counteract any damper lift and to allow removal
of the bolts.
6. Remove the split pin, castellated nut, and washer
securing the damper ball pin assembly to the lower
triangle levers. Using a suitable extractor, release the

Rear road springs
Introduction
The rear road spring assembly comprises of a road
spring. upper and lower bell shaped support, adjusting
rings, and pliable spring seats. A flexible strip is fitted
between the first and second spring coils at both ends of
the spring. The adjusting rings, are each 1.22 mm
(0.048 in) thick and are used to obtain the correct spring
load and car ride height. Each ring is equivalent to a
spring load increase of 35 N (3,5 kgf. 7.8 lbf) and will
increase the car height by approximately 1, 78 mm
{0.070 in).
Warning Always examine the &pring retention tool
RH9299 for signs of thread wear or damage
prior to its use. Renew the tool if necessary.
Rear road spring - To remove
1. Drive the car onto a ramp and chock the front
wheels.

Ensure that the threads in the upper spring support
are in good condition to withstand the full spring load
when the retention tool is inserted.
13. Evenly unscrew the two nuts on the compression
tool to completely eKl:end the spring.
14. Examine all the components for serviceability.
Road spring-To fit
1. Fitthe spring and spring supports into the
compression tool. The threaded support should rest in
the baseplate adapter.
The flexible strips should be inserted at both ends
of the spring between the first and second coils (see fig.
H10-2}. On later cars the flexible strips are half the
circumference of the spring.
2. Evenly tighten the tool nuts to compress the spring
until the measurement taken during spring removal is
achieved.
3. Screw the spring retention tool RH9299 into the

the adapter block RH9504.
5. When fitting a new spring, obtain the spring load
figure from the label attached to the spring.
6. Refer to the spring adjustment chart to ascertain the
correct number of adjusting rings required to obtain the
correct spring load.
One adjusting ring is equivalentto 35 N (3,5 kgf,
7 .81 bf) therefore to achieve the correct nomina I load
multiples of this figure should be added to the load
figure quoted on the spring label. This will give the
number of rings required.
7. Ensure the trailing arm is in the full rebound
position.

Rear suspension settings
Introduction
Following operations in which the suspension ha5 been
partially or fully dismantled. the ride height of the car
should be checked and if necessary adjusted.
To allow the suspension to settle after assembly and
prior to this check being carried out, the car should be
driven back and forth several times.
The ride height of the car i5 determined by three
factors. The poundage of the road spring!">, the quantity
of adjusting rings fitted to the springs, and the hydraulic
mineral oil and gas pressure in the rear suspension strut
and gas spring assemblies.
When checking the ride height it is also necessary
to determine the closing pressure of the minimum
pressure valve, i.e. the amount of hydraulic pressure
retained in the rear struts. For full details of the closing
pressure setting reference should be made to Chapter G.
Ride height - To check
1. The ride height should be checked with a full tank
of fuel. If however the tank is partially empty, weight
equivalent to the amount of missing fuel should be
positioned adjacent to the fuel tank.
For each 4,5 litres {1 Imp gal, 1.2 US gal) of
missing fuel add 3,4 kg (7 .5 lb) of weight.
The fuel tank capacity is 108 litres (23.75 Imp gal,
28.5 US gal).
2. Ensure that the spare wheel, jack, tools. and
accessories are fitted in their correct positions.
3. Check the tyre pressures and correct if necessary.
This operation must be carried out as incorrect tyre
pressures will result 1n incorrect ride height
measurements.
4. Drive the car onto a suitable level ramp and &ecurely
chock the front road wheels. Do not set the ride height
with the car on a surface which is not level as the
variation in weight distribution can affect the cars
height.
5. Move the gear range selector lever to tha neutral
position. Remove the gearchange fuse from the
fuseboard (fuse A6 on fuse panel F2). and release the
parking brake.
6. Depressurize the hydraulic &ystem by releasing the
accumulator bleed screws as described in Chapter G.
Close the bleed screws.
7. Attach a bleed tube and container to the rear strut
bleed screw and release the pressure from the struts.
8. Fit pressure gauge RH 9727 GMF into the strut
bleed point.
9. Start the engine and allow the: hydraulic systems to
fully pressurize (approximately four minutes).
10. Bleed the suspension struts and pressure gauge.
Allow the car time to level (approximately one minute).
11. Slacken the
bolt which clamps the torsion rod to
the rear stabilizer bar.
12. Position an open ended spanner (maximum length

(500 lbf/in 2 ) is indicated on the pressure gauge.
TSD 4700
H 11-1
13. Pivot the lever away from the valve. The pressure
will start to descend slowly.
14. Note the pressure on the gauge when it stops
falling. This is the minimum pressure valve setting and
should be between 24, 1 bar and 26,2 bar (350 lbf/in2
and 380 lbf/in 2 ).
If the pressure is outside these limits. the minimum
pressure valve should be adjusted as described in
Chapter G Se::tion G 1 7.
15. When the car has fully towered, pull down on the
rear of the car then release it, this will ensure that the car
has fully settled.
16. With the minimum pressure valve retaining the
correct strut pressures. measure the height at points A
and Bas shown in figure H 11-1. Both measurements
should be taken from the level surface on which the car
stands. Dimension A to the foremost bottom bolt
securing the sub-frame mounting bracket to the body
sill. Dimension B to the centre of the rear bolt attaching
the parkinQ brake linkage to the trailing arm.
17. Subtract dimension 8 from dimension A. The
resultant figure must be within the following tolerances.

18. If the ride height is incorrect, add or remove the
required number of adjusting rings to or from the spring
seats.
Refer to Section H 10 for detai Is of the spring
removal procedure.
19. When the ride height is correct the levelling valve
should be set as follows.
20. Position an open ended spanner [maximum length

1. With the crossmember and trailing arm assembly
mounted on a surface table as shown in figures H 11-2
TSD 4700
H11-3
and H 11 -4 proceed as follows.
2. Mark a centre line between the centre of the rear
crossmember and the final drive crossmember.
3. Place a straight edge across the hub mounting
tubes to give the equivalent of the road wheel rim
diameter (see fig. H 11-4).
With the aid of a precision square positioned 20S
mm (8.20 in) from the centre line of the hub (see fig.
H11 -4 ), measure the distance from the base of the
square to the centre line marked on the table.
4. Repeat the measurement from the same distance on
the other side of the hub centre line.
5. Compare the measurements taken on each side of
the hub centre line.
The toe-in for one wheel to the centre line on the
surface table should be between 1,35 mm and 1,8 mm
(0.053 in and 0.071 in).
If the toe-in is incorrect, adjust the outer mounting
point of the trailing arm then tighten the centre bolt.
Note Adjustment of the toe- in will also affect the
camber setting. Therefore it is necessary to adjust
both settings until a satisfactory position is
obtained.
6. Repeat the procedure for the other trailing arm.
The maximum permissable toe-in differential
between each side of the car is 0,38 mm (0.015 in).
7. On completion, torque tighten the centre bolts to
between 82 Nm and 88 Nm (8,3 kgf m and 9,0 kgf m,
60 lbf ft and 65 lbf ft) . Repeat the camber and toe-in
checks to ensure movement has not occurred during
tightening.
8. Secure the location plates on the outer mounting
brackets with self-tapping screws. It will be necessary to
drill two 4 mm (0.156 in) diameter holes in each
crossmember bracket to accept the screws.

Section L2
Introduction
The sealed cooling system comprises a pressurized
expansion bottle, a radiator, and a pump. Also, various
passages and pipes convey the coolant around the
system (see fig. L2-1 ).
A mixture containing equal amounts of approved
coolant/anti-freeze and water should be used in the
system at all times.
The coolant mixture in the system should always
be maintained at the correct level and this must be
checked at the intervals specified in the Service
Schedule Manual, TSO 4702.
The coolant level can be checked at the trans lucent
expansion bottle. The correct level should be between
the MAX and MIN marks on the bottle. If a full check is
to be carried out refer to page L3-3.
The cooling system is pressurized and the correct
pressure is maintained by the expansion bottle
pressure cap. Removal of the pressure cap while the
engine and radiator are still hot requires extreme care.
The coolant pump is situated at the front of the
engine and is driven from the crank.shaft by twin
matched 'Vee' belts.
Coolant from the bottom of the radiator is pumped
via transfer pipes and crankcase passages directly
onto the outside of the 'wet' type eng ine cylinder
liners and then into the cylinder heads. From the
cylinder heads the coolant travels along transfer pipes
and then flows past the thermostat to the top of the
radiator.
When the engine is cold the thermostat is closed.
Therefore, the coolant by-passes the radiator matrix
and is recirculated through the engine to reduce the
warm-up period. Once normal operating temperature
is attained, the thermostat opens and the coolant is
directed to the radiator.
The temperatu re of the coolant is registered on
the gauge situated on the facia. Whenever the ignition
is on, a transmitter situated in the thermostat housing
signals the coolant temperature to the gauge.

Section L3
Coolant
The cooling system should contain a 50% mixture of
an approved coolant/anti-freeze and water. This
mixture not only provides frost protection down to a
temperature of -37°C {-35°F), but it also prevents
corrosion of the cooling passages.
Refer to the Service Schedule Manual, TSD 4702,
to obtain the specified service intervals for renewing
the coolant, fitting a new thermostat, and reverse
flushing the system.
Except in an emergency, water must not be used
to either fill or top-up the cooling system. If a situation
Fig. L3-1
does arise where water is used, the coolant mixture
must be corrected as soon as possible, otherwise
corrosion damage will occur to the engine coolant
passages.
Coolant/anti-freeze
The trade name of the coolant/anti-freeze is ICI 007/
400F (obtainable under a Rolls-Royce and Bentley
label) and should be used all year round. Do not mix
ICI 007/400F or top-up with any other brand of coolant/
anti-freeze.

Anti-freeze concentration - To check
If the strength of the coolant requires increasing,
sufficient coolant should be drained from the radiator
and replaced with undiluted anti-freeze. Afterwards
run the engine until normal operating temperature is
attained and the anti-freeze has become thoroughly
mixed with the coolant. Stop the engine and again
check the concentration in the expansion bottle.
An acceptable level of anti-freeze concentration is
between 45% and 55%. Therefore, as a hydrometer
may be inaccurate where readings above 40% are
expected, it is recommended that a refractometer
(see fig. L3-1) is used in the following manner.
1. Lift the plastic cover on the refractometer (tester)
to expose both the measuring window and bottom of
the plastic cover.
2. Thoroughly clean both exposed surfaces with
clean water and then wipe them dry with a clean soft
cloth.
3. Carry out the usual workshop safety precautions.
4. Raise the bonnet and remove the expansion
bottle cap.
5. Release the tip of the clear plastic tu be from the
tester and insert it into the coolant in the expansion
bottle.
6. Press and then release the bulb on the end of the
p Iastic tu be. This wi II draw a sm a II quantity of coolant
into the tube.
7. Withdraw the test equipment and bend the end of
the plastic tu be around the tester so that the tip of the
tube can be inserted into the cover plate opening.
8. Press the bulb on the end of the plastic tube and
eject a few drops of coolant onto the measuring
surface .
9. Point the tester towards the light and look into the
eye piece.
Do not open the plastic cover when taking a
reading. Evaporation of water from the fluid sample
being tested can affect the reading.
10. The anti-freeze protection reading is at the point
where the dividing line between light and dark {edge
of shadow) crosses the scale. The anti-freeze reading
is on the right-hand scale.
Note The tester temperature scale is reversed from a
standard thermometer. Below zero readings are
on the upper half of the scale .
11. If the temperature reading is higher (further down
on the scale) than -31°C (-24°F) it will be necessary to
refer to figure L3-2 and add the appropriate amount of
anti-freeze to the system.
Example
A tester reading of -29°C (-2 0°F) is eq u a I to an antifreeze concentration of 43% and is outside the service
limits. Follow the line upwards until the angled line is
reached, then trace the horizontal line to the scale on
the rig ht-hand size of the graph to find that 2 litres (3.5
Imp pt, 4.2 US pt) of coolant should be removed from
a full system and replaced with undiluted anti-freeze.
Once the addition al concentrated anti-freeze has
mixed with the existing coolant the percentage
concentration will be 50%.

12. After adding undiluted anti-freeze, al low the
engine to operate normally for a few days before
carrying out further checks to determine the
percentage of anti-freeze concentration. This will
allow time for the anti-freeze to be thoroughly mixed
with the existing coolant.
The anti-freeze concentration should be checked
in both the expansion bottle and the radiator as
approximately 0,28 litres (0.5 Imp pt 0.6 US pt) is
transferred to and from the expansion bottle each time
the engine is warmed-up and then left to cool. Failure
to allow the new anti-freeze to circulate properly will
result in a false reading.
Note If a refractometer is not available and a
hydrometer has to be used a scale reading of
between 1,06 and 1,07 shou Id be obtained, with
the coolant at room temperature, for the
mixture to be correct.
Coolant level - To check and top-up
Warning The cooling system becomes pressurized
during engine running. Therefore, extreme
care should be taken when removing the
pressure cap from an engine th at is warm or
at normal running temperature.
Routine check
To check the coolant level outside a normal service
schedule and when no cooling/heating system fault is
reported or suspected, proceed as follows.
1 . If the engine is hot ensure that the coo!a nt Ieve I in
the translucent expansion bottle is at the MAX mark.
Top-up if necessary and replace the expansion bottle
cap.
2. If the engine is cold ensure that the coolant level
in the translucent expansion bottle is half-way
between the MIN and MAX marks. Top-up if necessary
and replace the expansion bottle cap.
3. If the coo Iant level in the expansion bottle is either
below the MIN mark or there is no coolant in the
expansion bottle, carry out the Full check procedure.
Full check
To check the coolant level during a service schedule
and/or when a cool in g/h eating system fau It is reported
or suspected, proceed as follows.
1. Carry out the usual workshop safety precautions.
2. Check the coolant level in the translucent
expansion bottle and if the level is low or the bottle is
empty, allow the engine to cool. Then, remove the
pressure cap from the expansion bottle.
To remove the cap, turn it slowly anti-clockwise

Thermostat housing assembly
The thermostat housing is situated at the forward end
of the induction manifold (see fig. L5-1 ). It is connected
to the induction manifold by transfer pipes.
All cars are fitted with the same thermostat
housing. However, various thermostat outlet elbows
can be fitted, dependent upon the specification of the
vehicle.
A number of electrical switches are fitted into the
thermostat housing dependent upon the specification
of the vehicle. For service details of these switches
refer to Electrical Manuals, TSD 4701 (prior to 1989
model year} or TSD 4848 (1989 model year).
Thermostat
The engine cooling system incorporates a wax
elementthermostat (see fig. L5·2) . When the eng i ne is
started from cold the thermostat is in the closed
position. This reduces the engine warm-up time by
recirculating the coolant leaving the engine back to the
coolant pump, thus by-passing the radiator. As the
coolant approaches its normal working temperature
the thermostat opens and allows the engine cool a ntto
flow through the radiator. When the thermostat is in
the fully open position it closes the by-pass circuit.
On top of the thermostat is the bridge piece and
into this is secured the fixed piston rod.
The valve assembly containing the wax capsule
seat, is on the underside of the top flange. It is biased
in th is position by a spring and retained by a 'U' piece.
A second outer 'U' piece (by-pass valve) loaded by
a light poundage spring, is fitted to the bottom of the
thermostat to operate the by-pass circuit.
The top flange incorporates a vent hole containing
a jiggle pi n. This vent allows air to escape when the
cooling system is being filled. When the system is
operating the jiggle pin rises to close the vent.
Also situated around the top flange are fusible
plugs. These plugs melt at approximately 124°C
(255°F) and provide vent holes for the coolant, in the
event of the thermostat not opening, to control the
coolant t emperature.
The thermostat operates when the coolant
temperature approaches between 85°C and 89"C
(185°F and 192"F). At this point the wax in the capsule
changes its state and expands rapidly. The expansion
compresses the rubber sleeve forcing it off the end of
the tapered piston rod. As the sleeve is an integral part
of the main valve assembly, this movement is
transmitted to the valve moving it downwards off its
seat. A small quantity of warm coolant is then allowed
to pass between the va lve and its seatto the radiator
matrix, where it is cooled.
Further rises in engine coolant temperature cause
a progressive opening of the main valve until a
temperature of between 99°C and 102°C (210°F} and
5/88
Printed in England
@ Rolls-Royce Motor Cars L1m 1ted 1988
Fig. LS-1
Thermostat housing assembly
215°F) is attained. At these temperatures the main
valve is fully open (maximum travel 14.27 mm (0.562
in)].
When the main valve assembly has opened
10 mm (0.375 in), the by-pass valve on the base of the
thermostat assembly w ill have moved under spring
pressure sufficiently to close the coolant by-pass
circuit and all coolant is then directed to the radiator
matrix.
A decrease in engine temperature will cause the
wax in the capsule to contract and, due to spring
pressure, close the main valve and also open the
by-pass circuit.
The thermostat main valve assembly, being
sensitive to the temperature of the surrounding
coolant, controls the flow of coolant to the radiator
matrix to suit the requirements of the engine.
At the service interva Is quoted in the Service
Schedule Manual, TSD4702, a new thermostat should
be fitted.
Do not attempt to adjust the thermostat.

Coolant pump
The coolant pump is situated at the front of the engine
and is belt driven from the crankshaft pulley.
The pump draws coolant from the bottom t ank of
the radiator assembly and pumps it via the coolant
galleries in the crankcase t o ci rculate dire ctly onto the
outside of the cyl i nders liners. The coolant then
circulates through galleries in the top
the crankcase,
via the cylinder heads and transfer pipes to t he
thermostat housing.
Dependent upon the temperature in the
thermost at housing, the coo lant either by-passes the
radi ator (because the thermostat is closed) and
recirculat es through the eng ine, or passes through
the thermostat to be cooled i n the radiator assembly.
The coolant pump is fitted to the engine as an
individual component. When either overhaul or
maintenance work becomes necessary it is not

essential to remove the complete assembl y , the pump
body can remain fitted to the eng i ne and all mov i ng
parts withdrawn as a sub-a ssembly (see fig. l6-1).
If the coolant pump requires overhaul it is
recommended that a service replacement unit is
fitted.
However, if this is not possible for any reason the
existing assembly can be overhauled.

Rack and pinion unit
1987 and 1988 model years
Introduction
The steering unit is a rack and pinion power assisted
mechanism with centre connection to 'one-piece'
track rods. Toe-in can be set by the movement of an
intermediate adjuster linking the track rod inner and
outer components. An anti-joggle valve is fitted into
the hydraulic pressure line (located in the spoo l valve
housing), to minimise any feedback to the steering
wheel caused by road irregularities. The steering rack
is f itted with internal lock stops.
Important Damage can be caused to the steering
column and rack boots if the steering is

Power assistance
Pressure is applied to the steering system rack in
varying degrees. This provi des assistance to the
steering wheel, dependent on the effort required to
move the road wheels.

The amount of assistance is controlled by the
passage or restriction of oil through a series of ports
in the upper half of the pinion box. This creates a
pressure differential across the rack, proportional to
the load applied at the steering wheel.
The system operates by causing a small torsion
bar to twist, immediately the steering wheel is moved,
rotating the concentric va Ive components to provide
the pressure differential required . A ' fail safe' device
prevents the torsion bar from bei ng overstressed by
limiting the number of degrees through which it can
twist.
Important The steering unit must be handled with
exceptional care. Avoid impact loads on
the input shaft and centre off-take, and
damage to the convoluted sea Is which
could cause premature fai lure of the unit.
Do not disturb the end plug or locking nut whilst
the rack and pinion unit is fitted to the car.

accident of sufficient severity to ca use
damage to the front longerons, all the seat
belts worn by occupants at the ti me of the
impact must be replaced .
If an impact results in local damage to
any of the seat belt anchorage points, then
that particular seat belt must be replaced
irrespective of whether the be It was worn or
not at the time of the impact.
In the event of a rear impact, the severity
of the damage must be judged and ifin any
doubt the occupied seat belts must be

Passive restraint- seat belts
Introduction
Passive restraint seat belts are provided for the driver
and front seat passenger. Each seat position
comprises a diagonal inertia reel belt which travels
from its unfastened position on the 'A' post, along a
transporter track, to an anchorage point o n the 'BC'
post. The travel mechanism for the belt is cable driven
via an electric motor. The motor being mounted in the
sill panel. A manually operated inertia reel lap belt
completes the system.
Each seat base incorporates two i ne rti a reel
mechanisms. The mechanism for the lap belt is
secured to the outboard side of the seat base. The
mechanism for the diagonal belt, together with the
stalk for the lap belt, is secured to the inboard side of
the seat base.
The operation of each diagonal seat belt is
independently controlled via an electronic control
unit. Each unit is mounted to the underside of a trim
panel. The panels being located between the front
seats and the centre stowage bi n. A check procedure
for the system is detailed under the heading Passive
restraint system -Operational check procedure.
To reduce the possibility of injury in the event of
an accident or if the car is stopped suddenly, it is
important that the driver and front seat passenger are
restrained by both their diagonal belt and manually
operated lap belt.
If the travel of a diagonal belt is interrupted the
belt will stall and the appropriate seat belt warning
panel wi II illuminate constantly. To reset the system
carry out the following procedure.
Ensure that the car is stationary. Then, move the
gear range selector lever to the park position and apply
the parking brake.
Turn the ignition key to the LOCK position; then
back to the RUN position.
The belt should then resume its normal operation.
If after several attempts to reset the system the
belt fails to operate then a fault must be suspected.
ln the event of a failure, two emergency seat belt
tongues are supplied. These provide a temporary
conventional active restraint system (see Emergency
seat belt tongues- Fitting and removal procedure).
If a seat belt requires clean i ng, wipe the webbing
using warm soapy water and a sponge. Do not use
bleaches or dyes, as they may impair the efficiency
and safety of the seat belts.
For information on the removal and fitting
procedure of the rear seat belts reference should be
made to Section 514.
Warning In the event of a vehicle being involved in an
accident of sufficient severity to cause
damage to the front longerons, a II the seat
belts worn by occupants at the time of the
impact must be replaced.

anchorage po int.
On Bentley Eight cars from vehicle identification
number *SCBZE02B7JCX22382* and Bentley
Mulsanne S cars from *SCBZS02B5JCX22406* an
alteration to the position of the pro)(im1ty switch has
been introduced by the fitting of an additional 2 mm
10.080 in) thick spacer and a mod ified 6 mm (0.240 in)
backing spacer (see inset A) .
This alteration can also be incorporated on cars
prior to the above vehicle identification numbers.
However, the proximity switch must f irst be tested to
ensure that no electrical fault is present. To test the
switch proceed as follows.

heading Operational check procedu re.
2. When the di agonal belt ha s completed it s travel to
t he anchorage point, immediately release the belt
clasp and hold the magnet closer to t he switch
assembly.
If the chime and warning panel cancel, and resume
operation only when the magnet is moved away, this
ind icates that the proximity switch is operating correctly
and the alteration can ba incorporated as described in
Operations 3 to 10 inclusive.
Note If the chime and warning pane l do not cancel
when the magnet is held close to the switch then
an electrical fault must be suspected and
reference should be made to TSD 4 701 Electrical
Manual .
3. The part numbers of the items required to

Section T2
Introduction
The torque converter transmission is a fully automatic
unit, consisting primarily of a three -element hydraulic
torque converter and a compound planetary gear train.
Three multiple-disc clutches, one roller clutch, one
sprag clutch, and two friction bands, provide the
elements which are required to obtain the desired
functions of the gear train.
A name plate is fitted to the right-hand side of the
transmission, toward the centre of the case. The serial
number is prefixed by either the letters RHA, AJA, RNA ,
or ANAB, and the year in numerals.
On 1989 model year transmissions, the serial
number is prefixed by either the letters RDA. AKA, ALA,
AMA, or RMAB, and the year in numera Is.
The torque converter, clutches, and rollers connect
the engine to the planetary gears with the aid of
pressurized transmission fluid. Three forward gears and
reverse are provided. When necessary, the torque
convener will supplement the gears by multiplying
engine torque.
The torque converter is of welded steel
construction and cannot be dismantled. The unit is
made up of two vaned sections which face each other
across a fluid filled housing. The pump half of the
converter is connected to the engine and the turbine
half is connected to the transmission .
When the engine is running the converter pump
rotates and throws fluid against the turbine, causing the
turbine to rotate. The fluid then returns to the pump in a
circular flow and continues this cycle as long as the
engine is running.
The converter also has a smaller vaned section,
called a stator, which directs the fluid back to the pump
through smaller openings at greater speed. The
speeded-up fluid imparts additional force to the engine
driven converter pump. thus multiplying engine torque.
A hydraulic system pressurized by an
internal/external gear type of pump provides the
working pressure required to operate the friction
elements and automatic controls.
External control connections
The external control connections to the transmission
are.
1. An electric gearchange actuator, connecting rod,
and levers. The actuator responds to an electrica I
signal from a switch on the steering column, then
moves the gear change lever on the transmission to
the required position .
2. Engine vacuum which operates a vacuum
modulator unit.
3. 12 volt electrical signals to operate an electrica I
detent solenoid.
Gear and torque ratios

1.5:1
1.0 :1
2.0 : 1
Each gear ratio can be multiplied by as much as
2.2, depe11 ding upon the slip speed of the converter
pump and turbine .
Vacuum modulator
A vacuum modulator is used to automatically sense
engine torque inp ut to the t ransmission. The
modulator transmits this signal to the pressure
regulator which controls main line pressure . This
ensures that all the torque requirements of the
transmission are met and that the correct gear change
spacing is obtained at all throttle openings.
Detent solenoid
The detent solenoid is activated by the th rattle
position switch, mounted on the end of the primary
th rattle spindle. When the pedal is in the kick-down
position, the switch is closed; the solenoid in the
transmission is then activated and a down-change will
occur at speeds below 129 km/h (80 mile/h). At lower
speeds a down-change will occur at smallerthrottle
openings without the aid of the throttle position
switch assembly, or the solenoid ,
Heat eKchanger
The heat exchanger for the transmission fluid is
situated in the bottom of the radiator matrix (see fig.
T2-1).
Selector positions
The transmission quadrant has six selector positions
which enable the driver to control the operation of the
transmission under vary i ng drivi ng conditions . The
six selector positions appear in the following
sequence, from left to right ; P - Park, R - Reverse, N Neutral, D- Drive, I- Intermediate, and L- Low. The
engine can only be started in the park and neutral
positions.
P - Park position positively locks the output shaft
to the transmission case by means of a locking pawl
and prevents the car from rolling either backward or
forward when parked on a steep incline.
A - Reverse en ables the car to operate in a reverse
direction.
N - Neutral enables the engine to be started and
run without the car moving.
D- Drive is used for all normal driving conditions
and maximum economy . Drive range has three gear
ratios, from starting to direct drive. Fo reed down TSO 4700
T2-1
changes are available for safe and rapid overtaking,
by fully depressing the accelerator pedal.
I - Intermediate adds new performance for
congested traffic conditions or hilly terrain. This range
has the same starting ratio as D, but prevents the
transmission from changing above second gear;
acceleration is retained when extra performance is
required.
The engine can be used to ass ist braking in th is
range.
L- Low range permits operation at a lower gear
ratio and should be used when maxi mum torque
multiplication is required or, when descending a steep
gradient. When the selector lever is moved from drive
(D) to low (L) at normal road speeds, the transmission
will change to second gear and rema in in second gear
until the speed of the car is reduced to the normal 2-1
down-change speed. The transmission will then
change down to f irst gear and remain in first gear
regardless of car speed or engine revolutions, until
the selector lever is moved into either the drive (D) or
the intermed iate (ll position .
Hydraulic system
Pressure control
The transmission is control led automatically by a
hydraulic system . Hydraulic pressure is supplied by
the transmission oil pump, which is engine driven.
Main line oil pressure is controlled by a pressure
regulator valve train which is located i n the pump and
by the vacuum modulator which is connected to
engine va cuum.
The pressu re regulator controls main line oil
pressure automatically, in response to a pressure

\
signal from a modulator va lve. Th is is done in such a
manner, that t he torque requ irements of the
transmission clutches a re met and correct gearchange
spacing is obtained at all throttle o penings.
To control line pressure , a modulator pressure is
used. This pressure varies in t h e same manner as
torque input to the transmission . Since the torque
input to the clutches is the product of engine torque
and converter ratio, modulator pressure must
compensate fo r changes in either o r both of these.
To meet these requ irements, m odu Iator pressure
is regulated by engine vacuum, which is an ind icator
of engine torqu e and throttle open ing. It wi ll decrease
as the car speed increases to compensate for the
changing converter torque ratio .
Vacuum modulator assembly
The engine vacuum signal is rece ived by the v acuum
modulator, which comprises an evacuated metal
bellows, a diaphragm, and two springs. The assembly
is so arranged that the be ll ows and external spring
apply a force th at acts on the modulator valve so t hat
it increases modulator pressu re. To control modu lato r
pressure, engine vacuum and an internal spring
oppose the bellows and external spring.
To redu ce the effect of altitude on change point s,
the effective area of the diaphragm is different than
that of the bel lows. Atmospheric p ressure acts on the
resulting d iffe rential area to reduce modulator
pressure.
Governor assembly
The speed of th e car is sign alled to t he transmission
by a governor which is d ri ven by the transmission
output shaft. The governor is comprised bas ically of a
va Ive body, a regulator va Ive, and flyweights.
Centrifuga I force causes the fl yweights to act on
the regulato r va Ive. The valve t hen regulates a
pressure sig nal which increases with road speed.
Governo r pressure acts on the modulator valve
to cause modu Iator pressure t o d ec rease as the speed
of the ca r increases.

Servicing
Careful and regular maintenance of the transmission
is necessary to ensure maximum reliability.
For details of the servicing and maintenance
requirements of the transmission, refer to the Se rv ice
Schedule Manual - TSO 4702.
It is absolutely essential that attention be paid to
cleanliness whenever the inte rior of the transmission
is exposed and when work is being carried out on a
particular unit belonging to the transmission. The
smallest particle of di rt in the o i I may interfere with
the correct operation of the valves, particularly in the
control valve unit.
A list of approved transmission fluids is given in
Chapter D.
Fluid level- To check and top-up
The fluid level in the torque converter transmiss ion
can be checked accurately only when the car is
standing on a level surface, the engine is running at
the idle speed , and the transm ission flu id is at norm al
operating temperature, approximately 77°C (170°F).
This is only obtained after 24 kil ometres (15 miles ) of
highway/motorway driving or after 16 kilometres
(10 miles) of city driving.
As an initial check, the fluid level may be che cked
after starting from cold as follows.
1. With the car on a level surface. apply the parking
brake and chock the road wheels.
2. On four door cars, remove the protective cover
from the windscreen wiper mechanism to gain access
to the dipstick. Ensure that the following safety
procedure is undertaken to iso late the mechanism
prior to removing the cover.
Ensure that the wind screen wiper control switch
situated on the facia is in the off position. Remove a
windscreen wiper relay, preferably number three
(see fig. T3-1 ). To remove the relay pull it vertical ly
from its mounting.
Always clean the top of the dipstick before
removing it from the fi Iler tube.
3. Start and run the engine for three to four minut es
with t he gear range selector in th e park position .
Allow the engine to achieve a normal idle speed .
4,
Whilst sitting in the driving seat, firmly apply the
footbrake and move the gear range selector through
the fu 11 range of gear positions pausing briefly in each
range. Return the selector to the park position .
5. Immediately check the flui d level with the engine
running at idle speed .
The level sho u Id be 25 mm (1 in) below the FU LL
HOT mark on the dipstick.
Top-up to this level if nec essary.
Important When checking the fl uid level with the
engine running, take care to avoid any
moving parts such as driv e belts, pull eys,
fan blades, etc. Care should also be taken

After t his initial check a fu rther check should be
carried out as follows.
6. Drive the car for approx imately 24 kilometres ( 15
miles) of highway/motorway driving or 16 kilomet res
(10 mi les) of city driving. Th is should ensure the
transmission has reached norma l operating
temperature.
It is essential th at this tern peratu re is attained.
Do not top-up the fluid leve l to the FULL HOT ma rk on
the dipstic k when the fluid is only warm, as th is w i ll
result in an overflow situation when the normal
operati ng te mperature is attained. Overfilli ng will
result in fluid being discharged from th e transm ission
breather pipe.
TSD 4700

7. Position the car on a level surface, firmly apply
t he parking brake and select park with the gear
selector lever.
8. Carry out the procedure described for the initial
check (Ope rations 2 to 5 inclusive).
9. With the transmission fluid at normal operating
temperature the lev el of the fluid should be within t he
cross hatched area marked on the di pstick (see fig.
T3-l ).
10. If necessary add fluid by pou ri ng it down the f i lier
tube, with the engine still runn ing, until the flu id is to
the FULL HOT mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
11. When the flu id level is correct, switch off the
engine and fit the windscreen wiper mechanism cover
a~d relay.
To drain the sump and renew the intake strainer
1. Position the car on a ramp.
2 . Place a c lean container having a m inimum
capacity of 3 litres (5 Imp pt, 6 US pt ) beneath the
drain plug situated on the corner of t he transmission
sump (see fig. T3-2).
3 . Remove the drain plug and a/low the oil to dra in
from the sump .
4. Remove the setscrews secu ri ng the transmission
sump and lower the sump. Discard the gasket .
5. Unscrew and remove the stepped bolt securing
the intake pipe and strainer assembly to the
transmission casi ng. Remove the strainer assembly.
6. Discard the intake strainer but reta i n the intake
pipe which connects the strainer to th e casing .
7. Fit a new rubber 'O' ring onto the intake pipe ,
lubricate the 'O' ri ng with clean transmission flu id .
8. Ensure a new rubber sea l is fitted to the bore in
the new intake strainer. Fit the stra iner to the intake
pipe and secure the strainer with the stepped bolt .
9. Torque tighten the bolt to 14 Nm (1,4 kgf m,
10 lbfft).
10. Fit the transmission sump using a new gasket.
Torque tighten th e setscrews to between 8 Nm and
14 Nm (0,9 kgf m and 1.4 kgf m; 6 lbfft and 10 lbfft),
11. Add 4,5 litres (8 Imp pt, 9.6 US pt) of an approved
flu id to the sump, pouring the flu id down the filler
tube.
Note W hen draining the sump b ut not renewing the
intake strainer, add on ly 2,8 litres 15 Imp pt,
6 us pt).
12. Check the flu id level as descri bed under the
heading, Fluid level -To chec k and top-up.
Transmission unit (dry) - To fill
The fluid capacity of the torque converter
transmiss ion, including the t orque converter, is
approximate ly 10,6 litres (18.75 Im p pt, 22.5 US pt),
but the correct level is determ ined by the marks on
the dipstick rather than by the quant ity of flu id added.
It is i mportant that the correct level is maintained.
When the transmission has been ov erhauled or a new
one fitted and a co mplete f il l is requ ired, including t he
torque converter, proceed as fo l lows.
1. Pour ap proximately 6,5 lit res {11.5 Imp pt, 14 US
pt) down through the filler tube.
2. With the car on a level surface, apply th e park ing
brake and choc k the road whee ls.
3. Start and ru n the engine for three to four minut es
w ith the gea r range selector in the park pos itio n.
Al low the engine to achieve a normal idle speed .
4. Wh ilst sitting in the drivi ng seat, firmly apply the
footbrake and m ove the gear rang e selector through
the fu II range of gear .positions pau sing briefly in ea ch
range. Return th e selector to t he park position.
5. Immediately check the flu id level with the eng i ne
running at id le speed.
The leve l should be 25 mm ( 1 in) below the FULL
HOT mark on t he dipstick.
Top-up to this level if necessary.
6. Drive th e car for ap proximately 24 kilometres (15
miles) of hig hw ay/moto rway driving or 16 ki lomet res
(10 miles ) of city driving. This shou ld ensure the
transmission has reached normal operating
temperature.
It is essential that this temperature is attained.
Do not top-u p t he fluid level t o t he FULL HOT mark o n
the dipstic k when t he fluid i s o n ly w arm, as this will
result in an ove rflow situati o n when th e norm al
operating t emperature is attained. Overfilling w ill
result in flu id be ing discha rged from the transm ission
breathe r pipe.
Top-up if necessary, as described under t he
heading, Flu id l evel -To check and t op-up.
The t ra n sm ission sump shou ld be drained at th e
intervals specif ied in th e Serv ice Schedule M anu al TSD 4702. New fluid should be ad ded to maintain the
correct leve l on t he dipstick.
The fluid i ntake system in co rpo rates an intake
strainer. Th is st rainer should be renewed at the
intervals specified in the Se rvi ce Schedule Manua l. In
the event of a major failu re in the transmission , th e

Transmission unit- To check for leaks
Fig . T3-2
Transmission sump drain plug
Whenever the transmission has b een dismantled,
completely or pa rtially, the following procedure must
be observed t o minimise the possib ility of fluid
leakage.
1. Always fit new g askets and ' O' r ing seals.
11/ 88
T3-2
2. Use a small amount of petroleum jelly to hold a
gasket in position during assembly.
3. Do not use a sealing compound (e.g. Wellseal)
with a gasket.
4.
Ensure that the cork and paper gaskets a re not
wrinkled or creased when fitted, or have distorted
during storage.
5. Ensure that the square-sectioned 'O' rings a re
correctly fitted and a re not twisted.
6. Ensure that a 11 mating faces are clean and free
from burrs and damage.
7. Torque tighten bolts, setscrews, etc., to the torque
figures given in Section T23 and Chapter P.
8.
When examining the transmission for leaks,
determine whether the flu id originates from the
transmission or the engine. The origin a I factory fil I
flu id is red in colour, this assists in Iocating the source
of leakage. If however, the colour can not be detected
in the transmission flu id, add a red an iii ne dye
preparation to the fluid. Red dye appearing in the
lea king flu id wil I positively identify the source of the
leak.
If the flu id is known to be leaking from the
transmission, examine the following areas.
Front end
It will be necessary to remove the bell housing bottom
cover and the lower front cover plate in order to examine
the transmission for leakage at the front end.
To correct a leak at the front end, the transmission
will have to be removed from the car.
1.
If the pump oil seal is suspected of leaking fluid,
ensure that the seal has been correctly fitted and is not

Oil pressure - To check
Before attempting to ch eek the oil pressure or to road
test the car, always ensure that the level of fluid in the
transmission is correct (see Section T3).
The pressure can be checked by using an oil
pressure gauge cou pied to the main Iine tapping in
the left-hand side of the transmission case.
1. Clean any di rt from around the Ii ne pressure plug;
remove the plug.
2. Fit the adapter RH 7914 into the main Ii ne tapping;
tighten the adapter.
3. Screw a pressure gauge, capable of reading
between O bar and 20,6 bar 10 Ibf/in' and 300 lbf/i n')
onto the adapter. Then, position the gauge so that it
can be seen from the driver's seat.
4. Connect a tachometer to the engine; th is wil I
enable the gear change points to be positively
identified.
5. Drive the car u nti I the transmission has reached
normal operating temperature 77°C (170°F).
6. Check the flu id level, top-up if necessary.
Road testing the car
The following checks should be carried out during
road testing.
Engine idle pressure check
1. Select D range. Drive the car at approximately 48
km/h (30 mi le/h) with the throttle eased back. The Iine
pressure should be 4,8 bar (70 lbfiin').
2. Select I range. Drive the car to obtain a steady
road speed of 40 km/h (25 mile/h). Line pressure
shou Id be between 10,0 bar and 10, 7 bar ( 145 Ibf/in'
and 155 Ibf/in').
Full throttle pressure check
1. Jack up the rear of the car and position blocks so
that the rear wheels are clear of the ground.
2. Disconnect the vacuum Ii ne at the induction
manifold.
3. Blank off the orifice in them an ifold.
4. Run the engine at fast-idle (between 800 revlmin
and 1000 rev/min) in neutra I. The oi I pressure should
be 10,0 bar ( 145 Ibf/in').
5. Repeat the procedure in reverse. Reverse
TSD 4700
T4-1
pressure should be between 10,0 bar and 10,7 bar
( 145 Ibf/in 2 and 155 lbf/in').
6. Connect the vacuum pipe.
Towing
The car must not be towed if any mechanical damage
to the transmission components is suspected, or if
the torque converter transmission fluid level is low.
Before towing, check the fluid level in the
transmission. The Ieve I must be above the FU LL HOT
mark on the dipstick when the engine is not running.
Should it be necessary to tow the car, even for a
short distance, a solid tow bar must be used. This is
important, as without the engine running to maintain
th.e pressure in the hyd rau Iic systems, the efficiency
of the braking systems is reduced.
If the pressure in the hydraulic systems has been
exhausted by operating the footbrake pedal without
the engine running, the footbra ke would not stop the
car. If a solid tow bar is not avai Iable, the car must be
transported.
Always tow the car with the torque converter
transmission in neutral.
To select neutral it is first necessary to turn the
ignition key in the switch box to the RUN position.
Providing that the battery is in a charged condition,
this action will energize the gearchange actuator
mechanism and neutral can then be selected by
operating the gear range selector lever. Should the
battery be in a discharged condition however, turning
the ignition key will not energize the gearchange
mechanism and operating the gear range selector
lever therefore wil I not activate the actuator
mechanism. In this event, it will not be possible to
move the transmission out of the park position and it
will be necessary to disconnect the gearchange
actuator Iinkage at the manual shaft lever. Then,
before the car can be towed or transported, engage
neutral by moving the ma nu al shaft lever two
positions rearwards from the fully forward position.
Normally, when the ignition key is removed from
the switch box, park position is automatically engaged
and the parking pawl locks the transmission. If it is
required to remove the ignition key and sti II leave the
car in neutral for towing, this can be accomplished by
first removing the gearchange fuse (fuse A6 on fuse
panel F2 on the main fuse board) and then remove the
key from the switch box.
The car shou Id only be towed for distances of up
to 80 kilometres (50 miles) and the maximum towing
speed must not exceed 56 km/h (35 mile/h). For
greater distances the propeller shaft must be
disconnected or the car transported.

Gearchange actuator
The electric gearchange actuat or (see fig. T6-1 l is
mounted on a bracket secured to the transmission
rear extension.
When the ignition is switched on and the selector
lever on the steering column is moved to one of the
gear range positions, current is allowed to flow to t he
actuator motor via a relay.
The motor rotates and turns the wormshaft
th rough the flexible cou piing. As the worm gear
rotates, the slip ring, which is secured to the worm
gear also rotates until an insulated slot in the slip ring
is aligned with the live contact . When this positio n 1s
reached, the current is cut off and the motor ceases to
rotate.
The electric actuator is wi red such that the
transmission can be locked by moving the selector
lever to the park position, with the lg nition switched
either on or off. However, to move the transmission
out of the park position, the ign ition has to be
switched on, with the battery in a charged conditi o n.
Note The actuator will also lock the transmissio n
when the ignition key is removed from the
switch box.
Gearchange electric actuator - To remove
It is recommended that the easiest and quickest
method of dealing with actuator failure, is by
substituting the faulty actuator for a service
exchange unit.

(if possible), to contain any small particles of metal.
2. Drill out the old threads and clean any particles
from the hole.
Note Drill out only to the depth of the original hole.
When drilling hole No. 4 (see fig. T21-3), the drill
may go through to the inside of the case. Located
just behind this hole are the intermediate clutch
splines. Therefore, the burrs must be removed
from the clutch splines.
3. Tap the hole with the Heli-coil tap.
4. Fit the standard insert (STl) Heli-coil.
5. Break off the tang from the bottom of the Heli-coil.

Fault diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis of transmission problems begins
with a thorough understanding of normal transmission
operation. In particular it is essential to know which
units are involved in the various gears and speeds, so
that the specific unit or fluid flow can be isolated and
investigated further.
The following sequence of tests may help to
simplify the diagnosis of defects and should be
performed first.
1. Check the fluid level.
2. Warm-up the engine and transmission to obtain
normal operating temperature, approximately 77°C
(170°f) .
3 . Check the control linkage.
4. Check the throttle position switch.
5 . Check the vacuum lines and fittings.
6 . Fit a pressure gauge and road test the car.
Note If possible, test the car with the customer as a
passenger. It is possible that the condition which
the customer requires correcting is a normal
function of the transmission, thus, unnecessary
work can be avoided.

Vacuum modulator assembly
The following procedure is recommended for checking
modulator assemblies in service before replaceme nt is
undertaken.
1. Vacuum diaphragm leak check
Check with a vacuum pump or insert a pipe cleaner into
the vacuum connector pipe as far as possible and check
for the presence ot transmission oil. If oil is found,
replace th e modulator.
Note Petrol or water vapour may settle in the vacuum
side of the modulator. If this is found without the
presence of oil. the modu lator should not be
changed.
2. Atmospheric leak check
Apply a liberal coating of soap bubble solution to the
vacuum connector pipe seam and the crimped up per to
lower hous ing seam. Using a short piece of rubber
tubing, apply air press.ure to the vacuum pipe by blowing
into the tube and observe for leak bubbles. If bubbles
appear, replace the modulator.
Note Do not use any method other than human lung
power to apply air pressure, as pressures over
0.4 bar (6 lbf/in') may damage the modulator.

on either end of the gauge.
b. Inst all the modulator in question on the opposite
end of the gauge.
c.
Holding the modulators in a horirnntal position,
bring th em together under pressure unti I either
modulator sleeve end just touches the Iine in the centre
of the gauge. The gap between the opposite modulator
sleeve end and th e gauge line should not be greater than
1,59 mm (0.062 in). If the distance is greater tha n this
amount the modulator in question should be replaced.
4. Sleeve alignment check
Roll the main body of the modulator on a flat surface and
observe the sleeve for concentricity to the body. If the
sleeve is concentric and the plunger is free, the
modu lator is acceptable. Once the modulator assembly
passes all of the above test s, it is an acceptable part and
should be fitted again.
