The interior of the car can be heated by the engine
warmed air being ducted into the front compartment and
controlled by a lever on the heating system tunnel.
Engine ignition is bya battery, ignition coil and distribu-
tor which is driven by a gear on the camshaft. The engine
is started by an electric starter motor which is mounted on
the gearbox casing and is controlled by a lever located
behind the gearchange lever.
The complete power unit is mounted bya spring support
at the centre of the rear body crossmember and by two
rubber pads mounted laterally to the gearbox.
1 :2 Engine removal (sedan—all versions)
To remove the engine from the car proceed as follows:
Raise the rear of the car and place on firmly based
stands placed under suitable brackets on the underside
of the body.
Disconnect the battery positive terminal clamp from the
battery terminal post. Release the clip securing the main
petrol pipe to the tank sender unit and ease the pipe
from the unit. Drain the oil from the engine sump into
a suitably sized container.
Disconnect the rear number plate light wire (see
FIG 1 :6). Release the engine compartment lid check
strap from its slot and separate the lid from the body by
sliding the hinge apart.
Remove the cables attached to the ignition coil, also
to the generator and the starter motor. Remove the
starter motor control tie rod. Release the oil pressure
indicator cable, the main petrol pipeline at the pump,
the accelerator and starting device controls.
Remove the two hoses of the heating and cooling
system which are the input hose to the blower and the
hose for the car heating system. Release and lift out the
engine apron. Remove the starter motor mounting bolts
and carefully lift away the motor.
Using a garage hydraulic jack with suitable cradle (see
FIG 1:7) or a rope sling relieve the engine weight
from its mountings. Remove the nuts securing the
gearbox to the engine and the flywheel protection
apron.
Remove the bolts fixing the elastic support to the cross-
member. Remove the rear crossmember mounting nuts
noting that the engine earth cable is held by one
mounting nut and lift away the crossmember.
Carefully ease the engine away from the gearbox
ensuring that there is no strain placed on the clutch
shaft. Lower the engine to the floor taking care that no
weight is allowed on any of the attachments.
