INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this manual is to assist skilled mechanics in the efficient repair and maintenance of British Leyland
vehicles. Using the appropriate service tools and carrying out the procedures as detailed will enable the operations to be
completed in the time stated in the 'Repair Operation Times'.
Indexing
For convenience, the manual is divided into a number of divisions.Page 01.3 lists the titles and reference number of the
various divisions.
A list of the operations within each division appears in alphabetical order on the page preceding each division.
Operation Numbering
A master index of numbered operations has been compiled for universal application to all vehicles manufactured by the
British Leyland Motor Corporation and, therefore, because of the different specifications of various models, continuity of the
numbering sequence cannot be maintained throughout this manual.
Each operation described in the manual is allocated a number from the master index and cross-referswith an identical
number in the 'Repair Operation Times'. The number consists of six digits arranged in three pairs.
Each instruction within an operation has a sequence number and, to complete the operation in the minimum time, it is
essential that the instructions are performed in numerical sequence commencing at
1
unless otherwise stated. Where
applicable, the sequence numbers identify the relevant components in .theappropriate illustration.
EmissionControl Equipment
With the exception of Section
17,
all remaining sections of this manual relate to basic vehicles not fitted with emission
control equipment. Where an operation is affected by the presence of this equipment, refer also to Emission Control (Section
17).
ServiceTools
Where performance of an operation requires the use of a service tool, the tool number is quoted under the operation
heading and is repeated in, or following, the instruction involving its use. An illustrated list of all necessary tools is included in
section

REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS
When service parts are required it is essential that only genuine British Leyland Stanpart or Unipart replacements are
used. Attention is particularly drawn to the following points concerning repairs and the fitting of replacement parts and
accessories.
Safety features embodied in the car may be impaired if other than genuine parts are fitted. In certain territories,
legislation prohibits the fitting of parts not to the vehicle manufacturer's specification. Torque wrench setting figures
given in the Repair Operation Manual must be strictly adhered to. Locking devices,where specified, must be fitted. If
the efficiency of a locking device is impaired during removal it must be renewed. Owners purchasing accessories while
travellingabroad should ensure that the accessory and its fitted location on the car conform to mandatory requirements
in their country of origin
The car warranty may be invalidated by the fitting of other than genuine British Leyland parts. All British Leyland
Stanpart or Unipart replacements have the full backing of the factory warranty.
British Leyland Distributors and Dealers are obliged to supply only genuine service parts.
