Note: The engine can be removed from the
car only as a complete unit with the
transmission; the two are then separated for
overhaul. The engine/transmission are
removed upwards and out from the top of
engine compartment.
Removal
1 Extract the retaining clips and release the
support struts from the bonnet. Tie the bonnet
back in the fully-open position.
2 Drain the cooling system, the engine oil,
and the transmission oil or fluid as described
in Chapter 1.
3 Remove the complete air cleaner and intake
trunking assembly, as described in Chapter 4
Part D.
4 Remove the battery as described in
Chapter 5, then undo the three bolts and
remove the battery tray.
5 Refer to Chapter 3 and remove the radiator.
6 Disconnect the accelerator cable at the
throttle end (Chapter 4 Part D). Release the
cable from its support clips and move it clear.
7 Disconnect the HT lead at the ignition coil.
8 Undo the two through-bolts securing the
engine rear tie-bar to the engine and body
brackets, and recover the special forked nut.
Note that the forked end of the nut engages
with a bracket projection to prevent the nut
turning. Withdraw the tie-bar from its
brackets.
9 Undo the brake servo vacuum hose banjo
union bolt at the inlet manifold, and recover
the two copper washers.
10 Slacken the clips and disconnect the
coolant hoses at the thermostat housing (see
illustration). Disconnect the two heater hoses
from their connections on the side of the
engine. Disconnect any remaining coolant
hoses from the engine and move them clear.
11 Undo the bolt and disconnect the earth
lead on the front engine side cover.
12 Disconnect the multiplugs and release the
harness from the clips on and around the
dipstick tube.
13 Remove the cover from the fuse and relay
box on the left-hand side of the engine
compartment, then lift off the cover over the
fusible links.
14 Lift out the engine harness cable retaining
clip, undo the cable retaining screw, and
remove the cable from the fuse and relay box
(see illustrations).
15 Disconnect the two engine wiring harness
wiring multiplugs located in a bracket below
the battery tray.
16 Disconnect the battery lead at the starter
motor.
17 Disconnect the engine earth lead on the
transmission casing.
18 Check that all the vacuum hoses at the
pipe cluster are numbered with corresponding
numbers on their respective pipe stubs. Mark
any as necessary, then disconnect all the
hoses from the pipe cluster stubs.
19 Disconnect the cruise control vacuum
hose and release the hose from the engine
clips.
20 Check that all remaining vacuum hoses
likely to impede removal of the engine have
been removed.
21 Disconnect the hose at the charcoal
canister (where fitted).
22 Disconnect the hose at the diverter valve
(where fitted).
23 Place absorbent rags around the fuel filter
outlet banjo union bolt on the left-hand side of
the filter, then slowly unscrew the bleed screw
in the centre of the bolt, to relieve the fuel
system pressure. When the pressure is
released, remove the bolt and recover the two
copper washers. Tighten the bleed screw
where fitted.
24 Release the clip and disconnect the fuel
return hose from the pipe below the fuel filter
(see illustration). Plug or tape over the
disconnected fuel hoses and unions.
25 Separate the engine wiring harness from
the main wiring harness by disconnecting the
three large round wiring multiplugs located at
the rear right-hand side of the engine
compartment (see illustration). Release the
harness from the support bracket and move it
clear.
26 Wipe clean the area around the pipe and
hose unions on the top of the power steering
pump. Place absorbent rags around the
unions.
27 Undo the two bolts securing the high
pressure pipe connector, lift off the connector
and recover the O-ring.
28 Slacken the hose clip, then disconnect the
return hose from the pump. Plug or tape over
the disconnected unions to prevent dirt entry.
29 Release the hoses from the support
brackets and move them clear.

release the mountings. Move the compressor
to one side.
