• 1 This Chapter is designed to help the home mechanic maintain his/her vehicle for safety, economy, long life and peak performance. 2 This Chapter contains a master maintenance schedule, followed by Sections dealing specifically with each task in the schedule. Visual checks, adjustments, component renewal and other helpful items are included. Refer to the accompanying illustrations of the engine compartment and the underside of the vehicle for the locations of the various components. 3 Servicing your vehicle in accordance with the mileage/time maintenance schedule and the following Sections will provide a planned maintenance programme, which should result in a long and reliable service life.
• This is a comprehensive plan, so maintaining some items but not others at the specified service intervals will not produce the same results. 4 As you service your vehicle, you will discover that many of the procedures can – and should – be grouped together, because of the particular procedure being performed, or because of the close proximity of two otherwise-unrelated components to one another. For example, if the vehicle is raised for any reason, the exhaust should be inspected at the same time as the suspension and steering components.
• 5 The first step of this maintenance programme is to prepare yourself before the actual work begins. Read through all the Sections relevant to the work to be carried out, then make a list and gather together all the parts and tools required. If a problem is encountered, seek advice from a parts specialist or a dealer service department. 2 Intensive maintenance 1 If, from the time the vehicle is new, the routine maintenance schedule is followed closely, and frequent checks are made of fluid levels and high-wear items, as suggested throughout this manual, the engine will be kept in relatively good running condition, and the need for additional work will be minimised.
• 2 It is possible that there will be some times when the engine is running poorly due to the lack of regular maintenance. This is even more likely if a used vehicle, which has not received regular and frequent maintenance checks, is purchased. In such cases, additional work may need to be carried out, outside of the regular maintenance intervals. 3 If engine wear is suspected, a compression test (refer to Chapter 2A) will provide valuable information regarding the overall performance of the main internal components. Such a test can be used as a basis to decide on the extent of the work to be carried out.
• If, for example, a compression test indicates serious internal engine wear, conventional maintenance as described in this Chapter will not greatly improve the performance of the engine, and may prove a waste of time and money, unless extensive overhaul work (Chapter 2B) is carried out first. 4 The following series of operations are those often required to improve the performance of a generally poor-running engine: Primary operations a) Clean, inspect and test the battery (See “Weekly checks”). b) Check all the engine-related fluids (See “Weekly checks”).
• c) Check and if necessary adjust the valve clearances (Section 31). d) Check the condition of the fan belt (Section 8). e) Top up the carburettor piston damper (Section 19) f) Check the condition and adjustment of the contact breaker points (Section 20). g) Inspect the distributor cap, rotor arm and HT leads (Section 32). h) Renew the spark plugs (Section 33). i) Check and if necessary adjust the ignition timing (Section 25). j) Check the condition of the air cleaner filter element and renew if necessary (Section 30). k) Check and if necessary adjust the carburettor idle speed and mixture settings (Section 26)
• . l) Renew the fuel filter – fuel injection models (Section 37). m)Check the condition of all hoses, and check for fluid leaks (Section 18). 5 If the above operations do not prove fully effective, carry out the following operations: Secondary operations All the items listed under “Primary operations”, plus the following: a) Check the charging system (Chapter 5A). b) Check the ignition system (Chapter 5B). c) Check the fuel system (Chapter 4A and B). d) Renew the distributor cap and rotor arm (Section 32). e) Renew the ignition HT leads (Section 32).
