REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS

When replacement parts are required, it is essential that only MG Rover recommended parts are used.

Attention is particularly drawn to the following points concerning repairs and the fitting of replacement parts and accessories.

Safety features and corrosion prevention treatments embodied in the car may be impaired if other than MG Rover recommended parts are fitted. In certain territories, legislation prohibits the fitting of parts not to the manufacturer's specification. Torque wrench setting figures given in this Manual must be used. 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 travelling abroad should ensure that the accessory and its fitted location on the car conform to legal requirements.

The Terms of the vehicle Warranty may be invalidated by the fitting of other than MG Rover recommended parts.

All MG Rover recommended parts have the full backing of the vehicle Warranty.

MG Rover Dealers are obliged to supply only MG Rover recommended parts.

DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES

Modern vehicles contain many materials and liquids which if not handled with care can be hazardous to both personal health and the environment.

WARNING: Many liquids and other substances used in motor vehicles are poisonous and should under no circumstances be consumed and should, as far as possible, be kept from contact with the skin. These liquids and substances include acid, antifreeze, asbestos, brake fluid, fuel, windscreen washer additives, lubricants, refrigerant and various adhesives.

Always read carefully the instructions printed on labels or stamped on components and obey them implicitly. Such instructions are included for reasons of your health and personal safety. Never disregard them.

Synthetic rubber

Many ‘O’ rings, seals, hoses, flexible pipes and other similar items which appear to be natural rubber, are in fact made of synthetic materials called Fluoroelastomers. Under normal operating conditions this material is safe and does not present a health hazard. However, if the material is damaged by fire or excessive heating, it can break down and produce highly corrosive Hydrofluoric acid.

Contact with Hydrofluoric acid can cause serious burns on contact with skin. If skin contact does occur:

lRemove any contaminated clothing immediately.

lIrrigate affected area of skin with a copious amount of cold water or limewater for 15 to 60 minutes.

lObtain medical assistance immediately.

Should any material be in a burnt or overheated condition, handle with extreme caution and wear protective clothing (seamless industrial gloves, protective apron etc.).

Decontaminate and dispose of gloves immediately after use.

03-4

GENERAL INFORMATION

Lubricating oils

Avoid excessive skin contact with used lubricating oils and always adhere to the health protection precautions.

WARNING: Avoid excessive skin contact with used engine oil. Used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer or other serious skin disorders.

WARNING: Avoid excessive skin contact with mineral oil. Mineral oils remove the natural fats from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis.

Health Protection Precautions

The following precautions should be observed at all times:

lAvoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.

lWear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.

lDo not put oily rags in pockets.

lAvoid contaminating clothes (particularly those next to the skin) with oil.

lOveralls must be cleaned regularly. Discard heavily soiled clothing and oil impregnated footwear.

lFirst aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.

lApply barrier creams before each work period to help prevent lubricating oil from contaminating the skin.

lWash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (proprietary skin cleansers and nail brushes will help).

lUse moisturisers after cleaning; preparations containing lanolin help replace the skin‘s natural oils which have been removed.

lDo not use petrol/gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.

lWhere practicable, degrease components prior to handling.

lIf skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.

lWear eye protection (e.g. goggles or face shield) if there is a risk of eye contamination. Eye wash facilities should be provided in close vicinity of the work area.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Whenever possible, use a lift or pit when working beneath vehicle, in preference to jacking. Chock wheels as well as applying parking brake.

Jacking

Always use the recommended jacking points, the recommended jacking points are given in LIFTING

AND TOWING

Always ensure that any lifting apparatus has sufficient load capacity for the weight to be lifted.

Ensure the vehicle is standing on level ground prior to lifting or jacking.

Apply the handbrake and chock the wheels.

WARNING: Do not work on or under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always support the vehicle on safety stands.

Do not leave tools, lifting equipment, spilt oil, etc. around or on the work bench area. Always keep a clean and tidy work area.

Brake shoes and pads

WARNING: Always fit the correct grade and specification of brake linings and renew brake pads and brake shoes in axle sets only.

03-5

GENERAL INFORMATION

Brake hydraulics

Observe the following recommendations when working on the brake system:

lAlways use two spanners when loosening or tightening brake pipe or hose connections.

lEnsure that hoses run in a natural curve and are not kinked or twisted.

lFit brake pipes securely in their retaining clips and ensure that the pipe cannot contact a potential chafing point.

lContainers used for hydraulic fluid must be kept absolutely clean.

lDo not store hydraulic brake fluid in an unsealed container, it will absorb water and in this condition would be dangerous to use due to a lowering of its boiling point.

lDo not allow hydraulic brake fluid to be contaminated with mineral oil, or put new brake fluid in a container which has previously contained mineral oil.

lDo not re-use brake fluid removed from the system.

lAlways use clean brake fluid or a recommended alternative to clean hydraulic components.

lAfter disconnection of brake pipes and hoses, immediately fit suitable blanking caps or plugs to prevent the ingress of dirt.

lOnly use the correct brake fittings with compatible threads.

lAbsolute cleanliness must be observed when working with hydraulic components.

WARNING: It is imperative that the correct brake fittings are used and that threads of components are compatible.

Cooling system caps and plugs

Extreme care is necessary when removing cooling system expansion tank caps and coolant drain or bleed screws when the engine is hot, and especially if it is overheated. To avoid the possibility of scalding, allow the engine to cool before attempting coolant cap or plug removal.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS

General

This section provides general information which if observed, can help reduce environmental damage caused by activities carried out in workshops.

Emissions to air

Many of the activities that are carried out in workshops emit gases and fumes which contribute to global warming, depletion of the ozone layer and/or the formation of photochemical smog at ground level. By considering how the workshop activities are carried out, these gases and fumes can be minimised, thus reducing the impact on the environment.

Exhaust fumes

Running car engines is an essential part of workshop activities and exhaust fumes need to be ventilated to atmosphere. However, the amount of time engines are running and the position of the vehicle should be carefully considered at all times, to reduce the release of poisonous gases and minimise the inconvenience to people living nearby.

Solvents

Some of the cleaning agents used are solvent based and will evaporate to atmosphere if used carelessly, or if cans are left unsealed. All solvent containers should be firmly closed when not being used and solvent should be used sparingly. Suitable alternative methods may be available to replace some of the commonly used solvents. Similarly, many paints are solvent based and the spray should be minimised to reduce solvent emissions.

Refrigerant

It is illegal to release any refrigerants into the atmosphere. Discharge and replacement of these materials from air conditioning units should only be carried out using the correct equipment.

Checklist

Always adhere to the following:

Engines:

lDon‘t leave engines running unnecessarily.

lMinimise testing times and check where the exhaust fumes are being blown.

Materials:

lKeep lids on containers of solvents.

lOnly use the minimum quantity.

lConsider alternative materials.

lMinimise over-spray when painting.
