VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is stamped on a plate fixed to the right or left hand front wheelarch inside the front luggage compartment. This number is repeated on the right hand side of the chassis front frame, visible from within the right hand front wheelarch.

VIN Plate on wheelarch VIN stamped on chassis

This number, together with the engine number (see TDA or TDB) should be quoted in all enquiries regarding the vehicle.

There are two variations of the VIN, one being for Domestic and export markets other than for the USA, which complies with European Economic Community (EEC) directives, and one for the USA which complies with requirements laid down by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA).

The seventeen characters of the VIN are coded as follows:

NOTES

  1. USA VIN character 6:
501 = Basic Elite 521 = Basic Eclat 701 = Basic Esprit
502 = Elite A/C 522 = Eclat A/C 702 = Esprit A/C
503 = Elite A/C & PAS 523 = Eclat A/C & PAS 701 Comm = Esprit Commemerative
504 = Elite Auto 524 = Eclat Auto 702 Comm = Esprit Comm. A/C
A/C & PAS A/C & PAS 
  1. Seperate serial number sequences are used for the following groups of chassis market (character 12);
D
A,E,G,H,S
B,C,F,K 
  1. For change point identification in Service Notes, Parts Lists and Service Bulletins, the following VIN characters ONLY will be quoted;
Domestic & Export - 5,6,12,14 to 17
USA - 4,12,14 to 17 

Example A typical change point could be listed as follows;

82 D 1100 (Domestic Turbo 1100)

82 A/E/G/H/S 0341 (Export Turbo 0341)

F B/C/F/K 0265 (USA Turbo 0265)

Note that three numbers are needed to identify the single change point due to the different serial number sequences outlined in note 2.

If a dash is used in place of the chassis market letter code (e.g.

82 - 0341 or F - 0265), this is the change point for all markets in that serial number sequence not otherwise listed.

Before commencing work on any Lotus engine, first check the engine number and prefix letters to establish the engine specification. This number is stamped on the right hand rear of the cylinder block, above the starter motor, and is duplicated on the vehicle identification plate fixed to either the right or left hand inner wheelarch under the front bonnet.

Example

| Category | Value | |---|---| | Basic engine build specification | 907 | | Where applicable Engine equipment variation | 76 | | Engine type 907-2 litre, 912-2.2 litre | 06 | | Year of manufacture | 12844 | | Month of manufacture (01 to 12) Serial number (earlier engines only 4 digit) | 12844 |

For the purpose of clarification in the TECHNICAL DATA SECTION ONLY, a specification number is allocated to various specifications as listed below. In some countries, prefix letters may differ from those listed, in which case reference should be made to the Lotus Distributor of that country for the relevant specification.

Wet Sump Introduction

From 1980 until late 1981/early 1982, all Turbo Esprit engines (type 910) were built with a 'dry sump' lubrication system. Cars not fitted with air conditioning were changed to a 'wet sump' configuration in late 1981, followed by air conditioned cars in early 1982.

Wet sump introductory VIN's are as follows:

Domestic heater 82D1193

Domestic air conditioning 82D1261

ROW (air conditioning) 82 A/E/G/H/S 0399

All Federal cars are wet sump.

15" Tyre Replacement

Cars 1985 Model Year onwards: Goodyear 'NCT' tyres of a new specification were introduced on 1985 Model Year Esprit S3 and Turbo models, together with a revised front suspension. For 1985 M.Y. and later models it is essential that ONLY either the new specification Goodyear 'NCT' tyres or Goodyear 'Eagle NCT' tyres are fitted. These two tyres differ in name only and may be safely mixed, but tyres made to the pre '85 specification should not be used. For identification of tyre specification see below.

Tyre Pressures- front1.45 bar(21 lb/in 2 )
- rear1.70 bar(25 lb/in 2 )
- spare2.05 bar(30 lb/in 2 )

Cars Prior to 1985 Model Year: If tyres to the pre '85 specification are not available, the later type Goodyear 'NCT' or 'Eagle NCT' may be used but only in axle sets, and with the tyre pressures of only the later spec. tyres increased as below.

The paint procedure contained in this section is based on that used in the manufacture of Lotus Cars and commences with the bare composite bodyshell. It is included here only for general guidance in repair work, and it should be noted that different oven temperatures and thinners may be necessary dependant on the level of trim of the body, and type of oven etc..

BA 1 - PAINT CODES

Before commencing any paint work on a Lotus car, first check the paint code number stamped on the lower left hand corner of the vehicle identification plate under the front bonnet.

Paint codes with an 'I.' prefix indicate nitro-cellulose paint for which two suppliers reference numbers are sometimes quoted - International Paint (formerly Pinchin and Johnson) and ICI.

'A' prefix paint codes are used for cars finished in ICI 2K two pack acrylic polyurethane paints of the P420/421/422 line.

'S' prefix paint codes were used for a short period only (1976/77) and indicate that the body was moulded with integral colour using ICI 2K two pack polyurethane paint of the P407 line. These cars may be repaired using ICI P030 line nitro-cellulose.

ICI Paint Reference Number

ICI paint reference number prefix groups indicate the following paint types.

P 030Mono colour nitro-cellulose
P 031Metallic nitro cellulose
P 4072 pack acrylic polyurethane
P 420Mono colour 2 pack acrylic polyurethane
P 421Metallic 2 pack acrylic polyurethane

BA 2 - ESSENTIAL WORKING PRACTICE

1. Caution

Autocolour 2K hardener P210-760 (used with all ICI two pack acrylic-polyurethane systems) contains reactive isocyanate, a small portion of which is volatile. Vapour should not be allowed to accumulate in a confined or badly ventilated space. The spray mist is harmful by inhalation and contact with skin and eyes.

Autocolour 2K should only be used in a well ventilated area, preferably a suitable spray booth with efficient exhaust ventilation. Spray operators should wear air line breathing apparatus to BS4467 Part 3, maintained according to BS4275. People entering the spraying area for short periods (up to 15 mins) should wear a respirator to BS2091 with type CC canister.

Before spraying AutoColour 2K, operators should refer to ICI Health and Safety Information Sheet PV1. Store thinners in accordance with the Petroleum (Consolidation) Act 1928 and the Petroleum Mixtures Order 1929; and in a cool place. Store paint, hardener and clearcoat in accordance with the Highly Inflammable Liquids and Liquified Petroleum Gas Regulations 1972. Use only a non-smoking area, and away from all sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. In case of fire, use foam or dry agent extinguishers. Contain any spillage with sand or earth. Do not allow to enter a drain or water course.

  1. All air used for spraying or blow down should be filtered before use.
  2. All precautions should be taken to ensure there is no oil or water contamination in the paint containers and air supply lines.
  3. A high standard of cleanliness must be maintained with all spray equipment, frequent cleaning of guns and the surrounding area and booth is necessary.

  4. Oven temperatures, and temperatures in the spray booth, Tak Rag booth and main working areas should be checked daily, and periodic measurements of panel temperature carried out.

  5. It is absolutely essential that any surface to be sprayed is absolutely clean, dry and free from dust or sludge.
  6. After any and each surface covering treatment including P38 filler, cellulose stopper, polyurethane primer, primer/surfacer, colour paint and clear laquer, it is essential that these be fully cured using a bank of infra red lights giving a 60°C panel temperature for the duration specified for the operation. This then must be allowed to air cool before further work.
  7. Polyurethane primer must not be sprayed on top of a colour coat and left to form a sandwich of paint/primer/paint.

BA 3 - BODY AND COMPONENT PREPARATION FOR PRIMER COATING

  1. Dry flat the entire surface area using 240 grade paper (Carborundum type) to ensure that there is no trace of wax or gloss. The operation is a cleaning process in order to provide a suitable surface for painting. The flattening is for the removal of protrusions and must present a completely scrubbed surface to key the polyurethane. Flattling should be carried out with an orbital sander on flat surfaces and a flat pad in more restricted areas. During this operation all distortions must be removed. Extra care is necessary to avoid gel coat rub through on sharp corners.
  2. Enter the body stoving oven. Stove cure to give a panel temperature of 100°C (210°F) for a minimum of 10 minutes. Ensure that the external oven temperature gauge reads 93°C (200°F) minimum before body entry and close the oven door immediately after body entry.

  3. Exit oven and allow to air cool. While the mouldings are still warm prick out and mark all defects. When cool rectify the defects with P38 filler. Dry rub down with 80 grade paper (Carborundum) confining flattening to the rectified surface only. Dry flat the entire area with 240 grade paper (Carborundum). Before polyurethane primer spraying the car must be thoroughly vacuum cleaned and all foreign bodies must be removed.

BA 4 - BODY AND COMPONENT POLYURETHANE PRIMER

  1. Ensure that the body and components are fully vacuum cleaned. Enter the Tak Rag booth and thoroughly solvent wipe the entire car and component surfaces to be painted. The solvent to be used is Flowline Wax and Grease Remover.

Ensure that new cloths of woven material are used and that they are changed frequently during use so as to ensure surface cleanliness, remove all traces of rubbing down sludge.

  1. Thoroughly Tak Rag all surfaces that are to be painted to remove all traces of dust.

  2. Spray one straight coat and one cross coat of polyurethane mixed as below:-

P.U. PrimerA075B612425 parts by volume
P.U. CatalystX036B61375 parts by volume
P.U. RetarderA075B61722 parts by volume

Thin to 45 seconds B.S.4. Cup at 18-20°C (64-68°F) using thinner A075B6125. Spray using a Binks Bullows pressure pot gun with material nozzle 2059, needle 59 and pressure cap 63 PB.

Allow to flash off for 10 minutes at 21°C (70°F).

Wet film thickness 6 thou.

  1. Enter the curing oven for a minimum of 20 minutes at 88°C (190°F) panel temperature. Exit oven and allow to air cool.

  2. Inspect and rectify any further surface defects with P38 filler. Dry flat the filler with a flat pad of 80 grade paper (Carborundum) confine this to the filled area only. Finally dry flat the entire polyurethane surface with 240 grade paper to provide a scrubbed surface for the second pass of polyurethane. Where possible the primer coat should remain unbroken, rub throughs being kept to a minimum.

  3. Loosen dust using an airline and thoroughly vacuum clean to remove all dust from the inside and outside of the body and its components. Enter the booth and Tak Rag the body and components fully removing all traces of dust and sludge from the surfaces to be sprayed.

  4. Immediately after the Tak Rag operation enter the spray booth and spray one straight coat and one cross coat of grey polyurethane primer mixed as below:-

P.U. Primer A075B6124 25 parts by volume

P.U. Catalyst X036B6137 5 parts by volume

P.U. Retarder A075B6172 2 parts by volume

Thin to 45 seconds BS 4 Cup at 18-20°C (64-68°F) using P.U.Thinner A075B6125. Spray using a Binks Bullows pressure pot gun with material nozzle 2059, needle 59 and pressure cap 63PB.

Wet film thickness 6 thou.

Allow to flash off for a minimum of 10 minutes at 21°C (70°F).

  1. Transfer the body and components into the curing oven for a minimum of 20 minutes at 88°C (190°F) panel temperature.

Exit oven and allow to air cool.

SECTION BA

  1. Wet flat with hand blocks using 360 grade paper (Carborundum) removing all traces of orange peel. Do not rub through the polyurethane as this will mean a recycle of the body or component. The wet flattening medium should be 1/8 pint of Finadet No. 1 to 2 gallons clean water for this operation. This solution should be changed frequently so as to avoid sludge contamination.

  2. Wash off all rubbing sludge using clear running water (hose and brush). Do not allow sludge to dry on the body surface as this will seriously impair intercoat adhesion.

  3. The final wash down must be carried out with de-ionised water. Dry off thoroughly.

  4. Before colour coating it is essential that the body and components have a properly cured, smooth, unbroken and clean polyurethane surface, and that they are kept dry, under cover, and out of direct rainfall.

BA 5 - BODY & COMPONENT PREPARATION FOR COLOUR COATING

  1. Thoroughly vacuum the inside and outside of the body and its components. Ensure that the body and all components are completely dry before entering the Tak Rag Booth.

  2. Enter the Tak Rag booth and solvent wipe the entire surface to be painted using Flowline Wax and Grease Remover. Remove the solvent with clean woven cloth and give all surfaces a thorough Tak Rag to remove dust.

BA 6 - BODY & COMPONENT NITRO-CELLULOSE COLOUR COAT

BA 9 BODY & COMPONENT INTERCOAT RECTIFICATION PROCEDURES

  1. For small area rectification problems remove the gloss from the area to be filled using 400 grade paper (3M) wet. Dry thoroughly and apply cellulose stopper A036B6327. This must be left for a minimum period of 30 minutes at shop temperature 16°C (60°F). Wet flat using a block and 400 grade paper (3M). Confine flattening to the rectification and immediate surroundings only. Flattling medium is 1/4 pint Finadet No. 1 to 2 gallons clean water.

  2. Larger defects must be filled using P38 filler X036B6203. P 38 must never be used to fill on top of colour coats. Remove the defect and surrounding area of colour coats using 240 grade paper (3M) wet. Dry thoroughly, mix filler and hardener and apply to the defect. Allow the filler to gel and become hard to the touch (10-15 minutes). Apply infrared lamps to cure the filler for 30 minutes at 24 inches from the panel surface. When cool wet flat the repaired area using 240 grade paper (3M) and small hand blocks. Confine flattening to the filled area only. Flattling medium is 1/4 pint Finadet No. 1 to 2 gallons clean water.

  3. Gel crack defects, where possible should be returned to the body preparation area. If gel cracks become apparent after the first colour paint pass in the paint shop, the following procedure must be adopted. The crack mark and an area of 1/2 inch surrounding the mark must be removed with a router down to the base of the gel coat. With an airline blow out dust traces and check that no dust remains. Using P38 filler mixed with hardener fill the defect. Allow the filler to gel and become hard to the touch (10-15 minutes).

Apply infra red lamps to cure the filler for 30 minutes at 24 inches from the panel surface. When cool wet flat the repaired area using 240 grade paper (3M) and small hand blocks. Confine flattening to the filled areas only. Flattling medium is 1/4 pint Finadet No. 1 to 2 gallons clean water.

  1. Thoroughly dry the body and components after filler/stopper rectification and solvent wipe the rectified areas using Flowline Wax and Grease Remover. Tak Rag these areas to remove all traces of dust.

  2. Mix polyurethane primer as below:-

  1. Apply infra red lamps to cure the rectified area for 30 minutes at 24 inches from the panel surface. Allow to cool and wet flat using 400 grade paper (3M). Use 1/4 pint Finadet No. 1 to 2 gallons clean water, change this solution frequently to avoid sludge contamination. All flattening must be done in a fore and aft direction using hand held blocks. Care must be taken to avoid rubbing through either the colour film or the polyurethane repair.

  2. Wash off with clean water (hose and brush) and remove all traces of rubbing sludge. Dry thoroughly inside and out and ensure that all traces of water is removed from all fixtures and bobbins as this will cause blistering on the 2nd colour pass. Thoroughly vacuum both inside and outside of the car and components before colour coating.

BA 10 - NITRO-CELLULOSE PAINT RECTIFICATION

A. Orange Peel or scratches caused by compounding

If these defects are heavy they should be removed by wet flattting using 1200 grade paper (3M). Flattling medium is 1/4 pint Finadet No. 1 to 2 gallons of clean water. Always flat in a fore and aft direction. Thoroughly wash down the flatted surface using running water (hose and brush) removing all traces of rubbing sludge and dust. When completely dry using ICI 2B rubbing compound machine polish the panels. Keep the polishing mop moist and do not allow the compound to dry on the mop as scratching may result. Clean the mops frequently, where possible the mop should be moved in a fore and aft direction. Using a clean dry mop lightly buff to complete.

Continue polishing the panel using 'T-cut'. Using a fresh polishing mop again keeping the mop moist and moving in a fore and aft direction. Finally hand polish the car using clean cloths and Mirrorglaze MGM8 polish.

B. Scars or sinkages

Normally these can be dealt with using the flat and polish procedures detailed in 'A' above. If they are heavy however, the sunken surface must br brought up to the level of the surrounding paintwork with cellulose stopper. Remove the gloss from the defect using 400 grade paper (3M) hand flatting.

B. Scars or sinkages cont....

Ensure the area is dust free and screed the defect with cellulose stopper A036B6327. Allow to cure under infrared heating at 24 inches from the surface at a panel temperature of 60°C , (140°F) for 30 minutes. Allow to air cool and wet flat using soap lubricant, hand block with 400 grade paper (3M). Blow in the rectified area with primer surfacer 22 A036B6396 to bring the defect surface level up to that of the surrounding paintwork.

BB 1 - LOTUS COMPOSITE BODY FEATURES

(Owners Handbook Extract)

Lotus Cars Limited are acknowledged leaders in the field of composite moulding design and manufacturing techniques, having developed methods which are now used under license throughout the world.

These brief notes introduce some features of the construction and service properties of composites as applied to vehicle bodies.

Composite materials have major advantages for specialist vehicle bodies;-

Composites will not corrode. The strength of composite components is retained regardless of age, unless physical damage is sustained.

The Manufacturing process enables the thickness of composite mouldings to be varied throughout the bodyshell and components to provide efficient structures, of high strength and low weight.

The passenger compartment in all Lotus models is enclosed by protective structural beams, built into the bodyshell and doors which combine to provide maximum occupant protection.

Composites have the ability to absorb high impact loads by progressive collapse and impact damage is localised. In accident situations this protects occupants from injurious shock loads and greatly reduces the danger of entrapment by deformation of body panels, or jammed doors. This behaviour also facilitates repair by integrating replacement body sections with the undamaged part, using recognised approved methods which will restore the body to original condition without residual strain or distortion.

SECTION BB

The outer surface of a composite panel is sealed by a thin layer of 'gel coat'. If the panel is deflected beyond its limits of flexibility the gel coat will be overstressed and cracks will result, although the panel will return to its original shape.

A steel panel similarly treated would become permanently dented.

The cracking may be confined to the surface gel coat, with no reduction in panel strength, but if damage is more severe the composite structure below the gel coat may be weakened.

Localised repairs can be made in either case. Gel cracks may not appear immediately after overstressing because the effect can be masked by the flexibility of the paint finish which covers the gel coat. In some instances gel cracks can take as long as three months to appear.

Gel cracks can be caused by, for example:-

Sitting or leaning heavily on the bonnet or any other flexible panel.

Knocking doors against obstructions when opening.

Dropping a sharp or heavy object on a panel.

Allowing unsecured items to slide about in the boot (trunk).

Closing bonnet (hood) or boot (trunk) onto projecting objects, e.g. luggage or tools.

Attempting to deflect or remove, by force, parts attached to composite panels e.g. mirrors, locks, aerial etc., (action by vandals or even some mechanical car washes).

Incorrect jacking.

Collision with heavy rigid object.

Note that bumpers are sacrificial members which will absorb shock loads, thus protecting body panels. Exceeding bumper load factor may cause gel crazing of body panels.

BB 2 - BODYCARE

(Owners Handbook Extract)

The finish of your Lotus is extremely resistant to all normal forms of atmospheric attack. Provided the simple maintenance procedure summarised below is followed, it will retain its gloss, colour and protective properties throughout the life of the vehicle.

However, car finishes are not chemically resistant. Severe local contamination of an acid or an alkaline character can occur. If it is left in contact with the paint film for any length of time, it may cause pitting and colour change.

Washing

Many contaminants which will attack a paint film are water soluble. They will be removed before any harm occurs by thorough washing with plenty of water, to which is added a few drops of liquid detergent. Frequent washing is the best safeguard against unseen contaminants; at the same time ensuring the regular removal of dirt, dust and traffic film.

If washing with cold water is not effective, warm water and detergent will remove the gummy deposits exuded by some trees in the summer months. Petrol or white spirit will remove stains of the tar, bitumen and grease type.

Polishing

Eventually some loss of gloss, and an accumulation of traffic film, will occur. At this stage, after the normal washing, a polish with a good quality liquid polish will restore the original lustre of the paint film.

Higher gloss of the paint film, and added protection against contamination, can be obtained by wax polishing. But it must be remembered that a wax polish can only be used successfully on a clean surface, and that the previous application must first be removed with white spirit or a liquid polish cleaner before re-waxing.

SECTION BB

Ventilation

Water lying on the paint surface for lengthy periods will penetrate the paint film. Although the effects will not be visible immediately, this will in fact cause a deterioration in the protective properties of the paint film.

If a car is garaged, good ventilation must be provided. Otherwise storage outside on a hard standing or under a carport is preferable.

Summary

  1. Wash frequently, using cold water with a few drops of liquid detergent added.
  2. Inspect after a normal washing, and remove any local contamination with warm water, petrol or white spirit as appropriate.
  3. Use a good quality liquid polish infrequently - say, twice a year - to restore high gloss and to remove accumulated traffic film and scum.
  4. Park on a hard standing, and under conditions of good ventilation if a covered area is used.

Windscreen

When washing the windscreen, the wiper blade may only be lifted away from the screen a small distance, to avoid damaging the pantograph mechanism. Wash the wiper blade with clean water.

Bright Metal

The attractive appearance of bright metal can be preserved if it is cleaned regularly.

Each week wash with a soap and water solution, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry off. For further protection, apply a good quality wax polish.

Alloy Wheels

It is recommended that these are washed with the preparation as is used to wash the bodywork. Use a brush having nylon bristles only. During the winter months, particularly when salt has been used on the roads for the dispersal of snow and ice, remove all wheels, including spare, and wash thoroughly to remove all accumulated road filth from wheels and tyres.

Upholstery and roof lining

Normal cleaning consists of an occasional light wipe over with a cloth dampened in a mild soap and water solution; it is important that the cloth is only dampened, not soaked.

Leather Upholstery

The leather should be wiped over occasionally with a cloth dampened in warm soapy water. Repeat the operation using a fresh cloth and water only - avoid flooding the leather - finish by drying and polishing with a soft dry cloth.

It is important to use a mild, non caustic soap of the toilet kind (or 'Lux' soap flakes) and to avoid the use of petrol or detergents, furniture creams and polishes.

An occasional use of Cee Bee Hide Food is recommended after the leather has been in use for a year or two.

Seat Belts cleaning

The most suitable cleaner for seat belts is a mild soap and water solution since terylene does not absorb water to any extent and therefore will dry quite quickly.

Fluids which are harmful to terylene are those containing mineral acids and MUST NOT be used.

BB 3 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The basis of the vehicle comprises a one piece moulded composite material bodyshell which straddles a fabricated steel backbone chassis, and is bolted to it via integral alloy bobbins at several widespread mounting points.

Whilst the chassis carries all the major structural loads, the body is used to carry or transfer the remainder, and when the body and chassis are mounted together each contributes to the strength and torsional stiffness of each other. The bodyshell is moulded in two major sections, a topshell and undertray which are bonded together around the 'waistline'.

Specific properties, where required, are incorporated within the moulded sections by utilizing the high tensile and strength characteristics of the various types of fibre reinforcement used.

BB 4 - ACCIDENT DAMAGE ASSESSMENT

All damage to the body must be classed as structural. However, inside this broad classification the damaged area can be further defined as either:- a) High stressed, b) Moderate stressed, or c) Low stressed, and on that definition depends the original construction and therefore the repair method to be employed.

As a general rule there should be a bond wherever two panels touch, or wherever they close on important points. It is usually possible to check these bonds both visually and physically for fractures or breaks. Ascertain the cause of damage and the direction of impact and examine all panels or bonds which may have been affected.

A front end impact, for example, may easily cause the bonds at the bulkhead to split without the defect being easily visible.

To facilitate a closer examination it may be necessary to remove parts and components to determine the extent of the damage. When determining the size of the replacement panels to be ordered, make sure the new panels, when cut-in, will be attached to firm GFRP material; avoid badly crazed areas and badly burnt areas.

Fire damage is the most difficult to assess but generally only the obviously burnt or charred sections will need to be replaced or reinforced.

BB 5 - RESIN MIX (Accelerated Hand Lay-Up)

Resin - Part Number X036 B 6206V

Catalyst - Part Number X036 B 6344V (Butinox M50)

Mix hardener (catalyst) into the resin in the proportions of 15cc of catalyst to 1 kg (2lb) or resin. Mix ratio (1:150) For Gel coats mix 20cc of catalyst with 1 kg (2 lb) of gel.

BB 6 - BASIC BONDS AND JOINTS

Cut off the damaged portion after marking for re-positioning of the new panel. Clean and prepare both existing and new panels, removing all road filth and underseal from the existing panel. Cut the new panel to fit, lining up with the previously marked positioning lines. Mate the two parts to be joined, using packing as necessary to achieve a perfect match. Joining plates (of angled section) should be attached to the exterior of the panel with the aid of self-tapping screws. Using chopped-strand glass fibre mat of 3oz weight, together with the resin and hardener, lay-up by hand from the underside of the joint, ensuring an overlap of 3 - 4 in (8-10 cm), and leave to harden in a temperature of not less than 15°C .

SECTION BB

When the repair has fully cured (hardened), and NOT BEFORE, remove the joining plates from the exterior surface. Sand out the top exposed joint, feathering outwards from the join line, removing any old paint in the process. Fill the depression with rovings and resin, and whilst still wet, lay over a thin layer of chopped-strand mat and apply more resin and hardner (1 oz weight). Allow to dry and fully cure. Sand down and fill any imperfections with filler (Part No. A036B 6203V), and allow to dry. Finally, sand down with carborundum paper to prepare for painting.

BB 7 - HEADLAMP BOWLS AND SURROUNDS

Where severe damage to the headlamp bowl and surround has occurred it is generally found more economical to fit a replacement bowl and section. It is essential for the correct operation of the headlamp assembly that the replacement section is correctly positioned, the bowl being attached to the pivot bobbins of the new section and tested for clearance in the up-and-down position before being bonded to the car.

The bowl should be fixed in the most convenient position by taping in place before laminating in the new section. Accessibility is restricted in this area and it may be found more advantageous to work through the actual lamp unit hole.

Alternatively where a less serious impact has occurred and the lamp surround can be satisfactorily repaired without resorting to a replacement section it is recommended that a small jig be made to embrace both pivot mounting bolts of the bowl width. These can be screwed into the body bobbins serving to correctly locate them whilst providing sufficient access to bond them in and perform the desired repair.

SUPERFICIAL DEFECT REPAIRS

BB 8 - PIN HOLES OR AIR VOIDS

It is difficult to overcome air voids and pin holes when a hand lay-up repair is carried out, but, as all body components are heated to 82° C ( 180° F), the maximum service temperature, before painting, these imperfections will show up. Any air voids located in this manner can be opened up from the surface and filled with a stopper or filler.

The air voids and pin holes can be opened up using one or both of the following methods:

a) Enlarging the hole by gouging or 'picking-out'
b) Drilling or routing out, leaving a large hole with near parallel sides.

If after repairing pin holes the paint surface sinks over the repair, this may have been caused by the filler shrinking.

When cellulose paint stopper is used, overfill as this stopper has a high rate of shrinkage. Depressions in the paint surface when using a polyester stopper are usually caused by painting too soon after the repair. Therefore, before rubbing down and painting make sure the stopper has cured completely, leave for as long as possible before rubbing down. See Section BA.

BB 9 - DISTORTION OR WRINKLING

Distortion or wrinkling are usually caused by exposure to severe heat. This can cause the resin to soften slightly and in doing so give way to any inbuilt or associated stresses. In all such cases technical advice should be sought from Lotus Cars Limited.

BB 10 - SPLIT BONDS

Small splits in bonds, such as those around the door can occur and are caused mainly by excessive flexing of the panels or by vibration; these should be arrested before

SECTION BB

they can extend and become serious. The split should be peeled open a little further, roughen up the inside flange surfaces with a hacksaw blade and insert the appropriate type of bonding resin before clamping up. Clamping pressure should always be applied evenly, using a small slip of wood or metal if dimpling of the panel surface is to be avoided. Where possible, all splits should be laminated from the inside.

BB 11 - REPLACEMENT SECTIONS

Where the repair of a damaged vehicle calls for replacement sections or panels it is recommended that these be obtained direct from Lotus Cars Limited.

Standard sectional repair moulds cater for the repair of damage in any area of the body unit. These are so designed that they can be used individually or connected together for the manufacture or the required section of the body. These are also used for locating new sections correctly relative to the existing panels. These moulds are deliberately left unframed so as to accommodate slight discrepancies and have been made on a standard painted body shell to allow for average paint thickness.

Due to the material used in construction of the body unit, cases of severe damage can often be economically repaired i.e. where damage has been severe enough to destroy virtually the whole front end of the vehicle, as far as the bulkhead for instance, it is possible to graft on a new complete section.

Before cutting away the damaged parts or ordering replacement sections, the proposed method of repair, positioning of joint lines, overlaps etc., should be ascertained. Determine a method for the correct positioning of replacement sections and before cutting away damaged parts check on any prominent features from which measurements can be made and scribe these clearly on to the panels which are to be left intact. Use masking tape or chalk to define the lines on which it is

proposed to cut the panels and study these lines thoroughly to see that:-

a) any damaged or slightly damaged panel which would be useful in the aligning of another major panel will not be removed or,
b) on single skinned areas in particular the proposed outline traverses longitudinal, lateral and horizontal definition points to assist easy lining up of the new panel in all three places.

When repairs have been carried out in the vicinity of the front wheelarches, ensure the tyres do not foul the front lower flange when the wheels are on full lock.

Underseal the wheelarch area to a depth of 1/8th in (3mm) using "3M" material, or its equivalent in consistency, to prevent gel-coat crazing caused by small stones etc., thrown up by the wheels.

BB 12 - POSITIONING REPLACEMENT PANELS

a) Line up flat surface (e.g. undertray or floor area) using long wooden beams bolted to undamaged area.
b) Line up main contours (e.g. wing sections) using splints and bolt into position with flat or curved steel straps.

BB 13 - BOBBINS ( METAL INSERTS)

Considerable use is made of die-cast metal inserts, which are oval in configuration and commonly known as 'bobbins'.

These are designed to carry high loads in most directions and also offer the advantage of being accurately located in the mountings.

Two basic forms are employed as follows:- Large (structural) bobbins - with 3/8 in or 7/16 in holes (plain or threaded).

Small (semi-structural) bobbins - with 1/4 in or 5/16 in holes (plain or threaded).

The following advice is given on dealing with bobbin failures:-

Bobbins Pulling Out

This could be caused by overloading e.g. accident damage.

Where the bobbin and its surrounding area is accessible from the rough side of the laminates either naturally or by cutting non-weakening access holes, the remedy is to improvise a local mould in wood or glass fibre of the body surrounding the finished side of the bobbin.

Difficulty may be experienced in temporary re-locating the bobbin and its surrounding laminate in its original position. A local mould of the smooth side of the surrounding area (for example 6 in (15 cm) beyond in all directions) should eliminate this trouble. Re-registering can be achieved by drilling holes through mould and body and through the bobbin before removing the repair mould.

Additional 4 in (10 cm) square patches to make to up: - 1/4 in and 5/16 in bobbins: the equivalent of 5 × 11/2 oz layers.

3/8 in and 7/16 in bobbins: the equivalent of 7 x 1.4 oz layers.

NOTE: Number of patches to be determined from the above.

The bobbin can then be directly laminated on the old mounting by using the techniques described and overlapping the new laminate on to the old by several inches (centimetres) whenever possible.

The larger bobbins are used only where the loadings are known to be high, e.g. body mountings, seat attachments, etc.. Smaller bobbins are used as a locatory point or a blind attachment point.

Typical instances such as non-structural applications are headlamp pivots. In these cases loose bobbins can be repaired by more localised and less exacting means, e.g. forcing in a dough mixture around and behind the bobbin; winding tape around it, etc..

Stripped Threads

Whilst their oval section will prevent these bobbins from turning in normal use they may loosen if too much tightening pressure is applied, or when an attempt is made to tap them out to a large diameter. If a thread is damaged or stripped an attempt should be made to drill the thread clear and use a bolt and lock nut or drill oversize and fit helicoil insert. When fitting an initial check should be made with each bolt before tightening. Only U.N.C. bobbins are employed and particular care should be paid to fit only U.N.C. bolts to them. Where the bolts are particularly tight this may be due to resin within the threaded portion of the bobbin which can be remedied by tapping out.

Only the correct length of the bolt should be used, i.e. those whose thread engages with the full depth or the bobbin. No attempt should be made to pull items up under heady load with a small engagement of thread. To avoid tightening up onto the plain shank of the bolt is is recommended that only setscrews be used, i.e. those threaded all the way up to the head.

Laminating New Bobbin

Firstly the laminates from the basic mounting surface must overlap and interleave with the laminates around the bobbins. Secondly the laminate must be well built up under the bobbin to prevent the bobbin from pulling out in a downward direction. This surrounding laminate should in itself comprise a tight ring around the bobbin to prevent it from bursting out under diagonal loads but if in doubt one or two layers of tape or cloth should be wound round the waist of the bobbin. Finally plasticine or similar plugs should be used during laminating to keep the resin out of the bobbin threads. When properly laid the visible rough side wall will be nearly vertical in line with the bobbin top profile. In effect a strong reinforcing ring of laminate surrounds the bobbin and this ring must be properly connected to the basic laminate.

Layup Around Bobbins

a) it is important that build-up around bobbins is as previously described as bobbins by nature of their application are subjected to high loads, and will break out of the surrounding fibre glass if not bonded in correctly.

b) Bobbins must be bolted to mould after "mould release agent" has been applied and prior to Gel-coat application. Care must be taken to ensure that it sits well down on to the mould, and that the bobbin is positioned correctly in accordance with the specification concerned. DO NOT apply Gel-coat to the bobbin surface or sides. It is essential to keep the Gel-coat to a minimum thickness to prevent "crazing" and desirable that the general layup thickness tapers gradually away from the bobbins. Remember that tensile applications are the most demanding and require continuity of lay-up, that the above instructions be strictly adhered to, that the safety of the vehicle may be dependent upon the correctness of the application of these operations.

BB 14 - BODY MOUNTING POINTS

When mounting the body to the chassis, it may be necessary to use spacing washers between certain mounting points in order to level the body and/or prevent pre-stressing the body structure, with subsequent distortion and gel crazing.

Excel

Twelve fixings are used to attach the body to the chassis. All chassis fixingpoints are plain holes, those along the centre backbone lower flange being drilled with the body in position. Aluminium 'bobbins' are used in the body at all mounting points. All have plain holes except for numbers 9 and 10. These bobbins are tapped M10 and must have the holes in the chassis drilled before the body is finally fitted.

After lowering the body onto the chassis, locate the body using fixings 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12. Use washers where necessary to avoid straining any of the mountings and drill the chassis fixing holes at points 5, 6, 7, and 8 by using a drill through the body bobbins at these points. Raise the body off the chassis once again, and, on the old chassis, measure the position of fixing holes 9 & 10 relative to holes 7 & 8. Transfer this dimension onto the new chassis, and drill fixing holes 9 & 10.

Refit the body and tighten all fixings. Note that fixings 1 & 2 also secure the anti-roll bar clamps. Fixings 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11 & 12 should have the nuts fitted on the inside of the car.

The body to chassis mounting bobbins in the body rear section, front of boot, were changed in 1984 from the 'laminated in' type to the 'bifurcated' type. The body mounting tubes on the chassis rear crossmember were also changed to suit.

Old body on old chassis (for reference only) 18mm 'laminated in' type bobbin New body on new chassis (for reference only) 15.5mm 'bifurcated' type bobbin

When fitting an old body onto a new chassis, or new body or body section onto an old chassis, care must be taken to attain compatibility by one of the following methods.

a) 'Old' body ('laminated in' type bobbins) onto new chassis: Fit 12 x 28 x 2.5 plain washer A075W9031F between chassis and body.

Old body on new chassis Use washer A075W9031F

b) New body or body section (bifurcated bobbins) onto old chassis: Cut 5 mm from the rear end of the crossmember tubes, and fit a 12 x 28 x 2.5 plain washer A075W9031F between chassis and body.

Twelve fixings are used to attach the body to the chassis. All chassis fixing points are plain holes except numbers 13 & 14 (Federal only) which are tapped M10. Holes1 & 2 (8mm) and 3 & 4 (10mm) are drilled with the body in position.

Aluminium 'bobbins' are used in the body at all mounting points except 9 & 10 which holes are drilled through the timber/composite rear bulkhead.

After lowering the body onto the chassis, check that the pedal box mounting bosses are not fouling the body. Locate the body by inserting fixings 11 & 12 (13 & 14 on Federal cars) but do not tighten.

Insert spacers if necessary between the body and chassis at points 1 & 2 and drill chassis at these points through the body bobbins. Insert fixing bolts.

Similarly drill chassis at points 3 & 4 and insert fixings using spacer washers if necessary. Insert remaining fixings and tighten from the front of car rearwards.

BD.1 - WINDSCREEN REPLACEMENT.

The windscreen is bonded to the body aperture with "Betaseal" adhesive/sealant. The following procedure must be adhered to in detail, paying particular attention to the cleaning and priming operations and using materials supplied with Betaseal Kit, A075B6158J.

NOTE: It is likely that the screen bright finishers will have to be renewed on screen replacement.

  1. Remove the interior 'A' post finishers, and screen header rail. (see section 'V')
  2. Remove windscreen exterior bright trim and wiper arm.
  3. Bore a small hole through the Betaseal and insert a length of piano wire or similar (supplied in Betaseal Kit) approx. 1 metre long, through the hole. With the aid of an assistant inside the car, use a sawing action to cut through the Betaseal and free the screen from the car. Alternatively, use cutting out tool A075B6169. Take great care not to damage the interior trim or paintwork during this operation.

Using tool A075B6169

  1. Remove excess Betaseal from the screen aperture with a sharp blade. Note that it is not necessary to remove all traces of the sealant but a uniform surface must be available for bonding the new screen.
  2. Dry fit the screen and examine the screen/body joint conformity. If necessary, use props to support the central portion of the aperture top flange. Mark any areas of significant non-conformity in order that an additional bead of Betaseal may be applied to the body flange in that local area only, before screen fitment.
  3. Make up the two spacers to support the screen in its aperture and provide a 6 - 7 mm gap between screen top edge and body.
  4. Clean up the laminated edge of the glass with a sharp knife.
  5. Cut the special paper provided in the Betaseal Kit into two. With one half use Wipe Cleaner No. 4 to clean the perimeter of the glass and the whole bonding area of the body flange. With the other half, wipe dry the surfaces cleaned.
  6. Remove the grooved sections from the primer applicator guide to obtain a 20 mm width band. (i.e. full applicator width.)

Cut here

  1. Shake glass primer container for at least 30 seconds before opening. Pour glass primer into plastic bottle and fit applicator guide and felt pad. Apply primer around perimeter and laminated edge of glass. Also, prime whole of body aperture flange.

  2. Cut the Betaseal application nozzle as shown below.

70mm

A. Cut off top of nozzle at a height of 70 mm as shown.

63mm

B. At a height of 63mm cut horizontally across to the centre line. From the top, cut vertically downwards along the centre line to meet first cut as shown.

5mm

C. Measure width of horizontal cut from inside surface to the plane of the vertical cut. If this dimension is less than 5mm cut further across (at 63mm height) and then downwards as in b) until a width of 5mm is achieved.

52mm

D. Cut a 'V' notch as shown by continuing one side of the vertical cut downwards to a height of 52mm, and intersect with a diagonal cut from the point of maximum width.

SECTION BD

  1. Push in bottom of Betaseal cartridge and remove desiccant Pierce membrane in cartridge thread, screw on application nozzle and insert in cartridge gun.
  2. Holding the gun at a right angle to the edge of the glass and leaning slightly inboard, extrude a continuous bead of Betaseal on the perimeter of the glass, using the edge of the glass and shape of the nozzle as a guide. This method will give the bead the correct dimensions and also make the top of the bead collapse inboard, reducing the amount of material squeezed out of the joint or assembly.

Illustration of a hand using a tool to apply or install a component on a flat surface (no text or symbols present)

  1. Push eight 4 mm spacer blocks A075U0588Z into the Betaseal from the inside of the bead in the positions shown.
  2. Fit the screen onto the body and use the two spacers made in paragraph 6 to support the glass whilst the Betaseal cures. Press gently all round the edge of the glass to ensure uniform compression of the joint.
  3. Water test before fitting bright trim. If any leakage is found, mark the spot and dry the bead with a blow dryer or similar. Extrude a small amount of Betaseal from the outside on the suspected area in order to ensure the vehicle is waterproof.

Do not fit screen bright trim until the Betaseal is sufficiently cured not to be disturbed. This may take up to 6 hours depending on atmospheric conditions.

  1. Dry fit the screen bright finishers and adjust the length and corners of the top finisher if required. Abrade the underside of the finishers to remove the anodised surface and then score to produce a key for the adhesive. Degrease surfaces using acetone or methylated spirit.

  2. Adhesive to be used is 3M's 8101 parts A & B, part numbers A075U6073F and A075U6074F respectively.

Mix parts A & B of adhesive in equal parts until a uniform colour. Apply a short bead of adhesive approximately 40 mm long in 10 places. as shown.

Simple line drawing of a trapezoidal structure with no text, numbers, or symbols

  1. Fit the three sections of trim and tape firmly in position. Wipe off excess adhesive. The adhesive will cure within one hour to provide handling strength at 73°F, whilst 8 hours is required for full cure. Curing will be slower at cooler temperatures.

NOTE: Under no circumstances must silicon, dust, wax etc. be present in the atmosphere during bonding.

  1. After curing apply black "Silastic" around the bright trim outer edge to seal, and black strip A082U6072V to the lower edge of the glass. Refit wiper arm and interior trim.

Spillage of material.

a) Any spillage of Betaseal onto unprimed glass can be readily peeled off after it has cured.

b) Any spillage onto the body can be removed with either Wipe Cleaner No. 4, or white spirit.

Shelf life.

a) Betaseal has a shelf life of over 6 months at ambient temperature in the original unopened package.

b) Glass primer becomes spongy after a period of time when exposed to the air. If the material is spongy DO NOT USE.

Always use glass primer immediately on opening, and replace lid after use.

The tailgate glass is fitted using Betaseal in a similar manner to the windscreen. To replace a tailgate glass, follow the windscreen procedure BD.1. with the following notes.

i) The ABS moulding around the inside of the aperture is secured using black Silastic.

ii) Six spacer blocks, A075U0588F are used around the periphery of the glass.

BD.3. - REAR BULKHEAD GLASS.

The rear bulkhead glass is bonded to its composite surround using either Solbit thermo-electric or Betaseal polyurethane bonding medium. The surround is then screwed to the timber bulkhead.

To replace glass.

  1. Release both seatbelts from their sill mounting points, and on Federal cars, the tailgate release handle assembly.
  2. Pull off the door seals from the top rear of each door aperture, release the screws securing the rear bulkhead trim panel, and remove the panel, disconnecting the interior lamp.
  3. Release the screws securing the glass surround to the bulkhead, and remove.
  4. It may prove possible (dependant on length of service) to push out the glass from the surround after re-heating the Solbit by applying 19 volts to the Solbit ends for several minutes. Alternatively use 'piano' wire to cut out the glass.
  5. Remove remaining bonding medium from surround and glass.
  6. Follow the Betaseal procedure detailed in BD.1. to clean, prime and bond the glass to its surround, using six spacer blocks A075U0588Z around the periphery of the glass.
  7. Refit the surround to the bulkhead, using black Silastic to seal.
  8. Refit trim panels, seat belts, etc.

The rear quarter windows are fitted using 'Solbit' thermoelectric bonding medium.

To replace.

  1. Carefully remove the ABS finisher which is stuck to the glass with double sided tape.
  2. It may prove possible (dependant on length of service) to push out the glass after re-heating the Solbit by applying 9 volts to the Solbit ends for several minutes. Alternatively use 'piano' wire to cut out the glass, but first remove the air scoop/extractor and take precautions as necessary to protect the paintwork.
  3. Remove remaining Solbit from the body and glass.
  4. Clean the inside periphery of the glass, and the whole of the body bonding area with methylated spirit, and wipe dry.
  5. Apply Solbit Primer to the areas cleaned in 4.

  6. Cut a 1.3 metre length of 8 mm Solbit and strip each end to expose 12 mm (0.5 in.) of the internal copper wire. Connect the ends to a variable transformer and apply 9 volts to the Solbit until its surface is tacky. Disconnect Solbit from power source.

  7. Starting at the centre top, apply the Solbit around the quarter light aperture and cross over at the end. Fit two spacer blocks A075U0588F into the top of the Solbit strip along the aperture lower edge.
  8. Fit the glass onto the aperture and reconnect the Solbit to the 9 volt power source. Apply gentle pressure to the glass. After about two minutes, the Solbit will start to flow and the glass will be felt to move slowly inwards. When the lower edge of the glass is felt to contact the spacers and the rest of the Solbit is similarly compressed STOP applying pressure but continue to apply current for a further ten minutes whilst supporting the glass using tank tape. Smooth off or remove excess extruded Solbit.
  9. Clean the outside perimeter of the glass, and inside surface of the ABS finisher with methylated spirit. Wipe dry.
  10. Apply Solbit Primer to the inside surface of the ABS finisher, and when dry, apply double sided tape B075U6070V. Peel off the backing paper and fit the finisher to the glass.
  11. Refit the air scoop/extractor.

BD.5. - DOOR WINDOW FRAME.

  1. To remove:- Peel back the trim material inside the interior door handle and loosen the three screws securing the handle assembly to the door. Slide out the upper and lower halves of the door handle plastic surround.

BD.10 - HEADLAMP PODS.

Pivot.

Federal cars use a pod pivot ball joint at each side of each pod, the outboard ball joint being rivetted to the body, whilst the inboard ball joint is fixed to the pod. The inboard pivot bolt passes through the pod ball joint and then through the bonnet ball joint (fixed to the body) before threading into the bonnet hinge bar.

Bonnet pivot ball joint rivetted to body Inboard ball joint rivetted to pod Outboard ball joint rivetted to body Bonnethinge bar Spacer washers Spacer washer FEDERAL CARS

Domestic and RoW cars use a body mounted ball joint on the outboard side, and on the inboard side, a hinge pin pivotting in bushes mounted both in the pod and body, and carrying on its 'overhung' outboard end, the bonnet hinge.

Pivot bush in body Pivot bush in pod Bonnet hinge Outboard ball joint Pivot pin SERIES 3 and Domestic/Row TURBO

To remove.

To remove a headlamp pod, unplug the bulb connectors and release the pod actuating link. Release the pod outboard pivot bolt and support the bonnet panel before releasing the inboard pivot bolt (Federal) or removing the split pin and sliding out the hinge pin (DOM/ROW).

On refitting ensure that the pod is located centrally using spacer washers if necessary, and that the pod pivots freely before connecting the actuating link.

Adjustment

The pod down position is adjusted by altering the actuating link length. Slacken the locknut at each end of the actuating link and turn the link rod to change its effective length as required.

Tighten locknuts.

Locknuts

SECTION BD

Always check headlamp beam setting after any pod adjustment is made since the pod up position will also be altered.

BD.11 - FRONT BONNET PANEL.

The front bonnet panel is hinged at its front edge by two individual hinges on DOM/ROW cars and by a cross linkage bar on Federal vehicles. The hinge pivots are incorporated with the headlamp pod inboard pivots. (see section BD.8.)

The striker hoops fitted at each rear corner of the bonnet panelengage with two catch discs mounted on the bulkhead. The catch discs are connected via adjustable link rods to a cross bar with a release handle on the drivers side.

Adjustment.

The shut gap and height of the bonnet front edge may be adjusted via hinge slots and spacer plates. The sideways fit of the panel is controlled by spacer washers at the hinge pivots.

At the rear edge, the catch disc position should be similar on both sides with the slot pointing slightly upwards in the 'released' setting. Striker plate spacers and slots are used to adjust the bonnet rear edge height and catch engagement respectively.

BD.12. - TAILGATE

The tailgate panel is hinged at each top corner (except on sun roof models) to a bobbin bonded into the roof structure. On sun roof models each hinge pivot takes the form of a bracket bolted to the roof.

Three types of tailgate latching system have been employed. Domestic/R.O.W. Turbo models have a key lockable external release knob on the rear spoiler, which is connected via a link rod to the right hand tailgate latch. Right and left hand latches are interconnected by a cross bar and when released allow the tailgate to be opened, assisted by two gas struts. On early cars, the struts were anchored in the tailgate aperture, but later cars used an anchor position at the front of the engine bay for greater opening assistance.

Series 3 models use a cable operated release activated via a pull handle in the drivers door 'B' post. Prior to 1985, a spring plunger alongside each catch, raised the tailgate on release sufficiently to enable it to be opened fully by hand. From 1985, the spring plungers were deleted and a recess provided in the tailgate lower edge and body to permit a handhold

U.S.A. Turbo models utilise a cable release activated via a pull lever in the drivers side rear bulkhead. This is connected to a catch plate in each lower corner of the tailgate aperture. Two gas struts are used to assist tailgate opening and support it in the fully open position.

The release lever pivot is secured by a nut and integral stud which passes through the bulkhead just outboard of the seat belt reel.

anchorage position of the gas struts was changed from the tailgate aperture (early models) to the front engine bay in order to improve opening assistance.

HRS feed wire Body Pivot bolt Hinge Tapping plate inside tailgate HRS feed wire

Removal The tailgate is most easily removed by releasing the gas struts and then removing the hinge blade to tailgate bolts. Note that the tapping plate for the hinges is retained in the tailgate by a third fixing further along (gas strut anchor S3 and early Turbo). On no account should all three fixings be removed at the same time since the plate is captive within the tailgate double skin and may not easily be repositioned.

Removal of the hinge blade pivot bolts will (except on glass roof models) necessitate removal of the exterior capping rail and interior rear bulkhead trim. The capping rail is fixed by screws and Silastic along its lower edge and retained along its top edge by the lip of the bright finisher strip. After removing the capping rail and rear bulkhead trim panel (VB.8) the Nyloc pivot bolt nuts may be released and the pivot bolts withdrawn.

Note that the hinges are used to transmit current to the heated rear screen, with one wire on each side being fitted beneath the pivot bolt nut and then taken from the tailgate tapping screw to the screen.

On'glass roof' cars a pivot bracket is bolted to the roof on each side so that after removal of the tailgate and pivot brackets the hinge pivot bolt may be removed without disturbing the capping rail.

Latch adjustment.

On Series 3 tailgates, slots and shim plates are provided for adjusting striker position and depth. The height of each catch assembly may be adjusted after slackening the catch to body screws and catch bracket to rear panel support strut screws. A single cable is used to release both catches and is adjusted to remove slack by means of a solderless nipple at the left hand catch.

Federal Turbo models use striker pins in the tailgate panel adjustable for height after slackening the locknut. The catch assemblies in each rear corner of the tailgate aperture are adjustable for position after slackening their two mounting screws. The single release cable abuts against the left hand catch before being retained at the right hand catch by a solderless nipple.

The carburettor air box is fed with air via an intake silencer located above the right hand fuel tank and a Venturi hose strapped to the wheelarch. Air is thus drawn from the rear luggage compartment into which is fed fresh

Cool Air In Hot Air Out Inlet Silencer Cool Air In Dummy Vent Hot Air Out Induction Air In

air from the left hand luggage compartment vent, connected to the left hand 'ear' intake vent. In this way an airflow is maintained through the luggage compartment, aiding demisting of the tailgate glass.

Turbo.

On Turbo models, the louvered tailgate panel seals around the engine lid aperture and draws air out from the engine bay when the car is moving. Cool air is fed into the bottom of the engine bay via the NACA duct in each sill. The engine airbox is fed from the right hand intake vent 'ear' behind the rear quarter window.

On Federal cars the left hand intake 'ear' is used to supply additional cooling air to the carburettor area via a duct within the engine cover lid. The engine bay cooling fan fitted in the engine cover lid is designed to aid cooling after the engine has been switched off, by blowing air down over the carburettors. The fan will operate during a period of 15 minutes after switching off the ignition if engine bay temperature exceeds 85°C (thermal switch fitted to left hand front underside of engine cover lid). An inhibitor switch fitted into the top of the ignition box isolates this circuit when the engine lid is raised.

BD.17 - GLASS ROOF ABUTMENT

In early 1985, a positive stop abutment was added to the glass roof rear catch support brackets, such that the roof is clamped shut against two rubber buffers. An improved 'over centre' catch action results in more rigid retention of the roof panel with less liability for rattles and squeaks. The shimming of the rear catch support brackets to the body may then be adjusted for optimum panel height and seat compression.

The revised catch support brackets (D082U4974F) and rubber buffers (X046B6113Z) are directly interchangeable with the earlier brackets.

CB.1.- LUBRICATION

The only items of the front suspension requiring periodic lubrication, are the front wheel bearings and the lower trunnion swivel joint.

At the recommended service interval, repack the hub with grease, (See Section C and lubricate the lower trunnions.

Lower Trunnions: It is ESSENTIAL that a recommended EP90 grade oil is used to lubricate the trunnions, and NOT grease. Remove the plug shown arrowed, and fit a threaded grease nipple into the vertical link. Apply an oil filled grease gun to the nipple, and pump until oil exudes from the trunnion top seal.

Blanking Plug

CB.2.- GEOMETRY

Under normal service conditions, it should only be necessary to check the front wheel alignment. A full geometry check is only necessary following front suspension repair, or if excessive tyre wear is evident, or steering difficulties experienced. Both wheel alignment and castor angle are adjustable, but camber and steering axis inclination (K.P.I.) are set during manufacture, and are non-adjustable.

K.P.I. 9° ± 0° 30'
Toe-in 2mm overall ± 1mm

CB.3.-CASTOR ADJUSTMENT

Castor adjustment is affected by fitting shims between the anti-roll bar mountings and the chassis. Two types of mounting have been used.

i). Up to VIN 82/85D 1262, 82/85 A/E/G/H/S0410 exc. 0399 and 0400 C/F, B/C/F/K 0103.

Spacer washers A075W4028Z, 2.5 mm thick, are fitted between the mounting and chassis, on both upper and lower bolts. On each side of the car, an equal number of washers must be used top and bottom, up to a maximum thickness of three washers.

ii). From VIN 82/85D 1263, 82/85 A/E/G/H/S 0411 plus 0399 and 0400 C/F B/C/F/K 0104. Shim plates A082C4052, 2mm thick, may be slid in behind the mountings after slackening the bolts. Up to four shims may be used on each side.

Shim plates

CB.4.-FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT

To adjust the front wheel alignment, slacken the track rod end locknuts and steering rack bellows outer clips. Turn each track rod the same amount, without damaging the surface and after tightening the locknuts check that the same number of threads are left showing at each side. When the adjustment is correct tighten the bellows clamps.

CB.5.- FRONT SUSPENSION DISASSEMBLY

CAUTION: Because the upper and lower road spring abutments are the chassis and lower link respectively, it is ESSENTIAL that spring compressors are used before disconnecting either end of the damper, or the lower link from the chassis. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

All suspension rubber bush pivots, must be tightened only at ride height (150 and 175 mm at front and rear of chassis centre box section).

On the anti-roll bar to lower link bush fixing, note that a special chamfered washer is fitted between the anti-roll bar and the lower link front bush, in order to provide for fillet clearance. Ensure this washer is fitted the correct way round.

Bush Flat Washer C.22 Chamfered Washer Distance Tube

Note when fitting the damper that a flat washer is used on both sides of the damper lower bush inside the lower link.

CB.6.-FRONT HUB ADJUSTMENT

Adjustment: Remove the road wheel followed by the hub dust cover (A) and split pin (B).

Tighten the hub nut to 0.7 - 0.8 kgf.m. (5 - 6 lbf.ft.) whilst rotating the hub to ensure bedding of the taper roller bearings. Slacken the nut sufficiently to obtain a hub endfloat of 0.08 - 0.13 mm (0.003 - 0.005 in.) measured with a dial gauge. Insert the split pin and refit the hub dust cover.

CB.7. - WHEEL BEARING REPLACEMENT

  1. Remove the road wheel. Release the caliper fixing bolts, and support caliper clear of disc without straining brake hose.
  2. Remove hub dust cap (A) split pin (B), nut (C), washer (D) and pull off the hub assembly (E) complete with bearings.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The front suspension is fully independent with upper and lower wishbones together with concentric damper/spring assemblies and an anti-roll bar.

A stub axle, integral with the non-handed vertical link (hub carrier) carries each front hub on two taper roller bearings, adjustable for endfloat.

CC. 1 - GEOMETRY

Under normal service conditions, it should only be necessary to check the front wheel alignment. A full geometry check is only necessary following front suspension repair or if excessive tyre wear is evident, or steering difficulties experienced.

The recommended method of measuring front wheel alignment is by the use of parallel bars as described in section DB so that the rear wheel alignment may be checked at the same time.

Before measuring suspension geometry set car to ride height of 170mm below chassis front cross member, 170mm below rear lower link chassis brackets.

Camber 0° 30' negative + 0° 30'
Castormin 1° 45' max 3° (Within 0° 30' side to side)
K.P.I. 9° 23' nominal
Toe-in1.6mm each side + 0 - 1mm

CC. 2 - CASTOR ADJUSTMENT

Cars prior to VIN 82/85 D 1937 (Dom) FF 0602 (U.S.A.) may be fitted with castor adjustment shims 'A' and 'B' as illustrated. These shims are available in various thicknesses:

Shim Washer'A' 1.5mmA082C4091
'' '''A' 3.0mmA082C4092
'' '''A' 6.0mmA082C4093
Shim Plate'B' 1.5mmA082C4090
'' '''B' 3.0mmA082C4089

Shims may be fitted up to a maximum thickness of 6.0mm to correct castor if necessary.

Important The same thickness shim pack must be used at location 'A' and 'B'. As a rough guide, fitment of 3.0mm shims at 'A' and 'B' will result in an increase in castor of approx. 10/2 .

Cars from and including VIN 82/85 D 1937 (Dom) FF0602 (USA) have a shortened chassis fixing tube for the top wishbone pivot stud, and 6mm of shim washers 'A' distributed between the front and rear of the chassis at this point. In extreme cases, these cars may be fitted with additional shims 'A' and 'B' as detailed above.

Caution in all cases ensure that the top wishbone pivot stud and ball joint bolts have sufficient engagement through their Nyloc nuts. If necessary, replace the pivot bolt front Nyloc and locknut with two locknuts (i.e. one Nyloc at rear and two locknuts at front). A 5mm longer ball joint outer bolt (M8 x 65) is available part no. A075W2044.

CC. 3 - SUSPENSION DISASSEMBLY

See exploded diagram for general layout

Caution The road spring lower platform is integral with the damper lower body, while the spring top platform/damper abutment is bolted to the chassis. Under no circumstances therefore may the damper top stem nuts be removed unless the spring/damper assembly is removed from the vehicle and the spring compressed in an hydraulic press or similar.

Spring/damper removal: These two components must be removed from the vehicle as an assembly. Release the damper to lower wishbone fixing, and the four nuts securing the spring top platform to the chassis, and remove assembly to bench.

Spring Top Platform/ Damper Abutment (bolted to chassis) Rubber Spring Seat, Top Spring Lower Platform (integral with damper)

Note that early '85 MY cars used parallel coil springs, which were superceded by conical springs with the greater diameter fitted lowermost. The diameter of the spring seat on the damper body is correspondingly increased for use with conical springs. If replacing a spring or a damper of the earlier 'parallel spring' type, then the later 'conical spring' type components should be fitted as an assembly.

Before the spring/damper assembly may be further dismantled, it is necessary to compress the spring. Conventional spring compressor clamps may not be suitable due to the close coiled nature of the compressed spring. Use special tool T000 or hydraulic press with suitable adaptors to compress the spring before removing the damper top stem nuts and rubber bush. After unloading the spring, the individual components may be replaced.

The anti-roll bar fixing into the lower wishbone is by push fit only. Use rubber grease on assembly. If replacing the lower wishbone anti-roll bar bush, ensure that the larger portion (in relation to its location groove) is fitted towards the front.

Suspension Re-assembly

On re-assembly, ensure that the upper and lower wishbone to chassis pivot bolts, and the damper to lower wishbone bolts, are tightened only with the car at ride height.

Ensure that plastic blanking plug A089U6089F is fitted into the open rear end of the lower wishbone front tube.

CC. 4 - FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS

  1. The brake caliper must first be removed. In order to extract the caliper uppermost fixing bolt, it is necessary first to remove the cylinder swing release bolt, and swing up the cylinder until the brake pipe clears the caliper top fixing bolt.

  2. Remove the hub nut and pull off the hub complete with brake disc.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The rear suspension is fully independent with single upper and lower transverse links and box section trailing radius arms. Co-axial coil springs and oil filled telescopic dampers act on the aluminium alloy hub carrier.

An outboard drive shaft is carried in each hub carrier on a single sealed for life dual race angular contact ball bearing.

DB.1.- GEOMETRY

At ride height (170mm below rear lower link chassis brackets);

Camber : minus 0°30' ± 0°15'

Toe-In : 1.5mm each side + 0.5mm

DB.2.- REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT

It is essential that rear wheel alignment is checked using equipment which measures individual wheel alignment. The most reliable and accurate method is considered to be the use of parallel bars, as used on production.

Two bars which are longer than the overall length of the car, and 4 axle stands are required. The bars should be obtained locally and should be of 'T' or square section and be sufficiently rigid to avoid significant bending or sagging between supports.

Set up the two bars on each side of the car at wheel centre height as shown in the diagram, so that A equals A, B equals B and C equals C.

A FRONT B C A REAR B C

Measure the distance from the bar to the RIM of the wheel concerned at front and rear of the centre line of the wheel. If the front dimension is greater than the rear dimension, the wheel has TOE-IN. If the rear dimension is greater than the front dimension, the wheel has TOE-OUT. The difference between the two measurements is the amount the wheel has TOE-IN or TOE-OUT.

Rear wheel alignment is adjusted by transferring shim washers between the inner and outer sides of the radius arm at its front mounting.

Spacer plate Shim washers

If correct adjustment cannot be obtained by transference of the shim washers, spacer plates may be used between the radius arm mounting and the chassis in the following combinations, in order to bring the correct setting within the range of adjustment afforded by the shim washers.

EITHER-One 2mm spacerA079D4051K
OR-Two 2mm spacerA079D4051K
OR-One 6mm spacerB079D4051K
OR-(One 2mm spacer(Plus One 6mm spacerA079D4051K)B079D4051K)

Ensure at all times that the mounting to chassis fixing bolts are of sufficient length to ensure full engagement of the nyloc fixing nuts.

NOTE: On final assembly, use a new nyloc nut on the bolt securing the radius arm to the rubber mounting, and torque tighten to 5.5 - 6.2 kgf.m (40 - 45 lbf.ft.) with the car at ride height.

DB.3.- REAR SUSPENSION REASSEMBLY

On reassembly of the rear suspension after component replacement or overhaul, check the rear wheel toe-in and adjust if necessary.

Tighten all upper and lower link pivot bolts and radius arm pivot bolt only with the car at ride height.

Note positions and assembly sequence of all pivot bolt washers before dismantling. Check general layout drawing at front of this section for damper to hub carrier fitment.

DB.4. - REAR WHEEL BEARING REMOVAL

  1. Remove hub carrier assembly from car.
  2. Remove split pin and hub retaining nut. Tap loose and remove the conical spacer.
  3. Using a suitable puller remove the hub.
  4. With the hub carrier on the bed of a press, press out the outboard driveshaft and spacer.

DB.5.- REAR WHEEL BEARING INSTALLATION

  1. Thoroughly degrease hub carrier (bearing housing) and outer surface of new hub bearing.
  2. Before fitting the new bearing in the housing, preheat the hub carrier to approx. 100°C and soak at that temperature for 5 to 10 mins. A convenient method is to immerse the casting for 10 minutes in boiling water. Do not exceed a temperature of 150°C.
  3. Allow moisture to evaporate from the hub carrier, then apply a thin coat of Permabond A148 (Part No. A082V6107) to the mating surfaces of the bearing and housing. Do NOT contaminate any moving parts of the bearing.
  4. Press in the new bearing from the hub side of the housing, until the bearing is in contact

with the shoulder in the housing. Apply load to the outer track of the bearing only.

  1. Fit a new bearing retention circlip into the housing and allow to cool naturally to ambient temperature.
  2. Support the outboard driveshaft on the bed of a press, and fit the spacer over the shaft, larger end towards the flange.
  3. Press the hub carrier assembly onto the driveshaft, applying load to the inner track of the bearing only.
  4. Fit the hub onto the driveshaft splines. Check that the mating faces of the conical washer and hub are scrupulously clean before fitting the washer and hub nut. Tighten the nut to 28 kgf.m (200 lbf.ft.) and then if necessary tighten further to enable the split pin to be fitted. It is most important that the nut is not slackened to insert the pin.
  5. Refit the hub carrier assembly to car. TIGHTEN ALL BOLTS/NUTS TO THEIR SPECIFIED TORQUE LOADING (Refer to Service Notes Technical Data)

Lotus Turbo Esprit (1980) - DB.6. - DRIVE SHAFT C.V. JOINT BOOT REPLACEMENT - 10

APR 1987 Page 2 Esprit Turbo 910 Engine & Transmission Assembly. ANDREW DIBBEN SECTION EA

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The engine which is inclined at 45° is a die-cast all alloy 4 cylinder, with wet cylinder liners and twin overhead camshaft in a cross flow cylinder head.

Pent roof combustion chambers are used with 4 valves (two inlet and two exhaust) having seprate ports, per cylinder. The valves have replaceable guides and seat inserts and are at an inclusive angle of 38° . They are operated by the camshafts acting directly on the cam followers (tappets), the camshafts being driven at half engine speed by a toothed belt. The camshafts end float is taken by a thrust washer at the rear end of each shaft. The toothed driving belt also drives the auxiliary shaft, this in turn driving the oil pump and ignition distributor.

The crankshaft, of cast iron construction and dynamically balanced, runs in 5 steel-backed leaded bronze lined main bearings, end float being controlled by split thrust washers located in the cylinder block on either side of the rear main bearing.

The connecting rods of 'l' section forgings have steel backed bronze little end bushes and steel-backed leaded bronze lined big-end bearings, the big-end bearing caps being located by dowels and retained by bolts. Solid skirt aluminium alloy pistons with two compression and one oil control ring, situated above the gudgeon pin, are used. The gudgeon pins are retained in position by circlips installed in grooves at each end of the gudgeon pin bore.

A cast iron flywheel incorporating a steel ring driving gear for the starter, is located on the crankshaft flange and retained by two dowels and six bolts fitted without lockwashers.

EA.1.-LUBRICATION

General

The lubrication system is of the forced feed type, the oil being circulated by a mechanically driven oil pump. The pump, of the eccentric bi-rotor type which incorporates a non-adjustable plunger type relief valve, is driven by an auxiliary shaft this being contained in the auxiliary housing bolted to the right-hand side of the cylinder block.

Oil is drawn from the sump up a pick-up pipe and into the pump. When the relief valve opens, oil is passed back into the inlet side of pump. From the pump the pressurised oil flows through the oil cooler and full-flow filter to the oil gallery. The oil gallery passes along the right-hand side of the engine, from where oil is taken to feed the crankshaft main bearings and through drillings in the webs of the crankshaft, to the big-end bearings. The oil gallery also takes oil forward to the auxiliary shaft, then subsequently to the camshaft bearings and valve gear. Lubrication of the little end bushes, the gudgeon pins and the non-thrust sides of the cylinder liners is by oil mist.

An oil gallery cover opposite fourth main bearing provides take offs for the oil pressure gauge, turbocharger oil feed and low temperature switch (H.C.I.)

On dry sump Turbo Esprit models a separate belt driven oil pump assembly is used, fixed to the right hand side of the main bearing panel.

The assembly consists of two scavenge pumps and a pressure pump all mounted on a common axis and supported by the scavenge manifold.

The two scavenge pumps draw oil out from the sump via the scavenge manifold, one pump drawing from ducts 1 and 3, the other from ducts 2 and 4. The oil/air mixture is pumped through the oil cooler and into the oil tank oil/air separator. The pressure pump draws oil from the tank and feeds it via a cylinder block passage into the auxiliary housing. A pressure relief valve is incorporated into the scavenge manifold and bleeds oil back into the inlet side of the pump on opening.

The auxiliary housing passageways are modified to direct the oil into the oil filter, (by-passing the pump housing) and thence into the oil gallery.

All Esprit models (except early Series 1) use a 'cross drilled' crankshaft to enable plain lower main bearing shells to be fitted and increase load capacity.

Oil Level

NOT Dry Sump Turbo: Before checking oil level, allow a full five minutes for oil to return to sump. The correct oil level is to the upper mark on the dipstick with the car on a level surface. Add oil if necessary through the filler neck on the inlet camshaft cover. Do NOT overfill. Replace filler cap securely.

The engine oil should be changed and a new filter fitted at the recommended service intervals. Sump capacity is listed in TECHNICAL DATA, and should be drained when the oil is warm and impurities are held in suspension.

Dry Sump Turbo: Check the oil level in the tank at the right hand side of the engine bay WITHIN TWO MINUTES of switching off. Oil will drain back from the tank into the sump when left standing and if the level is checked before the scavenge pumps have returned this oil to the tank, overfilling will result.

The oil should be changed and a new filter fitted at the recommended service intervals. The tank drain plug is located in the right hand rear wheel arch reached after removal of the road wheel. Drain the tank when the oil is warm and impurities are held in suspension. Fill the tank with new oil to the top mark on the dipstick and run the engine for 2 - 3 minutes at 1500 rpm. Switch off and check level within 2 minutes, topping up if necessary.

Oil Filter

A full flow filter of the 'throw-away' canister type, incorporating an anti-drain back valve, is screwed onto the rear of the auxiliary housing.

EA.2.- ENGINE TUNE (NOT Federal Turbo)

  1. Pull off the sparking plug leads and remove the plugs. Check the cylinder compressions. Clean the plugs and reset the gaps to the dimensions given in TECHNICAL DATA, or if the electrodes are badly burnt, fit new plugs and re-connect the leads. If contact breaker points are fitted:

  2. Remove the ignition distributor and examine the contact-breaker points. Replace the points if badly burnt, or excessive metal transfer is evident. Adjust the points gap to the dimension given in TECHNICAL DATA and refit the distributor.

  3. Remove the air cleaner element and clean (or replace if necessary).

  4. Disconnect the fuel feed pipe at the carburetters and check the fuel flow. Fuel pressure on Turbo engines = 4.5 lb/in 2 above boost pressure.

  5. Dellorto Carburetters - Remove float chamber cover. Withdraw the float assembly. Remove all jets and blow them clear with the assistance of an air line. Do NOT use wire as this will enlarge the jet orifice. Remove the needle valve and valve body and blow clean with an air line. Clean the float and float chamber using clean petrol. Replace all jets, needle valve body and needle valve. Using a new gasket, fit to float chamber cover, replace float assembly. Check float setting. Refit float chamber cover.

  6. Zenith-Stromberg Carburetters - Remove carburetters from the engine to a clean bench. Release centre-plug from the base of each carburetter. Remove float chambers by releasing the retaining screws and withdrawing in a vertical motion to avoid damage to the float mechanism. Remove float chamber gasket and take out floats. Remove needle valve from float chamber cover. Remove 'O' ring from base centre-plug. Thoroughly wash all removed parts in clean petrol. Refit needle valve into float chamber cover using a new washer. Replace float assembly. Refit float chambers with a new gasket. Fit new 'O' ring to base centre-plug and replace securely. Refit carburetters to engine using new gaskets. Top up damper reservoirs with oil.

  7. Re-connect the fuel pipes at the carburetters.

  8. Check valve timing, toothed belt tension and condition, valve clearances, adjust as necessary.
  9. Check the ignition timing, adjusting if necessary.
  10. Adjust the engine slow-running speed and mixture (see TECHNICAL DATA).

EA.3. - COMPRESSION CHECK

  1. Warm the engine to its normal operating temperature. Switch 'off' the engine and remove all sparking plugs. Note: before removing spark plugs ensure that plug wells are free of any foreign matter. Set throttles to fully open position.
  2. Using proprietary compression testing equipment, place the gauge in a convenient position to be observed and insert the conical-ended rubber tube in the No.1 sparking plug orifice. The normal compression pressure with an engine that has been 'run-in' correctly is given in TECHNICAL DATA. At altitudes above sea-level, proportionally lower pressures will be obtained. Compression is checked with the starter motor turning the engine at approximately 200 r.p.m. Battery and starter motor must of course, be in good condition.
  3. Test the remaining cylinders in a similar manner.
  4. Replace sparking plugs and re-connect the sparking plug leads.

Three different types of camshaft cover have been used:

  1. All 907 engines, and naturally aspirated 912 engines prior to 1986, use a 'saddle' type cover with a curved joint face. When refitting this type of cover, it is essential to use Silastic RTV 732 on the joint face of both housing and cover together with a new gasket. Do not overtighten the fixings (See Torque loadings) On some models it may be necessary to place the bolts into the cover before fitting to the engine.
  2. Turbo 910 engines prior to mid '86 and early '86 M.Y. Excel engines, use flat type cam covers with a three eared filler cap at the front of the inlet cover. Use Hylomar if necessary to retain the gasket whilst fitting. tighten the three slot head retaining nuts with their rubber washers.
  3. U.S.A. Turbo H.C.I. and other engine variants at later dates, use covers similar to (2) but with the oil filler at the rear of the inlet cover. the gaskets on these engines are retained by spirol pins and the covers by socket head screws and 'O' rings.

EA.5.- CAMSHAFTS

To Remove

  1. Remove upper section of belt guard(Section EA.7.)(front engined cars only)
  2. Remove the camshaft covers (Section EA.4.)
  3. Check all valve clearances (Section EA.6.) noting any which require adjustment.
    Remove the timing belt (Section EA.8.) On engines equipped with air
  4. injection, remove the air injection rail from the cylinder head.
  5. Insert small bar magnets across each of two cam followers, to hold the cam followers in their respective bores. Note: Use magnets only for removal.

Fig. 1 - View showing cam followers held by magnets

  1. Remove the ten nuts and washers (release the nuts diagonally inwards from the outside) securing the camshaft housing. Care MUST be taken to avoid dropping any nuts or washers down the inside front of the camshaft housing. Remove the housing and discard the gasket. (if fitted).

On Turbo engines, it is necessary to remove the socket head access plugs and then to use 'Torx' socket T000T0443 on the cam housing bolts.

  1. Repeat the process for the other housing. On front engined cars, release the cooling system header tank before removing the exhaust camshaft housing.

On engines equipped with an air pump, remove the air pump belt guard and belt before removing the exhaust camshaft housing.

  1. Remove the magnets and release cam followers from their locations. Place them in their respective fitting positions, noting that the cam follower shims are almost always 'stuck' to the underside of the cam follower. If they are not, then they will be 'stuck' to the top of the valve stems. Keep the shim with its respective cam follower.

Ensure oil seal is flush with outer face of housing. If seal is fitted to the shoulder inside housing the oil drain hole would be blocked.

  1. Refit the toothed belt snubber (where fitted) loosley onto inlet camshaft housing, with the eccentric sleeve fitted on the lower stud, and 'Loctite' applied to the nut threads.
  2. If it has been removed, refit the woodruff key to the front end of the camshaft, and replace camshaft sprocket together with its large plain washer spring washer and retaining bolt. It is ESSENTIAL that the sprockets are fitted the correct way round on each camshaft, i.e. "IN-coloured dot" facing forward on inlet camshaft and "EX-coloured dot" facing forward on exhaust camshaft. See 'TECHNICAL DATA' for correct specification.
  3. On engines without air pump: fit the selective thrust washer with its retaining bolt, and spring washer, ensuring that it is located on the dowel protruding from the rear end of the camshaft. Hold the camshaft sprocket in the vice (fig.3.). Tighten thrust washer and sprocket retaining bolt to specified loading (see TECHNICAL DATA). Replace rear cover with new 'O'ring, tightening the bolts to their specified torque loading. Check the Camshaft end-float (see TECHNICAL DATA). If the end-float is outside this tolerance, replace the selective thrust washer.
  4. On engines equipped with an air pump: apply Permabond A138 thread locking compound to the threads of the 'V' pulley adaptor spindle, and screw into the rear of the camshaft securely. Fit the selective thrust washer over its locating dowel, and fit the rear seal housing using a new 'O' ring and oil seal. Apply Silastic RTV 732 into the inside of the 'V' pulley hub, and fit onto the adaptor spindle, ensuring that the dowel engages into the hub correctly. Fit the 'V' pulley onto the hub with the drive line inset towards the engine, fit the M8 washer and self locking nut and torque tighten (see TECHNICAL DATA). Check the camshaft end float - 0.03 - 0.20 mm (0.001 - 0.008 in.). If outside of tolerance, replace selective thrust washer.

Fit the four washers and setscrews securing the 'V' pulley to the pulley hub and tighten.

  1. Replace cam follower shims onto the ends of the valve stems, these being greased (with graphogen grease) on the valve stem side. Replace the cam followers into their respective bores in the camshaft housing, after an application of graphogen grease.
  2. In order to avoid damaging the valves when the camshaft housings are replaced, it is ESSENTIAL that the crankshaft is turned BACK approximately 90° from its TDC position, to bring the pistons half way down the cylinders. Do not turn the crankshaft more than 90° back as this may also cause the valves to be damaged.
  3. On engines up to engine number 11276, using a new gasket, which is DRY and kept FREE OF OIL, replace the camshaft housing with its securing washers and nuts. Tighten the nuts to their specified loadings diagonally outwards from the centre.

On engines from engine number 11276, and earlier engines if fitted with the later camshaft housing with a recess machined around the oil feed for an 'O' ring:

Seal between the cylinder head and cam housing with Loctite 504 gasket eliminator and an 'O' ring fitted over the roll pin dowel. Before applying new gasket eliminator ensure all old gasket eliminator is removed from the mating surfaces of the cylinder head and cam housing. Take care not to scratch sealing surfaces - use a blunt scraper such as the flat end of a steel rule. Degrease and clean the mating surfaces using methylated spirit or similar. Lay a thin continuous bead of gasket eliminator (approx 1/16 to 3/32 in. wide) in the middle of the sealing surface on the cam housing, following the outer surface around the stud holes. Fit 'O' ring on cylinder head dowel and carefully place cam housing on cylinder head studs and secure with washers and nuts. Tighten the nuts to the specified torque loading diagonally outwards from the centre.

  5. Fit the toothed belt onto the sprocket with the shafts in this position. Pull the belt sufficiently to force the pulley wheel towards the tensioner body. Remove the locking pin and release pressure on the belt. Re-check all the relative sprocket positions. Check toothed belt tension (Section EA.8.) Check ignition timing and adjust if necessary.
  6. Adjust the inlet pulley snubber (where fitted) for a clearance of 0.50 - 0.75 mm (0.020 - 0.030 in.) between the back of the toothed belt and the snubber bracket. Tighten the securing nuts via the pulley holes to 2.2 - 2.5 kg.m. (15 - 18 lbs.ft.).
  7. Replace 'V' belts and belt guard (Section EA.7.)

EA.6.-VALVE CLEARANCES

To Check

  1. Remove both camshaft covers (Section EA.4.)
  2. Turn engine until heel of camshaft is on the cam follower (of the valve to be checked). Using a feeler gauge, determine the clearance between the cam

follower and the camshaft heel. The correct clearance is given in TECHNICAL DATA.

  1. Check all valve clearances, noting any which require adjustment.

To Adjust

  1. Remove the camshafts intact in their housings. (refer to Section EA.5.)
  2. Remove each adjusting shim where the clearance requires adjustment. Substitute a shim giving the correct clearance, which has been greased on its face abuting the valve stem. ONLY use ONE shim to each valve. NOTE: A Thinner shim will increase the valve clearance, whereas a thicker shim will decrease the clearance.

  3. Replace the camshafts(Section EA.5.) after adjustment and recheck the clearance. If the clearance is still incorrect, then the whole of the above procedure MUST be carried out again.

NOTE: Do NOT turn the camshafts with No.1 piston at T.D.C., as this will cause the valves to be bent. Turn the crankshaft back through 90° to bring the pistons half-way down the cylinders. Do NOT turn the crankshaft BEYOND 90° back, as this will also cause the valves to be bent whilst the camshaft driving belt is off.

If, on the later type of camshaft housings (with 'O' ring and no gasket) the valve clearances are to be verified before application of Loctite 504 gasket eliminator, allow 0.0015 in. for this thickness.

EA.7. - TOOTHED BELT GUARD (front engined cars - early type)

To Remove

Upper Section:

  1. Release the bolt, plain and spring washer on RH side.
  2. Release bolt, plain and spring washer on inner of LH side, securing the guard to its mounting bracket.
  3. Release nyloc nut and plain washer in centre of section, taking care NOT to misplace the distance piece between guard and engine when removing the guard.

  1. Remove bolt on inlet camshaft cover, securing the belt guard bracket to the engine, and remove upper section.

Lower Section

  1. Remove the air duct from between the engine and the radiator (see Section 'K').
  2. Remove the top section of the guard.
  3. Remove the alternator drive belt and if fitted, the air conditioning compressor pump belt, and power-assisted steering pump drive belt.
  4. Release the bolt securing the guard bracket to the thermostat housing.
  5. Remove the nyloc nuts and plain washers from both sides at the bottom of the guard, taking care NOT to misplace the distance pieces (one on each stud).

To Replace

  1. Replacement of both upper and lower sections of the belt guard is a reversal of the removal instructions, NOT forgetting the distance pieces in their correct locations.

EA.8.- CAMSHAFT DRIVING BELT (TOOTHED BELT)

Prior to '86 M.Y. all engines use a trapezoidal (nearly square) tooth profile belt with originally, a manually adjusted eccentric belt tensioner, and later a semi-automatic spring loaded tensioner. 1986 M.Y. Excel and U.S.A. Turbo H.C.I. models and other engines at a later date use an H.T.D. (High Torque Drive) cam belt and pulley set, having a rounded tooth profile. A manually adjusted eccentric belt tensioner is generally used with the H.T.D. belt, and no snubbers are necessary.

TO ADJUST

Do NOT attempt to tension a hot engine. Only carry out, this adjustment at an engine (ambient) temperature of between 15° - 25°C.

Use cantilevered Burroughs Gauge T000G0025J between the auxiliary and inlet camshaft pulleys in the following manner, removing the belt guard upper section and such ancillary equipment as may be necessary to gain access.

Fully extend the hook by pushing the handle completely down before inserting the belt between the nose piece and hook, ensuring that the hook is between the belt teeth. Release the handle with a rapid action. A slow release will result in a HIGH reading owing to the small amount of internal friction present stopping the hook from fully returning. Note the indicator dial reading. Repeat action several times to 'get the feel'.

Take a further two readings at intervals of 120 crankshaft degrees, turning only in normal operating direction.

The correct belt tension setting for all engines where NO air pump is driven off the back of the belt is: 90 - 95 units, cold. (120 - 125 units hot). If the reading falls outside this range, adjust the tension as follows with No. 1 piston at TDC after rotating the crankshaft a minimum of one turn clockwise

Manual tensioner: Slacken the nut securing the pulley, and by means of the hexagon on the front of the pulley, adjust the tension of the belt. Tighten the pulley securing nut. After adjustment, re-check the tension with the Burroughs gauge.

Semi-automatic tensioner: Where no air pump is driven off the back of the toothed belt, slacken the locknut, and screw the spring seat (adjusting screw) in or out to obtain the correct Burroughs gauge reading. Tighten the locknut.

On Federal engines where an air pump is driven off the back of the toothed belt, first slacken off the air pump fixings. Screw the spring seat (adjusting screw) clockwise until only one or two threads are showing above the locknut, and tighten locknut. Tension the air pump to 5.5 kg.m (40 lbs.ft.) using special tool part number T000T0320A and a dial torque wrench. Entirely release load on air pump and then re-torque to a final tension of 2.8 kg.m (20 lbs.ft.) and tighten all air pump mountings in that position.

To Remove

  1. Remove both upper and lower sections of the belt guard (Section EA.7.) Remove all 'V' belts.

  2. Set the engine in the timing position with No. 1 piston at T.D.C. Align the timing mark on the crankshaft 'V' pulley with the mark on the front cover. At this point the marks on the camshaft sprockets should also be aligned with each other. Remove the crankshaft 'V' pulley. (Section EA.15.)

  3. Mark the position of the auxiliary shaft sprocket against the belt snubber, (or similar) as with the belt removed, the shaft will almost certainly turn, thus losing the correct ignition timing.

  4. a). Release the belt tension by releasing the securing nut on manual tensioners.
    b). On semi-automatic tensioners, release the alternator and adjusting strap if necessary to gain access to the tensioner adjusting screw.
    c). Slacken off locknut and release adjusting screw (spring seat) by turning it anti-clockwise until the adjusting screw is protruding a MAXIMUM of 12 mm ( 1/2 in) from the tensioner housing.

Unscrew to 12mm Max. only Locking Nut Adjuster Screw 4mm Locking Pin to be inserted after loosening tensioner. E145 fig. 14.

d). Force idler towards tensioner body (merely tension timing belt by hand) until groove on piston aligns with locking pin hole in housing, and insert a 4mm diameter pin. This locking pin hole may be located on the lower side of the piston bore, or on the upper side, obscured by the upper fixing bolt/nut washer, which must therefore be removed. The pin is inserted to prevent the springs pushing the assembly apart and consequently losing all the parts.

IMPORTANT: The locking pin must be fitted to the tensioner housing every time the toothed belt is being removed or slackened off. This

also applies to engines where the air pump is driven from the back of the toothed belt.

Do not under any circumstances attempt to remove locking pin from the tensioner assembly, other than when unit is installed on an engine with timing belt in position.

  1. Remove toothed belt from sprockets.

NOTE: Do NOT turn the camshafts with No.1 piston at T.D.C. as this will cause the valves to be bent. Turn the crankshaft back through 90° to bring the pistons half-way down the cylinders. Do not turn the crankshaft BEYOND 90° back whilst the camshaft driving (toothed) belt is OFF otherwise there is danger of the pistons contacting any valves which may be off their seats.

To Replace

  1. Reverse the removal procedure. Before fitting belt, ensure correct position of crankshaft, camshafts and auxiliary shaft sprocket (fig.13).

  2. After fitment, adjust belt tension, and check ignition timing. If a new belt has been fitted, run the engine for a minimum of two minutes, switch off and recheck tension.

EA.9. - DRIVING BELT TENSIONER

To Remove

Carry out the procedure detailed in SectionEA.8. for removing the camshaft drive belt, although it will not be necessary to actually remove the belt. Release the bolts or bolt and nut securing the tensioner assembly, making careful note of all the bracket positions and spacer washers. Remove the tensioner.

On some cars (i.e. air conditioned) with two bolts securing the tensioner, it may not be necessary to remove the crankshaft 'V' pulley.

To Replace

Reverse the removal procedure checking the valve timing, ignition timing and belt tension and adjusting as necessary. Adjust the auxiliary pulley snubber for a clearance of 0.4 ± 0.1 mm ( 0.016 ± 0.004 in.) between the pad and toothed belt.

To Replace

  1. Remove the cylinder liner clamps. Thoroughly clean both the cylinder block and cylinder head mating faces (use Trichlorethelene or petrol).
  2. Fit new cylinder head gasket. The gasket is fitted with 'Wellseal' applied around the periphery of both sides of the oil pressure hole.

912 Head Gasket Selection

When replacing the head gasket on a 9.44:1 CR 912 engine (ie: NOT H.C.), note the type of gasket fitted, (ie. count laminations) or the part number stamped thereon, and replace with the same type.

If the cylinder liners, crankshaft or reciprocating components have been changed, the piston standout above the liner flange must be measured. If the standout is measured at right angles to the gudgeon pin, the height on both sides of the piston must be measured and then averaged Select a gasket from the following table based on the highest standout.

  2. Check engine oil, start engine and allow to reach its normal operating temperature. Adjust slow running speed and mixture, and ignition timing. Check for oil and coolant leaks while engine is running. Thoroughly check fuel system for leaks and security of joints.

EA.11.-VALVES

To Remove

  1. Remove the cylinder head (Section EA.10.)
  2. Using a suitable valve spring compressor, compress the valve springs and extract the split collets. Release the valve spring compressor, and remove the valve spring retainer, valve springs and spring seat from each valve. Remove the valve.
  3. Repeat the process for the remaining valves. Label each valve with its location.

To Replace

  1. Check the valve seats for condition, re-cutting as necessary, and check condition of valve guides. Grind in all valves.
  2. Lightly lubricate the stem of the valve and insert into its guide.
  3. Fit spring seat, valve springs, spring retainer. Place the valve spring compressor in position and compress the valve springs sufficiently to fit the split collets. Release the valve spring compressor.
  4. Repeat the process for the remaining valves.
  5. Replace the cylinder head followed by the camshaft housings. Re-check the valve clearances.
  6. Replace ancillaries.

EA.12.-DECARBONISE CYLINDER HEAD & PISTONS

To Remove

  1. Remove cylinder head to a clean covered bench. (Section EA.10.)
  2. Remove the valves (Section EA.11.)

  3. Remove all carbon deposits from the cylinder head combustion chamber faces, inlet and exhaust ports, piston crowns and valve heads. A ring of carbon should be left around the periphery of each piston crown. The TOP of the cylinder liners should NOT be touched.

  4. Clean each valve thoroughly and carefully examine for pitting. Valves in a pitted condition should be refaced with a suitable grinder or new valves should be fitted. If the valve seats show any signs of pitting, or unevenness, they should be trued by the use of service cutting tools. When using a cutting tool take care to remove only as much metal as is necessary to ensure a true surface. The removal of too much metal could cause difficulty in achieving the required valve clearance.

  5. When grinding a valve onto its seating the valve should be smeared lightly with 'fine' or 'medium' carborundum paste and then lapped in with a suction type grinder after oiling the valve stem. Avoid the use of excessive quantities of grinding paste and ENSURE that it remains in the region of the valve seating only. A light coil spring placed under the head of the valve will assist considerably in the process of grinding. The valve should be ground to its seat with a semi-rotary motion and occasionally allowed to rise by the pressure of the light coil spring. This action assists in speeding the grinding operation until a dull, even, matt finish, free from any blemishes is achieved on the valve seat and valve face. On completion, the valve seats, guides and parts, should be cleaned with petrol then blown dry and clean with compressed air. The valves should be washed in petrol and all traces of grinding paste removed. Ensure that no grinding paste has entered the valve guides.

  6. Lightly oil the valve stems, and re-assemble the valves to cylinder head.

  7. Refit cylinder head, camshaft housings not forgetting to check the valve clearances, camshaft covers, inlet and exhaust manifolds, carburetters, etc.,

EA.13.-VALVE SEAT INSERTS

To Remove

  1. Remove the cylinder head and dismantle as for decarbonising (Section EA.12.)
  2. Remove the valve seat inserts by milling through, or almost through (dependant upon the skill of the operator), the edge of the insert, whereupon the seat should

collapse. In the case of a stubborn seat, it is permissible after milling to start the seat on its way to removal by inserting a suitable drift through the appropriate port and gently tapping the seat from its recess. Ensure that the recess in the cylinder head is ENTIRELY FREE OF FOREIGN MATTER, otherwise the new insert will NOT seat fully in the recess.

To Replace

  1. Check the combustion chamber adjacent to the respective seat for a '1', '2', or '5' stamping, (or alternatively 'C', 'D', or 'E') this indicating that an oversize valve seat was fitted in production (0.001 in, 0.002 in and 0.005 in respectively).

EA.19.-OIL FILTER

To Remove

  1. To remove the filter, use a suitable filter removal tool and turn in an anti-clockwise (towards the cylinder block) direction. Discard the filter. Ensure the oil cooler adaptor is not disturbed during this operation.

To Replace

  1. Clean the mating face on the oil pump body. Add a small amount of clean engine oil into the filter then, apply a film of engine oil to the new seal (supplied with the new filter) which is in contact with the oil pump body, locate filter on its adaptor and screw on by HAND in a clockwise direction. When the filter 'seats' continue turning the filter for a further two-thirds to three-quarters of a turn to ensure an oil tight joint.

Technical illustration of a mechanical assembly with gears and shafts (no text or symbols)

Fig. 22 - View showing oil pump, filter & ignition distributor

Where an oil cooler is fitted, ensure that the adaptor is not disturbed from its seating on the auxiliary housing during this operation.

  1. Start the engine and check for oil leaks at the filter to oil pump joint, if necessary tightening the filter further to give an oil tight joint.

All '86 Model Year and some late '85 Model Year cars are fitted with engine oil filter B907E 6000 which differs from filter A907E 6000 in the following respects:

i) Provision of 'flats' on canister to aid removal with oil filter spanner.
ii) Slightly shorter canister to provide fitting clearance for spanner.
iii) Revised end plate with less thread protrusion

In order to provide sufficient thread engagement as a result of iii above, the oil filter union extension has been increased in length by 3mm.

a) 1986 USA Turbo H.C.I. models should only be fitted with B907E 6000 due to the restricted access.
b) All other 1986 Model Year cars may be fitted with either 'A' or 'B' prefix filters.
c) ALL CARS PRIOR TO '86 M.Y. MUST BE FITTED WITH FILTER A907E 6000.

Fitment of 'B' filter to these cars may result in insufficient thread engagement with consequent danger of the filter working loose.

In order to avoid any confusion in the U.K. it is recommended that U.K. dealers stock only 'A' prefix filters which are suitable for all cars.

EA.26. - FLYWHEEL & RING GEAR (Manual Transmission)

Since shortly after its introduction, 912 engines have been fitted with a 'flexplate' flywheel' which incorporates a flat steel disc bolted to the crankshaft, the flywheel itself bolting to the outside of the disc. The disc/flywheel assembly is balanced as a unit, and the bolts securing the two parts should never be disturbed.

To Remove

  1. Remove the clutch assembly from the flywheel (see Section 'Q').
  2. Release the bolts from the centre of the flywheel and pull flywheel from its locating dowels on the crankshaft.
  3. Cut between two adjacent teeth on the ring gepr with a hacksaw and split the gear with a chisel.
    NOTE: Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES must pressure be applied in attempting to remove the gear for re-positioning the gear on the flywheel.

To Replace

  1. Check the face of the flywheel for signs of damage from the clutch driven plate. If evident, fit a new flywheel.
  2. Heat the new ring gear evenly, to a temperature NOT EXCEEDING 315°C. (600°F). Do NOT heat beyond this point, otherwise the wear resistance properties of the gear will be destroyed. Fit the gear to the flywheel with the chamfers on the leading face of the teeth relative to the normal direction of rotation. Allow the ring gear to cool naturally in the air. DO NOT QUENCH.
  3. Locate the flywheel squarely on the crankshaft flange and upon the locating dowels.
  4. Apply the Loctite 'AV' to threads in crankshaft, then insert the securing bolts and tighten to the specified torque loading (see TECHNICAL DATA).

Cross-drilled crankshafts

The 'standard' or non cross drilled crankshaft as fitted to all front engined cars prior to engine no. 23749 (March 1987) has drillings from main bearings 1,2,4 & 5 through to crankpins 1,2,3 & 4 to provide big end lubrication. Both upper and lower shells for these main bearings are provided with a hole to admit oil from a drilling in the block, and a groove to provide an oil channel around which oil may flow to the big end feed drilling in the journal.

The 'cross-drilled' crankshaft is similar in the above respect, but differs as follows: In order to permit the use of plain lower main bearing shells with their increased load bearing area, crank journals 1,2,4 & 5 are also 'cross-drilled' diametrically across from the point where the big end feed drilling emerges. One end of this cross drilling is therefore always in communication with the oil supply channel in the grooved upper main bearing shell, maintaining big end lubrication throughout 360° crankshaft rotation.

This 'cross-drilled' crankshaft is fitted to all Esprit variants from engine no. 13277 (1976), and to Excel models from engine no. 23749 (1987). It is MOST IMPORTANT to refer to the table in section TDA (N/A) or TDB (Turbo) for the correct main bearing shell configuration.

Oversize outside diameter main bearing shells

Whenever main bearing shells are to be replaced on any 907/912/910 engines, it is most important to check whether the block assembly has been bored to accept +0.015 oversize outside diameter mainbearing shells on production.

Remove the main bearing shells, refit the main bearing panel, and measure the main bearing bore diameter.

Standard bore diameter

2.6655 - 2.6660 in.

(67.704 - 67.716mm)

+0.015" O/D bore diameter

2.6805 - 2.6810 in.

(68.085 - 68.097mm)

As a cross check, look for the number stamped on the outside of any main bearing shell with a GROOVE and HOLE

'5690' = Standard Outside Diameter

'5946' = +0.015" Outside Diameter

Block assemblies bored +0.015" oversize on production are normally identified as follows:

907 Engines

'+015' stamped externally on flank at rear of main bearing housing, together with red paint.

912 and 910 Wet Sump Engines

'15' stamped on 4th or 5th main bearing 'cap' (along with another 4 or 5 digit number). Block may also be stamped in the region of engine number (above starter motor).

910 Dry Sump Engine

Stamped externally on side of M.B.P. above rear of scavenge manifold.

Undersize inside diameter shells to suit reground crankshafts are available for both standard and +0.015" overbored blocks. See Parts List.

MODIFICATION OF 910/912 MAIN BEARING PANEL, PRIOR TO ENG. NO 20875

All 912 (naturally aspirated 2.2 litre) and 910 (turbocharged 2.2 litre) engines from engine number 20875, incorporate a revised main bearing panel casting to enable the rear face of No. 5 main bearing to be fully machined in order to reduce oil drain off from the thrust washer face. This panel does not have the chamfer on No.5 main bearing as detailed below.

All engines prior to 20875 should have the following modification carried out ONLY if stripped for any other reason, and show evidence of crankshaft thrust collar wear.

1) Engines with numbers 20793 to 20874 inclusive have been modified in accordance with these instructions at the factory, together with approximately thirty engines prior to 20793. These engines require no further action but care should be taken to order the correct main bearing shells (see paragraph 3).

ii) On all unmodified engines up to No. 20793, remove the main bearing shells from the main bearing panel (M.B.P.) and modify the panel at No.5 (rear) bearing as shown in the diagram.

Using a very fine needle file, carefully form a small chamfer on the right hand corner of the bearing 'cap' from the centre to the rear edge, until the width of the chamfer is 1 - 1.5mm and is approximately 45° to the joint face. take care not to mark any other M.B.P. face with the file.

Thoroughly clean all swarf from the panel.

5mm 1.0 - 1.5mm Notch in Shell No. 5 Main Bearing Rear Face of M.B.P.

iii) On reassembly, ensure that the correct notched shell is fitted to No.5 (rear) main bearing in the panel.

Part Numbers for the notched bearing shell (ONLY fitted to No.5 bearing LOWER half) are as follows:

NOTE: Engines from Number 20875, with the revised main bearing panel (without chamfer) do not use the notched bearing shell.
NOTE: 907 (2 litre) engines use a main bearing panel similar to the revised 912 panel and are therefore unaffected by this bulletin.

  1. Ensure the correct bearing shell configuration is fitted by referring to the table in Technical Data.

Ensure that both the cylinder block and the main bearing housings are clean, then fit new bearing shells. Apply a small amount of graphogen grease to the bearing shells.

  1. Ensure that the crankshaft main journals are clean, then fit the crankshaft. Spin the crankshaft to ensure even distribution of the graphogen grease. Fit new selective thrustwashers to the rear main bearing so that the oil grooves (the 'copper' side) are towards the crankshaft. Check the end-float between the crankshaft and the thrustwashers (see TECHNICAL DATA). If the end-float is outside this tolerance, replace the selective thrust washers.
  2. Dry Sump Turbo Only: Ensure the crankshaft connecting rod journals and the connecting rods and caps are clean then fit new bearing shells. Refit the connecting rods and their caps to their respective journals after applying graphogen grease to the bearings. Tighten the bolts to their specified torque loading (see TECHNICAL DATA).

Ensure the scavenge manifold and sump ducts are fitted and the stud locknuts retained with thread locking compound and their locktabs. Insert the oil feed pipe into the block with a 'new 'O' ring fitted on its lower end. Oil the 'O' ring.

  1. Ensure all the main bearing panel to block locating dowels are in place, and clean the joint face on both parts before applying only 'WELLSEAL' (zero

clearance) compound around the periphery of the joint. Fit the main bearing housing, using a pair of nuts to pull up the joint over the dowels if necessary. Do not tap the housing, as the bearing shells may be disturbed.

  1. Fit the nuts and washers tightening the 8mm nuts first, followed by the 12mm nuts in pairs in a sequence outwards from the centre. For torque figures see Technical Data.

  2. (Not Dry Sump Turbo)

Ensure that the crankshaft connecting rod journals and the connecting rods and caps are clean, then fit new bearing shells. Refit the connecting rods and their caps to their respective journals, after applying Graphogen grease to the bearings. Tighten the bolts to their specified torque loadings (see TECHNICAL DATA).

To enable the oil pick up pipe, and the crankcase breather pipe (all 907 and early 912) to be fitted, it is necessary to remove both 12mm nuts from main bearing No. 4. Fit the breather pipe by pushing into its drilling at the rear of the MBH, and refit the 12mm nut end washer to retain. Push the oil pick up pipe into its drilling at the front of the MBH and retain with the main bearing nut and washer. Torque tighten the two main bearing nuts.

  2. Ensure spray shield is in its correct location on cylinder block and main bearing housing, with its flange positioned between the two webs on the main bearing housing. Replace the crankshaft rear oil seal (Section EA.27.)
  3. Replace the front cover, crankshaft sprocket, sump and flywheel.
  4. When a new cylinder block is being used, it will be necessary to fit the breather spout at the top of the right hand side below the inlet manifold. Fit the bush, with its flange uppermost, into its location. Tap the breather tube into the bush until approximately 25mm. (1.0 in.) is left protruding. Ensure oil gallery and water jacket plugs are also fitted.
  5. Re-assemble the gearbox to the engine, and replace engine/gearbox assembly in the car.

Fig. 32 - Using Tool T000T0012A

To Replace

  1. The liners are fitted into the cylinder block with their 'flats' in a front-to-rear line. When replacing liners in the cylinder block, they MUST FIRST be fitted clean and dry, and pushed fully into their locations. At this point, the liner 'nip' should be checked; the

'nip' is the height of the liners ABOVE the cylinder block face and the height of the liners in relation to each other (see TECHNICAL DATA).

Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with gears and rods (no text or symbols)

Fig. 33 - Using Tool T000T0003A to check cylinder liner height

  1. When liner nip is correct, withdraw the liners, apply 'Hylomar' on the liner flange to cylinder block mating face and replace liners.

  2. If replacement parts are to be fitted, ensure that the pistons and the connecting rods are both balanced sets.

Note that all 907 and standard 912/910 engines use cast iron cylinder liners with cast aluminium alloy pistons. 912/910 'high compression' engines use forged aluminium alloy cylinder liners with a 'Nikosil' coated bore, together with forged aluminium alloy pistons. The alloy liners have a larger spigot diameter and cannot be fitted to standard engines.

Pistons and liners are only supplied together as matched pairs. Two grade diameters are used, 'A' and 'B' with 'A' piston (marked as crown) fitted into 'A' liners (marked on liner top rim or on side flat) and 'B' into 'B'. Pistons are also weight graded in 3.5 gram (cast pistons) or 3.0 gram (forged pistons) increments, and are marked in the following manner: Cast pistons; coloured paint spot on crown, with corresponding initial letter(s) engraved on gudgeon pin boss underside.

Forged pistons: stamped on crown with 2+, 1+, 0, 1- or 2-. Each engine uses 4 pistons of the same weight grade but may mix 'A' and 'B' piston/liner assemblies. Similarly, connecting rods are weight graded into 2 gram matched sets, and identified by a letter code etched or painted below the forged 'FRONT' mark on the rod.

If ordering an individual connecting rod or piston/liner, the weight grade symbols must be quoted.

Fit each connecting rod to its piston with both 'front' marks facing the same way (forged pistons have arrow stamped on crown pointing forwards) and install the gudgeon pin and circlips.

i) Fit the oil control rings: 907/910/912 Std: The oil control rings consist of an expander ring and two steel rails which are fitted above and below the expander ring. They MUST always be fitted BEFORE the compression rings, working downwards from the piston crown. Fit the expander ring on the piston and ensure that the coloured ends are butting. Fit one end of a steel rail into the groove below the expander ring, holding the rail end with a thumb whilst easing the rail over the piston and into its location, and repeat to fit the other steel rail above the expander. Position the gaps in the two rails, 25mm each side of the expander gap.

912/910 'HC': Fit the expander spring first, followed by the one piece oil control ring, and position the ends of each to be diametrically opposite

ii) Fit the lower compression ring: 907: The step on the outer edge is lowermost 912/910 Std: The chamfer on the inner edge is uppermost. 912/910 'HC': The face is tapered towards the side of the ring marked 'TOP'.
iii) Fit the chrome plated top compression ring 907: May be fitted either way up 912/910 Std: The chamfer on the inner edge is uppermost 912/910 'HC': May be fitted either way up
iv) Position the oil control ring gap to the rear, and the two compression ring gaps 120° to either side.

Running In:

When new rings, or piston/liner sets have been fitted, the running-in period must be 800 kilometres (500 miles), (see Section 'O').

  1. Using a piston ring compressor, insert the piston into the liner with the 'FRONT' mark towards the front of the cylinder block. Fit cylinder liner clamps after replacing the pistons in the liners.
  2. Fit new bearing shells to both connecting rod caps securing with their bolts. Tighten all bolts to the specified torque loading (see TECHNICAL DATA).
  3. Replace the oil sump.
  4. Replace the cylinder head, after removing the cylinder liner clamps.
  5. Replace engine/gearbox assembly (Section EA.25.)

EA.30.- CONNECTION OF OIL COOLER THERMOSTAT

Oil cooler thermostats are fitted to late dry sump Turbos and all wet sump Turbos prior to 1986.

Early wet sump cars are fitted with thermostat A910E6550F having 4 5/8" BSP connections, whilst all other cars have thermostat A082E6016F, with 3 x 5/8" BSP connections and 1 x 3/4 " BSP connection.

The large 3/4 " BSP connection is always the inlet connection from the engine, ie from either the scavenge pump (dry sump) or upper connection on oil filter sandwich plate (wet sump)

Thermostats with 4 x 5/8" BSP connections must be viewed down each port and the diagram used below to identify the connections.

EA.31.-LUBRICATION SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS

In the event of engine failure involving the possibility of debris entering the lubrication system, it is essential that the following precautions are taken before re-assembly:

i Clean and inspect all engine oilways inblock, crankshaft, cylinder head etc.
ii) Clean and inspect oil pump, pick up pipe and strainer and auxiliary housing.
iii) On 'dry sump' Turbo models, clean and inspect the oil tank and strainer.
iv) Thoroughly flush out oil cooler hoses and clean and inspect oil cooler thermostat.
v) In view of the difficulty of ensuring no debris is retained in the oil cooler, this item must always be replaced in such circumstances.

OperationPage
Engine Control ComponentsEMA.12/3
Engine Management System Check/Set Up ProcedureEMA.23 to 8
Engine Diagnostic ProcedureEMA.39 to 23

Located beneath front of plenum chamber. Function is to advance ignition on operation of choke. A micro-switch operated by the dashboard end of the choke cable (which also operates the choke tell tale lamp) energises the ignition solenoid. The signal to the distributor vacuum advance capsule (normally connected to No. 1 cylinder throttle edge drilling) is then switched to the vacuum pump, and thus full ignition advance is achieved, together with an increase in engine idle speed.

Fuel Pressure Solenoid

Located beneath rear of plenum chamber. Function is to reduce fuel pressure on 'overun' and idle. A micro-switch, mounted on the front of the front carburettor, and operated by the throttle lever in its fully closed position, energises the fuel pressure solenoid. The signal to the fuel pressure regulator (normally connected to boost pressure in the plenum chamber) is then switched to No. 1 cylinder inlet manifold depression, thus reducing fuel pressure to the carburettors and mixture strength under closed throttle 'overun' conditions.

Throttle Jack Solenoid

Located on the front of the front carburettor. Function is to increase engine idle speed when engine is cold or air conditioning switched on, and also to open throttle on hot start cranking mode. A thermostatic switch fitted into the rear of the inlet manifold water rail, makes contact at water temperature below 70° C, and energises the throttle jack solenoid. To aid cold starting the solenoid is de-energised whilst in the cranking mode. At water temperature above 70° C, the solenoid is energised ONLY whilst cranking to aid hot starting. The solenoid is also energised when the ACU is switched on.

Air Pump & Divertor Valve

The air pump is mounted on the rear of the engine and driven by 'V' belt from the exhaust camshaft. The divertor valve is fitted on the outside of the engine bay left hand wall.

Their function is to provide additional air into either the exhaust ports, or the exhaust catalyst, and reduce engine emissions.

The air pump draws air from a filter located on the right hand rear wheel arch and supplies it to the divertor valve. The divertor valve is spring loaded so as to supply air to the exhaust ports via a non-return valve, and air injection manifold.

When engine coolant temperature reaches 70° C, a solenoid on the divertor valve is energised, and connects a diaphragm chamber on the valve with vacuum supplied by the engine driven pump. This vacuum is used to overcome spring pressure and divert air flow via a non return valve to the exhaust catalyst.

Evaporative Control System

Fuel vapour from the fuel tanks is piped into the catch tank, in which the vapour condenses into liquid fuel and residual vapour. The level of liquid fuel in the catch tank is controlled by the catch tank inlet tube. Any increase in level above this tube and the fuel is induced back into the main tanks. The vapour outlet pipe from the catch tank is routed via a rollover valve to connection 'T' on the vapour (charcoal) canister.

With the ignition switched off, the carburettors are vented via the plenum chamber and carb. vent valve to connection 'C' on the vapour canister. When the ignition is switched on, the carb vent valve solenoid is energised and the pipe is sealed.

The purge connection on the vapour canister (port 'P') is piped to a venturi 'T' piece fitted between the air pump and filter. In this way, when the engine is running air is drawn in through the bottom of the canister, to replace gasoline vapours consumed by the air pump and fed into the exhaust system for oxidation.

COLD Engine

  1. Switch on ignition and check that fuel pressure at fuel regulator gauge is to specification 4.0 - 4.5 p.s.i. - if outside specification contact the Service Department of Lotus Performance Cars, L.P.; 530 Walnut Street, Norwood, New Jersey 07648, quoting VIN and engine numbers.

  2. Fully operate choke, open throttle fully and release. Start engine and check the following.

i). Vacuum at pump gauge. Minimum = 20" Hg.

ii). Vacuum at ignition solenoid gauge. Minimum 20" Hg.

iii). Position of diffuser flap valve. Should be fully open.

iv). Engine speed rises to approximately 2,500 rpm.

  1. Return choke fully after 20 - 100 seconds (dependant on temperature) and adjust idle speed at the throttle lever on the front of the carburettors, bearing on the throttle jack solenoid, to 1000 rpm (basic setting).

ACU throttle jack solenoid Micro switch TO ENGINE Throttle jack idle speed adjusting screw

VIEW FROM FRONT

Disconnect the hose to the air rail pulse valve and check that air is supplied from the hose and reconnect hose.

When a water temperature of 70° C is attained, check that the throttle jack solenoid is deactivated and switches out and check that the air supply to the injection rail hose ceases by temporarily disconnecting hose to the air rail pulse valve. (i.e. air supply is diverted to catalyst).

Allow engine to reach normal running temperature i.e. oil and coolant should be stabilised.

  1. i). Adjust idle speed to 950 ± 50 rpm.

ii). Adjust ignition timing to 1° BTDC ± 1° .

iii). Check carburettor balance at manometer. Check that all 4 columns are balanced within 3mm, if not re-balance the carburettors. (see Carburettor Balancing Procedure).

iv). Check fuel pressure at the regulator - this should be lower than 3.5 psi at idle. If the pressure is higher the micro switch position on the front carb bracket will require adjustment. Rotate the switch down towards the lever until switch contact is made. Manifold pressure will now be connected to the fuel regulator via the regulator solenoid.

  1. Mixture setting - with the carbs balanced and rpm and fuel pressure set, the idle mixture can be sampled and adjustment made if required.

i). Switch analyser to sample mode and check readings.

NOTE: Do not touch idle adjustment screws until CO reading has stabilised. The carburettors have been flow tested and only minor adjustment will be required, if any.

ii). CO reading should be within 0.2 to 1.2%. If higher or lower levels are found, remove anti-tamper plugs and move each mixture screw a 1/4 of a turn in or out as the reading dictates, check the CO reading and repeat until the tune specification is reached. A balance between CO and HC is required and the hexane level should be below 550 ppm for a 'new engine' and below 350 ppm for a run-in engine. When adjustment is complete fit anti-tamper plugs.

  1. Fuel regulator micro switch - with the switch set at idle and fuel pressure recorded as in operation 5, open throttle to 2500 rpm and then return throttle to idle position. Check that when the engine speed is above 1800 rpm, the micro switch is deactivated allowing fuel pressure to increase to 4.0 - 5.0 psi. Repeat this test and check that pressure differences are maintained.

NOTE (1). Failure to change pressure is a serious malfunction. Check pipework and electrical circuit for defects. Rework the defective items before further testing.

(2). The throttle will be delayed in returning to the idle position due to the action of the damper valve (see number 8).

  1. Damper valve - with adjustments 1-7 carried out the throttle damper can now be adjusted. With the engine at idle rpm rotate the damper until a distance between damper body and lever is 0.55 ± .05 in. Lock up the retaining nut, open throttle to 2500 rpm and release. Idle rpm should be attained within 0.8 to 2.0 seconds.

  1. ACU throttle jack solenoid - with adjustments 1 - 8 carried out, switch on air conditioning and then disconnect red wire from compressor where it joins the pink/blue at the right hand front of the engine bay. Note engine rpm.

Initial adjustment was completed in paragraph 4. The engine speed should rise to 1100 rpm ( ± 25 rpm). If further adjustment is required, adjust on the front carburettor lever. After completion, reconnect compressor lead.

  1. Flap valve actuator - with all adjustments completed switch off engine and check that the diffuser flap valve closes fully within 15 secs.

  2. Hot restart - crank over engine and check that the throttle jack solenoid is operating in the cranking mode.

  3. To check maximum vacuum from vacuum pump, clamp off the vacuum hose at air box to 'T'-connection and note increase in pump vacuum. This should rise by approximately 3" Hg.

  4. On completion disconnect pressure test gauge kit from components and re-connect fuel and vacuum pipes securely. When connecting vacuum pipes spray connections with a "silicone" aerosol and push on connections firmly. Disconnect manometer, remove balancing tubes and replace vacuum tapping screws securely. Fit new anti-tamper plugs to both throttle coupling screws, 4 balancing screws and 4 mixture screws.

SUB GROUP 'A' - Intake Manifold Leaks & Air Filter Inspection

  1. Check for air leaks at the carburettor to manifold joint.

The spacer plates and 'O' rings used at this joint act as insulators to absorb vibration and prevent frothing of fuel in the float chambers. It is essential that the carburettor mountings are not overtightened, as the 'O' rings may be displaced with a resultant air leak.

A uniform gap between spacer plate and carburettor, and between spacer plate and inlet manifold must be maintained as shown below.

carb/spacer plate = 2.2 mm (0.090") spacer plate/manifold 1.9 mm (0.075")

  1. Check for air leaks at carburettor balance pipe connections, and at cold start air intake pipe connections to carbs and diffuser.

Check torque of banjo bolts : 2.2 kgf.m (16 lbf.ft)

Check for air leaks

  1. Check for air leaks at the inlet manifold to cylinder head joint.
  2. Check for air leak from inlet manifold pressure take off adaptor (no. 1 cylinder) and for leak or disconnection of pipe from adaptor to fuel pressure regulator solenoid.
  3. Inspect the air filter element.

Release the filter cover from the engine bay wall, leave the hoses attached and pull open. Remove the cleaner element and inspect condition.

If necessary, remove the rubber seal, and discard the element. Ensure the seal is in good condition (replace if necessary) and fit in position on the new element.

Note: The seal joint must be at the centre top. Clean the inside of the air cleaner body and cover, keeping dust out of the intake trunking. Fit new element with its metal face towards the carburettors and replace cover.

Air Filter Element

A). Check for a spark at each plug lead. If all are sparking, remove plugs and check condition. If serviceable, clean and gap to 0.9 mm (0.035"). Before replacing plugs, check cylinder compressions as (B). If no spark at leads, proceed as TEST 1.

SUB GROUP C - Cold Start System Maladjustment

  1. Check that operation of the choke control results in full travel of the carburettor cold start levers.

With the choke control in the 'off' position both carb levers should contact their closed 'stops' on the carburettor tops. With the choke control operated fully, check that both levers are against their fully open stops. Adjust the choke cable at the carburettor, and linkage if necessary.

CHOKE FULLY OPEN STOP CHOKE FULLY CLOSED STOP

SUB GROUP D - Check Cam Timing

  1. Turn the engine to No. 1 cylinder TDC with the camshaft toothed pulley timing marks facing EACH OTHER innermost.

Note: The engine may beset at TDC by reference to the timing marks on the flywheel, and pointer located at the top of the clutch housing, as shown.

  1. Check that the pulley dots (red on inlet, green on exhaust) are aligned with a line through the camshaft pulley centres. These dots may be viewed from either the front side (using a mirror) or the rear side.

If the engine is running, the rear side of the pulleys may be viewed with a stroboscope set at TDC or No. 1 cylinder.

Note: It is most important that each camshaft toothed pulley is fitted the correct way round, i.e. 'IN' facing forward on inlet camshaft and 'EX' facing forward on exhaust camshaft. Marks on the reverse side of the pulley will be reversed.

Switch on ignition and check fuel pressure = 4.0 - 4.5 p.s.i. If outside specification, remove anti-tamper plug from fuel pressure regulator adjustment screw, and adjust as necessary.

If the pressure reading is too high, and cannot readily be adjusted to specification, a restriction in the return line is indicated. Rectify as necessary.

If the pressure reading is too low, and cannot readily be adjusted to specification, a restriction in the supply line, or faulty fuel pump is indicated.

Check for an unrestricted supply to the fuel pump, and for fuel filter restriction. Test fuel pump

  1. Start engine and allow to reach normal running temperature.

Check fuel pressure at the regulator. This should be lower than 3.5 p.si. at idle (950 ± 50 rpm). If above specification, check that the micro-switch on the front of the front carburettor is activated. If not, rotate the switch down towards the lever until switch contact is made.

View from front

SECTION Micro-switch TO ENGINE

If switch adjustment is carried out, open throttle to 2500 rpm and then return throttle to idle position. Check that when engine speed is above 1800 rpm, the micro-switch is deactivated allowing fuel pressure to increase to 4.0 - 5.0 p.s.i. Repeat this test and check that pressure differences are maintained. Adjust switch position if necessary but always ensure that idle pressure requirements are met.

If switch contact is made at idle, but fuel pressure remains above 3.5 p.s.i, check fuel pressure regulator solenoid pipework and wiring for leakage or disconnection. If no fault is found, replace fuel pressure regulator solenoid valve.

  1. If pressures are found to be correct, remove carburettor tops and check fuel inlet filters, cleaning if necessary. Remove float needle valves and inspect seating. Replace if necessary. Check float height setting = 14.5 - 15.0 mm.

  1. Remove anti-tamper plugs to gain access to the throttle coupling and balancing screws.
    Ensure that all balancing screws are closed. (do not graunch).
  2. Whilst maintaining idle speed, adjust throttle coupling screws to balance lower of columns 1, 2 with lower of column 3, 4.
    NOTE: Ensure that both clamping screws on the balance lever are in secure contact with the balance arm.
  3. Considering the carburettor barrels in pairs (1, 2 and 3,4) note which of the two mercury columns for each pair is higher and gradually move only the corresponding balancing screw until the two mercury columns of each pair are balanced within 3mm. Maintain correct idle speed and ensure that all 4 mercury columns are within 3mm.
  4. On completion disconnect manometer and remove balancing tubes and replace vacuum tapping screws securely. Fit new anti-tamper plugs to both throttle coupling screws, 4 balancing screws and 4 mixture screws.

Ensure that fuel pipe connections are secure.

  1. Fit exhaust probe to exhaust outlet pipe of turbocharger and connect to CO/HC analyser (e.g. Sun EPA 75 or equivalent).

Exhaust probe connection

Start engine and allow to reach normal running temperature i.e. oil and coolant temperatures stabilised.

  1. Switch analyser to sample mode and check readings.

Note: Do not touch idle adjustment screws until CO reading has stabilised.

CO reading should be between 0.2 - 1.2%. If higher or lower levels are found ensure carburettors are balanced (see Sub Group F) before continuing.

Remove anti-tamper plugs and move each mixture screw 1/4 of a turn in or out as the reading dictates. Check the CO reading and repeat procedure until correct specification is achieved. A balance between CO and HC is required, and the Hexane level should be below 550 ppm for a 'new' engine and below 350 ppm for a 'run-in' engine.

  1. When adjustment is complete, fit anti-tamper plugs.

  1. In order to test correct operation of the thermal switch, sufficient coolant must first be drained from the cooling system to permit the removal of the switch from the rear of the inlet manifold.
  2. Place the switch bulb in a pan of water, with a battery and bulb connected across the switch terminals and a thermometer measuring water temperature. Heat the water and check make and break temperatures meet specification.

SUB GROUP J - Battery Re-charging Procedure

Instructions for Tungstone Powermaster Maintenance Free Batteries.

To determine the state of charge of the battery, apply a brief discharge of no more than ten seconds duration (e.g. turn on headlights) with the engine off, and then allow to stand on open circuit for two to three minutes.

Measure the terminal voltage of the battery.

If steady voltage is below 12.4 Volts, recharge battery as follows.

Note: The battery must not be boost charged.

If necessary, fit a replacement battery to the vehicle, whilst original battery is charged as follows.

Remove battery from vehicle.

a). Constant Current: The battery must be charged at a maximum of 5 amps until the battery terminal voltage (on charge) has stabilised over a one hour period, at which time the voltage will be in the range 16.0 - 16.5 V. At this stage the battery must be taken off charge IMMEDIATELY, to prevent excess gassing with resulting water loss which will ultimately reduce the guaranteed service life.
b). Constant Voltage: The battery may be charged at a voltage up to a maximum of 15.8V providing the current is carefully monitored and the charge terminated when the current has tapered off and changes by less than 0.1 amp over a period of one hour. If it is not possible to monitor the current during charging, then the voltage must be restricted to 14.4 V maximum.

EMC.2. - THERMAL IGNITION ADVANCE

The thermal ignition advance system is designed to provide maximum ignition advance at low engine temperature to aid cold driveability and increase idle speed.

The distributor is fitted with a double sided vacuum advance capsule, one side of which is permanently connected to the plenum chamber (boost pressure). The opposite side of the capsule is connected, via the Thermal Ignition Valve (T.I.V.) and Ignition Solenoid Valve (I.S.V.) to either the vacuum pump or throttle edge drilling.

The T.I.V. is fitted into the centre of the inlet manifold water rail, and at coolant temperatures below 60°C, connects ports 'D' and '1'. Above 60°C, ports 'D' and '2' are connected.

The I.S.V. is mounted on top of the right hand fuel tank board and is controlled by a thermal switch fitted into the thermostat housing outlet pipe at the front of the engine bay. At coolant temperatures below 70°C (on rise) the I.S.V. is energised and connects ports '2' and '3'. Above 70°C the solenoid is de-energised and connects ports '1' and '3'.

The I.S.V. is de-energised during engine cranking regardless of coolant temperature.

Vacuum Circuits

Water Temp: inlet manifold below 60°C

At coolant temperatures (inlet manifold) below 60°C, the T.I.V. and (energised) I.S.V. direct a vacuum pump signal to the distributor advance capsule to provide over 30°C ignition advance to aid cold driveability and increase idle speed.

EMC.3. - CRANKCASE BREATHER VALVE

A one way breather valve is connected between the crankcase breather spigot at the rear of the block, and the airbox. Crankcase emissions developed during normal running are able to vent through the one way valve into the airbox.

In order to prevent these fumes, under low airflow engine idle conditions, escaping through the inlet trunking to atmosphere the valve is also connected via a small bore hose to the carburettors. This enables the small quantity of crankcase fumes at idle to pass directly into the carburettors and intake tract and suppresses opening of the breather valve.

The carburation is calibrated to compensate for this degree of airflow by-passing the venturis.

A one way (non-return) valve is fitted between the breather valve and carbs. to prevent reverse flow when boost pressure exceeds crankcase pressure. The black side of the valve must be fitted towards the carburettors.

EMC.4. - COLD ENRICHMENT THERMAL VALVE

The cold enrichment thermal valve is designed to enrich fuelling at low engine temperatures to improve driveability.

The valve is fitted into the rear of the inlet manifold water rail. Port 'D' is connected with port '1' at coolant temperatures below 53°C and with port '2' above 53°.

The small bore crankcase breather pipe between breather valve and carburettors is connected to the thermal valve via ports 'D' and '2', with port '1' being blanked off. Thus at low engine temperature, the breather circuit to the carbs is shut off, and enriched fuelling results from the decrease in calibrated airflow past the throttle plates. At higher temperatures the breather line is restored and fuelling returns to normal.

EMC.5. - PLENUM PURGE

The purge pump is designed to induce ambient air into the carburettor plenum chamber of a hot engine when switched off. This improves hot starting of the engine.

The pump is fitted on the tailgate aperture R.H. support bracket, behind the quarter window trim panel in the rear luggage compartment, and is operative only when the ignition is switched off. A thermal switch in the thermostat outlet pipe (also used for the ignition solenoid valve) energises the purge pump at water temperatures above 70°C (on rise) until coolant temperature falls to 60°C.

A solenoid valve mounted just below the purge pump, is energised with the ignition on, to shut off the purge line, and prevent boost pressure blowing off through the pump.

EMC.6. - THROTTLE JACK SOLENOID

The throttle jack solenoid is designed to

i) prevent complete throttle closure on overrun to reduce emissions and inhibit stalling.
ii) increase idle speed when the choke control is operated iii) maintain idle speed when the air conditioning (if fitted) is operating

The solenoid is fitted to the front of the front carburettor and operates a lever attached to the front end of the throttle spindle.

The solenoid is energised under any of the following conditions:

a) Above engine speed of 1400 rpm on fall (1600 rpm on rise) as sensed by the engine speed sensing relay, to prevent complete throttle closure on overrun to reduce hydrocarbon emissions and inhibit stalling. The relay is mounted on the wheelarch alongside the R.H. rear of the engine bay.
b) When the choke control is operated, to increase idle speed. The choke micro-switch is integral with the choke cable assembly at the fascia end, and is also used to operate the choke tell tale. This switch operates a throttle jack relay located adjacent to the engine speed sensing relay.
c) When the air ocditioning (if fitted) compressor is operating, in order to maintain idle speed.

To set up: With the engine at normal running temperature, without the air conditioning switched on, check/adjust idle speed at the normal stop screw on the front of the rear carburettor. Correct setting 850-950 rpm.

Energise the solenoid with 12 volts and adjust the lever screw (against which the solenoid button operates) to obtain an engine speed of 1200 rpm and then de-energise.

Test each of the three activating systems and observe the action of the solenoid.

EMC.7. - OVERBOOST SWITCH

The overboost switch is fitted to safeguard the engine against excessive boost pressure in the event of wastegate failure by cutting out the ignition.

The switch is mounted on the right hand fuel tank board and is connected to the crankcase breather bleed/cold enrichment system in order to monitor the boost pressure signal downstream of the throttle butterflies. If a pressure greater then 0.71 bar (10.5 lb/in²) is sensed, the switch cuts out the feed to the ignition coil.

EMC.8. IDLE SPEED & IGNITION TIMING SETTING PROCEDURE

i) Ignition Timing Initial Setting:

If the engine has been rebuilt, or the distributor replaced, an initial setting of the ignition timing must be made to enable the engine to run. Set the crankshaft to 10° BTDC using the timing marks on the flywheel and clutch housing with the rotor arm pointing towards no.1 terminal on the distributor cap. Pull off the rotor arm and plastic shield and turn the distributor body to align the pick up sensor with the adjacent projection on the reluctor (equivalent to the cam on a contact breaker system). The engine may now be started and run up to normal operating temperature.

Initial Ignition Timing Setting

ii) Check/Adjust Ignition Timing:

Start the engine and run up to normal operating temperature to ensure the T.I.V. switches the distributor capsule to the throttle edge port.

Using a stroboscope, check/adjust the ignition timing to 10° BTDC at hot idle. Timing marks are provided on the flywheel rim, with an aperture and pointer in the top of the clutch housing, adjacent to the starter motor. Pull out the protective grommet, and refit after adjustment.

To check the centrifugal advance operation, first disconnect and plug, or clamp off the vacuum hose from the distributor capsule.

Check centrifugal advance characteristics are as follows:

iii) Check/Adjust Idle Speed:

Start engine and run up to normal operating temperature.

Check that the air conditioning (if fitted) is switched off.

Adjust idle speed, at the stop screw, on the front of the rear carburettor, to 900 ± 50 rpm.

Use the cable adjuster at the anchor bracket on the cam cover to remove throttle cable slack, and then with the aid of an assistant check that full throttle can be achieved. The throttle pedal downstop should be adjusted such that the carburettor throttle levers may be held against their full throttle stops without allowing the cable to be overstrained.

To adjust throttle jack solenoid, see EMC.6.

EMD.2. - THERMAL IGNITION ADVANCE

The thermal ignition advance system is designed to aid driveability and idle speed when cold and light load economy when warm.

The distributor is fitted with a vacuum advance capsule connected via the Thermal Ignition Valve (T.I.V.) to either one of two pressure sensing ports on the carburettors. The T.I.V. is fitted into the centre of the inlet manifold water rail and senses engine coolant temperature.

At coolant temperatures below 60°C, the T.I.V. connects port 'D' (connected to distributor) to port '1' (connected to carburettor ports downstream of throttle plates) to direct an inlet manifold depression signal to the distributor capsule. This provides over 30° ignition advance at cold idle to raise idle speed and improve driveability.

At coolant temperatures above 60°C the T.I.V. connects port 'D' with port '2' (connected to throttle edge drilling on carburettor barrel no. 1) to provide ignition advance at part throttle for improved light load economy.

The carburation is calibrated to compensate for this degree of airflow by-passing the venturis.

EMD.4. - COLD ENRICHMENT THERMAL VALVE

The cold enrichment thermal valve is designed to enrich fuelling at low engine temperatures to improve driveability.

The valve (brown) is fitted into the rear of the inlet manifold water rail. Port 'D' is connected with port '1' at coolant temperatures below 35°C and with port '2' above 35°C.

The small bore crankcase breather pipe between breather valve and carburettors is connected to the thermal valve via ports 'D' and '2', with port '1' being blanked off. Thus at low engine temperature, the breather circuit to the carbs is

shut off, and enriched fuelling results from the decrease in calibrated airflow past the throttle plates. At higher temperatures the breather line is restored and fuelling returns to normal.

EMD.5. - PLENUM PURGE

The purge pump is designed to induce ambient air into the carburettor plenum chamber of a hot engine when switched off. This improves hot starting of the engine.

SECTION EMD

ATC Flap Valve/ Intake Hose/ Sidewall Interface

p Valve/ ose/ Interface Engine Bay Wall Hose Clip Adaptor ATC Divertor Flap Unit Grommet Grommet Securing Ring Intake Trunking to Silencer

The ATC flap valve unit consists of a vacuum diaphragm operated flap mounted on the inlet of the carburettor airbox, controlling the air supply thereto. At moderate ambient temperatures the airbox is supplied with cool air from the rear luggage compartment via the intake silencer. In cold ambient conditions, when air temperature inside the carburettor airbox is below 20°C, the ATC flap valve is moved to admit a proportion of warm air drawn from a shroud around the exhaust downpipe. The colder the airbox temperature, the greater the proportion of warm air directed to the airbox.

The ATC sensor mounted by a rubber grommet into the bottom of the airbox is a thermostatically controlled vacuum proportion valve connected between the carburettor ports downstream of the throttle plates, and the ATC flap valve. At airbox temperatures above 20°C the valve is shut, but at lower temperatures a proportion of the inlet manifold depression is directed to the ATC flap valve to open the warm air supply. The sensor connection with the larger hole must be connected to the flap valve.

Connect to carb. ports Connect to flap valve

To check that the system is functioning correctly, disconnect the cold air supply trunking from the flap valve and use a mirror to establish the flap position at warm and cold ambient conditions. The flap valve itself may be tested by applying vacuum directly to its vacuum capsule:

more than 100 mm Hg - warm air supply fully open less than 30 mm Hg - warm air supply fully closed.

The transmission is a single unit comprising a manual 5-speed, all indirect gearbox with integral final drive unit, and the clutch bellhousing containing the clutch release mechanism.

The gearbox has five forward gears, all equipped with syncromesh, and a reverse gear of the spur gear type.

A clutch shaft transmits the drive from the clutch to the gearbox primary shaft, which is supported by a ball bearing at its front and a double ball bearing at the rear. The primary shaft carries the 3rd/4th synchroniser assembly, and on its overhung rear end, the 5th gear synchroniser assembly. The lower, secondary, shaft incorporates the final drive pinion gear on its front end, is supported by a roller bearing at the front, and a double ball bearing at the rear, and carries the 1st/2nd synchroniser assembly. A reverse idler gear on a separate spindle may be engaged with spur gears integral with the primary shaft and with the 1st/2nd synchroniser assembly.

The final drive assembly is contained between the clutch housing and gearbox. Two short output shafts supported by their own housings, bolted to each side of the transmission, use a double ball bearing on their outboard ends, and a taper roller bearing at the inboard ends, where they carry the crownwheel and differential assembly.

Four selector shafts across the top of the gearbox, control 1st/2nd, 3rd/4th 5th and reverse gears and are operated by a cross shaft which may be rotated and moved axially by the remote gear lever.

'C35' Introduction

In early 1984, the 'C35' type gearbox assembly was introduced. This differs only in detail from the earlier type, with most internal components being unchanged or improved and directly interchangeable with the earlier part. See parts list for details.

All Esprit gearboxes are stamped with a Lotus serial number, repeated on its matched clutch housing. All gearboxes stamped with a 'C' prefix to the serial number are type C35.

Gearboxes with the following serial numbers (without 'C' prefix) are also type C35.

2914to2920
2954to2974
3023and3024
3028to3029
3044to3152

All numbers are inclusive and are to be found on the top front of the gearbox and adjacent surface of the clutch housing.

Drain and Level Plug

C35 type gearboxes have only one oil drain plug which is situated beneath the main case. They are not fitted with the additional rear case drain plug as used on previous type gearboxes.

The oil level plug (painted yellow) is fitted in the left hand side of the case, as before, and should not be confused with a similar plug (blanking) positioned higher up on the same side of the gearbox.

The different rear cover shape necessitates a revised silencer mounting bracket and the clutch release bearing assembly on Series 3 cars is changed. See Parts List for details.

FB.1. - GEARSHIFT LEVER AND GEAR CHANGE LINKAGE

The gearshift lever operation controls two functions on the gearbox cross-shaft; movement of the lever forward and backward moves the cross-shaft radially and movement from side-to-side moves the cross-shaft across the gearbox.

When the cross-shaft is in an out of gear position the gearshift lever will take up a neutral centre position in the gate, held there by springs on the gearbox cross-shaft.

The tubular linkage transmits fore-aft movement of the gear lever into radial movement of the gearbox cross shaft. Crossgate movement of the gearlever is translated into axial cross shaft motion by a bowden cable connected between a bellcrank on the gearshift assembly and a bellcrank on the gearbox casing.

To Remove

  1. Remove the centre tunnel top assembly.
  2. Unscrew the six screws securing the cover plate covering the recess in the chassis, which contains the gearshift assembly.
  3. Remove the spirol pin connecting the bowden cable to the cross-gate lever clevis on the gear shift lever assembly.
  4. Unscrew the four bolts holding down the gearshift lever assembly to the chassis.
  5. Lift the assembly sufficiently to enable the front linkage tube to be disconnected from the lever assembly.
  6. Release the front tube from the relay lever, and withdraw tube from chassis. Release rear tube from relay lever and cross shaft lever.
  7. Remove the spring clip and clevis pin, securing the crossgate cable extension to the crossgate bellcrank lever. Remove the nut and washer securing the crossgate cable to the bellhousing.
  8. To the gear lever end of the cable, attach a wire pull through to aid reassembly. Remove the nut and washer securing the cable in the gear shift lever recess, and withdraw cable.

To Replace

Reverse the removal procedure, noting the following points:

  1. When fitting the crossgate cable at its front end into the chassis abutment, ensure that the two cable nuts with shakeproof washers, are locked in a position such that the minimum amount of outer cable protrudes forwards of the front lock nut. Otherwise, contact with the gearlever bellcrank lever may baulk selection of fifth and reverse gears.

  2. On cars with a 0.86:1 ratio relay lever, ensure that the longest arm of the lever is positioned uppermost. Later cars have a 1:1 relay lever.

Adjustment

Tube Linkage Basic Setting:

With the linkage connected, and the transmission in neutral, check the position of the relay lever on the RH engine mounting leg. The lever should be vertical, or leaning very slightly backwards at the top. If necessary, disconnect the rear tube from the relay lever, and adjust length to suit. Tighten the locknut after adjustment, but before reconnecting to relay lever, check that full travel of the gear lever both fore and aft provides movement at the relay lever exceeding that required by the rear tube for complete selection of gears.

Crossgate Cable Basic Setting:

The crossgate cable, outer casing should be fitted at its rear end into the clutch housing abutment with the adjustment at its mid position. Tighten the locknuts.

With the transmission in neutral and the cable connected, check the position of the gear lever. The lever should be vertical or leaning very slightly to the right. If necessary, disconnect the cable extension rod from the cross shaft bellcrank lever and after slackening the locknut, screw the extension rod on or off the cable to achieve the correct setting. Tighten locknut.

Before finally connecting extension rod to the bellcrank lever, check that full travel of the gear lever side to side provides movement of the extension rod exceeding that required by the bellcrank for full axial cross shaft movement.

NOTE: On cars up to 1983 fitted with a 240 mm crossgate cable extension rod, a special stiffening locknut (A082F4066F) may be fitted in place of the plain nut to increase stiffness of the crossgate cable.

Later cars, and Federal cars have a shorter crossgate cable and 442 mm extension rod.

  9. Fit the 5th gear pinion (b) with the small shoulder on the pinion against the double bearing.
  10. Using spanner T000T0617, Lock the shaft and tighten the threaded speedometer drive wheel (A) to a torque of 20 to 22 kgf.m (145 to 160 lbf .ft). If both shafts are fitted, then the shafts can be locked by selecting the reverse gear and any other gear. Do not lock nut at this stage.
  11. Before fitting the primary shaft and covers to the gearbox, check the pinion cone setting as detailed in "Adjustments".

Adjustments

On the ground face of the bevel pinion is engraved a figure in millimetres. This figure represents the distance, which must be maintained after adjustment, between the differential centre line and the ground face of the bevel pinion.

This distance is different for each bevel pinion and is checked using the distance gauge fixture T000T0616 fitted with dial gauge T000T0615. The fixture is designed so that the distance between the centre line of the ground contact faces (drive shaft bearing surfaces) and the faces of the probes is 60 mm. This figure is engraved on the fixture between the probes.

  1. First calibrate the fixture.

(a). Clean the bearing surfaces and the ground contact faces of the fixing.
(b). Place the fixture on a surface plate.
(c). Zero the dial gauge with the large needle on 0.
(d). Note the position of the totalising needle.

Totalising needle between 4 and 5.

Large needle at 0.

  1. Offer the fixture up to the bearing surfaces of the drive shafts with the dial gauge stem not in contact with the ground face of the bevel pinion, unlock the gauge stem.
  2. Rotate the fixture in the bearing surfaces, so the gauge stem passes over the ground face of the pinion, until the large needle of the dial gauge is about to change direction. Lock the needle positions and note the readings.

Example: Totalising needle between 0 and 1.

Large needle at 86.

  1. Remove the fixture and place once again on the surface plate. Allow the dial gauge stem to return slowly, so the full revolutions can be counted.

When the gauge stem comes to rest on the surface plate the measurement of the part revolution can be made.

If the measurements for the examples are:

Conic distance 60 + 3.86 = 63.86 mm.

  1. If the dimension engraved on the pinion for this example is 63.95 mm then the bevel pinion must be moved away from the differential centre line by:

6 3. 9 5 - 6 3. 8 6 = 0. 0 9 mm.

  1. To adjust the bevel pinion remove the rear housing, the speedometer drive wheel and the 5th gear pinion.
  2. Remove the bevel pinion as previously described.

  3. Measure the thickness of the adjusting washer (q) figure 8 which for this example is: 2.81 mm. Replace this washer by another with a thickness calculated in the following manner:

2. 8 1 - 0. 0 9 = 2. 7 2 mm

As washers are available in thickness from 1.65 mm to 3.13 mm in steps of 0.04 mm, the nearest to the calculated thickness is 2.73 mm.

  1. Fit the new adjusting washer (q) and replace the bevel pinion as previously described.

  2. Check the adjustment, repeat instructions 1 to 4.

  3. If adjustment is within the tolerance ± 0.02 mm fit the 1st and 2nd gear operating fork.

Final Replacement

  1. Replace the primary shaft as previously described, tighten speedometer drive wheel nut to specified torque as described in "bevel pinion shaft" and lock nut by peening it to the pinion.
  2. Check that the pinions rotate freely when out of gear.
  3. Apply sealing compound to cover mating surfaces and tighten all securing screws to the torque specified in the TECHNICAL DATA.

  1. Repeat 1 and 2 for each satellite gear, taking care to fit the crosshead bush (10) to support the short satellite spindles (5). Fit the dowel pin screws temporarily to locate the short satellite spindles.
  2. Fit all the satellite gears and thrust washers.
  3. Place the second planet wheel with thrust washer in the crown wheel.
  4. Locate the satellite housing in recess in the crown wheel and fit the eight screws. Take care the dowel screws are fitted in the correct holes. Gradually tighten the screws, checking the pinions rotate freely, to a torque of 11.5 to 13 kgf.m (83 to 94 lbf.ft).
  5. Check the minimum clearance of the second planet wheel and this should be 0.1 mm. Change the thrust washer to achieve this clearance.
  6. Using an oil gun, inject gearbox oil into the satellite housing lubricating all parts inside.
  7. Fit the bearings on the satellite housing and crown wheel using a suitable mandrel.

FB.12.- DIFFERENTIAL BEARINGS ADJUSTMENT

There are two methods by which adjustments can be made to the differential bearings. The first method uses a dial gauge to measure the thickness of the adjusting washers, which is directly related to the bearing stress. The second method measures the torque required to rotate the differential using a spring balance.

Method 1

  1. Position the differential and bearings.

(a) Place the differential together with bearings in the end of the gearbox casing.
(b) Place the adjusting washer (13) and the distance washer (12), with a total thickness of 7 mm, against the left-hand differential bearing.
(c) Secure the differential in place using clamps as necessary.
(d) Place a new paper gasket on the left-hand differential shaft housing,

SECTION FB

locate the drive shaft in the planet wheel and align the screw holes. Fit screws, taking care to fit the correct lengths and tighten.

(e) Place the gearbox casting on its left-hand side, supporting it in this position.

(f) Place against the right-hand differential bearing the adjusting washer (13) followed by the distance washer (12) and the distance piece (11). The total thickness (12) and (13) should not be less than 9 mm.

(g) Locate the right-hand differential drive shaft in the planet wheel and align the screw holes. Without a gasket fitted on housing, fit the assembly in position and tap lightly on the differential shaft.

(h) Remove the right-hand drive shaft, adjusting washers and distance piece.

  1. Adjust the pre-load on the differential bearings.

NOTE: The bearings must be fitted with a specified pre-load.

(a) Place gauge support T000T0614, fitted with dial gauge T000T0615, on the collar of the right-hand drive shaft housing. Allow the probe of the gauge to touch the bearing face of the housing. Bring the zero of the movable dial of the gauge in line with the large needle. Note the position of the needle.

Example: Large needle reading = 0

Small needle reading = 0

(b) Place the dial gauge and support on the gearbox casting with the probe bearing on the distance piece. Take two measurements.

Example: Measurement A amp; = amp; 7. 7 6 mm Measurement B amp; = amp; 7. 8 0 mm Average A and B amp; = amp; 7 . 7 6 + 7 . 8 0/2 = 7. 7 8 mm

(c) Add to the average measurements the following items:

Thickness of the seal = 0. 1 0 mm

Stress on the bearing = 0. 3 0 mm

Total = 0. 4 0 mm

Example: 7.78 + 0.40 = 8.18 mm

Select an adjusting washer and a distance washer with a total thickness nearest to the calculated thickness. This would be for the example

used 8.20 mm (the adjusting washer has a smaller inside diameter).

(d) Place the selected washers on the right-hand bearing, with the adjusting washer next to the bearing. Fit the distance piece and fit the right-hand drive shaft housing with a paper gasket between the mating surfaces.

IMPORTANT: The thickness of the washers fitted against the left-hand and right-hand bearings corresponds to the setting of the bearing stress only.

To adjust the backlash these washers must be redistributed to the left and to the right, without changing the overall thickness.

Right - hand bearing washers = 8. 2 0 mm Overall thickness = 1 5. 2 0 mm

Example: Left-hand bearing washers = 7.00 mm

Method 2

  1. Fitting the differential assembly.

(a) Place the differential, fitted with bearings, in the end of the gearbox casting.

(b) Secure the differential in place using clamps as necessary.

(c) Place new paper gaskets on the left-hand and right-hand drive shafts assemblies, together with any shims removed during dismantling. Locate the drive shafts in the planet wheel and align the screw holes. Fit screws, taking care to fit the correct lengths and tighten.

  1. Adjust the pre-load on the bearings.

NOTE: The bearings must be fitted with a specific pre-load. This can be checked by measuring the torque required to turn the differential.

(a) To measure the torque fix and wind a length of cord around the differential satellite housing. Attach to the free end of the cord to a spring balance so the satellite housing can be rotated when the spring balance is pulled.

(b) Take a reading from the balance when the satellite housing is just about to rotate. This reading should be within the following limits

given for bearings which have previously been used and new bearings.

(i) Bearings previously used should be within 4 to 6 kg. If the reading is less than 4 kg, increase the thickness of the adjusting washers. For readings in excess of 6 kg reduce the thickness of the adjusting washers.

(ii) New bearings should be within 6 to 9 kg. If the reading is less than 6 kg, increase the thickness of the adjusting washers. For readings in excess of 9 kg reduce the thickness of the adjusting washers.

NOTE: An adjusting washer 0.10 mm thick corresponds approximately to a bearing stress of: 0.250 kg for new bearings 0.500 kg for used bearings

IMPORTANT: The thickness of the washers fitted against the left-hand and right-hand bearings corresponds to the setting of the bearing stress only.

To adjust the backlash these washers must be redistributed to the left and right, without changing the overall thickness.

FB.13. - BACKLASH ADJUSTMENT

To check the backlash adjustment both drive shaft housings must be fitted.

  1. Measure the clearance between the crown wheel and pinion teeth i.e. backlash.

(a) Fit a dial gauge T000T0615 to a support, fixed to the gearbox casting.
(b) Adjust the position of the dial gauge so that the measuring probe touches the flank of a tooth at heel (outer edge of crown wheel) see figure 10. This should be achieved somewhere near maximum diameter of the crown wheel.
(c) Move the crown wheel to the extent of the backlash several times and measure the difference on the dial gauge.

Technical diagram of a mechanical measuring instrument with labeled dial and adjustment knobs

Fig.10 Measuring crown wheel backlash

(d) Repeat the procedure on teeth at about 90° , 180° and 270° around the crown wheel from the first measurement. The difference between any two measurements should not exceed 0.10 mm. If a reading exceeds this figure it will indicate the crown wheel is running out of true or is badly fitted.

(e) Make a note of the minimum clearance.

Example clearance = 0.73 mm

  1. Adjust the backlash.

IMPORTANT: The clearance between the teeth is adjusted by redistributing the adjusting washers against the left-hand and right-hand bearings. Under no circumstances must the overall thickness of the washers be altered, see DIFFERENTIAL BEARINGS ADJUSTMENT.

(a) The clearance must be adjusted to within the limits 0.16 mm and 0.24 mm. Aim for an average clearance of 0.20 mm.

(b) Subtract this average clearance from the minimum reading noted; for the example given, this will be:

0. 7 3 - 0. 2 0 = 0. 5 3 mm

therefore, for this example the clearance must be reduced by 0.53 mm.

NOTE: Moving a 0.15 mm adjusting washer from one side to the other, will change the clearance by 0.10 mm.

For the example therefore, the thickness of the washers to be moved

0 . 5 3 × 0 . 1 5/0 . 1 0 = 0. 7 9 mm

(c) In the example chosen, it is necessary to move the crown wheel towards the pinion by a distance of 0.79 mm.

To achieve this, the thickness of the washers against the right-hand bearing should be reduced to:

8. 2 0 = 0. 7 9 = 7. 4 1 mm,

and the thickness of the washers against the left-hand bearing should be increased by the same amount.

7. 0 0 + 0. 7 9 = 7. 7 9 mm

(d) Recheck the backlash measurement to verify that the difference between any two measurements, around the crown wheel, does not exceed 0.10 mm.

  1. If backlash is within the tolerance, assemble the differential assembly, replace the Clutch Bellhousing and refit Transmission Unit.

HB.1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

A rack and pinion steering system is used on the Esprit, with the steering rack assembly clamped to the chassis front crossmember behind the front axle line. On cars without a Supplementary Inflatable Restraint (S.I.R.), the collapsible upper steering column assembly is connected with the rack pinion shaft via a short intermediate shaft and two universal joints.

HB.2 - STEERING WHEEL

On non-S.I.R. (Supplementary Inflatable Restraint) cars, the three spoke steering wheel is secured to an alloy hub by six countersunk screws. The hub is splined to the inner steering column, and a tongue on the back of the boss serves to operate the cancelling mechanism for the turn indicator switch.

On S.I.R. equipped cars (primarily USA), the the steering wheel and hub are integrated into a single unit which houses an inflator module (air bag) at its centre, concealed beneath a moulded trim cover. The padded cover is designed to split open when the inflator module is deployed (air bag inflated). The spokes of the steering wheel also incorporate a pair of horn buttons.

WARNING: Any work on, or removal of the steering wheel on S.I.R. cars requires that rigorous safety precautions be taken in order to safeguard against unintentional deployment of the inflator module. Do not attempt any work on the steering wheel of an S.I.R. equipped car without referring to Sub-Section WA.3 - J in the separate manual 'Section WA', part no. E082T0327J.

To Remove Wheel & Hub Assy.: Non-S.I.R. Cars

  • Pull off the trim pad from the centre of the wheel.
  • Remove the nut and washer retaining the wheel.
  • Match mark the relative positions of the steering wheel hub and inner column.
  • Pull the wheel off the column using minimum force, if necessary using a suitable puller. DO NOT apply excessive axial force to the steering wheel, or inner or outer columns without the use of a puller, or the mechanism retaining the telescopic length of the column may be overridden, necessitating column replacement.
  • Take care not to misplace the split thrust collar from the top of the column.

Split thrust collar Tapered end towards hub Steering wheel fixing thread Retaining nut Inner column Steering wheel hub

To Refit Wheel & Hub Assy.: Non-S.I.R. Cars

  • Apply a small amount of PBC grease to the column splines to aid subsequent steering wheel removal, but ensure that the threaded section is thoroughly degreased;
  • Check that the split thrust collar is held in position (by a rubber band) in the groove in the column just below the splines, with the tapered faces towards the steering wheel as shown;
  • Taking care not to damage the turn indicator switch cancelling fingers, refit the steering wheel assembly with the match marks aligned, fit the washer and retaining nut and tighten to 41 - 47 Nm (30 - 35 lbf.ft).

To Remove & Refit Wheel & Hub Assy.: S.I.R. Cars

See Sub-Section WA.3 - J in separate manual 'Section WA' part no. E082T0327J.

Steering Wheel Alignment

If the steering wheel alignment requires re-setting, or if there are no wheel to column reference marks available when fitting a steering wheel, proceed as follows:

  1. In order to maintain the required bump steer characteristic, it is important to ensure that the steering rack is centralised in the straight ahead position, i.e. both track rods are the same length. Measure the amount of visible thread at each track rod, and if necessary equalise by adjusting an equal and opposite amount at each side.

  2. Slide the steering wheel onto the column splines in an approximate straight ahead position. Rotate the wheel to full left hand lock and then to right hand lock, and check that the two extreme steering wheel positions are the mirror image of each other. If necessary, reposition the wheel on the column until this is achieved. Fit and tighten the steering wheel nut as above.

Typical 'full lock' steering wheel positions

  1. Road test the car to check steering wheel alignment. It should not be necessary to reposition the wheel by more than one spline to achieve alignment to within 5°. Complete alignment is achieved by adjustment at the track rod ends, an equal and opposite amount at each side to maintain the toe-in setting.

  2. Check front wheel toe-in.

HB.3 - UPPER STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY

On non-S.I.R. (Supplementary Inflatable Restraint) cars, the upper steering column assembly comprises inner and outer columns, both of which are telescopically collapsible if an axial load above a specified figure is applied to the column in the course of an accident. The lower end of the outer column is secured to the pedal box via a clamp bracket, and the top end of the column is secured to the scuttle beam via two fixing bolts and 'break out' inserts, which are retained in slots in the column brackets by nylon pins. These pins are designed to shear in an accident, and allow the upper half of the column to break free of the scuttle beam and telescope downwards, this movement being accommodated by the deformation of an open mesh crumple section (covered by a rubber sleeve) at the bottom of the column.

The telescopic inner column assembly is supported in ball bearings and provided with splines at the top end for the steering wheel, and splines at the bottom end for connection with the intermediate column. The upper part of the

inner column is provided with a slot into which the steering lock engages.

On S.I.R. equipped cars (primarily USA), a different column is used, but the same principles apply. The same 'break out' fixings are used at the scuttle beam, but the lower end of the column is secured to the pedal box via a hinge bracket and a single fixing bolt. The two parts of the outer column are connected by grip collars and the assembly must be replaced if collapsed. The two parts of the inner column are connected by a telescopic joint, the length of which is fixed by plastic buttons locating in grooves, which may be overridden by a specified force. The assembly must be replaced if collapsed.

WARNING: Any work on, or removal of the steering column on S.I.R. cars requires that rigorous safety precautions be taken in order to safeguard against unintentional deployment of the inflator module. Do not attempt any work on the steering column of an S.I.R. equipped car without referring to Sub-Section WA.3 - L in the separate manual 'Section WA', part no. E082T0327J.

Post Accident Inspection

If the vehicle has been involved in an accident, or if there is any other reason to suspect that the upper column assembly may have collapsed, carry out the following inspection:

Non-S.I.R. Cars: Remove the steering wheel (see above), remove the column shrouds, and separate the lower end of the column from the intermediate shaft universal joint.

i) Loosen the column to scuttle beam fixing bolts and check that the two alloy 'break out' inserts are securely attached to the column flange.
ii) Measure the overall length of the inner column as shown in the diagram. Specification = 758.5 - 759.5 mm Replace the column if outside specification.
iii) Measure the overall length of the outer column tube, excluding the bearing housing flanges as shown in the diagram. Specification = 611 - 612 mm Replace the column if outside specification.
iv) If there is any discernible axial play in the column (along the direction of the column), the inner column telescopic retention mechanism has been overridden, and the column assembly should be replaced.

Outer column 611 - 612 mm Collapsible mesh section Inner column 758.5 - 759.5 mm

S.I.R. Cars:

i) Remove the column shrouds, loosen the column to scuttle beam fixing bolts and check that the two alloy 'break out' inserts are securely attached to the column flange.

ii) Check that the centreline of the u/j at the lower end of the column is within 3 mm of the pivot point of the outer column lower bracket. If greater than 3 mm, replace the column assembly.

iii) Measure the length of the lower part of the outer column as shown in the diagram.

Specification = 105.4 ± 1 mm If outside specification, replace the column assembly.

612 ± 0.8 mm Less than 3 mm 105.4 ± 1 mm

iv) If there is any discernible axial play in the column (along the direction of the column), the inner column telescopic retention mechanism has been overridden, and the column assembly should be replaced.

To Remove Upper Steering Column Assembly: Non-S.I.R. cars

  1. Remove the steering wheel (see Sub-Section HB.2).

  2. Remove the column shrouds: Release the two screws at each side, securing the upper to the lower shroud. Release the single screw and washer from beneath, securing the lower shroud to the column lock.

  3. Remove the column switches: From beneath the fascia, disconnect the column switch and ignition switch connector blocks, and all tie wraps securing wiring and heater ducting to the column. Release the two screws securing the wiper control switch and remove both column switch assemblies. Slide off the switch spacer ring from the column.

  10. refit the rotary connector (Sub-Section WA.3 - K)
  11. refit the steering wheel (Sub-Section WA.3 - J)
  12. refit the inflator module (Sub-Section WA.3 - I)

HB.4 - INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY

On non-S.I.R. cars, a single intermediate column is used together with two universal joints to transmit the motion of the upper steering column to the steering rack pinion shaft. When refitting the intermediate column, it is most important that the two joints are correctly phased with respect to each other.

On cars fitted with S.I.R. (Supplementary Inflatable Restraint), the shorter upper steering column assembly necessitates the use of two intermediate columns and three universal joints, with the lower intermediate column supported in a chassis mounted bearing. The design of the intermediate column system is such as to permit assembly only with the correct phasing of the three universal joints.

To Remove Intermediate Steering Column Assembly: Non-S.I.R. cars

  1. Remove the pinch bolt securing the upper u/j to the upper column.

  2. Remove the two nuts and bolts securing the upper column assembly to the scuttle beam, and slacken the clamp bolt securing the lower end of the column to the pedal box. Draw the upper column assembly into the car only sufficiently to disengage the inner column from the upper u/j.

  3. From beneath the car, remove the pinch bolt securing the lower u/j to the intermediate column and withdraw the intermediate column into the car.

  4. If necessary, remove the pinch bolt securing the lower u/j to the steering rack pinion shaft, and remove the lower u/j.

To Refit Intermediate Steering Column Assembly: Non-S.I.R. cars

When refitting the intermediate column, it is most important to follow the correct procedure to 'phase' the upper and lower u/js i.e. orientate the two joints in a particular manner with respect to each other. This setting provides the optimum steering 'feel', with minimum cyclical force variation as the wheel is turned.

  1. In order to ensure that the lower u/j is not slid too far onto the pinion shaft, with the consequent danger of the shaft end fouling the u/j spider, or of the u/j fouling the chassis, a circlip is fitted onto the pinion shaft followed by a rubber spacer tube.
    Align the pinch bolt hole in the lower u/j with the flat on the pinion shaft and fit the u/j onto the shaft to abut the spacer tube, or until the shaft end is flush with the inside of the u/j yoke. Fit the pinch bolt and tighten to 22 - 27 Nm (16 - 20 lbf.ft).
  2. From inside the car, feed the intermediate column through the bulkhead seal (but not into the lower u/j) before sliding onto the (unfixed) upper column assembly, with the pinch bolt hole aligned with the column flat. Fit the pinch bolt but do not tighten at this stage.
  3. Turn the front wheels until the axis of the pinch bolt hole in the upper part of the lower u/j is in a vertical fore/aft plane as shown in the diagram.
  4. Turn the steering wheel until the pinch bolt securing the upper column to the upper u/j is horizontal, and the upper and lower u/js are aligned 'back to back' as shown.

RHD car viewed from RH side with joints in alignment LHD car symmetrically opposite When joints are aligned, pinch bolt is horizontal Align but DO NOT INSERT at this stage Pinch bolt hole in vertical plane

  1. From this position, turn the steering wheel 30° (3 splines) as follows: RHD - counterclockwise LHD - clockwise before inserting the intermediate shaft into the lower u/j. Fit the pinch bolt and tighten to 22 - 27 Nm (16 - 20 lbf.ft).

Turn steering wheel 30° counterclockwise (RHD) Insert Pinch bolt 30° to horizontal Check pinch bolt hole is still in vertical plane before assembly RHD car viewed from RH side with joints phased

LHD car viewed from LH side with joints phased Insert Turn steering wheel 30° clockwise (LHD) Pinch bolt 30° to horizontal Check pinch bolt hole is still in vertical plane before assembly

  1. Tighten the upper column fixings as follows:

Ensure that only a minimal amount of intermediate shaft is allowed to protrude through the upper u/j before tightening the pinch bolt to 22 - 27 Nm (16 - 20 lbf.ft).

Column to scuttle beam: 28 - 30 Nm (20 - 22 lbf.ft)

Column clamp bolt: 11 - 16 Nm (8 - 12 lbf.ft)

  1. Road test and check the alignment of the steering wheel. Realign if necessary as detailed in sub-section HB.2.

To Remove Intermediate Steering Column Assembly: With S.I.R.

WARNING: Any work on, or removal of the steering column on S.I.R. cars requires that rigorous safety precautions be taken in order to safeguard against unintentional deployment of the inflator module with consequent risk of personal injury or unnecessary S.I.R. system repairs. Follow the procedures below in the order listed to temporarily disable the S.I.R. system and prevent false codes from setting.

a) Turn off ignition.
b) Disconnect the negative battery cable, and tape back to ensure that it cannot contact the battery terminal.
c) From beneath the passenger side fascia, locate and disconnect the six way SIR fascia harness connector block.
d) Unplug the orange 3-way connectoe to the inflator.

  1. Remove the upper steering column assembly (see sub-section HB.3).
  2. From beneath the vehicle, remove the pinch bolt securing the lower intermediate shaft to the lower u/j. From inside the vehicle, withdraw the intermediate shaft assembly from the steady bearing and body grommet.
  3. If necessary, remove the pinch bolt securing the lower intermediate shaft u/j to the upper intermediate shaft, and withdraw the upper shaft.
  4. If necessary, remove the pinch bolt securing the lower u/j to the steering rack pinion shaft, and withdraw the u/j.

Upper intermediate column Lower intermediate column To upper column u/j Support bearing To steering rack pinion shaft

The lower intermediate shaft steady bearing, is an oil impregnated synthetic (Railko) bush pressed into a bracket bolted to the chassis front crossmember. The position of the bracker is set by jig during vehicle manufacture, and should not be disturbed unless the bush is to be replaced.

To replace the bush, remove the two screws securing the bracket, and press out the bush. Press the new bush into position, where it is retained by a rib around the outside of the bush locating in a groove in the housing. The oil impregnated bush is self-lubricating. Fit the bracket to the chassis with the two bolts, but do not tighten at this stage.

To Refit Intermediate Steering Column Assembly: With S.I.R.

  1. In order to ensure that the lower u/j is not slid too far onto the pinion shaft, with the consequent danger of the shaft end fouling the u/j spider, or of the u/j fouling the chassis, a circlip is fitted onto the pinion shaft followed by a rubber spacer tube.

Align the pinch bolt hole in the lower u/j with the flat on the pinion shaft and fit the u/j onto the shaft to abut the spacer tube, or until the shaft end is flush with the inside of the u/j yoke. Fit the pinch bolt and tighten to 22 - 27 Nm (16 - 20 lbf.ft).

  1. Fit the shorter end of the upper intermediate shaft into the lower intermediate shaft u/j with the flat aligned with the pinch bolt hole. Retain with the pinch bolt and a new Nyloc nut and tighten to 24 Nm (18 lbf.ft).

  2. Fit the intermediate shaft assembly through the bulkhead seal, through the steady bearing, and into the lower u/j with the flat on the splines aligned with the pinch bolt hole. Fit the pinch bolt and retain with a new M8 Nyloc half nut. Tighten to 24 Nm (18 lbf.ft).

  3. Refit the upper steering column assembly (see sub-section HB.3).

  4. Temporarily fit the steering wheel and turn as necessary to find the point of minimum clearance between the intermediate shaft assembly and the fully depressed clutch pedal:

- If the lower shaft steady bearing was not disturbed, check that there is a minimum clearance of 5 mm at this point.

- If the lower shaft steady bearing has been renewed or disturbed, adjust the position of the bracket on the chassis to achieve a clearance of 5 - 7 mm before tightening the steady bearing fixing bolts to 11 Nm (8 lbf.ft).

HB.5 - TRACK ROD ENDS & TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT

The track rod ends (outer ball joints) are threaded onto the ends of the track rods, and are secured to the hub carrier steering arms by tapered ball pin shanks and Nyloc nuts. By screwing the track rods in or out of the rod ends, the effective length of the track rods is altered, thereby providing a means of toe-in adjustment for the front wheels.

In order to maintain the required bump steer characteristic, it is important to ensure that the steering rack is centralised in the straight ahead position, i.e. both track rods are the same length, within the limitations of steering wheel alignment (see sub-section HB.2).

Toe-in adjustment: Before measuring the front wheel alignment, set the car to a ride height of 170 mm below the chassis front crossmember.

Specification:

Prior VIN 82 D 3582, 85 D 3887, 82/F 2728

From VIN 82 D 3582, 85 D 3587 82/F 2728, 82/F 5000

Toe-in:

1.6mm each side; +0, -1mm

0.1 to 1.9mm overall

To adjust the toe-in (front wheel alignment), hold the track rod ends by the flats provided whilst releasing their locknuts. Turn each track rod, an EQUAL amount, either to increase the effective length of each track rod (increase toe-in), or to shorten each track rod (reduce toe-in). Take care not to twist the steering rack gaiters during this operation; loosen the gaiter outer clips if necessary. When adjustment is correct, hold the track rod ends and tighten their locknuts to 60 Nm (44 lbf.ft). Recheck toe-in and tighten the gaiter clips.

For full steering geometry specification and adjustment of castor, see sub-section CD.2/3.

Track rod end replacement: If the ball joint boot is damaged, or if any play in the joint is discernible, the joint should be replaced. Before removing the joint, measure the length of visible track rod thread in order that the initial setting of the new joint may be approximately correct. Remove the nut securing the ball pin into the steering arm, and use a ball joint splitter tool to separate the joint from the steering arm. Release the locknut, and unscrew the joint from the track rod.

Thread the new joint onto the track rod and screw up to the position noted before removal. Fit the ball pin into the steering arm from the top, secure with a new Nyloc nut (without washer) and torque tighten to 41 - 47 Nm (30 - 35 lbf.ft). Check and adjust toe-in and tighten the rod end locknuts as above.

HB.6 - STEERING RACK GAITERS

The gaiters fitted at each end of the rack assembly are available as a kit which includes the two gaiters and four clips. The integrity of the gaiters and their sealing to the rack housing and track rods is vital to the longevity of the steering assembly, as any water or dirt ingress will cause rapid wear and deterioration of the moving parts. The gaiters should be carefully inspected at every service, and replaced if showing any signs of damage, wear, age hardening or perishing. A quick check method is to squeeze each gaiter in turn and listen for any escape of air from a gaiter hole, joint, or faulty rack housing.

Only 'Neoprene' type gaiters should be used, recognisable by their flexible rubbery texture and matt appearance. Do not use the more rigid plastic ('Santoprene') gaiters which are less likely to form a satisfactory seal with the rack housing and track rods.

To Fit Gaiter Kit

  1. Remove the nut securing each track rod end to the hub carrier steering arm and use a ball joint separator to disconnect the joint.
  2. At each side, mark the position of the track rod end against its track rod, and count the number of visible threads before slackening the track rod end locknut, and unscrewing the rod end and locknut from the track rod.
  3. Slacken the two clips securing each gaiter, and slide the gaiter off the track rod.
  4. Inspect the condition of the rack assembly and inner ball joints and replace

the steering unit if necessary. If the assembly is serviceable, clean off any dirt if necessary before lubricating the rack with either EP90 oil (early cars) or, on later cars, Texaco CUP 2 grease or equivalent (lime based, water resistant).

  1. At each side, fit the new gaiter and clips over the track rod, locate the large end in the groove on the rack housing (pinion end) or just inboard of the end bush locating holes, and secure with the clip. To aid track rod adjustment, apply a small amount of red rubber grease to the track rod groove before locating the outboard end of the gaiter. Do not tighten the clip at this stage.
  2. At each side, fit the locknut and track rod end onto the track rod, and screw on to the same position as noted prior to removal. Tighten the locknut to 70 - 80 Nm (50 - 60 lbf.ft).
  3. Fit each track rod end into its hub carrier steering arm, and secure with a new Nyloc nut, tightening to 41 - 47 Nm (30 - 35 lbf.ft). Tighten the gaiter outer clips.
  4. Check front wheel alignment.

HB.7 - RACK & PINION ASSEMBLY

The manual steering rack and pinion assembly fitted to the Esprit, is maintenance free, and with the exception of the track rod gaiters, is a non-serviceable unit which must be renewed if excessive play develops, exemplified by 'clonking' noises, wheel shimmy, or any more than the smallest amount of free play at the steering wheel. Any attempt to compensate for wear in the straight ahead position by re-shimming the rack thrust pad, may result in tightness or jamming at some other point of rack travel.

The ratio of the rack and pinion gear is 45:1 (45 mm rack travel per pinion revolution), and the ratio of the complete steering system is 15.4:1 (angular movement of steering wheel : angular movement of road wheel).

The rack and pinion assembly is secured to two plinths on the front of the chassis front crossmember via a pair of two bolt clamp brackets and rubber isolator bushes. Lateral location of the unit is assured by a pair of lugs on the non-pinion end of the rack housing, which straddle the chassis plinth.

To Remove Rack & Pinion Assembly

  1. Remove the front road wheels and disconnect the track rod ends from the hub carrier steering arms.
  2. Remove the pinch bolt securing the u/j to the steering rack pinion shaft.
  3. Release the two bolts securing each of the two steering unit clamp brackets, and remove the clamp brackets, rubber mountings, and loose tapping plates.
  4. Withdraw the pinion shaft from the u/j, and manoeuvre the unit out from the chassis towards the driver's side.

To Refit Rack & Pinion Assembly

  1. Before fitting the steering unit, check the following points:
  2. both gaiters are undamaged and correctly located and sealed; squeeze each gaiter to check for air leaks from gaiters, joints or housing.

- the circlip and spacer tube are fitted onto the pinion shaft.

  1. Feed the unit into position in the chassis from the driver's side and slide the pinion shaft into the u/j with the pinch bolt hole aligned with the flat on the shaft.
  2. Fit the mounting rubbers around the rack housing, and secure the unit with the two clamp brackets, inserting the tapping plates into the chassis plinths. Tighten the fixings to 16 -19 Nm (12 - 14 lbf.ft).
  3. Fit the pinch bolt and new Nyloc nut to secure the lower u/j to the pinion shaft, and tighten to 22 - 27 Nm (16 - 20 lbf.ft).
  4. Fit each track rod end into its hub carrier steering arm, and secure with a new Nyloc nut, tightening to 41 - 47 Nm (30 - 35 lbf.ft).
  5. Check front wheel alignment.

Servo UnitJB810

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The braking system consists of a Girling Type 28 Supervac servo unit attached to a tandem master cylinder with a bore of 19.05mm (0.75 in.) operating type GA2, calipers with 250mm (9.7 in.) diameter discs at the front, and type 9CH sliding caliper with 275mm (10.82 in.) diameter discs at the rear. The rear brakes are mounted inboard.

The separate front/rear hydraulic circuits share a brake fluid reservoir fitted with a low fluid level warning switch. This circuit, which operates a fascia tell tale lamp, may be checked by depressing the test button on the reservoir cap.

The handbrake lever connects via individual cables to each rear brake caliper, and mechanically operates their hydraulic pistons. Each piston incorporates a self adjusting mechanism which operates on footbrake application to compensate for brake pad wear.

JB.1 - FRONT BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT

Minimum pad thickness = 3mm

Always change brake pads in axle sets.

  1. After raising the front of the vehicle, remove the front wheels:

WARNING: When both front wheels are raised, do NOT move the road wheels quickly from lock to lock, as this will cause hydraulic pressure to build up within the steering gear, which may cause the rubber bellows to burst or blow off.

  1. Remove any accumulated road filth from the area of the brake pad.
  2. Pull out the pad retaining pin clips (A), withdraw the retaining pins (B) and remove the brake pads with the shims (C). Note the position of the dust shield (D) fitted over the brake pads.

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with labeled parts A, B, C, and D

SECTION JB

  1. To enable the new pads to be fitted, push the pistons in the calipers back into the bores. This action will cause hydraulic fluid to be returned to the master cylinder, which if it has recently been topped-up, may overflow. To avoid this, examine the fluid level and if necessary, remove a quantity of fluid BEFORE pushing the pistons back into the bores. DO NOT USE REMOVED FLUID FOR TOPPING-UP PURPOSES.
  2. Fit the new brake pads with the shims taking care that both are fitted correctly. The shims are marked with an arrow which MUST point in the direction of forward rotation of the wheel. Replace the dust shield, refit the retaining pins and the locking clips.
  3. Operate the brake pedal several times to bring the pads into correct operating position. Check that the pads are free to move and that the retaining pins are not fouling the pads.
  4. Replace the road wheels, lower the vehicle to the ground, check the brake fluid and top up if necessary. Tighten the wheel nuts to the specified torque loading.

CAUTION: The brakes will not work at full efficiency until the new brake pads have bedded-in. If, initially, the brakes are used too heavily, the surface of the pads will burn and irregular braking result. Use the brakes gently for the first few miles and gradually build up brake effort.

JB.2 - REAR BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT

Minimum pad thickness = 3mm

  1. Remove the two self locking screws securing the caliper body to the two guide pins, whilst holding the guide pins stationary with a spanner to prevent damage to their dust covers.
  2. Remove the caliper body and support to avoid straining the flexible hose. Remove the pads and clean the pad abutment areas taking care not to damage the guide pin or piston dust covers.
  3. Before fitting new pads, the piston must be pushed back into the caliper and the handbrake auto-adjust mechanism reset. Fit a screwdriver against the piston and turn the piston 45° to disengage the adjuster ratchet. Press back the piston (take care that the fluid reservoir does not overflow), and then turn the piston back 45° to re-engage the ratchet.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical clamp or bracket assembly (no text or symbols)

  1. Fit new pads and damper spring into the caliper bracket, and refit the caliper body, aligning the slot in the piston with the lug on the brake pad backplate.
  2. Fit new self locking bolts to secure the caliper body to the guide pins. Fit the top bolt first, then compress the pad damper spring and fit the lower bolt. Torque tighten both bolts to 3.2 - 3.6 kgf.m. (23-26 lbf.ft.).
  3. Operate the footbrake several times to bring the pads to their correct working position and to take up the handbrake adjustment.

CAUTION: The brakes will not work at full efficiency until the new brake pads have bedded-in. If, initially, the brakes are used too heavily, the surface of the pads will burn and irregular braking result. Use the brakes gently for the first few miles and gradually build up brake effort.

JB. 3 - HANDBRAKE

The handbrake lever connects to an actuating link which uses a compensator lever to balance the force applied to each handbrake cable. Late cars may be fitted with a multiplier lever pivoting on the handbrake lever mounting plate, in order to increase the leverage and reduce operator effort.

Access to the handbrake cable adjusters is made via an aperture in the rear end of the sill trim panel, covered by carpet.

The cables should be adjusted to obtain a vertical position of the compensator when the handbrake is applied.

The cylinder end covers on the brake caliper assemblies, contain a handbrake automatic adjustment mechanism to accommodate brake pad wear. Movement of the caliper lever causes a cam to rotate and exert a force via a pushrod and adjuster mechanism, on the caliper piston and brake pads.

The 'relaxed' position of the piston is controlled by the piston seal in the cylinder wall, which pulls the piston back a specified amount after each brake application. As the brake pad wears, and the piston moves outwards accordingly, the ratchet teeth 'B' are pulled past the pawl 'A', so keeping the handbrake mechanism in constant adjustment.

make pads. A B

A small amount of lost motion is permitted which prevents over-adjustment, and permits proper relaxation of the pads after each brake application.

In order to press the piston back into its bore (necessary when fitting new brake pads) or to eject the piston from the cylinder (during caliper overhaul), the ratchet mechanism must be disengaged. To do this, rotate the piston 45° in either direction. Turn back to re-engage the ratchet, and align piston slot with the lug on the brake pad backplate.

JB. 4 - FRONT BRAKE CALIPER OVERHAUL

Note: No attempt should be made to remove the bolts and separate the two halves of the caliper body.

  1. Disconnect the flexible hose from the caliper and remove caliper from the vertical link. Drain brake fluid from the caliper.
  2. Remove the brake pads as in JB.1 and pull off the piston dust covers.
  3. Using rag to protect from brake fluid spray, and keeping fingers well clear, use compressed air to eject the pistons from their cylinders.
  4. Remove the sealing rings from the cylinders taking care not to damage the bores or grooves.
  5. Clean all parts thoroughly with Girling Cleaning Fluid or unused brake fluid. Examine cylinder bores and piston for any signs of scoring, scuffing or corrosion. Replace the pistons or complete caliper if there is any doubt.
  6. Lubricate the cylinders and new sealing rings with clean brake fluid and fit the seals into their grooves.
  7. Fit the pistons and dust covers.
  8. Refit the calipers (see TDD for torque loading) and brake pads (see JB.1).
  9. Reconnect the flexible hose and bleed the hydraulic system.

JB. 5 - REAR CALIPER OVERHAUL

  1. Disconnect the flexible hose and handbrake cable and remove the brakepads (JB. 2).
  2. Pull the guide pin dust covers from the caliper bracket, and withdraw the guide pins. Inspect guide pins for any signs of corrosion or seizing, and replace with new parts if in any doubt. Note that the guide pin with the bushing, is fitted to the bottom (trailing) end of the caliper and the plain steel pin to the top (leading) end. Grease the guide pins and check that they slide easily in the caliper bracket. Locate the guide pin dust covers.

  3. Turn the piston 45° to disengage the handbrake adjustment ratchet mechanism, before using compressed air to eject the piston from the cylinder. Use rag to protect from brake fluid spray and keep fingers well clear.

4 The handbrake mechanism can be separated from the cylinder body after releasing the three bolts on its cover plate. IMPORTANT No attempt should be made to dismantle the auto-adjust mechanism. If it is faulty, a complete new unit must be fitted.

  1. Remove the sealing ring from the cylinder, and clear all parts with fresh brake fluid. Examine cylinder bores and pistons for any signs of scoring, scuffing or corrosion and replace pistons or caliper if in any doubt.

  2. Lubricate a new piston seal with clean brake fluid and fit into its groove in the cylinder wall.

  3. Lubricate the piston, and fit the dust cover onto the piston as shown. Offer the piston and dust cover assembly to the cylinder with the piston orientated to clear the handbrake auto adjustment (see JB. 2). Locate the lip of the dust cover into the cylinder groove and carefully push the piston fully home through the dust cover. Ensure the dust cover is not trapped between the piston and the bore and that the inner lip of the dust cover is located in the piston groove.

  1. Check that the breather hole at the rear underside of the cylinder is clear and wash with Girling Cleansing Fluid if necessary.
  2. The new parts supplied in the overhaul kit indicate which old parts are to be discarded. Clean all remaining parts with Girling Cleaning Fluid, or new brake fluid and examine the cylinder bore meticulously. Unless unmarked, a complete new unit should be fitted. TO HELP PREVENT DAMAGE, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT GENEROUS AMOUNTS OF UNUSED GIRLING BRAKE FLUID ARE USED AT ALL STAGES OF SEAL ASSEMBLY.
  3. Fit secondary plunger seal (20) by squeezing between finger and thumb to stretch over plunger lip. Fit washer (19) recuperating seal (18) seal retainer (17) and spring (22). Ensure seals are correctly fitted as shown.

  1. Lubricate new reservoir seals with brake fluid, and fit into the cylinder. Press the reservoir into position and fit the reservoir retaining pins.

  2. Use a new master cylinder/servo 'O' ring, and refit the master cylinder assembly to the servo, torque tightening the two nuts to 2.1 - 2.6 kgf. m (15 - 19 lbf. ft.).

  3. Reconnect the brake pipes, refill the reservoir, and bleed the entire system.

JB. 8 - BRAKE SERVO UNIT

The 'Supervac' brake servo is, with the exception of the air filter and non return valve, a non-servicable sealed unit which must be replaced if found to be faulty.

The air filter (surrounds input push rod) should be replaced whenever the brake system is overhauled, and cleaned or replaced more frequently if the vehicle is operated in dusty conditions. The filter is supplied together with the input dust cover and servo/master cylinder 'O' ring in the servo 'service kit' A075J6033F.

The vacuum non-return valve is incorporated into the vacuum hose elbow connector in the front case of the servo unit. The valve is a push fit into a grommet, and is supplied complete with new grommet. Use the grease supplied to lubricate the ribs of the NRV before assembly.

As a quick check of servo operation proceed as follows:

With engine stopped, press the brake pedal several times to exhaust the servo unit of vacuum. Keeping the pedal pressed (which should be 'hard' and 'high') start the engine; the pedal should drop slightly as the servo vacuum builds up.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The braking system comprises a Bendix 'Master Vac' servo unit and tandem master cylinder operating single piston sliding calipers on each wheel with ventilated front and solid rear discs. The separate front/rear hydraulic circuits share a brake fluid reservoir which incorporates a 'Nivocode' low fluid level warning switch. This circuit, which operates a fascia tell-tale lamp, may be checked by depressing the test button on the reservoir cap.

The handbrake lever connects via individual cables to each rear brake caliper, and mechanically operates their hydraulic pistons via a self adjusting mechanism.

JC.1 - FRONT BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT

Pad thickness may be checked using the inspection hole in the caliper.

Standard pad thickness - 10.5mm (0.41 in.) Minimum pad thickness - 2 mm (0.08 in.)

To remove pads

  1. Remove the bolt from the lower of the two caliper sliding pins, and swing up the caliper to allow access to the pads. The caliper may be supported in the raised position by inserting a bolt into the torque plate hole.

  2. Slide out both brake pads. Referring to the illustration remove each anti-rattle spring/guide plate/support plate ONE AT A TIME, and replace with the new item supplied with the new pad set.

NOTE: Pay special attention to the correct assembly of anti-rattle springs and pad guide plates to the caliper. Most of these are handed.

Note that the inner pad guide plate forms a solid abutment and is fitted to the top (or thrust) end of the caliper, whilst the inner pad anti-rattle spring is fitted to the lower end.

  1. Fit the anti-squeal shim to the outer pad and insert into the caliper, ensuring that the anti-rattle spring tongues are tucked into the brake pad backplate slots.

Insert the inner pad into the caliper.

  1. Lower the caliper cylinder, and secure with the lower sliding pin bolt, torque tightening to 1.6 - 2.4 kgf. m. (12 - 17 lbf. ft).

NOTE: If new pads are fitted it will be necessary to push the piston back into the caliper bore. This action will return fluid to the master cylinder, which may, if it has been topped up, overflow. Remove fluid from the master cylinder reservoir beforehand if necessary.

  1. Press the brake pedal several times to bring the pads to their correct running position.

CAUTION The brakes will not work at full efficiency until the new brake pads have bedded-in. If initially, the brakes are used too heavily, the surface of the pads will burn and irregular braking result. Use the brakes gently for the first few miles and gradually build up brake effort.

JC. 2 - REAR BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT
EAR BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT Locking Clip Retaining Plate Retaining Plate Locking Clip

  1. Pull out the locking clips from both caliper retaining plates.
  2. Using a pin drift, drive out one retaining plate, and then remove the other.
  3. Lift away the caliper, and support clear without stressing flexible hose.
  4. Remove the brake pads and anti-rattle springs.
  5. Before fitting new pads, it is necessary to retract the caliper piston in its bore. To do this, use a 1/4 " drive ratchet in the slot of the piston to screw the piston clockwise down its handbrake adjuster mechanism. Take care that the fluid reservoir does not overflow during this operation. When fully retracted, screw out again until the slot is parallel with the two support wings, and the groove is toward the bleed nipple side of the cylinder as shown.

Groove toward bleed nipple Slot parallel with support wings

  1. Fit the brake pads, with their anti-rattle springs into the caliper bracket
  2. Refit the caliper over the pads ensuring that the caliper wire springs are located correctly, and slide in both retaining plates. Fit the locking clips.

Correct Position of Caliper Wire Springs Anti-Rattle Spring

  1. Operate the footbrake several times to bring the pads to their correct working position and to take up the handbrake adjustment.

JC 3. - HANDBRAKE ADJUSTMENT

It is a feature of the Bendix handbrake mechanism that a large amount of handbrake lever travel is required in order for the handbrake to work efficiently and for the automatic adjustment to function. For this reason, a 'fold down' type handbrake lever is used to ease driver entry/exit.

The handbrake is applied by pulling the lever upwards in the usual manner. After application, the lever may be pushed down again (WITHOUT pressing release button in end of handgrip) whilst the fascia tell tale lamp warns of handbrake application. To release the handbrake, pull lever up, press release button and HOLDING BUTTON PRESSED IN, lower lever fully.

The handbrake lever is connected via a short link to a multiplier lever to increase leverage and reduce operator effort. The multiplier lever connects to an actuating link which uses a compensator lever to balance the force applied to each handbrake cable.

The Bendix calipers incorporate a screw thread self adjusting mechanism within their hydraulic cylinders, which keeps the mechanical handbrake linkage adjusted with each application of the footbrake. For this system to function correctly, it is essential that each caliper handbrake lever is allowed to return fully, and is not prevented from doing so by maladjustment of the handbrake cable.

To check that this condition is achieved, with the handbrake 'off', measure the distance between the cable abutment and caliper lever as shown.

50 mm

SECTION JC

After verifying this dimension, any slack in the cables may be adjusted out at their forward abutment inside the driver's sill trim panel. For access, slide the driver's seat fully forward and lift the rear end of the sill carpet to expose the trim panel aperture. After adjustment, re-check the caliper lever 'off' dimension as above.

JC.4 - FRONT CALIPER OVERHAUL

  1. Disconnect the brake hose from the caliper brake pipe and bracket. Remove the caliper swing release bolt, raise the caliper and draw off from the top slide pin.
  2. Remove the sliding bush and its rubber boots.
  3. Remove the top pin boot from the caliper using a small chisel as shown.

  1. Install the caliper onto the top slide pin, swing down, and refit the caliper swing release bolt. Torque tighten to 1.6 - 2.4 kgf.m. (12 - 17 lbf.ft.).

  2. Reconnect the brake hose, and bleed the brakes.

JC. 5 - REAR CALIPER OVERHAUL

  1. Disconnect the handbrake cable and brake hose from the caliper.
  2. Remove the locking clips, slide out the caliper retaining plates, and remove caliper to bench.
  3. Clean the caliper thoroughly. Remove piston boot. Using a 1/4 " drive ratchet, unscrew the piston from the handbrake adjustment mechanism.
  4. Using a rag to protect against brake fluid spray, and keeping fingers well clear, use compressed air to eject the piston from the cylinder. Remove seal from groove in cylinder.
  5. Clean the groove, cylinder bore and piston with methylated spirit and dry with compressed air. Inspect the groove, bore and piston surface for any signs of scratching or pitting. If any such signs are apparent, a replacement cylinder assembly should be fitted.
  6. Fit a new seal into the cylinder groove. Lubricate the piston and bore with brake fluid and press the piston into the cylinder.
  7. Smear the exposed part of the piston with the special Lockheed grease supplied in the seal kit, and fit a new dust boot.
  8. Screw the piston fully in along the handbrake adjuster mechanism, and then position with the piston slot parallel with the two support wings and the groove toward the bleed nipple side. (See brake pad replacement procedure JC. 1).

Cylinder Removal If it is necessary to replace a cylinder assembly, special spreader tool T000T0556 must be used to avoid damaging the special protective coating on the cylinder and wings of the carrier bracket:

a) Position the tool as shown and turn the screws (A) to adjust the alignment of its two arms against the two wings of the carrier bracket.

b) Gradually tighten the two nuts (B) until the cylinder is no longer gripped by the carrier bracket. It may be necessary to re-position the tool to enable the cylinder to move easily.

c) Using a 3mm allen key or similar, depress the spring loaded pawl and slide the cylinder out of the carrier.

d) With the tool holding the wings of the carrier apart, slide the new cylinder into the carrier bracket whilst depressing the locking pawl. Note Check that the cylinder is fitted the correct way up.

e) Ensure that the pawl locks into the carrier bracket locating hole and remove the spreader tool.

JC.6-BRAKE DISCS

Check the braking surface on both sides of the brake discs for scoring or corrosion. Replace if in doubt.

Measure the disc thickness and run-out:

FrontRear
Thickness, nominal20.0 mm (0.79 in.)12.0 mm (0.47 in.)
Thickness, minimum19.0 mm (0.75 in.)11.0 mm (0.43 in.)
Run-out, maximum0.15 mm (0.006 in.)0.20 mm (0.008 in.)

If the run-out is excessive, replace the disc.

NOTE Ensure the front wheel bearings are correctly adjusted before measuring front disc run-out.

JC. 7 - BRAKE SERVO UNIT

The 'Master-Vac' brake servo is, with the exception of the air filter and non return valve, a non-serviceable sealed unit which must be replaced if found to be faulty.

The air filter (surrounds input push rod) should be replaced whenever the brake system is overhauled, and cleaned or replaced more frequently if the vehicle is operated in dusty conditions.

The vacuum non-return valve is incorporated into the vacuum hose elbow connector in the front case of the servo unit. The valve is a push fit into a grommet, and is supplied complete with new grommet.

As a quick check of servo operation proceed as follows:

With engine stopped, press the brake pedal several times to exhaust the servo unit of vacuum. Keeping the pedal pressed (which should be 'hard' and 'high') start the engine; the pedal should drop slightly as the servo vacuum builds up.

When replacing a servo unit, ensure that the input pushrod is located in the brake pedal lower hole marked 'B' (Brake) and not in the upper hole 'C' (Clutch)

JC. 8 - MASTER CYLINDER OVERHAUL

  1. Disconnect the fluid level switch leads, release the three brake pipes from the cylinder and remove the two nuts and washers securing the master cylinder to the servo. Remove the master cylinder assembly from the vehicle to a clean workplace before further dismantling.

  2. Drain the reservoir and pull out from its two master cylinder grommets.

  3. Push on the primary piston and remove the stop screw from the underside of the cylinder, and circlip from the cylinder end.

  4. Withdraw the primary piston assembly and eject the secondary piston assembly and spring using compressed air (max 3 bar). Never tap or strike the master cylinder to remove the piston.

Close-up of hands operating a mechanical press or vise with tools, no visible text or symbols

  1. Clean all parts with methylated spirit or brake system cleaning fluid and inspect. If the master cylinder bore shows any signs whatever of scoring, wear, or corrosion, the complete unit should be replaced.

Note: The screw securing the return spring to the primary piston is factory set and must not be disturbed.

  1. Coat both new piston assemblies from a master cylinder repair kit with clean brake fluid and insert the secondary piston assembly with its spring into the cylinder. Use a screwdriver with rounded blade to ease sealing washer entry into the bore, and a rounded end 3mm diameter brass rod to ease the seals past the reservoir ports and stop screw hole.

  2. Fit the primary piston assembly and spring in a similar manner, and retain in the cylinder by inserting the brass rod through the rearmost reservoir port, whilst pushing on the piston.

Close-up of hands using a tool to adjust or install a mechanical component (no visible text or symbols)

  1. Coat the exterior of the projecting primary piston tube, vacuum sealing washers, and guide bush with the silicone grease provided in the repair kit.

  2. Fit a stop washer and one vacuum sealing washer (lip side first) over the piston tube and insert into the cylinder using a rounded blade. Fit the guide bush, second vacuum sealing washer (lip side first) and second stop washer in a similar manner, and retain with the new circlip.

KB.1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

A centrifugal water pump is mounted on the front face of the cylinder block and is driven by a single 'V' belt from the crankshaft. Coolant is pumped by the impeller into the front of the block, around the 'wet' cylinder liners and into the cylinder head.

Esprit S3 and U.S.A. Turbo: Water leaves the cylinder head via a pipe cast integrally with the inlet manifold, with, on U.S.A. Turbo models, an additional offtake from the front face of the head, and flows into the thermostat housing which is above and integral with the water pump housing. When the thermostat is closed, water flows downwards back into the water pump to commence another cycle. When the thermostat opens, this route is closed off and water is directed upwards past the thermostat and into pipework leading to the front mounted radiator. Coolant returning from the radiator flows back into the water pump impeller housing to commence another cycle.

DOM/ROW Turbo: On these cars, water leaves the cylinder head from a pipe in its front face and via outlets between the inlet ports linked by an external collector pipe. These two streams converge and flow to a remotely mounted thermostat at the right hand front of the engine bay. When the thermostat is closed, water is directed via a 'by-pass' pipework route back to the water pump, but when the thermostat opens, coolant flows forward to the front mounted radiator before returning to the water pump.

A header tank is fitted at the right hand rear of the engine bay and is connected with the water pump inlet pipework (S3 & USA) or the by-pass pipework (DOM/ROW Turbo).

The radiator is located in the nose of the car and is mounted into a G.R.P. rad. duct fixed to the underside of the spoiler and front luggage compartment. Turbo models use a full width radiator provided with 3 cooling fans whilst Series 3 vehicles use a smaller 2/3 width radiator with 2 cooling fans. Series 3 cars with air conditioning have a similarly sized condensor mounted ahead of the radiator and offset to the opposite side of the rad. duct with the non overlapping portion provided with its own condensor cooling fan.

KB.2 - DRAIN/REFILL PROCEDURE

It is most important that the coolant contains a corrosion inhibitor to protect the aluminium alloy of the Lotus engine. A minimum of 25% inhibitor/anti freeze should be used all year round with up to 60% in the coldest climates. All cars are filled with a 40% mix at the factory.

To drain the system, set the heater temperature control to hot, release the header tank cap and remove the radiator drain plug. Also release hose connections in the engine bay as necessary to fully drain pipework To refill the system, refit hose connections securely, replace drain plug and, on Turbo models, open the radiator bleed plug from inside the front luggage compartment.

Fill with coolant until a steady stream flows from the bleed. Close the bleed and add coolant until the system is fully filled. Run the engine to operating temperature and open the bleed until a continuous stream of water flows out. Close the bleed, allow the engine to cool, and fill to within 50mm (2 in.) of the bottom of the header tank neck.

KB.3 - COOLING FANS - REPLACEMENT OF EARLY TYPE MOTORS.

Early Series 3 and Turbo models (prior to mid '83) used cooling fan motors A074M6027Z with rivetted metal fan blades, whilst later cars use a fan motor assembly with an orange plastic blade. If it is necessary to replace an earlier type fan motor, it is recommended to fit the later type fan motor assembly in the following manner.

  1. Switch on fans (bridge 'Otter' switch) and check correct direction of rotation of each individual fan, ie: draws air through radiator and blows backwards, rotating anti-clockwise when viewed from behind.

The fan fail tell-tale will function as previously.

KB.4 - COOLING FANS THERMAL TRIP

Early Turbo models, S3 cars with air conditioning, and Series 3 cars with heater prior to commonisation with Turbo fascia (mid '85) used a fused relay in the cooling fan circuit located at the left hand front of the front luggage compartment. Later cars were fitted with a revised circuit to incorporate a double pole relay and a modular three pole thermal circuit breaker with manual reset. On these cars, an excess current in any one or more motors will cause its own thermal circuit breaker to operate. If any

thermal trip is open, or any motor fails to rotate at an effective speed, an earth path or voltage difference is created and the fan failure tell tale will light. Pressing down the red reset button on the trip housing (adjacent to windscreen washer reservoir) will restore any tripped circuit.

Cooling Fans Thermal Trip KB.5 - COOLING FANS THERMAL SWITCH

The cooling fans thermal switch (sometimes referred to by its manufacturers name, 'Otter') is fitted into a water pipe between the thermostat outlet and radiator inlet, using a special grommet and spring clip. Never re-use a grommet, but renew each time the switch is removed.

Cars used in hot climates are fitted with a blue colour coded switch which makes/breaks at temperatures of 82/72°C. The switching point for cars in temperate climates was raised from 86/76 to the 92/82 of the current green colour coded switch.

On DOM/ROW Turbo models the switch is fitted in the radiator inlet elbow pipe. Until Dec. '84, the pipe was fitted with the switch pointing upwards but the possibility of an air pocket being trapped around the switch and the consequent erroneous temperature sensing, led to the pipe and switch being inverted.

Fit pipe with switch pointing downwards

SECTION KB

On an earlier car, if inconsistent fan operation is experienced, or if the thermal switch or water-pipe is disturbed for any reason, the elbow pipe should be re-fitted in the 'inverted' position as shown.

Esprit S3 cars prior to mid '85 and U.S.A. Turbo models have the switch fitted horizontally into the water pump outlet pipe. Later S3 cars adopted the radiator inlet pipe location of the Dom. Turbo.

KB.6 - REPLACEMENT OF EARLY TYPE RAD. DUCT STAYS

Early Series 3 and DOM/ROW Turbo cars used radiator duct stays fabricated from 'U' section channel and using an 'L' bracket to fix the stay to the chassis. Later cars used a more durable tubular stay which may be fitted to earlier cars in the following manner.

LA.1.-GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Esprit Series 3

Two fuel tanks are fitted, one ahead of each rear wheel arch. A separate filler neck with lockable cap is provided for each tank, and the two tanks are interconnected by a balance pipe. A single sender unit for the fuel gauge is fitted into the top of the right hand tank.

Fuel is fed from the left hand tank to an electric fuel pump fitted beneath the left hand front corner of the engine bay. From here fuel is pumped through a line filter at the left hand front of the engine bay, to a 'Flowlock' valve at the right hand side of the engine bay. The 'Flowlock' valve is a solenoid operated fuel line valve designed to shut off the fuel supply to the engine except when the solenoid is energised by switching on the ignition. A plastic fuel pipe then carries fuel to the carburettors.

EXCEL

A single fuel tank is fitted between the rear wheel arches at the front of the boot and is provided with a filler neck and lockable cap on the left hand side. The fuel gauge sender unit is fitted into the top of the tank. On cars prior to mid '85, fuel is drawn through a gauze filter incorporated into the banjo bolt fuel take off, and through a 'Flowlock' valve before reaching the electric pump. Both pump and 'Flowlock' valve are contained within the spare wheel well at the front of the boot. Fuel is then pumped through a plastic pipe running through the chassis backbone and into the carburettors.

Early cars were fitted with a filter in the fuel pipe to carburettor adaptor. This was later replaced by a float needle valve filter within the carburettor.

From mid '85 onwards, a revised fuel filtration system was fitted incorporating a replaceable paper element fuel filter. With this system a coarser mesh filter (450 microns) is used on the tank banjo bolt, from which fuel flows to the fuel pump. Fuel is then pumped through a filtration unit mounted to the right of the fuel tank, then through the flowlock valve and to the carburettors.

On earlier Excel models, where a history of persistent fuel starvation problems have been experienced, the revised fuel filtration system can be installed.

Fuel Supply

Fuel from the union (1) passes through the filter (2) and reaches the needle valve seat (18), where the needle valve (17) attached to the float (15), controls the

Technical diagram of a mechanical device with numbered components for identification and assembly reference.

fuel flow into the float chamber, thereby maintaining a constant level.

The float chamber is vented to atmosphere (via the airbox) through the hole (4) in the chamber (3).

Starting

With the choke valve (8) opened fuel metered through jet (14) passes into the emulsion tube (13), where it mixes with air from the channel (16), communicating with the float chamber top through hole (6). The mixture formed flows, through holes (7), into the valve chamber (9), further mixing with air from the two channels (5).

Technical diagram of a mechanical device with numbered components for identification

With the choke valve (8) partially closed, when a leaner mixture is required, mixture flows into the valve chamber (9) through one of the two outlet ports (7), further mixing with air from the two channels (5), which, in this condition, are partially closed.

With the choke valve (8) closed, communication between the main barrels and the starting circuit is cut off as is also communication between the two barrels by means of the dividing bushing (19).

Idling

Fuel coming from the float chamber, metered by the idle jets (21), mixes with the air from the well (23) through channels (22); the mixture thus formed, through channels (24) arrives to the adjustment screw (27) and then, metered, flows into the main barrels (11) downstream the throttle valve (12).

Replacing the plug (26) with an adaptor connected to a suitable manometer it is possible to check, through channel (28) the pressure existing in the barrels (11) with the throttle valve (12) in idling position and equalize the air flow adjusting the bypass screw (25) which controls the hole (29).

Progression

On first opening the throttle valves (12), that is when passing from idle to full throttle, mixture arrives to barrels (11) also through progression holes (32).

Acceleration

On opening of throttle valves (12), lever (39) attached to spindle (38), by means of the rod (40) and the spring (41) pushes the pump lever (43) which acts directly on the diaphragm (44) held out by the spring (45).

Moving pf the diaphragm (44) causes delivery of fuel to the main barrels (11) through the respective valves (36) and jets (37).

On closing of throttle valves (12), diaphragm (44) returns to the original position pushed by the spring (45) and draws fresh fuel from the fuel well (33) through the valve (35).

The pump injection quantity can be adjusted by nut (42).

Technical diagram of a mechanical device with numbered components and directional arrows indicating flow or movement.

Full Throttle

With the throttle valves (12) opened, fuel from the float chamber (46) metered by the jets (47), enters the well (48) and mixes with air metered by the air corrector (49).

The mixture thus formed, passes through the inner venturi (50) where it further mixes with air drawn through the main barrel of the carburettor, flows into the venturis (51) and then, through the main barrels (11) reaches the engine.

LA.4. - CARBURETTOR BALANCING PROCEDURE

  1. Ensure ignition timing is correct and the air filter and all trunking etc. fitted.
  2. Remove anti-tamper caps from idle CO adjustment screws and balancing screws.
  3. Replace vacuum tapping screws with manometer adaptors T000T0496 and connect to manometer T000T0499.
  4. Fully close all balancing screws (do not 'graunch').
  5. Set idle CO adjustment screws 6 x 1/2 turns open, and start engine.
  6. With engine at normal running temperature with ACU off and cooling fans on, adjust throttle stop screw to give specified idle speed of 850 to 950 rpm.

  7. Adjust throttle coupling screw to balance lower of mercury columns 1 and 2 with lower of mercury columns 3 and 4 to within 3 mm.

  8. Considering the front carburettors, gradually unscrew the air bleed balancing screw of ONLY the carb. barrel with the highest mercury column, until it is balanced with the lower column to within 3 mm.
  9. Carry out the same procedure for the rear carburettor, and if necessary re-adjust the throttle coupling screw to balance all columns to within 3 mm. Ensure correct idle speed is maintained.
  10. Correct exhaust gas analyser to the exhaust tailpipe and check CO reading. Move all idle CO adjustment screws the same amount in or out 1/4 of a turn at a time to bring CO level within the range 0.7 - 1.5%.
  11. Disconnect manometer and adaptors, and replace blanking screws. Fit new anti tamper caps where necessary. Ensure all fuel pipe connections are secure.

LA.5.-CARBURETTOR MOUNTING

The spacer plates and 'O' rings used at this joint cct as insulators to absorb vibration and prevent frothing of fuel in the float chambers. It is essential that the carburettor mountings are not overtightened, as the 'O' rings may be displaced with a resultant air leak.

A uniform 1 mm gap must be maintained between carburettor and spacer plate, and between spacer plate and manifold as shown.

carb/spacer plate = 1.0 mm spacer plate/manifold = 1.0 mm

LB.1.-GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Two fuel tanks are fitted, one ahead of each rear wheelarch. A separate filler neck with lockable cap is provided for each tank, and the two tanks are interconnected by a large bore balance pipe. A single sender unit for the fuel gauge is fitted into the top of the right hand tank.

Fuel is fed from the left hand tank to a high pressure turbine type fuel pump capable of delivering 100 litres/hour. Fuel is then fed through a canister filter, also fitted beneath the left hand front corner of the engine bay, and then to the fuel pressure regulating valve mounted on the rear of the carburettor plenum chamber.

A spring and diaphragm system in the regulating valve, is adjusted to set fuel pressure to 3.5 lb/in 2 during idle and light load conditions, but as inlet boost pressure is developed, a sensing pipe from the diffuser (via the rear carb. cold start banjo) adds a boost pressure signal to the spring pressure to ensure that fuel pressure is maintained at 3.5 lb/in 2 above boost pressure.

Excess fuel supplied to the regulating valve is returned via a port in the bottom of the valve to the right hand tank, whilst two separate pipes from the valve carry fuel to the front and rear carburettors.

Fuel from the union (1) passes through the filter (2) and reaches the needle valve seat (18), where the needle valve (17), attached to the float (15), controls the fuel flow into the float chamber, thereby maintaining a constant level.

The float chamber is vented to the plenum chamber through the hole (4) in the chamber (3).

Technical diagram of a mechanical device with numbered components for identification

Starting

With the choke valve (8) opened, fuel metered through jet (14), passes into the emulsion tube (13), where it mixes with air from the channel (16), communicating with the float chamber top through hole (6).

The mixture formed flows, through holes (7), into the valve chamber (9), further mixing with air from the two channels (5).

From the valve chamber (9), mixture is divided into the two channels (10) which lead into the main barrels (11) downstream of the throttle valves (12).

Technical diagram of a mechanical piston assembly with numbered components for identification

With the choke valve (8) partially closed, when a leaner mixture is required, mixture flows into the valve chamber (9) through one of the two outlet ports (7), further mixing with air from the two channels (5), which, in this condition, are partially closed.

With the choke valve (8) closed, communication between the main barrels and the starting circuit is cut off as is also communication between the two barrels by means of the dividing bushing (19).

Idling

Fuel coming from the float chamber, metered by the idle jets (21), mixes with the air from the well (23) through channels (22); the mixture thus formed, through channels (24) arrives to the adjustment screw (27) and then, metered, flows into the main barrels (11) downstream the throttle valve (12).

Replacing the plug (26) with an adaptor connected to a suitable manometer, it is possible to check, through channel (28) the pressure existing in the barrels (11) with throttle valve (12) in idling position and equalize the air flow adjusting the bypass screw (25) which controls the hole (29).

On first opening the throttle valves (12), that is when passing from idle to full throttle, mixture arrives to barrels (11) also through progression holes (32).

Acceleration

On opening of throttle valves (12), lever (39) attached to spindle (38), by means of the rod (40) and the spring (41) pushes the pumplever (43) which acts directly on the diaphragm (44) held out by the spring (45).

Moving of the diaphragm (44) causes delivery of fuel to the main barrels (11) through the respective valves (36) and jets (37).

On closing of throttle valves (12), diaphragm (44) returns to the original position pushed by the spring (45) and draws fresh fuel from the fuel well (33) through the valve (35).

The ball valve (34) ensures that the pump circuit is cut off when the turbocharger starts operating.

The pump injection quantity can be changed by adjusting nut (42).

Technical diagram of a mechanical device with numbered components and directional arrows indicating flow or movement.

Full Throttle

With the throttle valves (12 opened, fuel from the float chamber (46) metered by the jets (47), enters the well (48) and mixes with air metered by the air corrector (49).

The mixture thus formed, passes through the inner venturi (50) where it further mixes with air drawn through the main barrel of the carburettor, flows into the venturis (51) and then, through the main barrels (11) reaches the engine.

LB.4.- CARBURETTOR BALANCING PROCEDURE

  1. Ensure ignition timing is correct and the air filter and all trunking etc. fitted.
  2. Remove anti-tamper caps from idle CO adjustment screws and balancing screws.
  3. Replace vacuum tapping screws with manometer adaptors T000T0496 and correct to manometer T000T0499.
  4. Fully close all balancing screws (do not graunch).
  5. Set idle CO adjustment screws 6 × 1/2 turns open, and start engine.
  6. With engine at normal running temperature with ACU off and cooling fans on, adjust throttle stop screw to give specified idle speed of 850 rpm.
  7. Adjust throttle coupling screw to balance lower of mercury columns 1 and 2 with lower of mercury columns 3 & 4, to within 3 mm.

  8. Considering the front carburettor, gradually unscrew the air bleed balancing screw of ONLY the carburettor barrel with the highest mercury column, until it is balanced with the lower column to within 3 mm.

  9. Carry out the same procedure for the rear carburettor, and if necessary re-adjust the throttle coupling screw to balance all columns to within 3 mm. Ensure correct idle speed is maintained.

  10. Connect exhaust gas analyser to the inboard (Turbine) exhaust tailpipe and note 'CO' and 'HC' readings. Screw down each idle CO adjustment screw in turn until 'HC' reading starts to increase, then return (unscrew) again by a 1/4 turn. 'HC', as hexane, should normally be not more than 400 ppm. CO maximum is 1.0%. Maintain idle speed and manometer balance throughout.

  11. Disconnect manometer and adaptors and replace blanking screws. Fit new anti-tamper caps where necessary. Ensure all fuel pipe connections are secure.

LB.5.-CARBURETTOR MOUNTING

The spacer plates and 'O' rings used at this joint act as insulators to absorb vibration and prevent frothing of fuel in the float chambers. It is essential that the carburettor mountings are not overtightened, as the 'O' rings may be displaced with a resultant air leak.

A uniform 1.5 - 2.0 mm gap must be maintained between carburettor and spacer plate, and between spacer plate and manifold as shown.

A spring and diaphragm system in the regulating valve is adjusted to set fuel pressure to 4.0 - 4.5 lb/in 2 under light load conditions, but as inlet boost pressure is developed, a sensing pipe from the plenum chamber adds a boost pressure signal to the spring pressure to ensure that fuel pressure is maintained at 4.0 - 4.5 lb/in 2 above boost pressure. However, a micro-switch mounted on the front of the front carburettor and operated by the throttle lever in its fully closed position energises the fuel pressure solenoid, fitted beneath the rear of the plenum chamber. The signal to the fuel pressure regulator is then switched to number one cylinder inlet manifold depression, thus reducing fuel pressure to the carburettors and mixture strength under closed throttle 'overun' conditions.

Excess fuel supplied to the regulating valve is returned via a port in the bottom of the valve to the right hand tank, whilst two separate pipes from the valve, carry fuel to the front and rear carburettors.

The clearance between pump diaphragm and lever can be adjusted by nut (42).

Technical diagram of a mechanical device with numbered components for identification

Whereas on Domestic/RoW Turbo and 912 engine carburettors the volume of fuel delivered by the accelerator pump is adjusted by nut (42), on Federal Turbo DHLA 45M carburettors, the volume delivered is fixed, but the point of delivery commencement is adjustable. The correct setting is such that with the throttle closed, there is a clearance of 0.6 ± 0.1mm between the end of the pump lever and the diaphragm plunger.

Switch on ignition and check fuel pressure = 4.0 - 4.5 p.s.i. If outside specification, remove anti-tamper plug from fuel pressure regulator adjustment screw, and adjust as necessary.

If the pressure reading is too high, and cannot readily be adjusted to specification, a restriction in the return line is indicated. Rectify as necessary.

If the pressure reading is too low, and cannot readily be adjusted to specification, a restriction in the supply line, or faulty fuel pump is indicated.

Check for an unrestricted supply to the fuel pump, and for fuel filter restriction. Test fuel pump

  1. Start engine and allow to reach normal running temperature.

Check fuel pressure at the regulator. This should be lower than 3.5 p.si. at idle (950 ± 50 rpm). If above specification, check that the micro-switch on the front of the front carburettor is activated. If not, rotate the switch down towards the lever until switch contact is made.

View from front

Micro-switch TO ENGINE

If switch adjustment is carried out, open throttle to 2500 rpm and then return throttle to idle position. Check that when engine speed is above 1800 rpm, the micro-switch is deactivated allowing fuel pressure to increase to 4.0 - 5.0 p.s.i. Repeat this test and check that pressure differences are maintained. Adjust switch position if necessary but always ensure that idle pressure requirements are met.

If switch contact is made at idle, but fuel pressure remains above 3.5 p.s.i, check fuel pressure regulator solenoid pipework and wiring for leakage or disconnection. If no fault is found, replace fuel pressure regulator solenoid valve.

LC.4 - FLOAT LEVEL CHECKING

Remove the carburettor top complete with float assembly. Ensure the correct weight of 8.5 g is indicated on the float, and that the float assembly pivots freely on its pin. Hold the cover vertical with the float hanging downwards and in light contact with the needle.

Measure the dimension 'A' between float and gasket as shown in the diagram, for each float of the assembly, and if necessary carefully bend float arm at 'B' to correct.

  1. Replace vacuum tapping screws with manometer adaptors T000T0496 and connect to manometer T000T0499. Fit exhaust probe to exhaust outlet pipe of turbocharger and connect to CO/HC analyser (e.g. Sun EPA 75 or equivalent).
  2. Fully close all balancing screws (do not 'graunch').
  3. Set idle CO adjustment screws 6 × 1/2 turns open, and start engine.
  4. With engine at normal running temperature with ACU off and cooling fans on, adjust throttle stop screw to give specified idle speed of 950 ± 50 rpm.
  5. Adjust throttle coupling to balance lower of mercury columns 1 and 2 with lower of mercury columns 3 and 4 to within 3 mm, ensuring that the two coupling screws securely clamp against the throttle lever.
  6. Considering the front carburettor, gradually unscrew the air bleed balancing screw of ONLY the carburettor barrel with the highest mercury column, until it is balanced with the lower column to within 3 mm.
  7. Carry out the same procedure for the rear carburettor, and if necessary re-adjust the throttle coupling to balance all columns to within 3 mm. Ensure correct idle speed is maintained.

  8. Switch analyser to sample mode and check readings.

Note: Do not touch idle adjustment screws until CO reading has stabilised.

CO reading should be between 0.2 - 1.2%. If higher or lower levels are found, move each mixture screw 1/4 of a turn in or out as the reading dictates. Check the CO reading and repeat procedure until correct specification is achieved. A balance between CO and HC is required, and the Hexane level should be below 550 ppm for a 'new' engine and below 350 ppm for a 'run-in' engine.

  1. Disconnect manometer and adaptors, and replace blanking screws. Fit new anti-tamper caps where necessary. Ensure all fuel pipe connections are secure. Disconnect exhaust sample probe, and refit blanking plug securely.

LC.6 - CARBURETTOR MOUNTING

The spacer plates and 'O' rings used at this joint act as insulators to absorb vibration and prevent frothing of fuel in the float chambers. It is essential that the carburettor mountings are not overtightened, as the 'O' rings may be displaced with a resultant air leak.

A uniform gap must be maintained between carburettor and spacer plate, and between spacer plate and manifold as shown.

LD.1.-GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Two fuel tanks are fitted, one ahead of each rear wheelarch. A separate filler neck with lockable cap is provided for each tank, and the two tanks are interconnected by a large bore balance pipe. A single sender unit for the fuel gauge is fitted into the top of the RH tank.

Fuel is fed from the RH tank through an integral strainer to the fuel pumps and injection system, with excess fuel being returned into the top of the RH tank.

Filling of the fuel tanks is best achieved by twisting the pump nozzle 45° to allow it to be inserted fully around the bend in the filler neck.

LD. 2. - FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Lotus fuel injection engines use a Bosch K-Jetronic system to provide an optimum air-fuel mixture under all operating conditions. The system is based on the principle of continuous injection of fuel into the intake port of each cylinder, and derives its designation 'K' from the German word for 'continuous'. The fuel injection may be said to operate mechanically, with the quantity of fuel delivered being regulated by the amount of air drawn in by the engine.

The basic system is regulated to provide the correct air/fuel ratio for normal running conditions, and full power running. Various supplementary devices are used to modify this ratio to achieve efficient overall performance when cold, decelerating, starting, idling, operation at high altitude etc.

An oxygen sensor in the exhaust system is used to determine the mixture strength being supplied to the engine, and an electronic control unit makes corrections accordingly.

LD. 3. - FUEL FEED

The fuel feed system comprises the fuel pumps, fuel accumulator, and fuel filter. All these components are fitted at the RH front underside of the engine bay.

Fuel Pumps Two fuel pumps, connected in series, draw fuel from the RH petrol tank and supply it via the fuel accumulator and filter to the fuel distributor. Both pumps are fitted with non-return valves in their outlet connections.

  6. Fuel Outlet

The pumps are permanent magnet electric motor roller-cell type, wherein the fuel flows past the motor itself to a roller cell pump chamber. A motor driven disc mounted eccentrically in this chamber, uses rollers contained in slots around its circumference and thrown out by centrifugal force against the wall of the eccentric chamber, to transfer fuel from the motor side of the chamber into the fuel feed pipeline.

  2. Pump Housing

  3. Fuel Outlet

The lack of an ignitable air/fuel mixture in the pump prevents any explosion. The pumps operate whilst the engine is cranking or running, but do not operate in the stalled engine condition. The combined output of both pumps is more than the maximum requirement of the engine, excess fuel being returned to the tank via the primary pressure regulator. In order to protect the engine from damage if one pump fails, the engine overspeed/fuel pump failure module senses the failure and limits maximum engine speed to approx. 2,800 rpm by cutting out the remaining pump when this speed is reached.

The fuel pumps are also cut out if the Overboost Switch senses too great a boost pressure at the inlet manifold cold start air rail (i.e. exhaust wastegate failure).

Fuel Accumulator The fuel accumulator is fitted between the fuel pumps and fuel filter and is designed to maintain fuel pressure in the system after the engine has been switched off in order to aid re-starting and prevent vapour locks forming.

The accumulator also serves to deaden any noise arising from pulsations in the fuel line. The accumulator consists of a fuel storage chamber and spring loaded diaphragm.

Diagram A shows the storage chamber empty and the diaphragm pushed by its spring against the divider plate.

When the fuel pumps are running, the pressure of fuel pushes the diaphragm back against its spring until the storage chamber is filled as in diagram B.

When the pumps are switched off, the non-return valve fitted in the outlet of the second pump, prevents fuel returning to the tank, through the pumps, and the fuel distributor primary pressure regulator shuts off the fuel return pipeline.

The accumulator spring then maintains a rest pressure in the system for sufficient time to aid hot re-start.

Fuel Filter The fuel filter is fitted between the fuel accumulator and fuel distributor. Due to the extremely close tolerances of the injection equipment, a special fine filter is fitted to protect the system from impurities in the fuel.

The filter consists of a sealed cannister containing a paper filter element backed up by a lintor fluff filter, and a restraining strainer.

It is most important that the filter is fitted with the arrow stamped on the body pointing in the direction of fuel flow. The connections are arranged to permit only the correct fitment.

LD. 4. - MIXTURE CONTROL UNIT

The Mixture control unit is the heart of the fuel injection system, and comprises an air flow sensor and fuel distributor.

The air flow sensor is fitted between the air filter and turbocharger, and senses the amount of air being drawn into the engine. This measurement is used to move a control valve in the fuel distributor which regulates fuel delivery to the injectors.

Air Flow Sensor The air flow sensor consists of a sensor plate mounted on a counterbalanced lever, operating the fuel distributor control valve.

The sensor plate is positioned in an air funnel and operates on the suspended body principle such that the greater the quantity of air drawn in by the engine, the greater the sensor plate movement. The funnel is specially shaped to provide the necessary sensor plate movement and fuel delivery characteristics.

Buffer Sensor Plate Funnel To Engine Fuel Control Valve Setting Screw

In order to prevent damage to the sensor in case of pressure shocks in the intake system (backfiring) etc.) provision is made for the sensor to swing upward and open a relief cross-section in the funnel before being restrained by a buffer. The rest position of the sensor is controlled by a preset spring pin.

The screw setting the fuel control valve operating arm is preset and requires no adjustment under normal operating conditions.

Fuel Distributor The fuel distributor comprises:

i) Primary Pressure Regulator (System Pressure)

iii) Four Distributor Differential Valves

i) Primary Pressure Regulator

The primary pressure regulator is incorporated into the body of the fuel distributor and takes the form of a spring loaded plunger.

Fuel is delivered by the pumps into the fuel distributor and exerts a force on the pressure regulator valve which is calibrated to maintain a primary fuel pressure of 6.0 Bar with excess fuel being returned to the tank.

  1. Primary Pressure Input 4. Plunger
  2. Seal 5. Regulator Spring
  3. Return to Tank

When the engine is stopped, the fuel pumps are switched off and the pressure drops below injector opening pressure. The primary pressure regulator then seats fully under the action of its spring, and prevents further pressure reduction in the primary system.

The fuel control valve is located centrally in the fuel distributor, and controls the fuel delivery to the injectors relative to the air flow sensor position.

To Injectors Fuel Intake

The control valve slides inside a barrel into which is fed fuel at primary pressure. The fuel then flows through 4 metering slits to the distributor differential valves and then to the fuel injectors. As the air flow sensor is deflected further by an increasing airflow, so the control valve is raised in its barrel, progressively opening a larger proportion of the metering slits, and increasing fuel flow to the injectors.

Engine Stopped Part Load Full Load 1 Control pressure 2 Control plunger 3 Metering slit in the barrel 4 Control edge 5 Fuel intake 6 Barrel with metering slits

The Lotus fuel distributor has metering slits with two different widths, the smaller, standard section for light and part load running and the larger width for mid to full power running.

Control Pressure In order to damp any tendency of the control valve and air flow sensor to osillate, and to provide a means whereby the movement of the control valve relative to the airflow may be varied to suit different operation conditions, a 'control pressure' is arranged to act on the top of the control valve and oppose the force applied to it by the airflow sensor.

  1. Control Pressure Force
  2. Damping Restriction
  3. To Warm Up Regulator
  4. Control Pressure Take Off Orifice
  5. Fuel at Primary Pressure
  6. Force from Airflow Sensor

A small bore take off from the primary pressure supply directs fuel at a reduced pressure into the top of the fuel control valve cylinder. This 'control pressure' is regulated by the warm up regulator (see later) which reduces the control pressure when the engine is cold. This reduced force above the control valve, allows the airflow sensor and control valve to move a greater distance for a given airflow, and expose a greater proportion of the metering slits. More fuel then flows to the injectors to achieve a richer cold running mixture.

The warm up regulator achieves this control pressure regulation by allowing a proportion of the fuel to return to the tank, but in order to maintain control pressure after engine switch off, and to aid re-start, the return line from the warm up regulator is fitted with a shut off valve which closes when the engine is stopped.

  3. Plunger

  5. Control Pressure

This shut off valve is incorporated into the primary pressure regulators such that it is held open against spring pressure only whilst the primary pressure regulator is operating (i.e. engine running).

Distributor Differential Valves One distributor differential valve for each engine cylinder is incorporated in the fuel distributor to maintain a constant pressure drop across the metering slits regardless of their opening. This is necessary in order to ensure that the fuel flow to the injectors is dependant only on the length of metering slit exposed, and also is not affected by any variation in primary pressure.

The valves are mounted in 4 cavities inside the fuel distributor. Each cavity is divided into upper and lower chambers by a steel diaphragm. All the lower chambers are interconnected by a ring main and are supplied with fuel at primary pressure from the pumps. The upper chambers are isolated from each other and each is connected individually to one of the metering slits. Each diaphragm is spring loaded downwards away from a flat seat valve leading to one of the fuel injectors.

LOW FUEL DELIVERY

HIGH FUEL DELIVERY
Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with directional arrows indicating flow or movement (no text or labels)

As the metering slit is opened, and the upper chamber pressure tends to increase, the diaphragm is pushed downwards increasing the flat seat valve opening to the injector line such that the upper chamber pressure remains at 0.1 bar below that of the lower chamber. This pressure differential is set by the helical spring. Hence, during operation, the diaphragm is held in equilibrium by the force of the primary fuel pressure on the underside, and by the upper chamber pressure plus the spring pressure on the topside

LD. 5. - FUEL INJECTORS

The fuel injectors are fitted into the inlet manifold, and continuously inject fuel into the intake parts whilst the engine is running.

The injectors have no metering function but open at a specified pressure and inject the fuel allocated to them by the fuel distributor.

The injector nozzles are fitted with a valve needle which vibrates at high frequency as the fuel flow pressure lifts the valve on and off its seat, producing a finely atomised spray.

Fuel atomisation is further aided, especially at low engine speeds, by an air stream flowing around the injector. This air stream is supplied via a passageway running across the top of the inlet manifold, and a hose connecting with the intake plenum.

Air Stream Inlet From Plenum Fuel Injector Valve Housing Fuel Injector A - Closed B - Open Filter Valve Needle Valve Seat A B

When the engine inlet valves are closed, the air/fuel vapour cloud formed, is stored in the intake port, to be drawn into the cylinder when the inlet valves open again.

When the engine is stopped, the fuel pressure drops below that required to open the injector valves, so shutting the valves and preventing fuel dripping into the ports.

LD. 6 - MIXTURE ADAPTATION

The system so far described provides a fuel/ air mixture suitable for normal running. Various supplementary devices are required in order to adapt the mixture strength for differing climatic, transient and emissions related conditions. These components include those providing enriched mixture strength for cold starting and running, fuel cut-off on overrun, and adjustment of mixture to achieve minimal harmful emissions.

LD. 7 - COLD START INJECTOR

When starting a cold engine, the cranking speed induces very low air flow with resulting low fuel delivery to the injectors. The additional fuel necessary for cold starting is supplied by the cold start injector only at cranking, and for a maximum duration of between 0.1 and 8.0 seconds dependant on coolant temperature.

Cold Start Injector Auxiliary Air Valve Fuel Injector Cold Start Injector Air Supply Adaptor Cold Start Air Rail Thermal Time Switch

The single cold start injector is fitted into an air rail running alongside the fuel injector air stream rail on the inlet manifold. Connecting passages join this air rail with each intake tract. A hose from the auxiliary air valve allows a flow of air to be drawn around the cold start injector on engine cranking to finely atomise the fuel sprayed from its nozzle.

The cold start injector is a solenoid valve supplied with fuel at primary pressure from the fuel distributor, and is opened by a current supplied via, and for a time period governed by the thermal time switch.

LD. 8. - THERMAL TIME SWITCH

The thermal time switch is fitted into the inlet manifold water jacket between tracts 3 & 4. Its function is to control the injection time of the cold start injector dependent on engine temperature.

The switch consists of a hollow tube, inside which is mounted an electrical contact controlled by a bimetallic strip wound with a heating coil.

The current, supplied to the thermal time switch only whilst the engine is cranked, is passed through the heating coil, and switch contacts to the cold start injector. As the bimetal strip heats up, it bends and opens the contacts, shutting off the injector. Maximum injection time, at -20°C is approx. 8 secs. The warmer the engine is, the more heat is absorbed by the bimetal strip, so that a shorter electrical heating time is needed to break the contact. When the engine is at normal running temperature the switch absorbs sufficient heat to keep the contacts open rendering the cold start injector inoperative.

LD. 9 - AUXILIARY AIR VALVE

In order to overcome the increased friction present in a cold engine, and enable the engine to idle satisfactorily after cold start-up, an auxiliary air valve is fitted between the plenum chamber and cold start air rail to by-pass the throttle butterflies and provide an additional air flow to the engine. Since this air is drawn through the airflow sensor, additional fuel is injected accordingly.

Valve Plate Opening Spring Bi-metallic Strip

The auxiliary air valve consists of a pivoted plate provided with a specially shaped aperture such that by moving the plate the by-pass air supply line may be regulated between fully open and fully closed. Movement of the disc is controlled by an opening spring and a closing, heating coil wound, bimetal strip.

Lotus Turbo Esprit (1980) - 9 - AUXILIARY AIR VALVE - 2

In the cold engine condition the plate adopts a position fully opening the by-pass line. As soon as the ignition is switched on, current flows through the heating coil and gradually causes the bimetal strip to bend and rotate the plate, reducing the by-pass aperture. As the engine warms, and its heat is absorbed by the valve body, the heating effect of the coil is augmented and the plate is rotated further to fully close the by-pass. Engine heat alone is sufficient to ensure that the by-pass remains closed when the engine is warm.

LD.10 - WARM UP REGULATOR

In order to compensate for the condensation of fuel on the inlet tract and cylinder walls whilst the engine is running cold, and to maintain driveability until normal running temperature is reached, it is necessary to enrich the fuel/air mixture during this period.

The warm up regulator fulfils this function by reducing the control pressure by an amount dependent on engine temperature. When the control pressure is reduced, the fuel control valve in the distributor is allowed to move further for a given airflow and open a greater proportion of the metering slits, increasing fuel flow to the injectors.

B NORMAL RUNNING TEMPERATURE

  1. Spring

  2. Aneroic Capsule

The warm up regulator consists of a flat seat valve controlling the return of fuel from the control pressure line to the tank. The valve is held closed by a coil spring, but this is opposed by a bimetallic spring wound with a heating element which is fed with current whilst the ignition is switched on.

When cold, the bimetal spring overcomes the coil spring and opens the valve, such that the control pressure is low, and the mixture rich on engine start up. As the engine runs, the bimetal spring is heated, both by its heating coil, and by engine heat absorbed by the regulator, and gradually reduces its opening force on the valve. Finally, when the engine reaches normal running temperature, the bimetal spring is sufficiently heated to lift clear of the valve rod so that the control pressure is controlled only by the coil spring.

LD. 11. - HIGH ALTITUDE COMPENSATION

Operating the engine at high altitude where the air density is lower, requires that some compensation be made by the fuel metering system to prevent the mixture becoming too rich.

This compensation is achieved by incorporating an aneroic capsule into the base of the warm up regulator. The valve rod is extended to abut against the capsule, which is held in a 'flattened' condition by atmospheric pressure and a leaf spring as shown in the warm up regulator diagram. At high altitude, the reduced atmospheric pressure results in the aneroic capsule 'expanding' and exerting an additional closing force on the control pressure valve, raising the control pressure and compensating the mixture strength for altitude.

LD. 12 - EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL

The minimum production of harmful exhaust gas emissions is achieved primarily through the use of starter and main 'three way' catalysts combined with very accurate fuel metering.

The optimum air/fuel ratio for minimum emission of all three noxious components - carbon monoxide CO, unburnt hydrocarbons HC, and nitrogen oxide NOx, and also for minimum fuel consumption with maximum driveability, is about 14 to 1 by weight. This is sometimes referred to as the 'stoichiometric ratio'.

The air/fuel ratio may also be represented by expressing the amount of air present in the mixture as a proportion of that amount required for a stoichiometric ratio. This proportion, the excess air factor, when used in connection with Bosch fuel injection, is referred to by the Greek letter Lambda (L). Thus, when Lambda (L) = 1, the correct amount of air is present, and the air/fuel ratio = 14 to 1.

| Excess-air factor | CO | CH | NOx | | ----------------- | ----- | ----- | ----- | | 0.8 | ~0.8 | ~0.6 | ~0.1 | | 0.9 | ~0.4 | ~0.3 | ~0.1 | | 1.0 | ~0.1 | ~0.1 | ~0.1 | | 1.1 | ~0.2 | ~0.2 | ~0.1 |

When L is greater than 1, too much air is present and the mixture is lean. When L is less than one, too little air is present, and the mixture rich.

LD. 13 - LAMBDA SENSOR

It is possible to determine the excess air factor of the mixture being delivered to the cylinders by measuring the oxygen content of the exhaust gas before the catalyst. This is achieved by fitting a Lambda sensor into the exhaust system between the turbocharger and catalyst.

The Lambda sensor is calibrated such that deviations from L = 1 (the desired air/fuel ratio) result in a sudden change to its output voltage signal. This signal is used by an electronic control unit to determine the fuel delivery correction necessary. This correction is made via a 'Frequency Valve' fitted between the fuel distributor and tank. The sensor is fitted with its own heating coil which is used to heat the sensor to operating temperature after engine start up. Signals from the sensor are only processed at engine oil temperatures above 35° C.

LD. 14 - FREQUENCY VALVE (Timing Valve)

Corrections to the fuel delivery as determined by the Lambda sensor and electronic control unit (E.C.U.), are made by altering the fuel pressure beneath the diaphragms of the differential valves in the fuel distributor.

1. Fuel Inlet 2. Small Orifice (Fixed Throttle) 3. Lower Chamber 4. Frequency Valve 5. Return to Tank 6. Metering Slit

In order that the pressure in these lower chambers may be varied, the connection between their ring main and the regulated primary pressure is fitted with a small orifice (fixed throttle), and a return line from the lower chambers to the tank is provided with a variable throttle. In this way, if the variable throttle is closed, regulated primary pressure will be present in the lower chambers, whilst opening the variable throttle allows fuel in the lower chambers to bleed off back to the tank, hence lowering the pressure.

Lowering the pressure beneath the diaphragms will increase the pressure differential across the metering slits and increase fuel delivery to the injectors.

The variable throttle takes the form of a Frequency Valve, which continuously cycles open/closed, with the ratio between open and closed periods being determined by the electronic control unit.

LD. 15 - ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (E.C.U.)

The function of the electronic control unit is to process information fed to it by various sensors including the exhaust gas Lambda sensor, and set an open/close ratio for the frequency valve.

This method of regulating the air/fuel ratio to Lambda = 1.0 by continuously monitoring exhaust gas oxygen content, is called Lambda closed loop control, and may be represented by the following flow chart.

graph TD A["Lean mixture"] --> B["Rich mixture"] B --> C["Low sensor voltage"] C --> D["Regulated fuel pressure decreases"] D --> E["Injected fuel quantity increases"] E --> F["High sensor voltage"] F --> G["No Oxygen in exhaust gases"] G --> H["Open/close ratio of Frequency Valve is decreasing"] H…

Certain operating conditions require different air/fuel ratios, and it is necessary to switch to an open loop control system with a preset frequency valve open/close ratio.

The open/close ratio of the solenoid operated frequency valve is controlled by an electrical pulse sent to open the valve many times a second. Under normal running conditions, the valve is opened for about 50% of the time, and the pulse rate supplied to it is referred to as 50% duty cycle. 100% duty cycle would mean the valve is held permanently open.

The E.C.U. sets fixed duty cycles under the following conditions:

i) 75% duty cycle at engine oil temperatures below 35° C as sensed by the the low temperature switch.
ii) 65% duty cycle on engine overrun, when fuel by-pass valve (LD.16) is operating.
iii) 65% duty cycle at throttle butterfly openings of more than 30°, as sensed by the throttle position switch.
iv) 65% duty cycle at engine speeds higher than 3250 rpm as sensed by 'fuel enrichment module' mounted on RH fuel tank board.
v) 50% duty cycle if a defect in the Lambda sensor is detected (unless conditions i, ii, iii or iv above apply).

At idle speed, the E.C.U. updates the closed loop duty cycle rate more quickly in order to stabilize idle rpm.

LD. 16 - FUEL BY-PASS VALVE

The fuel shut off valve has been incorporated into the fuel system to improve economy during engine overrun by returning the air sensor plate to its rest position, shutting off the fuel supply. This is achieved by collapsing the depression below the sensor plate by allowing air from the air cleaner housing to be fed directly into the air ducting below the plate.

The valve is controlled by an electric power supply and manifold vacuum but governed by the engine coolant temperature, engine speed and the position of the throttle. The valve has an air inlet and outlet with the inlet spigot pressed into a grommet in the air cleaner main body while the outlet is connected by hose to the air flow sensor lower housing. When the valve is triggered to its open position air will be drawn through the valve into the lower housing collapsing the vacuum below the plate. The sensor plate movement will be restored as soon as the valve closes.

The following conditions must occur for the valve to be activated:

The coolant temperature, sensed by the high temperature switch must be above 70°C. This is to ensure that the driveability is not affected during engine warm up.

The throttle must be 'closed'. A throttle position switch controls this operation ensuring that the by-pass valve only operates in the idle position.

The engine must be decelerating from a speed greater than 1600 rpm. Two critical speeds control the valve operation. It will not be activated unless the engine is decelerating from above 1600 rpm and it will cut out once the speed drops down to 1400 rpm. The engine speeds are monitored by a speed sensing relay, mounted in the ignition box at the rear of the engine bay.

LD. 18 - VACUUM OPERATED ENGINE MANAGEMENT DEVICES

These include the Thermal Ignition Valve, (T.I.V.) Ignition Solenoid, and Throttle Jacking Capsule.

Thermal Ignition Valve (T.I.V.)

The T.I.V. is fitted into the inlet manifold water rail and controls the vacuum feed to the distributor advance capsule (D.A.C.). At water temperatures below 53°C, the T.I.V. directs a vacuum pump feed to the distributor advance capsule to improve cold driveability, but changes the feed above this temperature to a throttle edge drilling on no. 3 intake tract.

Ignition Solenoid & Throttle Jacking Capsule (T.J.C.)

The ignition solenoid controls the vacuum supply to the throttle jacking capsule, and is switched by an electrical feed from the high temperature switch, fitted into the inlet manifold water jacket between tracts 1 & 2.

At water temperatures below 70° C the high temperature switch supplies current to the ignition solenoid, which then directs a vacuum pump fed to the T.J.C. to increase cold engine idle speed. Above 70° C the solenoid is de-energised and the T.J.C. connected with the upstream throttle port.

LD. 19 - AIR CONDITIONING IDLE UP SOLENOID

The purpose of the A/C idle up solenoid is to maintain engine idle speed when the air conditioning compressor is operating.

The solenoid is fitted on the RH fuel tank board, and connected by hose between the inlet manifold cold start air rail and the underside of the airflow sensor. The valve is of the 'normally open' type, and is closed when the solenoid is energised.

At water temperatures below 70° C the valve is open at all times, to aid cold running and idling. At water temperatures above 70° C the solenoid is energised and the valve shuts. If however, the air conditioning compressor is operating, the solenoid valve de-energises and opens whenever engine speed is below 1400 rpm. (Controlled by the fuel by-pass relay).

LD. 20 - EVAPORATIVE LOSS SYSTEM

The fuel evaporative loss system includes a charcoal canister, one way valve, and crankcase breather valve.

Charcoal Canister

The breather pipes from the fuel tank filler necks are routed via a roll-over valve (to prevent fuel spillage if the car is inverted) to port 'FT' on the charcoal canister, where the fumes are absorbed in charcoal before being purged into the engine.

Similarly, when the engine is stopped, fumes from the intake system are vented to the canister via a hose linking the airflow sensor lower body to canister port 'C'.

In order to cleanse the charcoal of fuel absorbed in this manner, arrangements are made for fresh air to be drawn through the canister and consumed by the engine. Two different connections are used to purge the canister under different engine operating conditions.

Port 'P' on the canister is connected via a one way valve to the inlet manifold cold start air rail, such that when the engine is running at small throttle opening, or on overrun, (i.e. with high manifold vacuum) air is drawn through the canister and one way valve into the inlet manifold, and is then consumed by the engine.

One Way Valve Charcoal Canister A/C Idle Up Solenoid Crankcase Breather Valve Vent to Atmosphere To Fuel Tanks

In addition, the small depression below the airflow sensor causes a lesser purge to take place through canister port 'C'.

At water temperatures above 70° C, with wide throttle openings and high rpm, when turbo boost pressure in developed, inlet manifold pressure becomes positive, and the manifold air rail hose is sealed by the one way valve, and A/C idle up solenoid (will not open above 1400 rpm). Purging now takes place through canister port 'C' to the depression (greater now with increased airflow) below the airflow sensor.

Crankcase Breather Valve.

Crankcase fumes are ventilated via the crankcase breather valve into the air cleaner housing. Positive crankcase pressure developed during normal running, is able to vent through the one way breather valve into the air cleaner housing.

In order to prevent these fumes, under low airflow engine idle conditions, escaping through the inlet trunking to atmosphere, the valve is also connected via a smaller bore hose, to the mild depression below the airflow sensor. This enables crankcase fumes at idle to pass directly into the intake tract and suppresses opening of the breather valve.

LD. 21 - ENGINE WARM UP SUMMARY

Engine Cranking

As soon as engine cranking takes place, the rpm relay switches on the fuel pumps and the system is pressurised to 6.5 bar main primary pressure. Air induced into the engine moves the airflow sensor which opens the fuel control valve and allows fuel to be delivered to the injectors. In addition, fuel is supplied by the cold start injector for a period controlled by the thermal time switch. Air by-passes the throttle butterflies via the auxiliary air valve and a/c idle up solenoid valve.

Cold Run - Below 35° C Oil Temp.

When the engine starts, the cold start injector closes, if it has not already done so, but air continues to flow via the auxiliary air valve, which closes as the engine warms. The ignition solenoid directs a vacuum pump supply to the throttle jacking capsule, and to the thermal ignition valve which itself directs the supply to the distributor advance capsule.

The control pressure set by the warm up regulator, is low, but increasing as the engine warms.

The frequency valve is set to run open loop @ 75% duty cycle rate.

Cold Run - Above 35°C Oil Temp., Below 53°C Water Temperature

As 35°C oil temperature is reached, the E.C.U. switches the frequency valve to run 'closed loop' (i.e. controlled by Lambda sensor @ around 50% duty cycle for L = 1).

Cold Run - Between 53° and 70° C Water Temp.

When 53°C water temp. is reached, the thermal ignition valve cuts off the vacuum pump supply to the D.A.C. and connects it with the throttle edge drilling.

Normal Running - Above 70°C Water Temp.

When 70°C water temp. is reached, the ignition solenoid cuts off the vacuum pump supply to the throttle jacking capsule.

The a/c idle up solenoid valve opens only at idle with the compressor operating.

LD 22 - FUEL SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS

Always ensure absolute cleanliness when working on any part of the fuel system. Thoroughly clean around any joint before disconnecting a component.

Pressure is maintained in the fuel system after the ignition is switched off by the action of the fuel accumulator, primary pressure regulator and control pressure shut-off valve. Therefore whenever disconnecting a fuel system joint, take care to use an absorbent cloth to protect from spray, and soak up the small amount of fuel released.

Take all necessary precautions to prevent sparks occurring whilst a fuel joint is disconnected.

Ensure that new sealing washers and gaskets are used on re-assembly, and that all joints are torque tightened in accordance with Section LD 25.

When fuel system tests are being performed involving the collection of fuel from fuel pumps, fuel injectors etc., the very strictest precautions must be taken to prevent sparks occurring in the vicinity of the working area. Any electrical switching necessary in the course of these tests should be performed by the ignition switch, or fuel pump inertia switches.

Ensure the working area is well ventilated

LD 23 ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CHECK/SET UP PROCEDURE

Tools Required

i) Duty Cycle Meter T000T0567
ii) Continuity Meter T000T0568
iii) Exhaust Sample Probe T000T0501
iv) Stroboscopic Timing Light (proprietary)

  1. Connect the duty cycle meter to the frequency valve:

The frequency valve is located ahead of the fuel distributor. Disconnect the electrical plug from the valve and plug in the meter to both the valve, and the harness connector block as shown. Connect the crocodile clip to a good earth.

earth. Duty Cycle Meter Frequency Valve Harness Connector Block

Exhaust Probe

Connect the exhaust sample probe into the turbocharger adaptor and connect to a CO/HC analyser (e.g. Sun EPA 75 or equivalent).

Connect a stroboscopic timing lamp to No. 1 spark plug lead and remove grommet from clutch bell housing.

Start engine and run until normal operating temperature is reached (water temp. above 80°C).

  1. Check idle speed, 950 ± 50 rpm.

DO NOT ADJUST IDLE SPEED WITHOUT FIRST SLACKENING THROTTLE POSITION SWITCH MOUNTING SCREWS ON REAR OF No. 3/4 THROTTLE BODY.

Throttle Position Switch Mounting Screws

If adjustment is required, first slacken the throttle position switch screws, and then adjust idle speed at the stop screw between throttle bodies 2 and 3.

Idle Speed Stop Screw Jacking Capsule Clamp

Adjust throttle cable to suit if necessary.

After adjustment, connect continuity meter T000T0568 to the throttle position switch, and rotate switch until continuity is JUST made. Tighten screws and recheck setting.

  1. Check ignition timing at idle: 15° BTDC using the strobe and flywheel timing mark.

View of Clutch Housing Timing Aperture

Adjust, if necessary, at the distributor clamp. (Special Socket T000T0503)

  1. Check throttle jacking capsule adjustment:

Bridge connections to inlet manifold high temperature switch (use a spare fuse) to activate the capsule. Engine speed should hold at 1300 to 1500 rpm. Adjust if necessary at the clamp between capsule rod and throttle lever. Remove electrical bridge and re-check idle speed.

Jacking Capsule Rod Clamp Screw

  1. Check duty cycle is between 45 - 55% with a 5 to 6% cyclic variation. The cyclic variation (flicking back and forth over a 5 to 6% range) indicates that the 'closed loop' feedback system is operating with the mixture strength constantly being amended by the frequency valve in conjunction with the Lambda sensor and E.C.U.

A steady reading indicates that an open loop circuit is operating (see Electronic Control Unit and wiring diagrams).

Check the CO level is 0.8% ± 0.5% and the HC level, as Hexane, is less than 500 ppm.

If the duty cycle or exhaust gas analysis are outside specification, remove the wiring grommet from the LH engine bay wall, and extract the Lambda sensor electrical connector. Disconnect the single spade connector to obtain an open loop exhaust gas reading. (Larger connector block is Lambda heating coil). If the mixture setting is correct disconnecting the Lambda sensor should have no effect on idle rpm.

B - FUEL PRESSURES

Tools required:

Test Gauge T000T0575

Electrical Test Bridges T000T0569

1. Check Primary Pressure

Trip inertia switch, remove fuel pump control relays and fit electrical test bridges into relay bases.

Fit test gauge to fuel distributor inlet connection with gauge valve toward distributor. (see Fuel System Precautions LD.22)

Ensure gauge valve is OPEN

Distributor Inlet Connection Supply Pipe from Pumps

Press down inertia switch and record primary fuel pressure from gauge. Trip inertia switch.

Specification: 6.0 - 6.8 Bar @ 20°C

If pressure is below specification:

2. Check Supply Pressure to Fuel Distributor

i) Check gauge valve is fully open.
ii) Press down inertia switch and gradually close gauge valve very slowly until pressure rises to 10.0 Bar, DO NOT close gauge valve further as pressures in excess of 10 Bar are liable to cause damage to the system and/or gauge.
iii) Trip Inertia switch

Specification: At least 10.0 Bar

If pressure is below specification, check quantity of fuel delivered at secondary fuel pump outlet (see LD 24 A5).

If supply pressure to distributor is OK, but primary pressure too low:

3. Adjust Primary Pressure Regulator

Remove the pressure regulator from the fuel distributor by unscrewing the hexagonal nut shown (see Fuel System Precautions LD. 22).

Primary Pressure Regulator

NOTE THIS ITEM SHOULD NEVER REQUIRE ATTENTION UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES
'O' Ring

Adjusting Shims

Adjust the shim pack as necessary to correct primary pressure - adding 0.1mm shim thickness increases pressure by about 0.15 bar.

Renew 'O' ring and replace regulator into distributor.

Re-test primary pressure.

4. Check Cold Control Pressure

Carry out this test ONLY at an ambient temperature of 30° C or lower.

Fit the test gauge to the warm up regulator as shown.

(See Fuel System Precautions LD.22).

Warm Up Regulator Fuel Distributor

Open gauge valve.

With test bridge fitted, see (1), press down inertia switch and record cold control pressure from gauge. Trip inertia switch.

Compare the reading obtained with the graph shown.

"Cold" Control Pressure
| Ambient Temperature | Control Pressure (bar kgf/cm²) | Air Pressure (mbar) | | ------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------ | | 10° | 1.6 | 840 | | 20° | 2.3 | 860 | | 30° | 3.0 | 880 | | 40° | 3.5 | 900 | | 40° | 3.6 | 920 | | 40° | 3.7 | 940 |

The basic curve applies for an air pressure of 947 mbar and higher (corresponding to see level up to an altitude of about 600 m above see level).

Permissible tolerance of the basic curve: + 0.2 bar.

If the site where the measurements are made is located at higher altitudes, it is essential that the exact air pressure in known on the day when the measurements are made in order to determine the correct control pressure. (Use an accurate barometer, or ask the weather bureau or an airport if one or the other is near and at the same altitude).

Tolerance of the control-pressure altitude curves: + 0.25 bar.

If the "cold" control pressure differs from the nominal value, replace the warm-up regulator.

5. Check Warm Control Pressure

With the test gauge fitted as in (4), (gauge valve open) remove the electrical test bridges, refit fuel pump control relays, and press down inertia switch. Start engine and observe gradual rise in control pressure. When the warm up regulator bimetal strip is fully heated the pressure will stabilise. Record reading and switch off.

Lotus Turbo Esprit (1980) - Check Warm Control Pressure - 1

The nominal control pressure should be read from the curve in accordance with the air pressure.

The effect of the altitude compensation begins at an air pressure of about 933 mbar, i.e. starting at about 600 m. At higher altitudes it is essential that the exact air pressure is known on the day when the measurements are made. (Use an accurate barometer, or ask the weather bureau or an airport if one or the other is near and at the same altitude).

| Time (sec.) | Bar (kgf/cm²) | |-------------|---------------| | 0 | 2.1 | | 10 | 2.3 | | 20 | 2.7 | | 30 | 3.0 | | 40 | 3.3 | | 50 | 3.5 | | 60 | 3.7 |

| Air pressure (mbar) | Control pressure (kgf/cm²) | | ------------------- | -------------------------- | | 800 | 3.5 | | 750 | 3.5 | | 700 | 3.5 | | 650 | 4.0 | | 600 | 4.5 | | 550 | 5.0 | | 500 | 5.0 | | 450 | 5.0 | | 400 | 5.0 | | 350 | 5.0 | | 300 | 5.0 | | 250 | 5.0 |

If the control pressure does not rise from the cold setting, check the feed and earth connections at the warm up regulator.

If warm control pressure is outside specification, replace warm-up regulator.

Lotus Turbo Esprit (1980) - Check Warm Control Pressure - 4

6. Check for Fuel System Leaks, Internal & External

With the fuel pumps running, carry out a thorough visual inspection of all fuel system connections.

With the test gauge fitted as in (4) and with the gauge valve open, start engine and switch off when 'warm' control pressure is reached. Observe and record the drop in pressure with time.

Specification: Minimum 3.0 Bar after 30 mins.

If the pressure drops too quickly, repeat the test, closing the gauge valve as the engine is switched off, thus isolating the control pressure circuit.

If the same result is found, the leak is in the primary pressure circuit. If however, the second result is within specification, the leak is in the control pressure circuit.

Lotus Turbo Esprit (1980) - Check for Fuel System Leaks, Internal & External - 1

Possible causes of primary pressure leak:

i) Non return valve in secondary fuel pump. Replace pump.
ii) Leak from cold start valve or fuel injector. (see Section D & G).
iii) 'O' ring in primary pressure regulator leaking. Replace 'O' ring.
iv) Fuel accumulator leaking past diaphragm. Replace.

Fit the pressure gauge at the fuel distributor inlet connection, and at the secondary fuel pump outlet connection (see Section 'A') and record rate of pressure drop to establish faulty component.

Possible causes of control pressure leak:

i) Control pressure shut off valve leaking. Replace.

Use new sealing washers whenever re-making a fuel system connection, and refer to fuel system torque settings Section LD 25.

C - AUXILIARY AIR VALVE

Cold Test

If the engine is not cold, the valve may be removed and cooled by freezer.

Remove both hoses from the unit, and with the aid of a mirror and lamp, observe the position of the valve plate, which should be partially open, dependent on temperature. If the valve is completely closed, replace the auxiliary air valve.

Quick Test: Clamping off an air valve hose on a cold engine should reduce idle rpm.

Mirror Auxiliary Air Valve Lamp t Test

Hot Test

Disconnect RPM relay and bridge connector block terminals 30 and 87.

After a maximum of 5 minutes the auxiliary air valve must be completely closed aided if necessary by tapping the valve assembly with a soft faced mallet to compensate for lack of engine vibration.

If the valve does not close completely, check the electrical feed to the valve and resistance of the valve heating coil for open circuit. Replace if defective.

Quick Test: Clamping off an air valve hose on a warm engine should have no effect on idle rpm.

D - COLD START INJECTOR

Disconnect the cold stert injector electrical plug and release injector, with pipe attached, from inlet maniflod. Taking care not to kink the fuel pipe, place the injector in a glass jar, or graduate, and fit electrical test lead T000T0570. Connect test leads to ignition coil terminals. Switch on ignition and press test lead button. Fuel should spray from the injector. If no spray, check electrical feed and, if necessary, renew cold start injector.

If spray is OK, switch off ignition and wipe injector nozzle clean. Remove electrical test lead and refit cold start injector plug. Switch on ignition and observe valve for one minute, during which time no fuel should be seen to seep from the valve. Refit injector to manifold.

E - SENSOR PLATE

  1. Remove the air cleaner body for access to the sensor plate. Check that the sensor plate is concentric with and can move freely through the narrowest part of the air funnel.
    Re-position if necessary after loosening the plate fastening screw, and re-tighten to 0.51 - 0.56 kgf.m (3.7 - 4.1 lbf. ft.).

  2. Remove fuel pump control relays, and fit electrical test bridges T000T0569 into relay bases for about 10 seconds to run the fuel pumps and apply control pressure to the fuel control valve in the fuel distributor. Remove test bridges.

Check the rest position of the sensor plate.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with no visible text or symbols

The upper edge of the sensor plate must be flush with the top edge of the funnel's narrowest section, as shown. A position up to a maximum of 0.5 mm higher is permissible, but the lower edge of the sensor plate must not project at any point on its circumference above the funnel narrow section.

NOTE:

The lower edge of the sensor plate is chamfered. Ensure the plate is fitted the correct way up, with the word 'TOP' uppermost and the chamfered edge on the underside.

Chamfered edge on bottom

If the sensor plate rest position is too high, the stop pin for the rest position spring may be adjusted by the careful use of a pin punch and light hammer. CAUTION: Take care not to over adjust, as the mixture control unit must then be removed for the pin to be knocked back. Repeated adjustments will loosen press fit.

Rest Position Pin

If adjustment has to be made, also check ignition system as the likely cause of sensor plate mal-adjustment is backfire down inlet system.

  1. Check the free movement of the airflow sensor and fuel distributor control valve, and comparative fuel delivery between injectors. Remove each injector from maniflod (leave pipe attached) and place in graduated flask T000T0594J. Trip inertia switch. Remove fuel pump control relays and fit electrical test bridges T000T0569 into relay bases. Depress inertia switch.

a) Press down the airflow sensor. The same resistance must be felt over the entire movement. Move the sensor plate rapidly back to a position just in front of the zero stop. The control plunger follows this rapid movement of the sensor plate only sluggishly, and therefore initially loses contact with the sensor plate lever. It must be possible, however, to feel the plunger make contact with this lever again. If this condition is fulfilled, the control plunger can be considered to move freely.

b) Check that the control lever moves freely; press the sensor plate to its full deflection again, and then release it. The sensor plate should snap back to the zero position and bounce up about twice from the spring-loaded stop.

c) Trip inertia switch and remove test bridges. Compare quantity of fuel delivered from each injector. Maximum permissible difference between any two injectors: 7.0% If this tolerance is exceeded, interchange injectors and/or injector feed pipes, and repeat test to establish whether fault lies with injector, feed pipe, or fuel distributor. Replace parts as necessary.

If the sensor control lever is found not to move freely, free pivot as necessary, or replace airflow sensor. If the control plunger does not move freely, remove fuel distributor for access to plunger:

See Fuel System Precautions LD. 22

i) Use a cloth to absorb the small amount of pressurised fuel released when the warm up regulator feed pipe is gradually slackened from the distributor. Release all other fuel pipe connections to the fuel distributor taking all precautions necessary to minimise fire hazard.
ii) Release the three screws securing the distributor to the air flow sensor body and remove distributor taking care that the control valve does not drop out.

Distributor Fixing Screws

iii) Remove the plunger - under certain conditions, in order to do this it may be necessary to blow compressed air against the plunger through the control-pressure connection hole. Hold the plunger with your hand while doing this.

Close-up of a hand holding a small mechanical component (no visible text or symbols)

Clean the plunger thoroughly with petrol. If the plunger still does not move freely, replace the fuel distributor.

iv) Refit the fuel distributor using a new sealing ring between distributor and airflow sensor body. Tighten the three fixing screws to 0.32 - 0.38 kgf.m (2.3 - 2.7 lbf. ft.). Refit fuel pipes to distributor using new sealing washers and tightening M8 bolts to 8.3 kgf. m (7 lbf. ft.), M10 bolts to 2.0 kgf.m (15 lbf. ft.).

v) Carry out the mixture setting up procedure described in LD 23 - H.

F - VACUUM SUPPLY

Use the vacuum switching diagram and a 0.30 in. Hg vacuum gauge to measure the vacuum available at the ignition solenoid, throttle jacking capsule, thermal ignition valve, and distributor advance capsule under the different engine coolant temperatures. A minimum of 18 in. Hg should be recorded at any point in the vacuum line switched to the vacuum pump (with engine running).

If a lesser figure is obtained, check at the vacuum pump. If pump performance is below specification, check vac. pump exhaust pipe for restriction, and 'V' belt drive for fault.

Replace pump if necessary.

With satisfactory vacuum pump performance, clamp off, or disconnect individual components to isolate leaks and replace pipes or components as necessary. Check secure fit of all vacuum pipes.

G - FUEL INJECTORS

  1. Remove the injectors from the inlet manifold (see Fuel System Precautions LD 22) and test individually using tool T000T0580 and white spirit.

  2. Connect an injection valve to the valve tester and bleed the discharge tubing by moving the lever back and forth several times with the union nut open. Then tighten the union nut.

  3. Check for dirt.

Move the hand lever slowly (about 2 seconds per stroke) back and forth with the stopcock on the pressure gauge open. If the pressure does not build up to 1 - 1.5 bar, the injection valve has a leak, caused possibly by dirt in the valve.

Illustration of a mechanical device with a pressure gauge and cylindrical components (no visible text or symbols)

Attempt to flush the injection valve clear by moving the lever back and forth several times vigorously.

If this attempt is successful, continue the test. If it is not possible to flush the valve clear, replace it.

  1. Test the opening pressure.

With the stopcock closed, flush the valve out and bleed it with several rapid movements of the lever.

Open Close

Open the stopcock and test the opening pressure by moving the lever slowly (about 2 seconds per stroke).

Injector opening pressure: 3.5 ± 0.6 Bar If the opening pressure is outside.tolerance, replace the injection valve. Individual valves can be changed within a set.

  1. Leakage test.

Open the stopcock, build the pressure up slowly to a value 0.5 Bar under the opening pressure determined previously and hold it constant at that level. The injector must not drip for at least 15 seconds.

  1. Chatter test, evaluation of spray.

Move the lever back and forth at about 1 stroke per second. As this is done, the valve must chatter. No drops of fuel must form at the mouth of the valve. The valve must not produce a "cord spray". Formation of a single-sided atomized spray within an overall spray angle of about 35° is permissible (see example given in illustrations).

7. Refitting fuel injectors:

Ensure 'O' rings are undamaged. Lubricate the manifold injector hole with a silicone spray and carefully slide the injector down the hole pressing it away from the air rail cross-drilling hole.

Push the larger 'O' ring into its recess using a tube of suitable diameter so that pressure is applied directly to the 'O' ring.

Fit and tighten the injector retaining clamp.

Torque tighten fuel pipe connection to 2.0 kgf.m (15 lbf.ft.).

H - BASIC MIXTURE ADJUSTMENT

Refer to section LD 23 to establish whether the basic mixture setting requires adjustment, or some other component is the cause of an out of specification duty cycle reading.

If adjustment is required:

Mixture Adjustment Screw Access Hole

Remove the anti-tamper plug from the mixture control unit, and use a 3 mm allen key to turn the airflow sensor lever adjusting screw clockwise to reduce the duty cycle rate, or counterclockwise to increase the duty cycle meter reading. Turn only a small amount at a time, and blank off the access hole (with finger) between adjustments. 'Blip' the throttle and re-check duty cycle reading.

When adjustment is completed, refit the anti tamper plug to the access hole. Repeat LD 23 checking procedure.

If a new mixture control unit, or component thereof, is fitted to the engine, or if, for whatever other reason the setting of the basic mixture adjustment screw is unknown or in doubt, it is essential to carry out the following procedure to prevent the possibility of the engine hydraulic locking and causing extensive internal damage.

Disconnect one injector pipe and fit a slave injector, placing into a glass jar or graduate. Trip inertia switch. Remove fuel pump control relays and fit electrical test bridges T000T0569 into relay bases.

Remove anti-tamper plug from mixture adjustment screw access hole.

Press down inertia switch and briefly press down airflow sensor to prime fuel injector.

Using a 3mm allen key, turn the mixture adjustment screw, without pressing down the airflow sensor, until fuel can just be seen to drip from the injector. Turn the screw 1/2 turn counterclockwise. Trip inertia switch and remove electrical test bridges. Refit fuel pump control relays, and reset inertia switch. Remove slave injector and re-connect injector pipe.

Temporarily blank off mixture screw access hole whilst following LD 23 procedure to check duty cycle rate, and adjust if necessary as above.

I - THROTTLE DOES NOT OPEN COMPLETELY

Check that with the accelerator pedal pressed to its fullest extent, the full throttle stop bracket on the butterfly spindle is in contact with the throttle body abutment. Adjust throttle pedal downstop as necessary.

J - THERMO-TIME SWITCH

To test the switch, remove from the manifold and plug the hole to prevent coolant loss. The switching temperature and time period at - 20°C are stamped on one of the switch hexagon flats.

Measure the resistance between the connection listed in the table after standing the switch in water at the appropriate temperature for 10 minutes. Replace switch if necessary.

L - FUEL BY-PASS VALVE

With the engine at normal running temperature, remove the valve from the air filter box, and observe the valve action on closed throttle engine overrun conditions. If the valve does not open, check electrical feed and refer to electrical sections LD. 26/27/28.

Check the closed valve position by blowing down the pipe.

M - THROTTLE JACKING CAPSULE

With engine idling at normal operating temperature, check first that idle speed is correct @ 950 ± 50 rpm. Do not adjust without first referring to Section LD 23.

Capsule Rod Clamp Screw

Bridge connections to high temperature switch in inlet manifold (use a spare fuse) to activate the capsule. Engine speed should hold at 1300 to 1500 rpm. Adjust if necessary at the clamp between capsule rod and throttle lever. Remove electrical bridge and re-check idle speed.

N - THROTTLE POSITION SWITCH

Connect continuity meter T000T0568 to the throttle position switch. With the throttles shut the meter should indicate continuity by buzzing, which should stop at the smallest throttle opening. At about 30° of throttle angle, continuity should again be made.

IT IS ESSENTIAL TO SLACKEN THE THROTTLE POSITION SWITCH MOUNTING SCREWS BEFORE ADJUSTING ENGINE IDLE SPEED. IMBALANCE OF THE THROTTLE BUTTERFLIES MAY OTHERWISE OCCUR.

E BUTTERFLIES MAY OTHERWISE OCCUR. Throttle Position Switch Mounting Screws

If the throttle position switch requires adjustment, check first that the warm idle speed is correct. Slacken the throttle position switch mounting screws before making any idle speed adjustment. When completed, rotate the position switch slowly until continuity is JUST made, and tighten screws. Recheck setting.

O - AIR LEAKS IN EXHAUST/INLET

To check for air leaks in the exhaust and inlet system:

Disconnect the turbo to diffuser hose, and apply an airline with a suitable sealing adaptor into the diffuser. Seal the exhaust tailpipe with a bung.

Paint all inlet/exhaust system joints and seals with a soap & water solution and check for leaks whilst applying an air pressure of 5 lb/in 2 into the diffuser.

P - THROTTLE IMBALANCE

If throttle imbalance is diagnosed in procedure LD23, check the throttle position switch switch adjustment (LD24N).

CAUTION The throttle bodies and inlet manifold assembly are balanced as a car set by mass flow, and the throttle bleed channels permanently sealed at the factory. Although provision is made for measuring the inlet manifold depression on cylinders 2 & 3 and adjusting the throttle spindle coupling, this setting should not be disturbed unless essential.

Throttle imbalance can only be caused by abuse of the throttle spindle assembly, or replacement of a throttle lever or return spring.

Investigate all other potential causes of incorrect CO levels before proceeding.

Tools required:

Special Diffuser

T000T0583

Coupling Spanner

T000T0584

Manometer

T000T0499

Balance Tubes

T000T0496 (2)

Remove the blanking plugs from inlet tracts 2 and 3 and fit the balance tubes T000T0496. Connect to manometer. Remove diffuser, and fit special diffuser T000T0583 in its place.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical clamp assembly with no visible text or symbols

With engine idling at normal running temperature examine the depression in tracts 2 and 3. Use spanner T000T0584 to slacken the coupling locknut and adjust coupling screw, to obtain optimum balance between mercury columns. Re-tighten locknut and re-check balance.

Remove special tools, and return to procedure LD23. If throttle imbalance is still indicated as the cause of high CO readings, the throttle bodies and manifold assembly must be replaced as a set, mass flowed at the factory.

Circuit Descriptions

  1. Base Circuit. Ignition Off. Cold Engine (Below 35°C)

A positive feed is provided to the RPM relay.

  1. Cold Crank. Below 35°C Oil Temp.

When the ignition is switched on, the Lambda sensor heating coil is operated, and the fuel by-pass control relay activated via the throttle position switch earth circuit. An ignition feed is also provided to terminal 15 of the rpm relay.

When the engine is cranked, a negative signal from the ignition coil activates the electronic control in the RPM relay allowing the ignition feed to operate the relay coil, and earth via terminal 31. The relay contacts now connect the positive feed from terminal 30 to the fuel pumps via terminal 87b, and to the injection control circuit via terminal 87.

The injection control circuit supplies a positive feed to terminal 8 of the E.C.U., the frequency valve and the heating coils of the auxiliary air valve and warm up regulator.

The closed high temp. switch supplies the fast warm up relay. See circuit (3). A feed from the cold start contact on the starter motor solenoid supplies the cold start injector which is controlled by the thermal time switch.

Earth signals are supplied to terminals 12 and 6 of the E.C.U. via the low temp. switch and fuel by-pass control relay (via idle changeover relay).

  1. Cold Run & Idle. Below 35° C Oil Temp.

Similar to circuit (2) except:

The cranking circuit feed to the thermal time switch and cold start injector is switched off.

The fast warm up relay, activated by the closed high temperature switch, provides an earth circuit for the ignition solenoid which receives a feed from the ignition auxiliary circuit. The ignition solenoid operates the throttle jacking capsule which, at idle, prevents the throttle position switch 'closed' contact closing. No earth signal is supplied to E.C.U. terminal 6.

  1. Cold Run & Idle. Above 35° C Oil Temp. Below 70° C Water Temp.

Similar to circuit (3) except:

Low temp. switch opens and cuts off earth signal to E.C.U. terminal 12. Lambda sensor operational.

  1. Normal Idle. Above 70°C Water Temp.

Similar to circuit (4) except:

High temp. switch opens and de-energises the fast warm up relay. This relay now provides an earth (via the idle up relay) for the idle up solenoid which is energised and closes.

The ignition solenoid is de-energised, which de-activates the throttle jacking capsule (vacuum operated) allowing the throttle position switch to close. The throttle position switch energises the fuel by-pass control relay, which provides an earth signal (via idle changeover relay) to E.C.U. terminal 6.

  1. Normal Run, Above 1600 rpm. Above 70°C Water Temp. Below 30° Throttle Angle

Similar to circuit (5) except:

Throttle position switch is open. No earth signal to E.C.U. terminal 6. Negative feed from ignition coil activates speed sensing module in fuel by-pass speed sensing relay and allows ignition feed from terminal 15 to energise the relay and earth via terminal 31 and the fast warm up relay. Terminal 88a of the fuel by-pass speed sensing relay, supplies a 12 volt positive to the idle up control relay, which prevents the a/c idle up solenoid opening, and to the idle changeover relay.

  1. Normal Run. Above 70°C Water Temp. Over 30° Throttle Angle.

Similar to circuit (6) except:

Throttle position switch supplies earth signal to E.C.U. terminal 7.

  1. Overun. Above 1400 RPM. Decelerating from over 1600 RPM

Similar to circuit (6) except:

Throttle position switch is closed energising the fuel by pass-control relay. This provides an earth signal via the idle changeover relay to E.C.U. terminal 7.

The energised fuel by-pass control relay also provides an earth circuit for the fuel by-pass valve and 'ECON' lamp.

Below 1400 rpm, the fuel by-pass speed sensing relay drops out, and circuit (5) applies.

  1. Air Conditioning Compressor Operating. At Idle, Above 70°C Water Temp.

Similar to circuit (5) except:

A feed from the compressor circuit is directed via the idle up control relay to energise the idle up relay. This cuts off the earth circuit for the a/c idle up solenoid, which is de-energised and opened.

This circuit only operates below 1400 rpm.

  1. Light Throttle. Over 3250 RPM

Similar to circuit (6) except:

The fuel enrichment module, supplied with a negative feed from the ignition coil, senses when an engine speed of 3250 rpm is reached, and allows an ignition feed to operate the relay coil and close the relay contacts. This provides an earth signal to E.C.U. terminal 7.

23. Inertia Switch

Location: Coil box

Mating connector colour: Grey

The safety inertia switch is designed to operate on impact, such as would occur in an accident, to disconnect the fuel pumps and minimise any fire hazard.

To reset the switch, in the event of its tripping, press down the reset plunger on the top.

  1. Engine Overspeed/Fuel Pump Failure Module

Location: Top of right hand tank board. (Under filler neck)

Mating connector colour: Natural. Additional information see LD 3.

The module senses low tension ignition pulses and supplies a negative to the fuel pump control relay winding.

In the event of excessive engine speed (7,000 ± 50 R.P.M.) this feed is removed thereby stopping the injection system operating and limiting engine R.P.M. Also in the event of one of the two fuel pumps failing to operate the maximum engine R.P.M. is restricted to 2,800 ± 50 R.P.M. This is achieved by monitoring the current drawn by each pump and removing the negative to the fuel pump control relay windings at 2,800 ± 50 R.P.M. in the event of one pump failing to draw any current. Therefore any part of the circuit between the module and the pump, going open circuit, will be detected and engine R.P.M. restricted. (This unit will therefore sense blown fuse, broken or disconnected fuel pump wiring.)

Disconnection of the module will not allow the fuel pumps to operate. Single pump failure may cause the fuse in the other pump circuit to blow due to the increased load imposed on it (dependent on position in which failed pump fails). This circuit is designed as a "get you home" aid in the event of failed fuel pump but the vehicle require attention to the fuel pump system as soon as possible.

  1. Fuel Pump Control Relays (2)

Location: Coil box

Mating connector colour: Black

Double contact relay (schematic as shown in item 1).

Controlled by the engine overspeed/fuel pump failure module, overboost switch and inertia switch. Switches positive feed, via 15 amp fuses to individual fuel pump circuits.

  1. Overboost Switch

Location: Coil box

Mating connector colour: White. Additional information see LD 3.

Supplies, via terminal 87b of the R.P.M. relay, a positive feed to the winding of the fuel pump control relay. This feed is removed, thereby de-energising the fuel pumps, in the event of an engine fault condition of excessive turbo boost pressure.

  1. Fuel Enrichment Module

Location: Top of right hand fuel tank board.

Mating connector colour: White. Additional information see LD 27 - 10

Senses engine speed of 3250 rpm via negative feed from ignition coil, and switches ignition feed to operate relay coil and close relay contacts. This provides earth signal to E.C.U. terminal 7.

MB.4.- LUMENITION IGNITION SYSTEM

Early Series 3 and Turbo models used Lumenition infra red solid state contact breakerless ignition. On early Turbo models, the Lumenition power module was mounted on the engine bay side of the right hand fuel tank well, but was moved on introduction of the Esprit S3, to the ignition box at the rear of the engine bay.

An optical switch is fitted in the otherwise standard distributor and is operated by a 4 - blade chopper fitted over the distributor cam. A special fibre washer is sometimes used below the chopper blade to achieve the correct blade height through the optical switch.

Two types of Lumenition system have been used, the earlier Mk 16 type being superceded by the Mk 17 type, during 1980 as a running change on production. Components of either type are not individually compatible.

Identification - Power Module

Identification of power modules is only possible by the colour of the resin or plastic block sealing the wires into the module unit.

Mkl6 units are sealed with red or black resin. Mkl7 units are sealed by a white plastic clamp.

- Optical Switch

MK 16 optical switch units are marked with numbers similar to 8240, the 8 and 0 being the year and 24 the week of production.

Mk 17 optical switch units were also produced in 1980 but have a 17 preceding the number i.e. 17 8240.

All units produced in 1981 are Mk 17 with numbers similar to 8124, with 81 being the year and 24 the week of production. In the event of an ambiguous date code (e.g. 8120) contact the Lotus Service Department for advice.

Replacement

If a new power module for a Mk 16 system is required, it can only be replaced with a Mk 17 power module in conjunction with a Mk 17 optical switch.

If a Mk 16 optical switch is to be replaced, it can only be replaced with a Mk 17 optical switch, which, if the Mk 16 power module is to be retained, will necessitate the use of convertor unit A083M6305F fitted between the Mk 16 power module and Mk 17 optical switch.

Connector Blocks

Mk 16 systems used a rectangular connector block between the optical switch and power module. Mk 17 systems used an oval connector block with retaining prongs, which was subsequently found to be less durable than the earlier rectangular type.

All service replacement components are supplied fitted with the rectangular type connector, and include the opposite 'half' of the connector block which may be used if necessary to replace the remaining oval connector. viz:-

  1. Use special tool T000T0473 to close locking tag on pin and remove from wire end of connector block by pulling. MOST IMPORTANT - open tag to original locking angle.

T000T 0473 AJLAAP DEC 1986

  1. Having made certain tags are in locking position, push each pin in the correct tunnel of the new connector block until the tag clicks into position.

The connector is numbered as illustration

1 2 3 Red Black Blue

NOTE: On no account must Mk 17 power modules be connected with Mk 16 optical switches. Also, Mk 16 modules must not be connected to Mk 17 optical switches without use of adaptor A083M6305F.

TESTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR "LUMENITION" MK 16 AND MK 17 IGNITION SYSTEMS

All tests are carried out with ignition switched on and centre HT lead removed from the distributor and held approximately 6.5 mm (1/4 inch) from an earth point such as the engine, but away from the carburettors region.

CAUTION: HT can be dangerous and can jump 25 mm (1 inch). Leads should be handled carefully.

  1. To test the complete system -

With the distributor cap removed and out of strong sunlight, pass a piece of opaque material, such as a piece of black card between the lenses of the optical switch - this should produce a spark from the HT lead to earth.

  1. To test power module (and coil) -

a). Unplug 3-way connector leading to the distributor.

b). Connect (by means of a small piece of wire) -

On Mk 16 the blue to the red On Mk 17 the blue to the black

wire leading to the power module. As this connection is made a spark is produced at the HT lead. If no spark is produced the power module is suspect. If a weak spark is produced - the coil may be suspect.

3. To test the optical switch -

The optical switch must be connected to a good power module. With a sensitive voltmeter measure the voltage between blue and black leads. With infra red beam not interrupted, the voltage is approximately -

Mk 17 (2.7V) Mk 16 (1.8V) - this drops to Mk 17 (1.0V) Mk 16 (0.3V) - with beam interrupted.

N.B. The voltage on the red lead is approximately 7.5V.

4. Do not leave the ignition on for a long time (max 15 mins) with the optical switch assembly disconnected.

NOTE: Under no circumstances should:

a). A full positive feed be applied to any connection other than the red positive wire of the power module supplied with a male Lucas terminal.

b). The coil terminals be short circuited or the brown wire (coil - VE) of the power module be connected to full positive feed.

Failure to observe the notes above will result in catastrophic damage to the power module, invalidating the warranty.

MB.5. - LUCAS CONSTANT ENERGY IGNITION

The Lucas constant energy ignition system is an inductive system in which the energy stored in the coil is maintained constant over a wide range of engine speeds, thereby providing consistently high output voltages. The system comprises a distributor model 45 DM, and ignition coil model 32 C5, an ignition amplifier model AB 14 and an electronic rev. limiter.

The distributor incorporates a variable-reluctance position transducer (pick up) to provide a basic timing waveform. The sintered reluctor has four projections which correspond in function with the cam lobes of a conventional distributor. The pick up comprises a coil and magnet assembly, the pick up air gap (0.20 - 0.35 mm.) being set during manufacture and requiring no subsequent adjustment.

A conventional type rotor arm is fitted, moulded (as is the distributor cap) from track retardant material. The two cables connecting the distributor to the ignition amplifier terminate in a non-reversible "shur plug".

The high energy coil (model 32 C5) is specially designed to achieve the very fast current rise times required for this system. The coil requires no ballast and consumes no current in the stalled engine condition.

The ignition amplifier (AB14) is mounted in the ignition box whilst the electronic rev. limiter unit is fitted on the RH fuel tank board.

The ignition must be switched on for the following checks.

MB.6.- 'MAINTENANCE FREE' BATTERY CHARGING PROCEDURE

Instructions for Tungstone Powermaster Maintenance Free Batteries.

To determine the state of charge of the battery, apply a brief discharge of no more than ten seconds duration (e.g. turn on headlights) with the engine off, and then allow to stand on open circuit for two to three minutes.

Measure the terminal voltage of the battery.

If steady voltage is below 12.4 Volts, recharge battery as follows.

Note: The battery must not be boost charged.

If necessary, fit a replacement battery to the vehicle, whilst original battery is charged as follows.

Remove battery from vehicle.

a). Constant Current: The battery must be charged at a maximum of 5 amps until the battery terminal voltage (on charge) has stabilised over a one hour period, at which time the voltage will be in the range 16.0 - 16.5 V. At this stage the battery must be taken off charge IMMEDIATELY, to prevent excess gassing with resulting water loss which will ultimately reduce the guaranteed service life.
b). Constant Voltage: The battery may be charged at a voltage up to a maximum of 15.8V providing the current is carefully monitored and the charge terminated when the current has tapered off and changes by less than 0.1 amp over a period of one hour. If it is not possible to monitor the current during charging, then the voltage must be restricted to 14.4 V maximum.

MB.7. - DIM-DIP HEADLAMP SYSTEM (U.K. Models)

The Motor Vehicles (Dim-Dip Lighting Devices) Regulations 1983 of the Road Traffic Act, decrees that cars manufactured on or after 1st October 1986 for use in the U.K. and first registered on or after 1st April 1987, shall be fitted with Dim-Dip lighting systems.

The Dim-Dip system must operate as follows:

If, with the vehicle sidelamps lit, the ignition is switched on, the headlamp dip beams (halogen) will operate on a reduced current to provide 10% of their normal intensity.

All 1987 Model Year Domestic cars are fitted with Dim-Dip systems which operate as follows:

The lighting switch is located at the left hand top of the fascia binnacle.

With this switch is the 'up' position, all lights are off.

In the centre position, the side, rear and panel lights are switched on. On U.K. market cars fitted with 'Dim-Dip' headlamps switching on the ignition will raise the headlamp pods with the dip beams operating in 'dim' mode.

With the switch in the 'down' position the headlamp pods are raised with the headlamps lit.

Dip and flash control is unchanged and operates as previously.

Component Location

The dim-dip module is mounted inboard of the right hand headlamp pod well, and the fuse and relay alongside the existing headlamp relays, behind the left hand pod.

Dim-Dip Module A085M6315F Dim-Dip Relay Dim-Dip Fuse (2A)

Feed from H/L Switch → U Feed from Sidelamps → R/G Feed from Dipswitch → U/Y To Dip Beams ← U/R Ignition Feed → G DIM-DIP MODULE 1 2 3 5 6 7 B To Headlamp Motors Ignition Feed DIM-DIP RELAY

i) With sidelamps switched on, a feed is supplied to module terminal 1 and the relay is energised.
ii) When the ignition is switched on, a feed is supplied through the energised relay to the headlamp motors to raise the pods. In addition, a feed is supplied to module terminal 7. The module processes the signals received via terminals 1 and 7 to output a 10% voltage feed to the dip beams via terminal 5.
iii) With the headlamps switched on, a feed from the headlamp switch is supplied to module terminal 2. When dip beam is selected, an additional feed is supplied to module terminal 3. The module processes the signals received and either supplies no output to terminal 5 (when main beam is operating) or full voltage (when dip beam selected).

INSTRUMENT BINNACLE REMOVAL

The instrument binnacle contains a centre panel housing the main instruments, and two side panels housing the tell tale lamps, switches and volt and fuel gauges.

The side panels may be removed with the binnacle 'in situ' by removing the four screws securing the centre panel ABS trim, followed by the single screw securing each side panel at its outermost edge. Access to the fibre optic light source (switch illumination) may be obtained after removal of the right hand side panel. Voltmeter and fuel gauge illumination bulbs may also be replaced after removal of the appropriate side panel. The Brake fail warning lamp relay may also be reached after removal of the left hand side panel.

For access to an instrument housed in the centre panel, it is necessary first to remove the binnacle assembly from the fascia. After removal of the four M6 bolts securing the binnacle assembly to the scuttle crossbeam (accessible from beneath) the binnacle may be raised sufficiently to enable the three wiring loom block connectors to be unplugged, the speedo cable to be released, and the boost and oil pressure gauge pipes to be disconnected. Also release the demist vent duct from the binnacle adaptor.

LUCAS CONSTANT ENERGY IGNITION

The Lucas constant energy ignition system is an inductive system in which the energy stored in the coil is maintained constant over a wide range of engine speeds, thereby providing consistently high output voltages. The system comprises a distributor model 45 DM, and ignition coil model 32 C5, an ignition amplifier model AB 14 and an electronic rev. limiter.

The distributor incorporates a variable-reluctance position transducer (pick up) to provide a basic timing waveform. The sintered reluctor has four projections which correspond in function with the cam lobes of a conventional distributor. The pick up comprises a coil and magnet assembly, the pick up air gap (0.20 - 0.35 mm.) being set during manufacture and requiring no subsequent adjustment.

A conventional type rotor arm is fitted, moulded (as is the distributor cap) from track retardant material. The two cables connecting the distributor to the ignition amplifier terminate in a non-reversible "shur plug".

The high energy coil (model 32 C5) is specially designed to achieve the very fast current rise times required for this system. The coil requires no ballast and consumes no current in the stalled engine condition.

The ignition amplifier (AB 14) is mounted in the ignition box whilst the electronic rev. limiter unit is fitted on the RH fuel tank board.

The ignition must be switched on for the following checks.

Note: If a fault is diagnosed with the distributor pick up assembly, the complete distributor must be replaced as without the specialist equipment required for correct adjustment, extensive engine damage could result from any attempt to replace internal components.

BATTERY RE-CHARGING PROCEDURE

Instructions for Tungstone Powermaster Maintenance Free Batteries.

To determine the state of charge of the battery, apply a brief discharge of no more than ten seconds duration (e.g. turn on headlights) with the engine off, and then allow to stand on open circuit for two to three minutes.

Measure the terminal voltage of the battery.

If steady voltage is below 12.4 Volts, recharge battery as follows.

Note: The battery must not be boost charged.

If necessary, fit a replacement battery to the vehicle, whilst original battery is charged as follows.

Remove battery from vehicle.

a). Constant Current: The battery must be charged at a maximum of 5 amps until the battery terminal voltage (on charge) has stabilised over a one hour period, at which time the voltage will be in the range 16.0 - 16.5 V. At this stage the battery must be taken off charge IMMEDIATELY, to prevent excess gassing with resulting water loss which will ultimately reduce the guaranteed service life.

b). Constant Voltage: The battery may be charged at a voltage up to a maximum of 15.8V providing the current is carefully monitored and the charge terminated when the current has tapered off and changes by less than 0.1 amp over a period of one hour. If it is not possible to monitor the current during charging, then the voltage must be restricted to 14.4 V maximum.

INSTRUMENT BINNACLE REMOVAL

The instrument binnacle contains a centre panel housing the main instruments, and two side panels housing the tell tale lamps, switches and volt and fuel gauges.

The side panels may be removed with the binnacle 'in situ' by removing the four screws securing the centre panel ABS trim, followed by the single screw securing each side panel at its outermost edge. Access to the fibre optic light source (switch illumination) may be obtained after removal of the right hand side panel. Voltmeter and fuel gauge illumination bulbs may also be replaced after removal of the appropriate side panel. The Brake fail warning lamp relay may also be reached after removal of the left hand side panel.

For access to an instrument housed in the centre panel, it is necessary first to remove the binnacle assembly from the fascia. After removal of the four M6 bolts securing the binnacle assembly to the scuttle crossbeam (accessible from beneath) the binnacle may be raised sufficiently to enable the three wiring loom block connectors to be unplugged, the speedo cable to be released, and the boost and oil pressure gauge pipes to be disconnected. Also release the demist vent duct from the binnacle adaptor.

PB.1 - AIR CONDITIONING OPERATING PRINCIPLES

With the air conditioning control 'ON' and engine running, the compressor clutch operates engaging the compressor. Low pressure vapour entering the compressor is converted into high pressure vapour at the output and discharged into a condenser. The vapour is cooled in the condenser changing into a liquid, from here it flows into the receiver-drier, where any foreign matter is expelled.

A sight glass following the receiver-drier provides a means of checking the system is full of refrigerant and operating correctly. High pressure liquid enters the expansion valve where it expands rapidly changing from high to low pressure liquid. As the refrigerant expands in the evaporator it begins to boil, absorbing heat from the core and cooling the air passing through to the passenger compartment. The compressor draws off the low pressure vapourised refrigerant completing the closed circuit and recycling the refrigerant.

Condenser

The condenser is located in front of engine radiator. Air passes over the condenser cooling fins, cooling the 'hot' high pressure refrigerant vapour and condensing it into

a high pressure liquid. The construction of the condenser is similar to the engine radiator but is designed to withstand higher pressures.

Receiver-Drier

Located in the front compartment on the right hand side its purpose is to ensure a supply of liquid refrigerant to the expansion valve in an operational condition. A drier is incorporated in the base of Receiver-drier which absorbs any moisture that entered the system during assembly. Any foreign matter in the refrigerant will also be trapped in the drier.

Some models are fitted with a low pressure cut out switch at the receiver-drier to prevent damage to the compressor due to lack of lubrication from running with a discharged system.

Expansion Valve

The expansion valve is located at the side of the evaporator and thermostatically meters the flow of high pressure liquid refrigerant into the evaporator. The refrigerant supply is controlled by a capillary tube strapped to the outlet pipe of the evaporator, as the temperature changes at the outlet pipe so the refrigerant flow through the valve changes. When liquid to the core of the evaporator exceeds requirement the outlet temperature drops, this is sensed via the capillary tube, closing down the expansion valve and reducing the flow of liquid refrigerant. The expansion valve is pre-set internally and has no external adjustment.

Temperature Control Switch

Turning the control clockwise to the required temperature position will engage the compressor clutch and drive the compressor. On some models when the compressor is running a red light (a light emitting diode above the temperature control switch) is illuminated.

The output from the temperature sensor in the evaporator is compared by an electronic comparator with the setting made on the temperature control switch. When the temperature sensed is greater than the setting, the compressor is engaged via the clutch and the red light is illuminated. The clutch will disengage when the temperature is reached and the red light will extinguish.

The electronic comparator is fitted to the rear of the temperature control switch.

PB2 - AIRFLOW DISTRIBUTION

The heater/air conditioning unit is located beneath the fascia and contains a heater matrix fed with engine coolant via a cable/thermostat operated water valve and a refrigerant evaporator.

Two fan motors are contained behind a cover in the front luggage compartment on the bulkhead. Fresh air is drawn into this cover from a chamber at the base of the windscreen via a fresh air flap, and is then blown into the heater/air conditioning unit for heating/refrigeration and distribution to the various outlet vents. The heater/air conditioning unit itself contains two flaps, a mode flap, controlling airflow through the heater matrix, and a screen flap controlling airflow to the windscreen vents. The fresh air flap and mode flap are operated by vacuum actuators supplied with vacuum on Domestic and ROW cars by the inlet manifold via a non-return valve and reservoir mounted on the left hand fuel tank board, whilst Federal Esprit Turbo's are supplied with vacuum from an engine driven pump.

The vacuum supply is controlled by two valves mounted on a control plate and operated by a cam connected by cable to the distribution control knob. The screen flap is mechanically operated via the distribution control cable, and a bellcrank lever and link.

OFF

In the 'OFF' position, the fresh air vent is closed and the re-circulation vent open.

All heater functions are off.

This setting should be used during city driving to avoid drawing traffic fumes into the car.

With the air conditioning switched on, this is the maximum refrigeration' setting. Air is drawn by the fan from the interior of the car through the re-circulation vent, and is blown through the evaporator to the centre and outer face level vents. Also through the footwell bleed holes (deleted mid '86).

NORM/VENT

The control cam releases the fresh air/re-circulation flap valve, thus closing the re-circulation vent and opening the fresh air vent.

All heater functions remain off.

Fresh air at ambient temperature is supplied to the outer and centre face level vents.

With the air conditioning switched on this is the 'normal' refrigeration setting, supplying refrigerated fresh air to the centre and outer face level vents either by 'ram' effect or fan assisted.

The control cam operates the mode flap valve and starts to move the screen flap link. The mode flap opens the heater matrix and shuts off the centre face level vents. The screen flap moves half way.

With the temperature control in the red sector, heated fresh air is supplied by ram effect or fan assisted, to both screen and footwell vents. Ambient air is still available from the outer face level vents.

The air conditioning may be used with this setting to produce de-humidified air. Close off the outer face level vents for optimum performance.

PB.3 - REFRIGERANT HANDLING

The refrigerant used in the air conditioning system is 'Freon 12' and the following precautions MUST ALWAYS BE OBSERVED.

  1. Do NOT leave refrigerant drums open - always make sure the caps are securely closed.
  2. Do NOT transport drums of refrigerant in the passenger compartment of a car.
  3. Do NOT expose refrigerant drums to high temperature.
  4. Do NOT weld or use a steam cleaner in close proximity of the air conditioning unit.
  5. Do NOT discharge refrigerant vapour into an enclosed area where there is a naked flame. Heavy concentrations of refrigerant when exposed to a naked flame produces a toxic gas, which will also attack metal.
  6. Do NOT expose the eyes to vapourised or liquid refrigerant - ALWAYS wear safety goggles when handling refrigerant.

PB.4 - REFRIGERANT PIPEWORK PRECAUTIONS

The following precautions should be read carefully before carrying out any work on the refrigerant pipework.

  1. When disconnecting any pipe or flexible connection, the system MUST FIRST BE DISCHARGED OF ALL PRESSURE. Open either connection of receiver-drier SLOWLY, cover union with a cloth, so that no injury will occur if liquid is present in the pipe. If pressure is noticed, ALLOW TO BLEED SLOWLY - slacken the union nuts a 'flat' at a time; allow pressure to bleed, slacken the nut a further 'flat', allow pressure to bleed, and so on until all pressure has been expelled (approximately 2 to 3 minutes).

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES WHEN OPENING REFRIGERANT CONNECTIONS.

  1. Pipes, flexible end connections and components, MUST be capped immediately they are opened to prevent the ingress of moisture and/or dirt.
  2. All replacement components and flexible end connections are sealed when new, and should only be opened IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO FITTING, AND AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, to prevent condensation of any moisture which may enter when the sealing is removed.
  3. The receiver-drier should be the LAST component to be connected, this is to ENSURE optimum dehydration and maximum moisture protection of the system.
  4. Precautions MUST be taken to prevent damage to fittings and connections; minute damage could cause a leak due to the high pressures used in the system. ALWAYS USE TWO SPANNERS OF THE CORRECT SIZE (one on each union nut), when releasing or tightening pipes, or connections. This is particularly important with the pipes on the condenser as this unit is constructed from aluminium.
  5. All joints should be coated with refrigeration oil BEFORE making any connections, as this will aid seating.
  6. All pipes and hoses MUST BE FREE from any kinking. The efficiency of the system can be impaired by a single kink, or restriction. Flexible hoses should not be bent to a radius which is less than ten times the diameter of the hose.

PB.5 - CHARGING UNIT WITH REFRIGERANT

The procedure for charging the air condition system is supplied by the manufacturer of the charging trolley used; follow this procedure carefully.

Before charging the system it is first necessary to evacuate the system for the following reasons:

  1. All air is removed from the system to ensure it can be fully charged.
  2. All moisture is removed, which could be harmful to the system.
  3. It provides a means of checking for leaks, which may occur in a faulty connection.

Evacuate the system to a vacuum to 28 inches of mercury (28in Hg) for NOT LESS THAN 20 minutes. The hold period of 20 minutes will allow any leaks to be seen easily and purge the system of any moisture.

The system is charged with 1.4kg (3 lbs) of 'Refrigerant 12', which is made up from 'Freon 12' and 'Arcton 12'. After charging the system it must be checked for gassing, using the following procedure:

  1. Start the engine and adjust engine speed to 1200 r.p.m.
  2. Turn the air conditioning switch fully clockwise, and the fan speed switch to fast. Check that the engine cooling fans have automatically switched on.
  3. View the refrigerant through the sight glass on the top of the receiver-drier, after 5 minutes running there should be no bubbles visible (gassing); an occasional bubble is however acceptable. If the ambient temperature is below 4°C , continuous gassing may occur, it is therefore advised to carry out the checks in a covered garage.

  4. Increase the engine speed to 2000 r.p.m. and check that the refrigerant passing the sight glass is clear of bubbles. If a continuous stream of bubbles still persists then, the refrigerant charge should be increased until the bubbles are no longer present.

  5. Before disconnecting the service valves from the compressor, check the system for leaks using a leak detector capable of detecting a leak of 1 lb in 32 years. This leak standard applies to all connections except the following:

  6. Compressor front seal

  7. Uncapped Schraeder valves
  8. Sight glass

The leak standard for the above is 1 lb in 10 years. It will therefore be necessary to have a leak detector capable of covering both standards. It is recommended that the leak test be performed in a halogen-free atmosphere with no significant draughts of air.

PB.6 - REFRIGERANT QUICK-CHECK PROCEDURE

The following procedure can be used to quickly determine if the air conditioning system has its required charge of refrigerant. This check facilitates system diagnosis by pinpointing the problem to the amount of charge in the system, or by eliminating this possibility from the overall diagnosis.

Start engine and 'run' at 1200 r.p.m. Set controls for maximum cold, with fan at fast speed

SymptomCauseRemedy
a)Continuous bubbles present in sight glassSystem low on charge.Check with leak detector. Correct leak, if any, and fill system to correct charge.
b)No bubbles. Sight glass clear.System is either fully charged or empty.Feel high and low pressure pipes of compressor. High pressure pipe should be warm, low pressure pipe should be cold.
c)No appreciable temperature differential notedSystem empty, or nearly empty.Switch 'off' engine. Re-charge system with refrigerant, and check with leak detector.
d)Temperature differential noted at compressor.Even though a differential is noted, there exits a possibility of overcharge. An overcharge filled system will result in poor cooling.Check by disconnecting the compressor clutch connection (at upper front) while observing the sight glass.
Refrigerant in sight glass remains clear for more than 45 secs., before foaming and settling away from glass.System over-charged.Verify with performance checks.
Refrigerant foams and settles away from sight glass in less than 45 secs.System correctly charged.Continue checking out system using checks as previously given.

Lotus Turbo Esprit (1980) - PB.6 - REFRIGERANT QUICK-CHECK PROCEDURE - 3

The refrigerant oil recommended for use in the compressor and to lubricate flared pipe ends and union threads are:

Frigidair 525

Shell Clavus Oil 33

Texaco Capella E (Waxfree)

Sunisco 5

BP Energol LPT 500

NOTE: (a) The above oils are not given in any order of preference and all are equally suitable.

(b) Keep the oil container tightly capped at all times.

Add additional oil in the following amounts for any of the system components listed which are being replaced:

Receiver-Driver 1 fluid oz.

Condenser 1 fluid oz.

Evaporator (air

conditioning unit) 3 fluid ozs.

PB.8 - REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL CHECKING PROCEDURE

To check the refrigerant oil level during servicing of the Compressor or the system, proceed in the following manner:

  1. Run the compressor at the engine idle speed for 10 minutes.
  2. Recover all the refrigerant 12 from the compressor, being careful not to lose any oil.
  3. Place the angle gauge (Sankyo Part No. 32448) across the top of the top two mounting lugs. Centre the bubble in the level indicator and read off the mounting angle of the compressor to the nearest degree.
  4. Remove the oil filler plug and looking through the plug hole, centre the internal parts as they move towards the rear of the compressor (discharge stroke). This will allow the dipstick to be inserted to its full length.

  5. Insert dipstick (Sankyo tool number 32447) with the angled 'stop' towards highest part of compressor, just inside the plug hole. Align the angled bottom of the 'stop' with the top surface of the oil filler hole, and insert the dipstick until it reaches the 'stop'

  6. Remove the dipstick and count the number of increments covered with oil.

  7. Compare the measurement taken in 3 (compressor angle) and the oil level increment with those shown in following table.

Mounting Angle in DegreesAcceptable oil level in Increments
04 to 6
106 to 8
207 to 9
308 to 10
409 to 11
509 to 11
609 to 12
  1. If the increments indicated on the dipstick do not fall between the figures given in the above table, add or subtract oil until the mid-range figure is achieved.
  2. Refit oil filler plug and tighten to 6 to 9 ft. lbs. (0.8 to 1.2 kg-m). Ensure the O-ring is not twisted and that the O-ring seating is clean before fitting. Do not overtighten if plug leaks, fit a new O-ring. Re-charge the system with refrigerant as previously described.

PB.9-COMPRESSOR

The compressor is factory charged with 6 ± 0.5 fluid ounces (175 ± 15cc) of refrigerant oil with a viscosity of 500. Only oils listed under RECOMMENDED REFRIGERANT OIL should be used when adding or changing the oil.

To Remove

  1. Depressurise the air conditioning system by slackening the union not securing the pipe to the receiver-drier. Take the necessary precautions described under the heading 'Refrigerant Pipework'.
  2. Remove the pipe connections to the Compressor, taking the necessary precautions described under the heading 'Refrigerant Pipework'.
  3. Loosen and remove the compressor drive belt and disconnect the electrical connections to the compressor clutch.
  4. Remove the two nuts and bolts securing the compressor to the mounting bracket. Drain the oil from the compressor and measure the amount drained. Make a note of the amount of oil drained as this information is required when replacing the compressor.

To Replace

  1. Reverse the removal procedure. Refill the compressor with the same amount of new oil as that drained during removal, plus an additional one fluid ounce. Before assembling the pipework lubricate the flared ends and union threads with refrigerant oil.
  2. Recharge the system as previously described.
  3. The compressor drive belt should be correctly tensioned to give a total movement of 9 mm (0.35 ins) on the longest run of belt.

Fitting a New Compressor

The following procedure is to be used when replacing a compressor containing uncontaminated oil with a new compressor, when there is no evidence of oil having escaped from the system.

  1. Drain the oil from the new compressor.
  2. Drain and measure the oil from the old compressor.

  3. Refill the new compressor with an amount of new oil equal to that drained from the old compressor, plus an additional one fluid ounce (30 cc) of new oil.

After a major failure involving total loss of fluid and a replacement compressor, it is necessary to add an extra 2.7 fluid oz. (80 cc) of oil to the 6 fluid oz. (175 cc) of oil supplied in the new compressor.

NOTE: Satisfactory operation of the compressor depends on there being sufficient oil in the system. However too much oil decreases the cooling efficiency of the installation.

PB.10 - REMOVAL OF HEATER/AIR CONDITIONING ASSEMBLY

To Remove:

  1. Disconnect battery. Drain cooling system. Depressurise refrigerant system.

  2. From inside front luggage compartment: Remove bulkhead ABS cover. Disconnect both fan motors, release the two screws and remove the motor scroll casing from the unit.

  3. Remove the re-circulation vent flap, and through the aperture exposed, disconnect the inlet water hose from the water valve. Disconnect the control cable to the valve, and release the valve from the pedal box.

  4. Release the dividing panel fixings: Two pop rivets along inner edge of aperture; flap bracket lower fixing; two additional screws.

  5. From inside vehicle: Remove the binnacle, fascia and tunnel trim assemblies together with the radio, if fitted.

  6. Remove passenger side demist vent. Remove the front bonnet release bar. Release the return water hose from the heater matrix.

  7. Remove the centre face level vent nozzle from the unit, and through the aperture exposed, release the two screws securing the unit to the tunnel top bracket.

  8. Remove the two screws in the passenger footwell securing the lower edge of the bulkhead divider panel. Disconnect the washer tubing and front wiring harness and feed through the divider panel. With sharp knife, cut round the divider panel sealant, and withdraw the panel into the front luggage compartment.

  9. Disconnect the two refrigerant pipes to the evaporator, taking precautions detailed in REFRIGERANT PIPEWORK.
  10. Release the vacuum supply pipe and fresh air flap actuator vacuum pipe. Release drain pipe from beneath unit.
  11. Carefully withdraw unit towards passenger side of vehicle, taking care not to damage the water valve capillary tube.

To Replace:

Reverse the removal procedure, positioning the unit such that the dimension from the inboard edge of the large hole in the bulkhead (passengers side) to the end of the unit (where fan motor scroll fits) is approx. 150 mm. Also ensure that there is celarance between the vacuum control valve assembly and the bonnet release bar.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The clutch assembly comprises a diaphragm spring pressure plate with a single driven, dry friction plate. The friction plate is free to slide along the splines of the clutch shaft whose rear end is splined into the gearbox primary shaft and whose front end is supported by a needle roller bearing in the rear of the crankshaft.

The clutch release is operated hydraulically via a master cylinder at the pedal box and a slave cylinder on the clutch bellhousing. On Series 3 models until late '84, the slave cylinder is mounted on top of the clutch housing together with a release fork 'pull off' spring. Series 3 cars from late '84 and all Turbo models use a self adjusting slave cylinder mounted on the right hand side of the clutch housing.

If necessary, adjust the clutch master cylinder pushrod length to achieve a clearance of 2 - 5 mm, i.e. the pedal should just touch the carpet.

  1. With the clutch pedal released, adjust the pedal upstop (if fitted), or discard if necessary to achieve 2 - 5 mm upward free play of the pedal, i.e. the master cylinder is 'topping out'.

If the master cylinder piston is restricted from reaching its full travel in either direction clutch drag and/or slip will result.

If necessary, adjust the brake pedal pushrod length to obtain compatible pedal heights.

Thus set up the clutch pedal should require adjustment only after replacement of a pedal box component.

Master Cylinder Pushrod Adjustment Pedal Upstop Adjustment Minimal Clearance 2 - 5mm Free Play

RELEASE FORK

The side mounted clutch slave cylinder (Series 3 after late '84 and all Turbos) is self adjusting, with fluid being returned to the master cylinder as the friction plate wears in service and the slave cylinder piston is pushed progressively further back on its return stroke. The "adjuster" in the release fork end should be set such that 22mm of adjuster projects beyond the locknut as shown in the diagram.

NOTE A previous specification called for the "adjuster" to be screwed in fully. However, the 22mm setting allows a greater degree of clutch friction plate wear to take place before the slave cylinder piston 'tops out' on its return stroke causing clutch slip and indicating that clutch replacement is necessary.

CAUTION: An adjuster setting of less than 22mm may cause damage to pressure plate and flywheel, and/or incomplete disengagement.

22mm

SECTION QB

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with hoses and components, no visible text or symbols

Series 3 cars up to late '84 with the top mounted slave cylinder, require checking for release fork clearance at service intervals in the following manner:

i) At the slave cylinder end, unhook the release fork spring, and measure the free play at the end of the release fork.

ii) If necessary, slacken the locknut and adjust to obtain 3 mm movement. Early Series 3 cars were not fitted with a locknut, but their use is recommended to improve adjustment retention.

iii) After adjustment, tighten locknut and refit spring. As the centre plate wears in service the clearance will reduce.

QB 2 - HYDRAULIC UNITS

Service kits are available for both the master and slave cylinders.

Before commencing work on the hydraulic system, take precautions as necessary to protect paintwork from brake fluid spillage.

NOTE: For cleaning purposes use ONLY commercial alcohol, methylated spirit or brake fluid. On no account should mineral based fluids such as petrol or paraffin be used.

On reassembly, coat the piston seals with rubber grease before inserting into the cylinder, refit the cylinder and bleed the hydraulic system of air.

QB 3 - CLUTCH ASSEMBLY

The gearbox or engine/gearbox assembly must first be removed from the vehicle before access to the clutch centre plate or spring/pressure plate may be obtained. If the gearbox assembly is to be removed from a Turbo model, it may be found easier if the turbocharger is first removed.

Before re-assembly, ensure that the spigot bearing and Nylatron thrust washers are correctly fitted (see QB 5), and that a small quantity of molybdenum disulphide lithium base grease (NLGl No. 2) is applied to the clutch splines.

Torque the clutch assembly to flywheel bolts to 2.3 - 2.6 kg f.m (17 - 19 lbf ft).

Note that if the clutch housing is to be replaced, the gearbox casing must be returned to the factory for mating and machining.

A revised clutch cover (pressure plate assembly) has been fitted to all Esprit Turbo models from engine number 22728.

This new cover has a diaphragm spring with curved fingers, instead of straight as used previously. This necessitates a corresponding change to the release bearing assembly from a curved thrust face to a flat face.

It is most important that 'old' and 'new' specification components are not mixed on the same vehicle although later type covers and release bearings may be used as a pair on any car.

QB.4 - RELEASE BEARING

Several different types of release bearing have been used, and great care must be taken to ensure the correct fitment.

Summary - Series 3: Prior to the introduction of the C35 type gearbox (late 1983) Series 3 cars were fitted with a cast iron release bearing carrier, whereas C35 equipped cars use a fabricated carrier. Both types use a flat face adaptor profile.

Turbo: All Turbo models use the fabricated type release bearing carrier, but with two types of adaptor profile. Prior to Eng. No. 22728, a curved profile was used (for straight diaphragm fingers) whilst later cars use a flat profile (for curved fingers). Earlier cars may however be fitted with the later clutch cover and release bearing as a pair. See Parts List for details.

On reassembly, lubricate the outer surface of the release bearing carrier with molybdenum disulphide, lithium base grease (NLG1 No.2) and apply also to the contact points of release arm and carrier, release arm pivot, release arm adjuster to pushrod, and sparingly to the front face of the release bearing.

Fit the bearing carrier into the guide tube and clip to the release arm.

Turbo Prior to Eng. No. 22728 Curved Adaptor Profile Straight Diaphragm Spring Fingers

Turbo After Eng. No. 22728 All Series 3 Flat Adaptor Profile Curved Diaphragm Spring Fingers Release Bearing and Carrier

QB 5 - SPIGOT BEARING

The spigot bearing (A907E 6319F) must be fitted into the crank with its identifying numbers facing outwards (i.e. towards gearbox), and pressed in ONLY UNTIL FLUSH with the rear face of the crank. Ensure the bearing is lubricated with either Esso Unirex N3, or Shell Alvania R2 or R3.

Spigot bearing MUST BE FITTED flush with crank Thrust washer F220

It is essential that the Nylatron thrust washer (Ao79F 4029F) is fitted between clutch shaft and spigot bearing as shown.

QB 6 - CLUTCH SHAFT

The clutch shaft is splined into the gearbox primary shaft and retained by a circlip and spring.

Old type clutch shaft A079F 6066F has been replaced by modified shaft B085F 4068J which incorporates a hardened steel sleeve (A089F 0404F), to run inside the spigot bearing. This sleeve is fitted to the shaft using Permabond A148, and if there is any doubt about the security of the sleeve, it should be removed and refitted as follows:-

i) Roughen inside surface of sleeve with 320 grade emery paper. Degrease, clean and dry.

ii) Apply Permabond Al48 (A089F 6060) to spigot shaft and inside surface of sleeve. Fit sleeve onto shaft and rotate two or three times to ensure even distribution of adhesive.

iii) Remove sleeve, re-apply adhesive and repeat ii)

iv) To ensure sleeve to shaft concentricity, the final fitting should be performed with the spigot shaft in a vertical position and left in this position until cured i.e. cannot be moved with light finger pressure (approximately 1/2 - 1 hour).

NOTE: Ensure that all traces of adhesive are removed from the clutch shaft splines before re-assembly of the clutch.

NOTE: Earlier modified shaft A085F 4068J used a shorter (15mm) sleeve A089F 0400F, which may be replaced by the longer (18.5) sleeve A089F 0404F.

VB.3. - INSTRUMENT BINNACLE

Domestic & R.O.W. cars. Before the binnacle may be removed, it is necessary to dismantle the instrument/switch panels in order to disconnect the wiring harness, speedo cable, oil and boost pipes, and screen vent ducting.

Prior to 1985, Series 3 cars used a binnacle layout similar to that of S2 models, with slider type heater controls in the right hand side, and a face level vent in the left. The centre instrument panel and side switch panels must be released and the wires marked and disconnected from the switches and gauges. Release the speedo cable, oil pressure gauge pipe, heater cables and vent ducting.

During 1985, the Series 3 fascia and binnacle was changed to that of the DOM/ROW Turbo type. On these cars, the rheostat knobs are pulled off to reveal two of the four instrument mask screws. After removing the instrument mask and mounting panel the switch side panels and masks are released by removing the screws on the binnacle underside.

INTRODUCTION OF TYPE C35 GEARBOX ASSEMBLY

From early 1984, all Esprit models were fitted with the type 'C35' gearbox. All Esprit gearboxes are stamped with a Lotus serial number, repeated on its matched clutch housing. All gearboxes stamped with a 'C' prefix to the serial number are type C35.

Gearboxes with the following serial numbers (without 'C' prefix) are also type C35

2914 to 2920 2954 to 2974 3023 to 3024 3028 to 3039 3044 to 3152

All numbers are inclusive, and are to be found on the top front of the gearbox and adjacent surface of the clutch housing

Drain Plug

C35 type gearboxes have only one oil drain plug which is situated beneath the main case. They are not fitted with the additional rear case drain plug as used on previous type gearboxes.

TU3AAK/2

Level Plug

The oil level plug (painted yellow) is fitted in the left hand side of the case, as before, and should not be confused with a similar plug (blanking) positioned higher up on the same side of the gearbox.

Exhaust Silencer Mounting Bracket

The C35 type gearbox rear cover incorporates a large cast boss, necessitating a revised silencer mounting bracket and fixings.
