Owners Manual
D/18
ENGINE
Before removing the radiator, first drain the cooling
system by means
of
the radiator and cylinder block
drain taps.
If
anti-freeze solution is present, this may
be collected in a clean receptacle and used again. Dis-
connect the top and bottom hoses. Remove the tem-
perature gauge bulb from the radiator header tank and
unfasten the bonnet lock control cable from its catch,
situated just in front
of
the radiator tap.
Dismantle both horns from their brackets
by
undoing four nuts and bolts. Disconnect the leads
from each horn, having
first removed their covers.
Break the snap connection on the left-hand side and
then release the cable harness from the radiator mounting
frame by undoing the three clips.
From under the wings, remove the top nut and
bolt and the two setpins
at
each side which hold the
radiator frame to the flitch plates. Withdraw, from
beneath the car, the four setpins securing the radiator
frame to the chassis front cross member.
With the fan blades turned horizontally, to save
possible damage, the top
of
the radiator should be
tilted towards the engine. The complete assembly can
then be manreuvred upwards and
so
clear
of
the car.

of
the Saloon
and Coupe.
Working from above, uncouple the rubber con-
nections
of
the heater pipes from the scuttle by slackening
a clip
at
each connection. Next remove the carburetter
air cleaners. To do this, release the cleaner to car-
buretter flange nuts and washers.
From
the carburetter
disconnect the choke wire and the throttle control arm.
There is no need to remove the coil from its scuttle
mounting.
Commercials
The engine removal operations for the Van,
Countryman and
Pick-Up are similar to those
of
the
Saloon and only the differences are dealt with here.

Fig. 25. Before removing bonnet
on
Commercial vehicles,
scribe along the edge
of
each hinge as shown
at
A to
facilitate replacement.
Remove the split pin from the fixed anchorage pin
of
the bonnet support, located by the side
of
the heater
compartment. Before releasing the three bolts from each
bonnet hinge, clearly scribe the bonnet along the edge
of
each hinge
as
this will help to ensure correct
replacement. (See Fig. 25.)
The radiator should now be removed, but first
drain the cooling system. Disconnect the upper and
lower water hoses from the engine by slackening their
spring clips.
If
a water temperature gauge
is
fitted,
remove the temperature gauge bulb from the header
tank. The radiator
is
held
by
six
bolts, three either
side, with nuts and washers. Remove these and lift
out the radiator.
Remove the horns and the heater pipes
as
described
for the Sports.
