How to Check Tank for Water
Had a quick look under the tank but can't find a drain plug.
Can one siphon from the filler right to the bottom of the tank to get rid of any water?
Any ideas?

Hi James, I'm not sure how to drian the tank, knowing LR you probably have to remove the tank!!! You can drain fuel at the filter/seperator and check for water. You'll just need to fit a length of hose to the drain point and undo the drain on the bottom of the filter 1-2 turns.



Be aware though the workshop manual says you need to then bleed the low pressure fuel system with a special tool.



Why they couldn't fit a hand pump on the filter assembly like most other diesels I don't know, or even have a purging procedure like the TD5.

air lock
I did already drain the filter but only until I got clean diesel so it was only 100ml or there abouts.
I started the vehicle and luckily there was no aparent air lock.
I looked in the Puma manual but did not find a bleeding sequence but then again I don't have the workshop manual as I beleive it's not out as yet.
Where did you get one Tim?
Thanks

i would imagine that 24hrs would give you enough time to print all the manual if you had a fast printer and lost of ink and you were prepared to sit at your computer for some long hours!!

you cant download from the site only print YOU KNOW REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS!!!!

I purchased a month's subscription (for one model and one model year).

I use pdf printer software (Google: "CutePDF Writer" which is a free down load) to save the info I am after to my 'puter.

With the exception of the detailed electrical componentry it would be possible to download all the information available within the 24 hour period if you set aside several hours.

You cannot print a complete workshop manual in one go...only in sections so it is a bit fiddly and you might want to be selective about it. Particularly the "Electrickery" parts. Mahn

Can you not use the print to file function and print it to a file - then compile it back to a pdf - ive done this a few times on secured pdf's

Who is to be the first kind person to download them and then post them Rolling Eyes Mike
