a) Ensure that the evaporator is correctly
joined to the heater unit and blower
motor, so that there are no air leaks or
gaps, then tighten the retaining nuts and
bracket bolts securely.
b) Fit new O-rings to the pipe unions and
tighten the union nuts to the specified
torque setting.
c) On completion, have the system
recharged by a refrigeration specialist or a
suitably-equipped Rover dealer.

battery and battery tray.
24 Undo the two screws securing the air
intake grille to the body. Disengage the grille
from the resonator and remove it from the
vehicle. Move the resonator to one side to
gain access to the receiver drier.
25 Slacken the union nuts and disconnect
the pipes from the receiver drier noting the Orings
which are fitted to the pipe unions.
Discard the O-rings as they must be renewed
whenever they are disturbed. The receiver
drier unit unions must be capped immediately
after they are disconnected and must remain
capped until they are to be reconnected. If the
receiver drier unit is left uncapped for any
period of time it must be renewed.
