The following precautions must be observed when carrying out repairs to the vehicle
WARNING! The distributor ignition system operates at very high voltages. Special safety
precautions must be followed to prevent injury. Always turn the ignition off when:
Replacing distributor ignition components e.g. plugs, coil, etc.
Do not touch any part of the distributor ignition system while the engine is running. This may
result in unintended movements and body injury.
Replacing spark plugs
The spark plugs should be changed every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). However, city driving or fast
highway driving may necessitate changing after 15,000 miles (24,000km) of driving. When installing
new plugs, be sure to fit the right type and use correct torque,
see "Specifications". When changing the
plugs, check that the suppressor connectors are in good condition. Cracked or damaged connectors
should be replaced. When changing the spark plugs, clean the terminals and the rubber seals.
Hoisting the car
If a garage jack is used to lift the car, the two jack attachments points should be used. They are specially
reinforced to bear the weight of the car. A garage jack can also be placed under the front of the engine
support frame and under the reinforced plate in the spare wheel well. Take care not to damage the splash
guard under the engine. Ensure that the jack is positioned so that the car cannot slide off it. Always
use axle stands or similar structures.
If a two-post hoist is used to lift the car, the front and rear lift arm pads should be centered under the
reinforced lift plates on the inboard edge of the sill rail. The position of these plates is marked with
