Land Rover Defender 90, 110 & 130 2007–2011 Workshop Manual

Land Rover Ltd.'s Defender Workshop Manual is labeled MY2007-ON and covers Puma-powered 90, 110, and 130 configurations, including LHD/RHD versions. Its five divisions are General Information, Chassis, Powertrain, Electrical, and Body and Paint, with specifications, system descriptions, diagnosis, and illustrated repair procedures.

PDF Search, Diagram Detail, and Page Count

Search and diagram legends: Main workshop text is searchable, but some labels within illustrations are not. There are no embedded PDF bookmarks. Small control-diagram details benefit from zooming; some lighting-diagram legend rows overlap the printed page-number footer.

The ZIP contains one printable, 1,213-page PDF, including the cover, 19 contents pages, five section-divider pages, and one blank page.

Puma Powertrain, Chassis, and Electrical Workshop Coverage

The following is a selection of covered work, rather than a complete contents list. Other topics include vehicle recovery and diesel-filter water draining.

• Puma engine repair: Step-by-step engine removal, internal disassembly, inspection, assembly, and installation, with separate in-vehicle repair procedures.

• Fuel and engine diagnosis: High-pressure injection, turbocharger, EGR, intake, starting, glow-plug, and electronic engine-control diagnosis and component replacement.

• Transmission and four-wheel drive: Clutch bleeding and adjustment, MT82 teardown and synchronizer service, transfer-case seals and covers, selector linkage, and differential-lock switch adjustment.

• Suspension and driveline: Front toe adjustment, springs, shocks, Panhard rod and suspension arms, hubs, driveshaft universal joints, axle service, and front CV/swivel assemblies.

• Brakes and steering: Hydraulic brake bleeding, parking-brake adjustment, caliper and master-cylinder service, ABS/traction-control diagnosis, steering flushing, gear adjustment, and linkage repair.

• Electrical and climate systems: A/C leak testing and component service, charging tests, instrument-cluster diagnosis, lighting, CAN communications, and active/passive anti-theft coverage.

• Body and structural repair: Doors and strikers, locks and latches, seats, glass and regulators, instrument panel, wipers, roof components, safety belts, and sheet-metal replacement.

Land Rover wrote this manual for its technicians worldwide. Owner-performed work assumes mechanical skill or training; the manual directs safety-critical steering, brake, suspension, and restraint repairs to a Land Rover dealer.

Engine Repair and Fuel-System Diagnostics

In-vehicle work includes the cylinder head, camshafts, timing chain, crankshaft seals, oil pump, manifolds, and flywheel. Cooling-system instructions cover conventional filling and bleeding as well as vacuum filling.

Crankshaft timing tool 303-698 and ladder-frame alignment tool 303-1095 are identified for the applicable operations. Lubrication-system operation views explain oil routing, while separate exhaust component-location layouts distinguish 90 and 110 arrangements.

Visual-inspection charts, symptom charts, and DTC indexes connect running faults to mechanical and electrical checks. This supports fault isolation and repair planning alongside the component procedures, rather than relying on a fault-code description alone.

The fuel and electronic-control chapters call for approved diagnostic equipment for volume-control-valve calibration, pump learning, injector calibration/code entry, and module programming. Low-pressure fuel-system bleeding uses hand pressure pump 310-110.

The CKP-sensor instructions flag incorrect sensor positioning as a cause of damage to the sensor tip.

MT82 Overhaul and Transfer-Case Limits

Input-shaft, layshaft, and output-shaft component views accompany internal MT82 service. Assembly includes gear-selection and rotational checks; special tools include gear-selector setting tool 308-561 and high/low selector locking tool 308-711.

The transfer-case section does not provide a full internal overhaul. Differential-lock indicator adjustment applies to switches with a locknut rather than a threaded spacer. The manual also warns that treating the transfer-case filler opening as an oil-level reference can cause damage.

Hubs, Suspension, Brakes, and Steering

Wheel-bearing procedures use selective spacers matched to measured hub end float. Axle coverage includes leak diagnosis and front stub-axle, CV-joint, and swivel-pin housing disassembly.

The optional Boge Hydromat self-leveling unit is identified for 110/130 models. Its service procedure covers unit replacement; the pressurized unit must not be dismantled.

Brake sections extend to caliper and master-cylinder disassembly, pressure-control-valve service, and vacuum-pump replacement. Steering coverage includes internal steering-gear work, centralization, and lock-stop adjustment.

Build notes distinguish transmission-mount hardware before VIN 732932, Panhard-rod hardware before VIN 735937, and rear spring/shock hardware before VIN 737011. These notes help distinguish reused early-build fasteners from replacements before the applicable tightening instructions are selected.

Electrical Diagnosis and A/C Service

The manual supplements Land Rover's T4 diagnostic system. Many circuit checks refer to separate electrical guides, so this is not a standalone wiring-diagram set.

Standard-versus-SVX exterior-lighting control diagrams and the high-speed CAN control diagram show system connections. Separate 2008MY audio/navigation and lighting material identifies SVX 60th Anniversary differences; instrument-cluster replacement requires configuration-data transfer using approved diagnostic equipment.

A/C procedures include refrigerant recovery, evacuation, charging, pressure testing, and electronic leak detection, with compressor, condenser, evaporator, and heater service. Refrigerant work requires the specified recovery and charging equipment.

Body Panels, Sealing, and Trim

Body coverage includes seat-heater elements, convertible-top components, water-leak tracing, and body/frame tolerance checks. Corrosion-protection sealing charts identify treated seams and joints.

Structural panel-repair illustrations and text are based on the 110 Station Wagon, although specified front-end areas apply to other models. Replacement procedures address front, roof, side, and rear panels.

Selected Cylinder-Head, Gearbox, and A/C Specifications

The Puma cylinder-head table specifies maximum distortion of 0.10 mm when measured longitudinally and diagonally. MT82 capacity data distinguishes a 2.4-liter initial fill from a 2.2-liter service fill.

For the Puma A/C system, the refrigerant table specifies R134a at 600 g ± 25 g. Component-specific torque tables, approved fluids, wear limits, alignment data, and electrical test values support the corresponding workshop procedures.
