Land Rover Defender: Fluid filler locations

Do not start the engine, or drive the vehicle, if leaked fluid could possibly make contact with a hot surface. Any leaked fluid coming into contact with a hot surface, such as the exhaust, could result in combustion. Seek qualified assistance immediately.

Always observe and follow the safety precautions when working in the engine compartment. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

Note: Further information on safety precautions can be found in the relevant section of the Owner's Handbook.

A number of simple checks and routine maintenance must be carried out at regular intervals.
