Whenever possible, structural members should be cold straightened under tension, reworking the damaged area with a series of pulls rather than a single pull, releasing tension between stages to check alignment.
The manual states that it is essential that Land Rover parts are used; fitting other than Land Rover recommended parts may impair safety features and may invalidate the warranty.
Damaged areas should be cut away using a high speed saw, not an oxy-acetylene torch.
An adhesive label with the VIN and recommended maximum vehicle weights is located on the left hand side of the bonnet locking platform; the number is also stamped on the right side of the chassis forward of the spring mounting turret.
