Mark, brown-yellow is the feed from the ignition circuit for each alternator that is fed independently through their respective ignition warning lights. It supplies voltage to the field winding to create a magnetic field before the alternator is revolving & then producing the magnetic field for...

Yes all TUL(HS) & TUM(HS) whether GS or FFR are 24v. The instrument panel & front part of the loom is the same, so although GS it had provision for upgrading to FFR role. I have a charge warning light for the radio alternator built in. The off side was modified for the breather tube for radio...

Mark yes one alternator should be sufficient as that's all you get with a GS. Mine was a GS 110 used by the RAF for airfield defence stripped down in a poor man's WMIK. It had radio batteries in the back but these were charged from a fused take-off from the vehicle alternator. Being a radio...

Just be careful in removing the radio battery charging system. As you know each alternator supplies its appropriate set of batteries, but the systems are not entirely independent. When the voltage on one set of batteries drops below 23v it suggests that it's alternator cannot cope so the ECU...

What was the military registration?

http://www.milweb.net/ I sold my Wolf 90 & also bought my Wolf 110 on Milweb

The original (French) meaning of ambulance was a mobile field hospital, patients that were moved some distance on wheels were carried in an ambulance wagon. The modern use of the term ambulance has been corrupted to mean an ambulance vehicle, I suspect the unit name 16 Field Ambulance leans...

I think you will find that DDE is Direct Data Entry into the SALOME ADP system (System for Accounting & On-Line Management of Equipment) (Automatic Data Processing) this succeeded the earlier VESPER ADP (Vehicles, Equipment, Spares, Provision, Economics, Repair). This differs from in earlier...

Of all the examples I have seen, there is always far more information on the B Card than the very limited info on a MERLIN readout.

Depends what year you want to represent, so it might be DBG, OD or NATO Green.

I bought a military 5-bearing take out. The block was a sort of terracota & the sump black. "Preserved" military engines, irrespective of whether it was rebuilt, would be painted BSC381C No.101 Sky Blue.

Sometimes people think that you can use an AC tap off point like that to drive an AC voltmeter to give an indication of RPM. Of course that doesn't work because the regulator controls the current through the field winding, so it needs to go something to read the frequency & of course the speed...

Electronic Exhaust Gas Recycling for which the system needs an engine speed input. The EEGR alternators have the main output then on a two-terminal block there is the warning light connection & next to it the AC feed to the EEGR module. It is simply a take off at the junction of two stator...

The AC output terminal for a tachometer sensor is only on the EEGR vehicles (that is just the vehicle alternator not the FFR one).

Yeah fair enough I can understand that then. I once had a military Carawagon & used up an awful lot of paint stripper to get rid of 7 layers of IRR paint. In later years I realised it was a waste of time as I had destroyed the authenticity just to get a nice finish. Some of the old paint had...

I don't know the age of your Land Rover but wonder why you want to get all the paint stripped of it unless you are going for a fresh from the factory look. If these paint layers are IRR paint, in service it was not be removed as the IRR effect depended not just on the IRR paint applied but on...

I use http://www.milweb.net/place_ad/placeadvert.php Claims to be the largest military vehicle based selling site.

If you want to do some research about the 24v charging & ignition systems there are a couple of articles here that cover many aspects of fault finding & repairs...

If you go for a 24v one make sure it is charging properly at the outset. Unless you are very confident there is no point in buying a thing that already has a problem & may be up for sale because the owner has given up trying to sort it out. Try to ensure the 24v system is entirely original, I...
