It was green: This is the nearest I have to yours:

The EMLRA have just taken that rather arrogant & naive decision despite my protests. A sense of the disquiet can be seen on this thread on Series 2 forum. https://series2club.co.uk/2023_new_forum/index.php?topic=2657.0

My NA 2.5 RAF 90 used ERC 8450

The changeover is said to be 1993. But I can find examples of things like pedestrian operated snowploughs with the reversed registration back in 1990 & traditional KK registrations as late as 1995.

Your ammeter is it centre reading eg 100-0-100 or zero reading eg 0-100? That will tell you in the first instance that it is wired to measure charge & discharge from the batteries or in the second instance merely telling you the output of the alternator. I am not sure that I have understood...

I'm not saying those are all the documents, just what I have collected over the years. Please don't ask me to copy them as it would take what is left of the rest of my life to copy them! Although I don't mind doing the odd page. UHB & parts lists may crop up on ebay but EMERs are unlikely to...

There is I believe a Brooklands reprint of the UHB but it omits some of the coverage in the original publication. There was an AESP series that covered all S3 variants that largely echoed the EMER WV series. 2320-D-100-201 Truck, Utility, 4x4, Rover Series 3, (All Variants). Operating...

Specific Series 3 Lightweights are covered in EMER WHEELED VEHICLES: Q 020/13 Truck, Utility, ½ Ton, 4x4, Rover Series 3. Data Summary. Sept.1975 Q 025/13 Truck, Utility, ½ Ton, 4x4, Rover Series 3. Waterproofing Instr, No.3. Technical Handbook. Apr.1976 Q 025/13 Truck, Utility, ½ Ton, 4x4...

It's the same one.

That didn't last long. No bids & no longer available. At least on the motor label it read as a 24v motor. A few years ago a well known dealer was selling 12v wiper motors but claimed they were 24v simply because it was suppressed & the RF filter was rated at 28v. He assumed the motor must be 24v...

Well I think I've created a url so let's see if this works.

I believe this is how the temperature gauge works. Ah I can't seem to upload my diagram as I don't have permission to do that or nor do I have permission to view the page I on, despite being logged in. If I try to upload a file it has to have a URL & I can't see a way to send it from my PC.

That is between the two terminals, but have you checked any conductivity to the case? I think this is a three terminal gauge & the case needs to be earthed.

What sort of Land Rover have you got?

Complete FFR Rovers are quite a rarity these days because people who are not into radios or are scared of 24v systems, rip the bits out without realising they seriously devalue the vehicle. Obviously it is your vehicle & you can do just as you please with it, but at some stage in your life there...

Further investigation reveals that both resistors are within tolerance. Even so, if the 220 ohm resistor was off tolerance it would not have been critical as it supplies both windings. The purpose of the two windings is that it makes the gauge read independent of voltage variations. The culprit...

Not worth it, but I like finding out how things work (or don't). Tedious to get inside by drilling out the three locking indentations then progressively prising away the bezel. Even if I replaced the offending resistor, I would never fully trust it again, the mangled bezel would look grotty and...

New & it was the same make as originally fitted. I thought it was going to be corrosion or Afghan dust inside between the internal earth connection to the case, which is held tight by the insulated pillar for terminal 1. It was a bit tedious to dismantle, but it seems that the resistor has gone...

Ah fair enough. Yes you are right a poor gauge earth could cause a high reading, but I have found that the gauge second winding has increased its resistance.Cured with a Blanchard gauge & rather cheaper than ebay prices.
