Me neither - bog standard military 24v set-up.

And the next on the list of elektrikery things to solve is - the fuel gauge!! On mine (ex-Mil 24v FFR) now the fuel gauge is reading maximum up deflection (i.e. full) all the time. Even when I know the tank in question is empty.... This is a 24v twin tank set up so there is no voltage...

Switch now wired correctly and working.. Well - at least the motor is spinning, not actually feeling anything coming out of the screen vents but the fan does now spin up :) Thanks to everyone for the assistance it was much appreciated. Onwards now to the next problem :)

Thank you very much indeed!! That is a tremendous help.:) All these years mine has been in upside down and incorrectly connected - never know these things until you see one that is wired correctly. As soon as the rain stops = again - I'll get mine connected this way and see what happens. I...

Triple pulley means it's come from a 24v motor - normal fan belt is the inner one and drives the water pump. Outer two were the drive belts for the naffing great 90A generator. Starting handle drive dog should be there still. Timing mark is on the inner face of the inner pulley - it may not...

Forgot to mention the other reason why I asked here first - it's been hammering down with rain more or less none stop since Sat evening and one thing I have learnt over the years is that going near the 24v electrics of an FFR when it is damp, let alone wet, is a painful experience. However - we...

Photo was taken by wedging the phone's camera into the gap - about 3/4" - between the pod and the panel. My fingers barely fit, I can just about reach to get the Brown/Orange lead off to check the supply, Can't reach the lower terminals properly - maybe enough to get those off and off. So it...

Having finally managed to rebuild a 24v blower units for my S3 FFR and getting it to fit under the wing in the correct spot it came time to check it out. First problem was found when, having temporarily connected the wires under the bonnet nothing happened. Checking the Brown/Orange feed wire...

Adapter sheared getting the caliper bolts out with a 12mm socket - and the ratchet failed doing them back up.. :) I was using a 1/2" drive 20mm socket on the retaining bolts with a breaker bar and lump hammer,

Sadly management disagreed - it was stripped immediately and the parts recycled back into the production sequence then the shell went straight to the crusher. A shame - but the entire plant was laughing over it :-) Apparently the final inspectors face was a picture as he went to sign off. For...

Not as bad as Ford - when I was an apprentice they put a 3 door Mk 3 Cortina through the assembly lines for a laugh. Got all the way to the final QC lines before anyone in authority noticed. Theoretically impossible - but the framing buck were manual back then, not automated so they ran the...

Thanks for checking - I will have to get them back out of the garage and have a look on the reverse. Today I had to bite the bullet and get two new tyres on the front wheels as I need the vehicle on Monday and Tuesday. Once the tyres were done I had a try at changing the disks. Calipers came...

Looks like 8*18*57.0 AH2

The UAZ brake drums differ in internal diameters on the same axle. 4 drums - 4 different diameters. QC was not a Soviet strong point!! :eek:

Changing pads - no, Changing the entire disc - yes, because the caliper assembly on a P38 is nothing like the ones I am used to on Saabs. And even less like the drum brakes on a Series or a UAZ. At least on the P38 I can safely assume the discs are all the same size. Unlike the drums on a UAZ.

Well , it was a - relatively - dry day today so I thought I get some more work done. Jacked up the back end after freezing the suspension and thought I would do the simple job of just changing the O/S wheel first. Cue cynical if not insane laughter. I should have known better.... The...

Found this on youtube - looks like an interesting break- down on how to do it - although no mention of the pad wear sensors/

Many thanks - will go take a look. Murphys law always applies in such circumstances :)

Took the P38 to my local tyre fitters today - after nearly and hours work - which involved a lot of swearing and cursing the name of whoever did them up - the managed to free off all the wheel nuts for me. Best part was - there no charge as I am a regular customer. Now to wait for another rain...

Always interested if there is a proper tool available at a reasonable price. :) What is the item number please?
