Hello from rainy Manchester

Hi all, just joined, scotties the name and the 110 defenders the game, except that I am a greenhorn on the electrics. Its supposed to be 24v so what happens if I plugs a sankey in with a 12v leccy system, do I go tomeet my maker prematurely. Any words of wisdom appreciated.

:welcome: the guys will be along soon to offer advice ........ im just the resident mascot

ello.go to the deepended section for help.

welcome to looneyzone...enjoy your time here....I know feck all aboot 24v lectrix but sure someone will know...:dnfnoob:

Thanks all, as they say, if you don't want to know somethin, ask somethin sumone won't know

if ya went to the right section ya might find oot

24v system? - wots the idea behind that then? never come across one of those! btw - I keep getting a Laguna coupe driving across my screen - wot a sexy car! shame it's french.........

its ****e as its french,GOWASHYERMOUTHOOTEMMETT

if you plug a 12v device into a 24v source your going to blow fuses or fry wires

Don't think you will too many arguments there..........
I still wanna know wot is the point of a 24v system? Aslo wot is a sankey? Pardon me ignorance sir...........

Dunno, theres a light on the dash with a battery symbol and 24v on it. Might be Nato or military standard specs. Theres a thing called STANAG or standard agreements which means all Nato forces equipment and armour can be used by another countries forces in an emergency :ie my British landrover battery will fit your Portugese Peccadillo or whatever.

Who told you about my Portuguese pecadillo? That was supposed to be a secret - now everyone knows!!

snakey trailer...

Sankeis a military trailer, the best in the world some say also traditional wife of the 110 or 90

....ooooops,is that big enough

Thanks for the info guys - dont feel so much of a spare one now.
If you plug a 12v system into 24v it will cook, obviously. But maybe the towing system runs off 12v? Get yer multimeter out I reckons............
