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.

WP out of curiosity was your original fuel gauge missing, broken or was it reading full when the tank was only half full but correctly reading empty when the tank was empty? I had this problem & eventually found the cause.

Thanks for coming back, I needed to get replacements sorted soonish. I've ordered RPD500990 from Blanchards as that is in the latest parts list. I see in an early parts list quoted as STC3087. When I got mine off & rubbed with a wire brush I read Rover ANR3538 made in Spain, but can find very...

So how did you get on? Were the dampers uprated when Wolf was uprated to carry Bowman radios or was it just the springs that were changed? I can find nothing in the AESP mods & instructions that refer to this upgrade. Will RPD500990 be long enough for Bowman rated upgrades?

I agree I don't think I have seen white characters on a registration plate other painted on an armoured vehicle or white stick-on characters where the original pressed aluminium plate has been wrecked.

Its quite a large & detailed document but the attached gives the best overview.

I have some diagrams for those fitted in 1978. For what vehicle were you looking for?

Yes I have doubts that even in service the users were aware of those two notifications. My 90 never had the Dymo label & I have never seen one on any 90/110. Always as well to have as many fuses as you can, it helps localise a fault more easily. My Lightweight had only 4 fuses, but my Dutch...

Correct. The guidance on those fuse rating equivalents appeared in the service maintenance comic/magazine KiT! submitted by a S/Sgt in April 1995. On a formal basis there was a change dated March 1997 AESP 2320-D-122-821 General Instruction No.84 that the 10A fuse for stop & indicators should...

The fuse layout label shows the fuses defined by their hold rating shown as 12A, 10A, 8A, 5A, 2.5A

This was published in 1995

There was a lot of confusion caused in the 90/110 by the label rating of the fuses. The current marked on the label refers to the holding current rating of the fuse not the current at which that the fuse will blow. The holding current is appx half that of the blow current. Many vehicles ended...

The original batteries were 027H STC3043 I fitted a pair of these https://www.halfords.com/motoring/batteries/car-batteries/halfords-hcb063-calcium-12v-car-battery-4-year-guarantee-950303.html Not cheap but they seemed a good fit & came with a 4-year warranty Still going strong since fitted on...

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...
