Well guessed adam. You'll also know that its not to old. At least its not those new 3000 numbers. I'm a leckie based at RAF Marham. I'm really into landrovers but this one is giving me one hell of a headache. I think you better put me on the waiting list for the padded room Tony What does do you lot drive/fix? Jim

I have just been to check and your right it is a mk 3 panel. I'm trying to get some photos for you to see what i've got left of the system. what would the resistance readings be for? Can they check that the generator is working?

The system has been working but it looks like its been bodged. There are two ammeters in the dash but neither of them are wired up. I have two extra boxes. One with 3 outlets, a big fuse and red and back terminals on the top. As does the other but this one is smaller with 2 relays inside. The generator panel is mounted inside the truck cab instead of in the back. The charge light is on and the engine revs make no difrence to the voltage. I do have a multimeter, so I can test volts, ohms etc. I'd like to know the connections on the out going side of the generator panel (earth, vehicle batteries, radio batteries, charging light) inside the panel. There are no radio batteries fitted but I'd like to make everything how it was. I have put the generator into a workshop to be tested, but I don't know how much joy they will have. Could my generator panel have failed?

By the way, Clive, well done with your paper. brilliant bit of writing.

Its a 90 Amp system and I think the generator panel is mk 4 but I'm not sure.

Thank you for your welcome lee. Regards Jim

I wonder if anyone can help me with sorting my charging system. I've read Clive's paper and although it's very helpful I'm still stuck. I'd like to know what are the connections inside the generator panel, and where they go to. I'd also like to know if anywhere sells parts for FFR landrovers

Good afternoon everybody. I'm new to the forum and to military vehicles. I've got a 1977 landrover series 3 which is FFR, therefore a 24 volt system. I wonder if anyone can help me with sorting my charging system. I've read Clive's paper and although it's very helpful I'm still stuck. I'd like to know what are the connections inside the generator panel, and where they go to. I'd also like to know if anywhere sells parts for FFR landrovers. Many thanks.
