  1. That generator is a 3 phase 115/200 vac 400hz generator.

    I doubt it will be what you want. does it have 6 large output terminals and 3 or 4 smaller terminals?

    Typically a gas turbine engine with a starter/generator sytem is DC 28 volts and uses brushes.

    The generator has a control box that allows it start the engine then when a specific speed is reached it becomes a generator.

  2. The early srs system as it uses resistors in the harness to check for brakes or shorts.

    The computer monitors the cables and is expecting to see specific resistances to high and it fails to low and it fails .

    A duff battery could possibly affect this monitoring I guess.

  3. As I said earlier. Your srs is earlier. There are no connections to seat belts or seats for that matter.

    you have 2 crash switches behind the headlights and a computer between the seats. Please get the free manuals it will help .the srs harness has resistors at various points which the computer regularly checks.If the resistance is out of toleryyou get the light. Get the codes read and go from there.

  4. You Can get the manuals free on line its called Rave just search and follow the instructions.

     

    The srs light is a mot fail.

    You may be lucky and be just clear the codes and reset.

    It does not have a seat belt switch it has 2 crash sensors in the front wings big yellow boxes behind the head lights.

    The SRS computer is under the centre console between the seats.

    My light kept coming on it was the computer 99 pence on Ebay.

    The brake line which runs from the front right wheel arch to the rear axle is steel and rots. It runs along the top of the chassis and rots by the rear airbag mount. you cant see it very easily mine failed and I changed it to kunifer.

    I generally use the internet for parts Britpart used to have a really bad reputation but thy have upped their game and parts are 50 to 70 % less than genuine it makes the car affordable.

     

    You cannot use generic Fault code readers they must be landrover/p38 specific.

     

    blackbox soloutions https://blackbox-solutions.com/ is an example

    http://www.lynx-diagnostics.com/land-rover-coverage/rr-p38/ is another

    are good forums. landyzone is not for the faint hearted they can be quite brutal.

     

    I love my rangy.

  5. I saw it yesterday. Not sure if I liked it .

    The British just seemed to run away I know its a film about a retreat/ defeat but the British did some rearguard action as well as the French.

    The problem with films is people forget that they are a fiction a story and become perceived as fact.

    other opinions are available.

  6. My car buddies who have detailed thread builds like your self have had the same experience.

    They are voting with their feet..

    Not deleted mine yet I have downloaded the whole album onto a file on my desktop and will back that up. I won't use photobucket again but will leave the pics there so they have to use respurces to store them.

  7. As above the tracta joint has probably moved I used Vaseline to stiffen it up. I also found that the "face" of the bevel gear box had gone elliptical due to the beating it had taken over the years. So that the wheel station cup wouldn't seat fully home and the cork was showing as in your case. I took the end of the wheelstation and checked it would slide in easy first. I had to dress the damage out with a die grinder and flap wheel.

    Once the cup fitted into the bevel gear box I reassembled the wheelstation,greased up the tracta joint and it slid together a charm.

  8. Well I use 3 methods to get the pins out.

    first I got a piece of aluminium Bar about an inch in diameter and about 18 inches long . It needs to be just smaller than the pin to act as drift when used with a sledge hammer. Yes Sledge hammer.

    Second is a slide hammer with the different sized unf screws to fit in the pins.

    Third is a large threaded rod and pipe which the unf screws fit into and a large nut to tighten which helps pull the pin out.

    I will see if I can find them to take pictures.

    My best time of taking a wheel station off is about 45 minutes. I took weeks to develop the tools / technique.
