Chris,

I meant to get backto you the other day when you posted the voltage   
regulator question.

If your voltage regulator is stuffed, you should see the petrol gauge   
reading too high.  Is this the case ?

As far as the operation is concerned, Mike's recent post was spot on.  If   
you put an analogue voltage gauge on the regulator output you should see   
the operation of the duty cycle quite well.  BTW, a digital gauge is no   
real use as by the time the reading has settled, the regulator output   
changes.

I think the following didn't reach the list. Apologies if it's a repeat.

Hi all,

It's not snowing so I thought I'd send a query on the off chance that   
others
are also waiting for the snow to come.

Even in this freezing weather my temperature gauge is reading in the red
zone. The engine doesn't seem to be physically boiling, so I assume that   
the
voltage regulator is dodgy. (It's a series 2a with an aftermarket gauge,   
run
by the LR voltage regulator, so I can't look to the fuel gauge for
conformation of this theory.)

Last time I bought a regualtor it was about 6 GBP, so being a tight   
fisted
student, I looked in my Maplin catalogue and found a chip that will do   
the
job for a lot less. What I need to know is what is the output voltage of   
the
regulator, and what sort of current does the gauge draw?

Cheers,
Chris

Dear all,
Billy Connelly that man of mirth from Glasgow, once said :-
        So there you are on the plane and you put that little belt on, what 
for when was the last time you heard the following on the news, a plane with
600 people on board crashed today but they were all alright as they had their 
seat belts on.

My father in law flies 747's and he always makes me laugh asking why 1st class
is a the front of the plane, when was the last time a plane backed in to a 
mountain.

not really lr related i know, but i will be upgrading my belts to harnesses sonn.

by the way my 2a is ex mod and as such the filler for the tank us under the i
drivers seat.

how easy is it to fit a civilian tank and filler etc ?
