the green "nocharge" light stayed on last night
and the guage showed a steady discharge with
the lights on. curses -- looks like the
generator failed. maybe the voltage regulator...
i have a spare generator, but for some reason i
would rather rebuild (and keep the spare ready
(WHY is this?)). thought
of the 2-3 days required to rebuild mine. well,
i can go a week or so before doing it. make sure
the handcrank is onboard. yes, there it is...
on the way to work this morning, i saw some smoke
comming from under the bonnet -- curses, there is
a wiring fire. make it to the next light and pull over.
looked under the bonnet and -- lo and behold --
there lay my fan belt with a nice break in it. my generator
problem was fixed -- the electrical wiring smoke was steam
released by the radiator cap. since i just drive
3 miles to work, i
can put this one off till the weekend... the
rover drives on -- pretty reliable
vehicle for me...
