[MBZ] more on Volvo

I think that one of the reasons why Volvo parts are expensive is that one is often forced to buy assemblies rather than parts of assemblies. Unfortunately, that seems to be becoming more common with other brands as well. RB ___ http://www.okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Fused

The concept of resistance doesn't serve us well with non-linear devices. Typical resisters are designed to provide a constant resistance over their operating range (wattage spec). Not so with glow plugs (or light bulbs). Section 15-705 (page 2) of the Diesel engine manuals shows how the glow

Jim, By 'Bad' I meant they were not repeatable. If I did the same measurement within 10 min or so I got the same results. But in the morning or the next afternoon I would re-test and the results would be different. I could find no reason for that. I placed the neg probe in the same place

No, You would twist off the stud before you would mess up the nut beyond usefulness. At least that has been my experience. You may want to get a new nut anyway after you get the Van running, so you can tighten it with a normal US wrench, not a whitworth. Craig via Mercedes

I'm quoting this from distant memory, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong. In an ohm meter circuit you are sending a very small amount of current from a drycell through a filament in the GP that normally handles a relatively large amount of current. the amount of current this filament will

_Most_ bulk substances exhibit a positive temperature coefficient, their resistance goes up with temperature. This is true of incandescent lamps (tungsten), and whatever lies at the heart of a glow plug (nichrome?). (Silicon junctions have a negative temperature coefficient, which is why you
