    Are you sure it wasn't from a Series 2 - certainly no Series 3 I've seen has had one.

    Presumably wired to the ignition so only works when it's on? The military ignition is really simple - off/on/start.

    No I had a series 2 and it didnt have one but I have seen an exarmy 3 which is a later model 3 with the crappy plastic in your face dash and inthe middle there are three gauge holes and one housed the hour meter.

    I wonder which ones had them, then? My ex-army Series 3 has one hole, oil temp. I've only seen them in Series 2/2a's.

    The FFR's (Fitted For Radio) were fitted with the hour meter as the spent alot of time with engine running whilst stationary (charging batteries for the radios). The hour meter would be used to schedule servicing periods.

    Trebor110 beat me to it, the S3 FFR does have an engine hour meter. Landyfromanuthaland, if you look in the files section of AULRO you will find wiring diagrams for the series 3 FFR.
