James Cook Forum

thanks Andi. that was really helpful

Hi all. I'm about to take the james cook to the mechanic for a full engine restore. He's asking me for the exact engine model so to check on the spares. I have a JC year 1981, Mercedes Benz 207D. Does anyone know what's the exact engine model? I know it's OM616 but I know there are many different OM...

exactly. but shipping to Argentina is really complicated. it will probably be retained in customs. thats why I was thinking on putting a replacement

Hi all, I resumed trying to restore my old d2l heating from 81 JC. I would say it is now a challenge, since I'm not sure it's worth repairing it. So the problem now is the glow plug. It got burnt. It is the old glow plug with like a spring on the exterior. It is impossible to get it. Do you know if ...

this is the original glow plug just in case

Hi Andi Fixed the issue! The starter switch has a lock in it. This lock gets released when you turn the key to the contact position, it releases and let you pull the starter. Well, a small spring went out of place not letting release the lock. It was tough getting to the starter switch, but once the...

hi andi

i will let you know if i have any question.

thanks!!!

hi all! the pull starter stick/lever is locked. I dont know how it happened, maybe I pushed it a bit hard last time I turned the engine off, not sure. the key goes to contact (not very smooth) and lights in dash goes on. bit I can not release/pull the starter. not even to 1st position. I tried very ...

hi all. just out of curiosity. has anyone ran the original old fridge 100% on solar panels? according to the original manual the fridge consumes 85 W. I am assuming this is peak, when in maximum. consume might be a lot less once it cools and you set it to mid/min. here are some numbers I've done: wo...

hi Klassik. Sorry for the delay. I decided not to buy the ac transformer for now. If we decide to stay in Brazil much longer I will. By the way. 2 things related to what you mentioned: - according to fridge's original manual, it consumes 85 Watts at 220 V as well as 12 V. I believe this is at max. -...

Hi all

I'm currently in Brazil and I realized, that in here they have 110V.

Original battery charger and fridge are not working

I believe I have to buy a 110V to 220V transformer.
Is this correct?

If so, how many watts should it have to work battery charger and fridge?

Thanks!!!

Hi. I will check if I find what cable is for that light in the console. Since it is a big circuit in the console, it is hard to say what cable is for that light

I'm having the same problem. the bottom roller broke. So heavy noise every time I slide the door.

I can not see your pictures. Any way you can upload them?

I haven't completely understood what 's the process

thanks!
