Re: 2008 JC - bathroom tap leaking
Thanks for passing that along. My JC is a 2008, so has the later version bathroom. I am not sure if the bathroom taps are the same. Best solution would be to just replace the cartridge and leave the tap in place. Does anyone know if that is possible on a 2008? Attached is an image of the bathroom sh...

2008 JC - bathroom tap leaking
Our bathroom tap has started leaking slightly. See attached short video. The water is dripping under the sink, down the hot and cold pipes and into the big black plastic receptacle. Not a lot, but it is a "MUST FIX" item. Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this, tighten it, or do I need a new ...

Re: Overhead computer
Once out of storage, we will change the batteries. Good advice re small red wires!
I will update everyone once that is done.

Re: Overhead computer
This makes sense, thanks. First job as I mentioned is to change the JC leisure batteries. We are installing lithium. Once they are fully charged we will see if the control panel stays on. Last summer, we used an inverter with the old AGM batteries, which dropped the voltage significantly. Maybe that...

Re: Overhead computer
Re Sleep Mode. Thanks for all the information. It is possible that it did go into sleep mode, but when I press the big button everything comes back as it was before - fridge on etc. etc. Once out of storage, I think the first thing I will do is replace the batteries as they are old anyway. Then I wi...

Re: Overhead computer
Hi again VTXBE,
Do you think the red wire problem is at the back of the display above the windshield or somewhere else down to the computer by the battery charger?
I am hoping to to have to run a completely new red wire!
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Overhead computer
Thanks for the reply and ideas. I will pop out the overhead computer and check the wires at the back.
It seems very strange that if the display is off, by pushing the big button it comes on again.
Cheers,
Ian

Overhead computer
Last summer we had strange problems with the computer. Sometimes after driving, the display was off. Press the big button and it came on OK and all the settings had been saved. It is no problem to press the button when it happens, but my concern is if it totally fails and will not come back on again...

Re: Cracks in black plastic window frames
The cracks on my JC were at the top hinges. A bad place of course! Mercedes Canada has an affiliated high-end body repair shop called Mitec. They repaired the frames by bonding new plastic above and below each crack. Attached are a couple of images. The bond they used is not available in stores and ...

Does anyone know where we can find one and / or does anyone have a 3D scan of the trash can?
Thank you,

Bug Screens for 2008 James Cook
Our JC is in Canada and we have searched everywhere for bug screens for the sliding door and back door, without any success. The sliding door shape and fit seems to be an issue. We are going to be travelling in Germany in April and would like to pick up a set of bug screens to take back to Canada. D...
