James Cook Forum

and there is is!! a hot air gun applied to the metal box base I think shortened the glue enough that I could slice though it. also levering the gap open a bit with a stiff screwdriver bit finally it pulled out. now I must say the point of my trying to do this was to replace the lower roller bracket ...

I'm trying.
but the lower edge is very tough. like steel.

maybe a bit of heat to the box frame would soften the glue.

I am blocked again.
I got the right hand panel off easily.
But how do I get the Lefthand "box" out, without having to remove the entire floor section.?

good morning from Kanada where the miserable rainy weather that followed a miserable snowy cold winter finally seems to be receding. I haven't dared to investigate how the various systems survived the winter. I had to rush to get her into storage last December and so I have spent 5 nervous months wo...

I wonder about the value or need to store the James indoors. Last winter we just left it parked in the driveway, of a country property. We.get a Lot of snow here and my partner thought that the James made.it more difficult to.clear the snow (with our hand shovels) and so wanted me to find indoor sto...

That's very clever.
Next year

I did finally drive back over to the barn and checked the James again yesterday. I had disconnected the battery. (But I noticed that the fellow parked next to me had removed his battery completely) I didn't add any antifreeze to our windshield washer fluid. Isn't windshield fluid already "anti freez...

I had to rush to put my JC into winter storage. when the first freeze comes here everyone with a boat or a wohnmobil of any kind panics and scrambles for the very limited number of indoor storage spaces. and the storage people want everything packed away before the big snow hits (and they can no lon...

for what it's worth, after an hour of fiddling I found that it IS Possible to renistall the middle slider while the sliding door is still attached top and bottom. It's fiddly as anything. to do it without removing everything, the door has to be "almost" closed (but not latched closed). I then had to...

I have I think pinpointed the "problem" with my grinding sound when my middle door slider gets to the last 6 inches. it appears the small upper rollers are worn to the point where the do not hold the big roller away from the inside face of the middle track. so.....i've ordered a replacement middle s...

easy to remove. this video gave me confidence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wwfccNKy1g one small roller does have a lot of side to side play in it. that probably isn't "normal" but the rollers do not look Replaceable. so I. will order a whole new bracket (though I am not sure it will be as easy t...

Looking at it more closely this morning, I expect that you are correct - that the small upper rollers are worn and so have a reduced diameter and so are not holding the bracket away from the inside face of the track they way they should can someone advise how I remove that bracket (with the rollers)...

greetings all! it's been awhile since I pestered the Forum (did you miss me?) even though (with your help) I managed to get all the systems working correct, we didn't manage to venture very far from home this summer - several circumstances conspired against travel. (among them though, the fact that ...

got it.

tested it and it is the alternator.
