    OM 366LA Starting current peak/sustained

    Yes, I saw 4.6kw somewhere when I looked up the part number. So 100Ah 24vdc at 3C will be more than sufficient. That's continuous too. Peak is 10C..

    OM 366LA Starting current peak/sustained

    Ill be running the Winston dedicated starter batteries, from what i can tell they are just regular Winston cells, they have no BMS and my 90Ah 12v has been working great now for ages in all temps in the Range Rover. They assure me that wired in 2 run in series will be fine and offer much more...

    Like how methodically you are working! I only have mental lists of stuff I need to do but I should make some decent plans like this!

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    We set out in the middle of November for a month long SUP surf trip to Gran Canaria, unfortunately I ended the trip by breaking my right leg in 5 places at the ankle and knee, so truck building is a bit behind schedule until that heals up. Good time to order the rest of the heating components I...

    MB 1120 Coming to America! Purchase, Build and Now Travel!

    Let me know if I can be of assistance somehow from here. I suppose the second hand route would be more cost effective for sure. We actually have 6 gears, I think the G4/65-6 but I can’t remember since 7zap started to charge for vin parts lookups. Best of luck!

    Cab Seats

    So I'm looking at some second hand Recaro Ergomed seats (Thea wants to upholster them). Some questions: Do I reuse the existing bases? If not then is it all custom or should I be looking at aftermarket bases again? Lots of the German ln2 cabs have Recaro seats, but I've not had any luck getting...

    Curious as to where the fuel is being taken from? The return line or directly from the tank, only asking because I am installing 3 separate heaters now..

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Thea finished up the carpet today, we are probably going to go with new seats and reupholster the bench in leather. Was wondering about keeping the existing bases or has anyone installed those air ride bases in these trucks before?

    Has anyone actually done a disk conversion on the LN2/SK trucks? Should be possible I assume?

    RAC, AA, Viking, etc. There are a load of them, if I remember correctly there are certain roads you required to have coverage, Autostrada etc.

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Thea laying up the carpet today, putting those pattern making skills to use! I have assembled most of the sofa sectionals this week and am mocking up the "power brick". Funny how plans change when you start building for real, but I think I have a decent place for everything now. I'll need to...

    This is incorrect. You can purchase roadside assistance before arrival for any vehicle. Maybe just not from your insurance company.

    1990s MB truck owners. Looking for some details!!

    They are easy to drive. Don't believe the hype. Much harder situations occur when I'm towing my 23Ft boat with the Land Rover Learn the braking and gears and it's a great cruiser.

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Nice, we've finally decided not to go with underfloor heating. The main issue was with the main outlet on the compressor. We couldn't maintain pressure. The pressure fitting was to blame in the end. Easy fix but frustrating after a rather costly inspection and service. Working my way through a...

    You will not need 2000-3000 in the EU or Norway. Just carry some good insurance and 50 euro to cover the excess. The recovery companies here actually know what they are doing!
