Morris Minor Owners Club

I understand the desire for dual circuit - I once had a single circuit Mini where one of the link/transfer pipes on the front wheel failed resulting in first a loss of pressure and then loss of fluid. I drove home carefully using the handbrake, but it would have been better with the other circuit st...

"Back in the day" we used to use Marina/Ital dual circuit cylinder on a pedal box that was available off the shelf. I don't know if there are any still around.

As the top of the door does not appear to be out, I fear that it will be more complicated than just the striker plate. Another reason for the door to stick out could be incorrect sill alignment and/or fitment of the kick plate (cover plate), or an excessively thick draught excluder. Worst case is po...

In terms of sympathetic modifications without making a modern car... Check the car thoroughly for the structure and repair/replace as necessary. Fit poly bushes instead of rubber for all suspension. For the colder climates, use an uprated heater and heated front and rear screens - these are a vital ...

Contact the MMOC Office in Derby. If they have a record of the car then they can pass your details to the current owner.

The number is now on a 2018 Audi

It has NOT been removed, but if it's missing then I'm at a loss to explain why. However, I will investigate and see if I can track it down and get it back in the fold. Can you just confirm, do you mean the Custom and Modified Register or are you thinking of another forum? Any pointers to the exact s...

Presumably he was trying to make himself look a complete [insert your choice of term here] and he succeeded. If he wanted to learn and Chloe told him, then he should have listened. To then say he had to go and leave Chloe with the problem is just adding insult. If his daughter is really that thick, ...

June Sat 29th & Sun 30th, campsite opens Fri 28th plus some evening entertainment. Campsite must be vacated by midday Monday.

Contact the MMOC Office in Derby and ask if they have a record of it. If yes, then they can forward your details to the current owner.

Copper every time. Hopefully you did not run the engine after the problem appeared. If stopped straight away, then likely the only damage is the gasket. Prolonged running can result in damage to the surfaces of the head and/or block - make sure that you check both with a straight edge.

Picking up on whether you already have a mini heater... The standard minor heater has a single speed fan and a vertically operating flap lever. The mini heater has two speed fan and horizontal flap l;ever, but it is possible to convert that to the standard Minor front plate. The Minor heater uses 1/...

Brilliant

I wonder whether the original blade broke as a result of hitting the radiator or hit the radiator as a result of breaking? I have seen fan blades suffer from metal fatigue and crack at the base of the blade. The act of trying to draw air in would then force the blade out and it could strike the radi...

Ah well, everything resolved, no harm done. It takes a a lot to admit making a mistake. All's well that ends well

I'm glad that you got it fixed, but do not understand why you need thick cable and a fuse for a voltmeter, or why you would wire it so that everything flowed through the voltmeter. Do you really mean a voltmeter, or is it perhaps an ammeter (amp meter)? Whichever, if you had provided that informatio...

If the DCB is not in use, then there must be another form of junction box, perhaps a "chocolate block" connector? If you can post photos of a) Your multimeter b) The bulkhead of the car showing the area between the battery and the right hand side of the car c) The Dynanator back to the are...

I believe that you should have a heavy duty cable from the battery to one terminal on the starter switch. From the same terminal should be a thinner, but still relatively thick, brown wire to the dynamo control box terminal A, assuming that the DCB has been left in place as a junction box. If that b...

Presumably the third lamp is an LED unit, and your original lights still use the standard tungsten filament bulbs? If so, it is possible that the brake light switch is still making a very slight contact but the current being passed is not sufficient to illuminate the normal bulbs, but is just enough...
