Morris Minor Owners Club

Excellent work David, all ready for Bangor Seashore Festival?

I wouldn't rely entirely on the oil light as the switches can be unreliable. Do you have another oil pressure switch to try?

Good luck with that - hope to see you in Lincoln some time when you get her fixed

I posted a piece in Minor Matters a while ago and asked the club to forward some info if the owner was a member but that brought no news. have tried the DVLA search route but they would not forward anything on to the current/last registered owner. Not sure what else to try really but will keep going...

Years ago Chris Have tried all of the usual methods of trying to track it down but all to no avail. It's a long shot I know but you never know, someone may havbe some info

Well, no harm in giving this a bump - my search for my first car goes on - do any of the new folks on here know where FYY 809J is? It's been off the road now since 2011 but would love to know where it is! Any help or clues gratefully welcomed - Fingers crossed (again)

Must admit I do like my maniflow system on my 1275 (Kent 255 cam, HIF 44 with K & N Filter) - the resonation is not like the standard Minor more like an MGB and it sounds especially good when accelerating in villages/built up areas in 2nd and 3rd where the sound bounces back at you from the wall...

I'm running a BBW needle on a HIF 44 and 1275 with full maniflow exhaust (LCB plus middle and rear silencer) and this works really well. Not sure if it will work with the 1098/12G940/HIF 38 though but it may give you a starting point. Good luck

No, its not a windup! I'm on the hunt for a Moggy having decided to have a midlife crisis. I got into one for the first time ever at the weekend and could barely get my knees under the steering wheel. Do the seats adjust backwards? I didn't have time to investigate in the one I sat in, hence my que...

Excellent - well done :-) mine passed it's MOT today too! Here are a few suggestions for shock absorbers - good luck and have a great summer on the waves :-) http://morrisminorspares.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?products_id=697&osCsid=b8215e31558c20f8fc758b27badcaf83 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOR...

Sorry to hear about your breakdown on the A15 moggymarris What was the cause?

A lot of newer cars have daylight running lights and unless owners choose to disable them they stay on all the time. So probably more a case of drivers not thinking to turn any lights on rather than just choosing to turn on the sidelights. I can live with the running lights that some moderns have, ...

Apologies John

SIDELIGHTS!!! why do people INSIST on driving in fog/rain/murky conditions in a car which is usually one of the 50 shades of Grey with ONLY their sidelights on?? Does it cost more money to flip the switch forward one extra notch and light up those big old power guzzling headlamps? Are you actually s...

Here's one from Lincoln at Lincoln Cathedral hope you all enjoyed your cars this weekend?[frame][/frame]

A few shots taken today in Minster Yard at Lincoln Cathedral [frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame]

Thanks Louise - That looks much better

Shouldn't the National Rally link from the homepage now take you to details of the 2014 event not last years centenary? It's a bit embarrassing that there are NO details there for 2014! Even a location and date would be a start, but with a shade over a month to go before the event I would have thoug...

Not sure that is a standard BMC colour - the nearest to it that is would be Almond Green. Here's a photo to compare. Whatever colour it is, it looks pretty good [frame][/frame]

There is a photo in ' Morris Minor - The first 50 Years' by Ray Newell (P73) which shows this. Unfotunately my scanner is on strike so can't post it just now. They were apparently made by Alexander Engineering, Haddenham. It was supplied in primer for the owner to have sprayed in their chosen colour...
