Morris Minor Owners Club

Many thanks for all your help. I tried tapping the switch gently and a bit of WD40 - no success so left overnight - tried again and it had freed up. Running well now. I have also bought the helpful MMOC technical manual CD which is really helpful too.

Thank you all for your advice and help with this. I will let you know the outcome.

Thanks Richard. It wont push in at all. Shall I try tapping it or WD40?

The pull will not budge at all. The battery shows as fully charged and the dashboard lights are bright when I turn key to on position. Yes, it did pass the MOT thanks.

Hello, I took the battery out of my Morris 1000 to charge it. (It came back from it's MOT with drained battery). All back okay - or so I think. Now the starter pull in car will not pull out at all. I recently moved and cannot find my manual so not sure what I should be looking for under the bonnet. ...

I have recently changed my policy with Footman James from laid-up to on road, last month. I was told I needed to talk to another department to cancel laid-up policy. I have been trying ever since - sometimes for as long as 20 minutes. It appeared to be value for money, but in retrospect is not, as s...
