Re: Moss Manchester (Cheadle, Stockport) Closed Down

Used them several times when over from Northern Ireland visiting family in Didsbury, have to say always found the staff to be brusk and not particularly helpful. When ringing several weeks before a trip over to order parts and then checking a week later to ensure the parts had arrived in stock befor...

Account removal notice

Just received an email this morning advising my account would be deleted as I had not responded to the activation email. Seems a bit random as I’ve not requested a activation email; anyone else’s had this email notification?

Re: NEC classic car show

Going to price the ordinary classic car owner out of the show, I was there this year for the first time in about 10 years, very expensive weekend, and I’ll not be back again, £16 for parking extortionate, and the discount tickets were devalued once the £2 booking fee was applied. All very well payin...

Re: Not what it used to be?

I think the Christmas upgrade killed off the forum, photographs disappeared from existing posts, the new format is not user friendly for a smart phone or ipad, it's harder to navigate around the posts. An upgrade should improve things, not make them worse, yes we miss Roy's posts, it's never the coil!

Re: Door Frame to Door rubber seal

I filled out the gap with some dum dum, but the use of silicone sealer seems a good idea too.

Re: Dipstick sleeve

Esm sell new ones if yours has lost the will to live. As they are plastic they perhaps become hardened with exposure to the heat in the engine bay. Get a new rubber washer for the dipstick too as will stop any rattles or leaks.

Re: Dipstick sleeve

They usually are just pushed into the engine block, and are a friction fit, small tap with a rubber faced mallet should secure it

Propshaft Problems

Hi, just checking out my propshaft before refitting to the car and noticed this at the gearbox end. From the photo there is a small metal disc at the spline end of the shaft that is coming away from inside the joint. The ends of the splines can just about be seen through the gap. Doesn't look right ...

Re: Fitting an alternator with an ammeter

Probably best to remove the ammeter as all the output from the alternator will pass through the instrument. 40-50 amps passing through the ammeter will overload the wiring and could cause a fire. Most ammeters are rated at 30 amps, way under the minimum output of the average alternator, Better to fi...

Re: Protecting the inner wings.

You can buy aluminium inner wing guards for the front wings from Lokari, these have been hand made in Germany since the 1960's

They have them listed on eBay. Search lokari morris Minor. Their website gives more information on the liners

Thinking of buying a pair for my convertible.
