Morris Minor Owners Club

As above, set it up as per the workshop/Haynes manual. Release the handbrake, adjust the shoes to lock the drums. Pull the handbrake up 3 notches and check the cables at the handbrake end are adjusted up correctly.
Release the handbrake adjust the shoes as per normal and retest.

Keith has hit the nail on the head on a number of points, The main one for me is Education, when smart motorways were starting to be introduced there was very little Information made available for the ordinary motorist. On another note of education, it is only recently that motorway driving tuition ...

I recently sold a 948 gearbox on eBay for £55, the spares you have maybe interchangeable with other models so may not command a high price.

The Halfords part number for the oil filter is HOF203 for the spin on filter. Used them many times on my 948.

My inner chimp keeps making me challenge everybody.
Maybe i should get it drunk.

Your not managing him properly

I trust you have read them too?

Nothing like bad driving and the weather to harvest people's opinions :lol: Most people think they would pass the advanced motorists test when in actual fact we would probably fail. Over the years I have taken the stance of rather than be quick to offer my opinion, only offer it when asked. The same...

I don't think turning it over with the drill will allow you to turn it over fast enough, I would bolt it to a car with the engine running to try and complete the tests.

Hi Mike,
It does sound like a faulty pump if there is no activity. Have you tried the favourite method of giving it a tap with a hammer?
Any chance of a refund?

As part of the process of elimination try pouring a egg cup of fuel down the air intake and see if you get it to fire. Is the pump ticking when the ignition is on?

The simplest way to test the pump and to prove if there is high resistance in the circuit is to connect the pump directly to the battery and start the car. If the problem still persists then check the fuel line for blockages.

If I remember correctly the pipe is 15 mm copper pipe and should be easy to fabricate. If you can't flare the pipe at each end you could solder a olive on each end to form the flare.

I would also check the rear of the head for correct cooling and water flow around the block. Overheating may have caused the problem.

Having fitted a capillary temp gauge on a 948 I would recommend fitting the sender with the electrical connections. I found the readings less accurate when compared to other people I spoke to who had fitted an electrical type sender. Having said that, it is good to know the temp of the engine but as...

After previously being sceptical about using a clay bar on any car I decided to try it on my modern car first and done correctly the results are great. I did my Morris and the years of grime and rubbish it removed sitting on top of the paint was astounding. Before applying any compound I would use a...

Ensure you have assembled the points correctly, if not it will short to earth and there will be no spark. If the coil is getting hot with the ignition switched on then it's normal, once the engine is running it will be fine.

I am at a loss as to what I am supposed to have done wrong

You mentioned the words Hammer and Chisel when seeking advice on removing a nut....
It was akin to uttering the name of the Scottish Play that must never be spoken

Here is a link to the cross section of the sill section, it may help to visualise it better.

I have ended up replacing flexi pipes twice after using a clamp. I found the best way was to round off the end of a plastic paint brush and use it to block off the end of the brake line as you disconnect it from the cylinder.
