24-31 July is the only dates available for me, as the schools don't beak up for the summer holidays until 23 July.

I am coming Friday with my folding camper stoping 3 nights.

When I fitted an alternator to my minor I was advised by my local motor factors to fit the later LRA series alternators as fitted to the last a series mini's, rather than the older acr series alternators as these were a higher output and much more reliable, they said they often got faulty ones back ...

Do what I did and put a relay in the rear brake light circuit using the trafficator feed to switch it, so the rear brake light flashes when indicating and put a 5/21 watt bulb holder in the front sidelights for the indicators at the front. I've had this system on my series II for about 18 months wit...

When I fitted my A+ in my series II the original starter which was fitted to the 1098 caught the flywheel when the engine was started. I swaped the 1098 starter with the one from the marina it was then fine. Must be a slight difference in the length of the motor shaft though they did both looked the...

I've got an Ital A+ engine in both my Minors + 3.7 diff, economy just about the same. Look at my website for fitting A+ engine in my series II. I fitted a HIF44 Carb with standard exhaust to start off with, was a little down on power. Have now fitted a Maniflow exhaust, a bargain off ebay, with a BD...

Just fitted Aldon Ignitor electronic ignition to my distributor makes the engine much more smooth running I know some people say stick to points but it has made a big difference. My points were always adjusted correctly.

My series II has just had a good test going to the MOT in France and back without any problems, so hopefully should be fine going from York to the lakes although it will be pulling a folding camper.

Have a look on my website got a few pictures of me preparing at marina/ital engine for my series II. In France on the MOT and my 1275 is going fine at the moment!!

Have a look on my website. Just put a 1275 in my series ll shows whats involved in prepairing the engine to fit straight in using the standard 1098 running gear which was already in my series ll. My traveller is also fitted with a 1275 Ital engine. www.morris-1000.co.uk

I had this problem when I fitted my 1275 in my car this month. I caught the clutch release bearing contact plate on the clutch cover, with the gearbox input shaft. and knocked one of the little springs off. Which made the clutch make strange noises. The sping got lost and I ended up getting a new cl...

Have a look at my website just put a 1275 A+ from an ital in my series II www.morris-1000.co.uk

Mines been like it for the past 28 years wouldn't worry about it!!!

Roof is best a bit fiddly to remove the headlining but only the front 4 or 5 inches needs pulling back and run the co-ax down the windscreen pillar

Finally managed to get a picture of the Leyland logo cast on the side of my 1098 engine which was fitted until today in my Ser II. I have now fitted a 1275 from an Ital in its place. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y148/honda90/IMG_0104-1.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y148/honda90/logo.jpg
