Morris Minor Owners Club

I have just descoved that the strange tapping noise I have been hearing for the last couple of days on my mog is one of the leaf spings have snapped! :( (its the driver side, bottom one) a few things I would like to know: 1)is it still safe to drive? 2) how easy are the new sprigs to fit 3) what do ...

as I work on a farm, there is not much hope of me using a computer in the fields

only 1, maybe 2 in the future; but I am getting married this year, so I dont want my misses to start divorce procedings just yet :lol

I am 24, so harriet is exctaly 10 years older than me!

opps, yeah prop shaft the universal joint looks ok, the noise seems to be comming from the rear axel, which is why I think it might be the diff

:(

on closer inspection the noise is been casued by over 1 inch of play on the drive shaft, and it sounds like the rear diff has somthing wrong with it

I think this may be expensive, and might put Harriet off the road

This has only started today! When driving and I lift off the accelerator, you can hear a very noisy "popping" noise coming from the exhaust. What could be causing this? there are no holes in the exhaust, and it is not loose. I have topped up the carb with oil, and I am on electronic igniti...

its a shame mogs dont run on diesel as you can run them on cooking oil http://www.veggiepower.org.uk/main.htm

I had a lumention magnetronic one, and it failed when it was 4 years old, I got another unit for free. But it is a hudge inconvience when it does fail, because unless you can covert back to points at the roadside, you have to be towed!

I have just brought a lovley set of soptlights (they are chrome ones for a mini)

1) how do I fit them? I was going to bolt them to the bumper, will i have to use any re-inforcement?

2) how do I wire them up? I want them to come on when I put full beam on, will I need to use a solnoid?

go to a lock smith, they should be able to cut you a key very simillar., it does not have to be exact; I have started my mog with the garage key a few times

if you have a concertina type, remember to use plenly of greese; the way I did it was put one end on, then squish the hose down with a steel rule, get it lined up, release the rul, and hey presto it pops into place!

a list of all the LEADDED petrol suppliers http://www.leadedpetrol.co.uk/list.htm

got to have 60's music while driving, it just feels great

Greese guns are also still widely used in farming, so most agricultual suppliers have em

its a 12v coil, a lotus high performace one = its not made my minor go any faster tho ;)

yeah, both the coil and electronic ignition were at fault

its now got a coil from my Dads MGB in it

Thanks Ray,

thats exctaly what I did this afternoon and she is running (almost) sweet again

ok, the problem was the coil was bust!

it now starts, but is running really auful, I think the timing must be out, any tips on how to do it? and is the dwell angel meant to be 60?

right in this topic http://www.morrisminoroc.co.uk/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=3892 I said I broke down, after the garage did some testing, they told me that it was the electronic ignition that failed. I am going to covertit back to points, I have put them back in, with a new ro...
