Morris Minor Owners Club

A mk1 Ford escort exhaust silencer mounting snapping so I used my belt to tie it up..ruined when I got home! The loss of coolant in my old Moggie whic...

Ive really enjoyed the new series and I think the 3 new presenters are a good mix.
I would like a classic car road test section though.

Hi Joe welcome to te wonderful world of Morris Minor

My intermittent cutting out and non start when it wanted to resulted in a faulty coil lead.

That's a weird one Martin I'm glad that it wasn't a head gasket problem, I wonder if there is some lube that you can use to avoid the problem happening again?

Just to throw my tuppence worth in I had a similar problem with starting where my car was difficult to start or wouldn't start and I found after checking the ignition side of things and checking leads, the fault was a 3 month old Accuspark coil lead giving poor connection to the coil.

I've used a stiff brush / old tooth brush and CIF ( or any household cleaner , there other brands available !) or toothpaste I've heard of people using as a mild abrasive. Worth a go , even if yo...

Wow what a stunning van and I love the old english white wheels and grille.
I want a van as my next vehicle but my wife is telling me I cant have a 3rd Moggie.

Hi Pete, just a thought if you have no joy with the hinge how about a thin chain link that Ive seen on other classics.

Cor. if that's how they come up after a rub down with G3, I'm off to buy some today. you could have a shave in the reflection. by the way. what have you used for the wheels? they look great too. Haha thank you, be careful with the G3 if you go down this route as it can be quite abrasive but used on...
