Morris Minor Owners Club

Same here,new owners seeking advice and ressurecting older posts for comments...which is understandable.

A morris Minor convertible,a Morris Minor Traveller and an Mgf steptronic ...with the gearbos playing up!
Good job Moggies are on hand for reliability......

Brilliant,thanks Phil

My Morris convertible 1098 engine is due for a timing chain replacement as it is rattling and I wonder...
Is it a easy enough job to do with any tips and should I replace the sprockets as a kit or chain on its own?
many thanks

Thats great advice tahnk you both Phils, Im going to compile a list using your recomendations and I will tackle my Traveller over the winter in my garage.

I did my car with Dynax S50 and used a sealey SG18 gun to apply it. Like most of these products it is fairly thick like treacle and will not spray very well if at all when it is cold, my solution was to have a bucket of very hot water and stand the 5 litre container of S50 in it for a while to warm...

Seal arrived and fitted today (thanks Panky) the inside lip of the seal slots between the wooden frame and the slide felt.
Ive water tested and no leaks so Im really pleased

Ive just ordered the seal trim from Pankys original link as I like the look of that so hopefully it will fit easy enough.

Thats exactly what is happening Phil, I did wonder if it was worth fitting a seal to the b post where the window slides shut aswell maybe.

My traveller leaks water in on the left hand side into the passenger rear footwell and I have traced it as running along the bottom window sliding channel. I have checked the drain holes are not blocked and wonder if anybody has experienced this problem please? It is as though the chanel is acting a...

Thank you Phil,Im going shopping

Are these trays very effective Phill?
Ive used the smaller ones with not alot of success so It maybe needing the larger trays.

Thank you Keith, I will give those a try.I have a similar car to your Mx5 as in an Mgf, which is awful in the winter months for the damp and this will be a good test.

My Morris minor lives on my drive at tiimes and I get damp/condernsation inside the vehicle at this time of year and wonder if anybody has tried a dehumidifier or any other gadget to help the overnight damp please?
Im happy that I dont have water leaks into the car or any other source.

Fabulous news and great to drive your Moggie again

My only concern would be if it would cause any overheating issues or not

I have bigger banded wheels on my Minors and have a standard size wheel as a spare to get me home. In the family modern Vauxhall Mokka,we had a can of weld but soon swapped it for a proper spare as Ive seen so many tyres scrap at work after the tyre weld has been used or not worked enough to inflate...

Could it be for added strength to the floor pan,rather than a flat floor maybe?

I do find driving my Minors at the old speeds they were intended to is more of a relaxing ride,its the other idiots that see an old car and pull out or overtake you that frustrate me.
