Morris Minor Owners Club

Just wondering how often it would be recommended to retreat the woodwork on my Morris minor traveller.i replaced the whole frame 12months ago and everything is fine so I would imagine another 12months before I will need to refresh the coat.i used the varnish rather than the oil as a preference. Many...

Sorry for the late reply Bob I will certainly try your ideas as the weather gets better. Thank you so much for your advice.

My Traveller is Snowberry white and it was resprayed last year. I had a call from the paint shop who informed me that my car had come out with a green tint in the paint :o When they contacted the paint supplier they were informed that there are 2 snowberry whites, one with the green tint and one mor...

My convertible doesnt have a pin but has a lip on the back of the handle mounting plate. I have ground that off and the handle does move forward now but still doesnt lock so I guess I will need the handed lever that fits into the outer door handle.

Another option could be a breakers yard as some models have the roller blind covers that you maybe able to adapt one to fit.
Some Skoda estate models, Focus estates maybe?

On my Traveller the door hinges on both doors are very stiff when I open the doors,I have lubricated them several times with no joy.
I wonder if there is anything else that I can do to improve them please?

Iam after a standard Morris Minor hub cap with the M in the middle, I would like the chrome shiny type rather than the dull finish sort which I have been replacing.
Dependant on price I would have a pair please.
I also have a workshop manual for free if anybody would like it?
many thanks

I was going to upgrade the oil in the damper pots as Ive done in my Convertible so a clean up and overhaul is called for. This is a fabulous "ho...

On close inspection of my Traveller rear suspension I have a leak from the rear shock absorbers, I would like to know if there is a kit for overhauling them as I see shock absorbers on ebay listed as refurbished so ideally I would like to do my own.

I should be looking for best quality as I have spent alot to get the car to the present condition and will be keeping my Traveller. It is also intresting to hear about the improved ones rather than the cheaper ones, not being in the know with these springs many thanks.

I need to purchase a pair of leaf springs and wonder where the best place to buy from please,at present Esm seem to be the best price.

Looks fabulous!

I used fj for 2 years until I sold my MG and went to cancel the policy after 2 months use, they wanted to charged me £40 to cancel the policy and told me that I would get a very small fraction of the cost of the policy back. I argued the case that I accept a percentage of the policy would be charged...
