Morris Minor Owners Club

Just to tidy up the thread. Having dismantled the gear lever I discovered that not only was the rubber ring missing but also the anti rattle plunger and its spring. ESM odered, arrived, installed. No more strong noise.

If a lot of crud is coming from the fuel tank as surmised, would not the filter in the fuel pump become continually blocked? If it is not then there must be another root cause soemwhere.

I will be interested to know any solution to this problem because I have exactly the same symptoms in my other Classic ( OldTimer) english car. There are a few threads on here about this very phenomena and the initial suspects are low oil pressure ( which you do not have and me neither) worn bigends...

Seems like a good idea but out of interest what language was he speaking?

Not an un-typical landing for the era either....

One of my better ones

This is a real bi plane

super! thanks for the info . I can now investigate and probably order some parts.

Many thanks

With everything working now on my 1968 Traveller so well ( famous last words....) I can turn my attention to the small annoying things. The remote gearstick vibrates and makes quite a loud noise when travelling along. I am able to dampen it by resting my right leg against it ( my car is LHD) . Befor...

I suppose the key to all this was "..used in all weathers.." My Traveller is varnished but hardly ever gets wet apart from when I wash it. It hibernates in the winter in a dry Garage. For the moment I will keep it that way.

New Unit arrived and installed - working as it should. Strangely, it looks bigger than what was in before........

Or VHS over Betamax?

Now you are showing your age...

Are Mr Grumpy stuff still available? I like the idea of his reversing light switch.

The company's own website gives a history of the product: https://wd40.co.uk/about-us/ which confirms that it was the 40th attempt that worked. As I suspected, a US American product heavily marketed world wide, no doubt with a profit margin in three digit percentage proportions but as far as the ex...

oh weia! I wonder what I have got in mine?

It was not cheap, that is true. I do not remember exactly what I paid so I just had a look in the english ebay - over GBP 400.

I exchanged my 4,22 for a 3,9 version with Heathrow Transmissions - works very well.

That seems to me a good solution, I will have a think about welding some steel straps across.

Yes also from ESM . or perhaps the first time from Newton when I comepletly redid the seats. Same produkt though. It is obviously the standard so perhaps I have installed it wrongly.
