Morris Minor Owners Club

Excellent, great parts availability and a trusty old lump

What a great find, I like that
Would it be a B or O series engine?

I think they were fitted to the Metro Turbos to heat the oil feed to the turbo

It's amazing what a slightly wild garden with a variety of flowers and a pond attracts. Make your own micro ecosystem and sit back to watch. Sometimes quite scary as well, like the time a female sparrow hawk took a wood pigeon off the garage roof and crash landed right in front of the wife

Not very clear as shot through the french windows on my phone, but there it is. Can't embed the vid so here's the link.

Sounds like a humming bird hawk moth, we had one sipping from a lavender plant early in the summer - in the Northwest of England I took a short video, I'll see if I can post it.

Compared with other cars I think most panels are pretty reasonable, some even cheap. But when you look at the number of them you need (floor edge/individual sill panels) then the cost escalates rather quickly - as I have found out collecting everything to do my traveller. The bonus, of course, is th...

Personally I don't use anything in my classics, I used to use Castrol Valve Master but after seeing the state of a couple engines that used it I decided not to bother. They were both Commers with simple iron head engines, the first was a good mate of mine who measured it out carefully to the manufac...

More progress. It ran for about 30 min tonight, on and off. I struggled with the mixture-I'm using a Colortune on no.1 plug, and I can't get it lean enough to show a blue flame, the mixture screw is as far as it will go. It's not far off, as raising the pin causing engine speed to rise slightly, th...

Got the sump, timing cover, backplate and head on now. Got the flywheel on as well, but having a job tightening up the bolts to 40lbft without the crankshaft turning. An old main bearing shell does the trick too. The ends of the shell fit nicely into the teeth on the flywheel and the curved back of...

From the back of the bearing, I did this when I re-built my Mini engine.

Could also be the flexible hoses collapsing in side.

A chap I know made this to fit the pistons in his Perkins

I ended up using an AAA needle and it runs well, nice biscuit colour to the plugs after a run. That was after I fitted the Midget exhaust manifold, previously I had an AAU fitted. It's a compromise really as it isn't a standard set up with all the different components that have been fitted the only ...

I was really pleasantly surprised at the exhibits, a real nostalgia trip. Also surprised at the entrance fee, I think it was only £3 at the time.
If Darth Vader rode a scooter

That's a great guide, thanks for posting.

Yep went a fews years ago and stayed on their campsite for a few nights. The museum is excellent with loads of stuff packed in and not just micro cars, great little cafe too serving home made cakes
A few wee tasties

I do pop up now and again - just when you thought you were safe

Or just a beema towing a trailer

Is your car negative earth?
