Morris Minor Owners Club

About time it was looked at again then!

It was mentioned recently but the time has surely come when this category is allowed to accept replies, or at least the ability for someone selling a car to notify others when the vehicle has sold ! I’ve notified moderators of my posts and two posts showing photos have been dealt with but the main a...

Yes, I would also suggest the last option mentioned, I had a similar issue with a small gap in a tailgate seal, when driving with a partially open window, fumes entered.

What is done by a man standing up, a woman sitting down and a dog holding one leg up ?
— ok I’ll tell you. —-shaking hands. ( pre virus)

Just seen your post, I have now sold most of my duplicates, just wanted to reply to be polite. Sounds like you will get sorted now though.

You should be able to stop rotation by holding the prop, try it.

How does that help a guy who hates spending?

This thread is confusing me, earlier in the month you did say He (meaning your car) has got a loom to go with him to a new owner. That’s what prompted my suggestion that you might get a refund on the loom. Apparently there is no loom. The plot thickens

Oh I thought you’d already bought the loom.

If you don’t intend fitting the loom, you could possibly get a refund from the supplier.

I don’t know the numbers but there are various strengths, ie medium, high, etc. I wouldn’t use the strong variety in fact I wouldn’t use any on the nuts you mention. In fact I would give the threads a smear of copper grease. It’s unusual for the nuts to come loose.

Yes that’s where it fails for me. Thanks for trying it.

I can’t attach pictures no matter how small the file is, is it me or the forum?

When you fix the crossmember issue, you would do well to take the opportunity to source some original parts and put that linkage arrangement back to standard. I don’t know how keen you are to go any further but sorting out that hole someone has hacked out would be an idea, apart from a structural po...

The crossmember problem can be better fixed by dropping a 6mm plate, (covered in grease or similar) with the appropriate threaded holes, into the chassis leg, after removing the remaining nut retaining cages ( the bottom of the leg needs to be flat and clean) The torsion bar can be levered to give c...

Well I never, when I recently suggested we might see your car for sale soon ——- you said never, and told me to get stuffed ! . Never say never !
