Morris Minor Owners Club

Well, although not MM specific, there's this one at Brooklands Museum at which there will certainly be several Moggies (including Myrtle, my own area of responsibility):-

Coincidentally there was an item on last night's BBC News demonstrating the use of A I technology that instantly and in real-time translates speech into whichever language you care to choose - like this:-

Yes, I fitted some when I changed my front brakes to Riley 1.5 nine-inch drums. They do work well enough but the effect isn't as dramatic as I'd hoped. Problem is that, in common with most others I imagine, I'm judging their effectiveness against the servo'd disc set ups on all modern cars and that'...

Anther approach might be to hold the clutch pedal to the floor with a length of four by two (or similar) wedged up against the driver's seat.

That said it's actually not all that expensive, for example 500ml of VM (standard) is £38... Mm, seems like you may be buying your Valvemaster from the wrong supplier... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166469924514?itmmeta=01HTA45HW9D0H2182MFKQA8NSM&hash=item26c26176a2:g:6mAAAOSwt4hlaHMI&itmprp=...

Thanks for the reply, can I check, do you mean Castrol branded Valvemaster Plus, or Classic branded Valvemaster Plus (or both?). It's Castrol Valvemaster Plus, bought a number of years ago for use in a previously-owned car, still on the shelf in the garage and tried on the Moggy in a 'what could po...

For some years now I've been successfully using, with no detrimental effects, Valvemaster Plus together with this:- https://www.frost.co.uk/ethomix-corrosion-inhibitor-additive-ethanol-protection/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8J6wBhDXARIsAPo7QA_b3fDJtlMeWd2-dR9PdKjwlQHPbeLdDOiscCxMS8iXUn-d-tIgt3ca...

I wonder how they would react if you wanted to fill up something like this:-

Hi Tom, when it comes to this fairly contentious subject you could do a lot worse than check out the following website and perhaps phone him for a bit of guidance too:-

Good luck with whatever solution you finally decide on.

[quote I then bought an LED hand help inspection lamp made by Ring which has a magnet on the back too. It’s rechargeable but it cannot be used when plugged in and charging. My jobs usually take far longer than planned so I need a lamp that can be used connected to the mains. It is not unusual for me...

Additionally, the following Q & A session relates specifically to engines such as those in Moggies:-

Don't YOU start!

Mmm, I believe the Royal wee has become increasingly problematic recently.

True enough Chief, however, to quote Stuffedpike20 again, "Maybe if we posted interesting topics, more people would use the forum?" But who decides if topics are interesting or not and does a 'word association' thread qualify? I think we need to be told.

The forum lacks posters.

An interesting observation, especially so when you consider my 1072 total posts against your own 529.

This forum is lacking a lot...

Really? 'Promoting the preservation and use of the postwar Morris Minor' is the mission statement at the head of this board and, in my experience at least, it achieves those aims admirably. Or am I merely the victim of another conspiracy?

Ah, yes, conspiracy theories; just what this forum's been lacking.
