Sounds like I’ve saved myself a few quid, my grill vibrates like hell without any badges!

Is anyone able to tell me which shape of mirrors should be mounted on the wings of my ‘56 SII two-door?

It currently has oblong ones fitted but I’m not sure whether these are correct or whether they were originally round...

Any help would be appreciated.

I concur that a darn good clean will most likely sort them out. See Section N30 but also P9 in the manual. P9 details the lubrication process, but it needs to be clean first. Sounds like they need a good old clean up (including earths and the plunger rod) and light lubing on the hinges. After many ...

A couple of questions arise: Shouldn’t the switch be on the right hand side of the wheel (and brown)? There are a couple of little holes either side of a bigger hole on the far right of the da...

No, I'm in Cheshire. I'm just the simple sidekick to my cars!

Hi all, I have just acquired a ‘56 SII two door and thought I would post a quick message to say hello. I’ve spent the last couple of days reading through the forum and have picked up a fair amount of needed info from the vast range of posts here. I’m new to Minors but have had a fair few classics, I...
