Morris Minor Owners Club

I agree, this car deserves to be saved / restored. Would you be disappointed to hear that the Classic Car Club of N/Z are quite often consulted on such law changes? That does sound a bit worrying, like your own club is working against the ordinary enthusiast............ :( Best wishes, Mike.

Hi, Is one of these what you're after? https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjkjY2805HrAhVN7u0KHRhjDuAYABAEGgJkZw&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESQOD2mY9R990W9H4dzAUH7ilkhnRyrKsUYmH-DzMmpf9D57F65P2eF3LPj_BIFwpwM4Dsj7ld43cUonHqGcZ-xQs&sig=AOD64_1d7BsUeiRBYZsQiRw68KYhoRcm6A&ctype=5...

Hi,

Thus killing off home restoration..... Let us hope no-one ever applies this over here, potentially allot of perfectly savable cars could end up broken up for spares only. Plus with repairs only allowed to be carried out by a certified 'professional' restorer or restoration company on company premis...

It would indeed be a shame, I’m English and a motor mechanic by trade. I spent a great deal of time welding cars and this one is not that bad. None of that changes the fact that the law here now does not allow me to repair it and it needs to go some where. If I find someone that wants to ship it ba...

Decided to sell :( as I'm moving and haven't spent any time on her during lockdown, so feel like she deserves a more determined home. Sorry to see you go Elinor, I hope you still feel you can come along to Minor related events and even a national if you can get to one. Everybody is welcome, with or...

We have had more than enough on the forum complaining of no spark, only to find the supply lead has failed, fallen off or the coil or the pig-tail lead is open circuit. Those sort of comments could paint the club in a bad light and put inexperienced members off asking questions on this forum and / ...

Hi Jeff,
As below.
Best wishes,

Trafficator wiring is really simple, a single live wire to each trafficator, which then earths through the body of the trafficator when operated. The hard part might be pulling through a replacement live (not supplied in with replacement looms :roll: ). Mine were still working, so I have left the o...

Hi,
The NMP plate is in the engine bay, on the floor near the front on the passenger side, not on the engine, as per image below.
Best wishes,

I’ve found a Marina version on eBay item 264262641769. This has the correct bell housing Good luck with your conversion John. :D Take some pictures as you go and create a post, I'm sure people will be interested, especially if the Marina version is as good a fit as you think it will be. I bet there...

Hi John, Sorry to hear of the amputation. There are a few out there, if I've found the right one that is. Price is the thing it seems, they can cost rather a lot................... Here's a few links: Best wishes, Mike. https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjBhrjDgfjqAhXSgFAGH...

I've done a little google.... Interesting, can you post this up on the post I dedicated to the subject, thanks. I'd like to get as many opinions on there as possible and get people talking about this, as I think it is very relevant to all of us that run classic cars. I am not the only one who has t...

Hi, 'Philthehill' posted up a link to Waterless Coolant: Here is one version:- https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/s/co ... ss-coolant Which I then said was something I would seriously consider, as my engine and heater are empty and have been for some time now (plus my rad has been re-cored), whilst...

I can't remember exactly who/where but I have read that the waterless coolant isn't really suitable for the A series engines, and that some builders (peter burgess maybe?) won't provide warrantee on engines that have been run with it Sounds like this question may be worth a post of its own on here ...

My engine and heater are completely drained at present, so I'm giving serious consideration to the Evans prep and Power Cool 180 waterless coolant. So long as it is okay to drop it when I need to work on the engine and then put it back in again after......... It has a claimed life of over 20 years....

Mike thinks the police are run by a 'liberal elite' Why would you want to work for a police force in a state run by a PC liberal elite No, I said and believe that the state is run by a liberal elite, unelected and behind the scenes. In that sense it doesn't matter which political colour is in power...
