Morris Minor Owners Club

Sadly,my 1989 Landrover has just been exported.
Well, it’s not mine anymore of course...

Amazing how these ancient conversations can spring back to life!

Technology eh...? Getting my first non dumb phone tomorrow. Terrified!

The club own the car now...

Ha ha...depends on your view on originality, driveability etc! Lots of opinions have cropped up on here over the years. I’ve got 155 radials on the trav, and 165 radials on the saloon ( on suitable van rims). Works for me

If you’re struggling just get an auto electrician out and watch what he does...and pick his brains

Mike, do you know that John(busguy) is the hero who saved a very special Minor?
He doesn’t just do keys!

The original minor owners workshop manual is the best,in my opinion. I love it’s strange (in 2020) traditional English. The Haynes manual is quite useful but not completely accurate. I believe they can both be found online, but original copies are easily found at reasonable cost.

I’d be interested in a good 803, as a spare for my A30.
Parts are getting harder to find, so I’ve started hoarding..

Someone with more knowledge than me will be along soon, but my 1275 Trav seems happy with its HS4carb and standard needle.

It’s not worth much if you have to drive miles for a miniscule saving.

Sometimes Useful Vehicle?

For years I’ve used (fresh!) cat litter, tied up in an old sock. Absorbs damp efficiently and easily regenerated in a warm place.

Saw that, not a good look

Bet they were just using spare paint up. It was a different world then.

1972, I was in a Herald when it collapsed at 30 mph. There were a lot of sparks. I was in the back,on the way to lectures. We just dumped it and went to the pub.

Don’t know about this treatment, but when the particulate filter on our diesel modern started to create problems we had the choice of a new one, a used one of unknown provenance or a flush. We went for the latter. Half a litre of chemical blown in under pressure, left for 40 minutes. Repeated, then ...

Looks like there’s been an issue...guess it’s sensible for the club to pre-empt any problems with a disclaimer.

If the box is out just do the clutch anyway, you might as well!

Maybe it’s just another extremely politically correct posture? Councils are prone to that kind of thing.
