Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi I have just fitted brand new drums and shoes to the front of my car, which I purchased from bull motif. The brakes work superbly but are screeching like I don't know what! I have filed the leading edge and roughed up the inner of the drum, but it's still their with avengeance. Do you think this i...

The other side seems ok, but depending on the going rate of replacing them I would like both doing

hi just been replacing my trunnions, and have noticed by the tie rod, the side of the chassis leg has cracked! and it moves in when I push it! I would say it is about 5 inches long. there is also a 50pence hole on the under side further up, so not good news! would a patch be sufficient or would a ne...

Well thank you

Hi My morris is a 1957 model so should have 7/8" bore. I am currently changing the passenger side as it has siezed. How could you tell what size is currently fitted to the car, without dismantling and measuring the bores. I don't want to order a 7/8" bore and find out the drivers side is 3...

Hi

Yes I think I will mention the water pump to them and see what they say. I' don'twant to sound to be 100% negative towards esm. They always have a fast efficient service and are 'generally' helpful. It just the quality of parts doesn't seem to be up to a satisfactory standard.

Cheers

Hi Has any one else had issues with the quality of parts from esm lately? I purchased a Rear Link Arm & Bushes less than 6 months ago and the bush has come away from the arm already! Bull motif look to know what they are on about and realise the issues with other suppliers. Bull motif say "...

I did have this problem with a Rover P6 sump plug. The plug was well rounded off and all stillsons and mole grips were doing was shaving more metal off the plug. I ended up cutting a slot in it and using a spanner, edge on, to turn it out. That's exactly what's happened to mine! I have put oxyacety...

unless it's left hand thread I'm going the correct way

May I ask a stupid question, are you turning the drain plug the right way

Hi

Done that, the bung now is about 3 sizes smaller than it was

Hi

I want to drain and replace my gearbox oil, but the drain bung is seized solid! I don't want to drill out and helicoil it at this time. Is their another way to get the oil out? Remove plunger bung?

Cheers

Hi I have been offered a Lucas Red Box 54413006 condenser, but how do I find out if it's compatible for a Morris minor. I have had two "new Lucas condensers" go on me now, so I am currently using my old original one which is great :D but for a spare I would like a original piece not a Chin...

It's NEVER the coil :roll: I doubt it is condenser I have put the original coil back on and put my "new" one in the shed :D I checked everything with all my original stuff and only had a few sparks and by the time I had finished messing got no sparks at all! So changed my condenser for a ...

Hi Phil

Unfortunately I can see the crack whilst the starter is under motion. Got my car running now, changed the condenser and she fired up.

Car started yesterday and thought it was fixed, a few hours later I went to drive her and she was acting horrid again missing violently!! Hardly keeping a tick over. So I checked for sparks at the plugs, nothing then a few, then nothing for a while then a few etc. so I put my original coil back on a...

Got a shiny new one! I did straighten the old one but I bent it putting the piston back on the end I heated it up too.
£20 genuine SU damper and 96 mile round trip [frame][/frame]

Good idea, I will try and straighten in like you said

Back fire a possibility as before I converted my head to unleaded a few weeks ago she was running rough with a blown head gasket between 1 & 2 Since then she had been good most the time but still not quite 100% When you say heavy Handed as in what? Lifting float pin up to harshly? I rebuilt the ...

Hi all and merry Christmas to you all. Good old mo has been running odd lately, to cut a long story short my dash pot damper cap ( that's what ESM call them) is bent. I had a very unusual drive to the co-op this morning. A hour later I drove it home without it in situ and she behaved herself. I trie...

Hi
Thanks for that, really enjoyed it!
