Morris Minor Owners Club

Looks amazing, well done.

I would probably go for the Merc. BMW seem to have re-invented the rusty car, 10 year old BMW's seem to be showing signs of rot these days.

Best time to buy can be summer, I noticed the price last year creep up when the cold winter was expected.

Which email address are you mailing it back too?

I agree, snail mailing back a piece of paper is "original".

Apologies, I've just caught up with this thread. I hope everything is getting easier for you, moms are your best and most trusted friend at the end of the day. My mom still has a small hand towel that her mom (my nan) used to keep in the bathroom, I guess we all have ways we like to remember them.

An old thread, but worth discussing http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/topic/331301-delphi-rubber-parts-where-to-buy/ Poor quality rubber components are a pain in the so and so for mini owners too it seems. Interestingly a supplier has joined in the discussion to explain and to also explore their ...

Roy was so very helpful, it's very difficult to add to anything that has already been said.

I never thought I would actually miss someone that I only knew from a forum, but he's managed it! A first for me.

A 1978 Allegro. Contrary to rumours at the time, it was actually a nice comfortable car to drive.

Lovely. Great to see so many excellent examples.

Just for further discussion. The plan I believe is to have charge points sank into the road, or not just points but a permanent sunken grid as they renew surfaces. A pad underneath your car will pick up the charge via wireless technology and charge your car as and when needed, debiting your credit c...

By then we might even have road heritage centres where you go to see (past and current as of present and by 2040 classed as old motors) being driven on short sections of roads and motorways, a bit like railway heritage centres. People can then say "my granddad (including grandmothers of course...

I agree. Currently we pay quite a bit of tax on the stuff we put into our cars. How is the inland revenue going to recover tax on the electric you put into your car without hitting your normal house hold running costs. Perhaps the yearly road tax will have to change yet again. Then as you suggest St...

But to run a minor, you need someone to refine the oil into petrol. It is some time away, but it could be our younger members still in their teens will struggle to get petrol by the time they hit 50yrs of age.

Can the MMOC "preserving the use of our Minor" survive this one?

this is how I did it.

Last week being a kind idiot walking back from the gym, I saw a hedgehog crossing the road. It stopped when it saw me, but thinking to myself, you will die there I went to pick it up and put it on the pavement. At the last minute it rolled and pricked it's pokey things in my hands. Wow they were lik...

I wouldn't have thought jolting would be the fuel pump. If you hear it ticking when you first put the ignition on, then it should be okay. I have had these symptoms with stale fuel, if all the fuel in the tank is fresh then read on. I'd suspect it's electrical, if occasionally you get a poor spark t...

Parking on the pavement, you know the half on half off to leave room for traffic. Offence should be compulsory starting handle shoved really hard up the offenders....... *Blank*!

Like anything paint wise, it's important to ensure everything is clean. I purchased the ISOPREP IPA and give everything a clean getting into all the corners with a fine paint brush after prepping. This way I am confident there is no residual grease on the surface to have rust converter applied, befo...

If you can get hold of an MM rear axle from the side valve engine, they are pretty much the same. MMOC spares do have one in Derby I believe. This is a note I got from Mike Perry if you wish to keep the original set up on the rear drums. Hi Dean, The standard diff ratio on a Series MM is 4.55:1 the ...
