Morris Minor Owners Club

The only other error, but it doesn't detract from the value is it has been fitted with a later front valance. The over riders obscure the side lights.

Personally for that money, I'd expect a car to not only go through the next MOT but perhaps many more after that too. It's important therefore, the hidden bits, such as the sills and the underneath are as good as the bits shown in the photo's. Several years ago, mine was valued at £3k. But it isn't ...

I do endevour to put a conclusion/result in the threads I start, as I believe it is good we all share our experiences. This forum is always my first port of call for help and I think it is only fair on the people who have offerred their services. If there are any of mine I haven't concluded, please ...

I know mine is an earlier model with a different boot lid, but I have issues with the right hand side of mine too. I dropped the rear seat and looked into the boot from the inside with the lid shut and the wooden bases removed. I was surprised to find the curve in the body where my seal sits is a sl...

Lets hope one day, this teenager in the trendy grey cap and tracksuit grows up and makes his own way in life. Then suddenly, completely out of nowhere, his life and finances come crashing down on him when some scumbag burns his treasured possesion to the ground. Hopefully not with him in it of coarse.

thank you someone who understands , well i won't be posting any more i have had my fill of it , i shall continue driving my series 2 with it's copper brake pipes , crossply tyres and METRIC bolts holding the front panel on and just to really get up someone's nose i shall turn off my heater tap when...

I poured some engine oil down my cable from an oiling can.. worked a treat, doesn't wobble at all now.

Absolutely beautiful! Well done. Great to see another cheesegrater get rescued.

looking forward to the rest of the story. Fingers crossed everything is how it was last left.

How old is the fuel in the car? Mine ran terrible recently due to stale fuel, if it's over twelve months old it may have "gone off" like mine had.

I have no strong feeling either way whether to stay in or out. I'm currently leaning towards out as there is one thing that gets under my skin. When someone is found guilty of a crime and a UK court finds them guilty, they can then go to a European court and get a different result and ours gets quas...

Well I still can't see how on earth the paint spraying world advanced by going to 2K paints, don't tell me some pen pushers with power decided celly was too harmful for the environment and decided on 2K paints as the way forward ? What paints are recomended / available for the DIY car restorer at h...

Profits may get transferred, but the tax paid on it generally can't and that goes straight into UK PLC's bank. Nissan, Honda, Toyota all said they would move into the Euro Zone if we didn't adopt the same currency as France and Germany. Well that turned out to be porkies. Would they leave and move i...

Most socket sets have a spark plug socket. It is basically a little deeper/longer than your normal socket. If not your local motor factors will do one.

Is there no way you can do the discs and pads yourself? Provided the discs aren't within their minimum thickness you could just do a pad change for now. Price up some discs and pads from your local motor factor, you'll be surprised how much you could save. It used to take me about three hours taking...

I think it has gone, but check here:

From memory I think they sit on the inside.

I had to cut my old rubber to get it out and replace with a quality new one. Don't go cheap though with the replacement, they really are a poor quality fit.

Only take the front out if you really have too.

Lovely stuff. Nice colour too.

Will your grill slats be Birch Grey?

Yay, thanks BMC it's running a treat now. Fresh fuel and a good 10 mile run has blown all the old stuff through. Ran like a kangaroo to begin with but after a good blast it runs as good as ever. Even the plugs are the right colour too upon inspection!

In my opinion, everything.

renew all wheel cylinders, nipples, brass junction bits, pipework, master cylinder and shoes.

Mine stood for 20 years or so and the fluid evapourated and left a residue in everything.

While everything was apart I cleaned and repainted the backing plates.
