Hi chaps. Yes did set them as described in manual, as you have said. The only prob i had with that is how do you tell that each valve is fully down?? I know that if you continue turning it will start to come back up again, so you can only guess where is about full open cant you?? Paul.M. Eyesight a...

Yes, its a loose fit but goes on and most importantly doesnt come off without the key.
Keep the key on your key ring and the spare key somewhere handy, make a note of the number/code and keep that handy too

The problem with any site is you never know what level of Mechanic you are dealing with, so forgive me, there is no inference, but did you use the number 9 rule? i.e. 1 rocker down set 8, 2 rocker down set 7 etc? Also the whizz kids on here had me set my exhaust valves slightly wider at 15 thou, inl...

The best standard I ever purchased and I still have a pair in my garden, was Pat Austin named after David Austins (the rose grower) late wife.
A deep copper colour with a lovely scent that is so often missing on Hybrid moderns.
Highly recommended.

Hi Guys, I'm Daniel, 22, and have just bought my first Minor. Audrey is a 1955 saloon, (I'll post pics here soon) in Birch grey. Shes an absolute stunner! Just thought I write my first post and say Hi! Welcome aboard Dan, you will find everyone most helpful, friendly and downright omniscient :wink:

Lovely - but I hate to add it's called after William Morris the Arts & Crafts designer not our William Morris (Lord Nuffield - Morris Minors) :wink: Indeed it does tell me that in the catalogue, to commemorate the University of East Londons centenery year, but ah "A rose by any other name....

I had to revive this thread, I apologise! I am baffled as to what colour Martha is. I thought she was smoke grey, but that looks too...grey. Honolulu blue? http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/189350_10150118763897257_544897256_6895550_205323_n.jpg http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-a...

3 stud wheels were fitted to 1920s Oxfords and bullnose tourers.

Mick, I took B...

God, just took the rocker cover off and the whole top inside is covered in mayo! Are you near a local Mog owners club? I think it would be worthwhile contacting them, because if it needs a new head gasket you may or may not feel this is something you can tackle yourself.(white Mayo may be indicativ...

I had to replace one bearing about 18 months ago to get through my road vehicle inspection (Warrant of Fitness probably like your MOT). My car already had tappered bearings so seeing I replaced the one I did the 4 in end. All I had to do its tap out the old cups and tap in the new cups, grease them...
