Main bearings

One of our minors developed a bad rumble /knock when over around 2000 rpm. Immediately we presumed big ends. Although no loss of power, no smoke, oil pressure good, oil and water good. So we pulled of the sump and removed big ends. All excellent and not too old. Removed the centre main cap to find t...

Re: clutch

Is the clutch return spring there ?? The return springs can rust and fallen off or not be refitted after a clutch / gearbox removal.

Dad's latest purchase

The three minors that we have, I suppose are technically mine. And although I thought three were more than enough :-? , I saw a traveller which was advertised on the UK classic car classified website (not overly popular over here). The car being a 1968 almond green traveller, located one and a half ...

Re: Morris resto on TV

I watched it last night for the second time. Funnily enough just after me and my dad came home from buying my dad's new addition to the fleet. After seeing the program it reinforced that we had got a bargain. Bearing in mind it didn't cost an awful lot more than the wheeler dealer one and it's a hec...

Re: Diff flange oil seal

Yep my torque wrench (which is an old school good type, not a digital one) only goes up to 100 lb ft. So i think I'll go with 100 lb ft and it my arms allow it just try tightening it a bit more.

Diff flange oil seal

My black minor has an oil leak from the front seal on the diff flange. I have read about needing to pre load the bolt once the new seal has been fitted. Or is it just a case of just tightening up the bolt to a torque ?? I have never done one before so advice would be appreciated. :D

Re: 1966 Morris Minor with genuine 2570 miles discovered

The first listed price was reduced to £8???. But it ended with 2 bids not reaching the reserve. It has now been re listed with 5 bids so far.

Re: Bridgestone 145/80/14 tyres

Well. All i can tell you is that my local tyre supplier was trying bridgestone direct and they weren't available. So the first time he sourced 5 from 4 different outlets !!!
