So now I've confused myself Can anyone tell me the colour of my 1967 four door ?[frame][/frame]

I think I heard on another forum that opal manta gearboxes were used on the XUD engines too

I think you are still missing the point. a compression reading is a mechanical reading. moving parts separated by liquid (lubrication). when a vehicle doesn't work as it should, it is down to three things and three things only. if it stops and doesn't go, one of those three things will be the probl...

All the Moggy engines Ive seen are green but mine is yellow. Were engines painted differently in different years? Mines a 63. As far as I know they were all bmc green . There were gold seal engines which were gold but I don't think this could be confused with yellow 8) Thanks guys for the swift res...

Does anyone know where I can purchase some engine paint? I will be taking the engine out of my minor soon to do some welding and thought I would take the chance to tidy up my engine bay Thanks in advance

i agree if you patch you will have welding to do for every mot. New floor panels and a good coat of paint will last years

Thanks dp that sounds like a good plan . I think the zinc primer will give good purchase for the stone chip. Love the look of your minor

If you are going to buy one, I would imagine it would be a good idea to register with an MG forum (I used to use the MG Owners BBS) You would need to find another gearbox, but no idea on prices as already said you would need another gearbox there are a few on ebay they are fairly robust and should ...

Update . Engine running and sounds nice Oil leak from front right hand corner ? looks like may be from head gasket :roll: engine coming out though as front crossmember ? under rad rotted totally. Want to give engine bay a good clean/tidy too .[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1380722043_197...

Hi pretty new to MMOC myself but if you look at branch forum section you should be able to find members / meetings close to you. Hope all goes well with your minor and will look forward to pics

I would like to be able to go but Sundays are part of my working week My best bet is to go to a two day show on a Saturday I suppose .

Having bought Gertie a couple of weeks back work has started to bring her back to life. Firstly engine was seized from standing managed to free off with loads of diesel down the bores and luck was on my side no lasting damage to bores or rings (aiming rebuild at a later date) Next got her up on ramp...

Hi Bryan One other point would be to send out log in details when the membership email is sent ( as long as payment has been made)as waiting for the stuff to drop through the door in the post so you can have passwords etc is a little flustrating ? Peter I couldn't agree more , I have paid by card t...

Quick update now a minor owner bought this on ebay though it was in the classified on here a while back. Its been parked up for seven years but is reasonably sound considering . Engine was seized from standing but I have now freed it off after soaking for a week. To be honest don't know if i'm going...

So can anyone recommend where I can get body panels from ? Really need a catalogue type with prices if poss ,thanks in anticipation

Sorry should have said i'm from Gloucestershire near Cirencester . Any leads to cars for sale would be appreciated or indeed any pointers to look out for .

Hi all just saying hello, not yet a minor owner but soon hopefully . Looking for a reasonable car to improve gradually really , I do have some workshop facilities but don't want a total basket case . Looking forward to ownership and maybe a show or two in the future
regards Andy
