Traveller side window channels
When I replaced all of the wood on my traveller a couple of years ago, I replaced the side window channels where the side windows slide. I have noticed that the channels are rusting in a couple of places, through the material that covers them. I wonder if there are any better quality channels or oth...

Re: Interior trim. To do or not to do…
Just an alternative idea...If the seats and trim are intact you amy want to save some money and buy some vinyl seat spray paint,I did my old Moggie seats and door cards several years ago in red and they came up fantastic.

Re: 1098 heater valve what's the latest on these?
I fitted the older tap type on my convertible and I just turn it on as the weather changes,never given a problem.
My Traveller has had 2 cabled valves fitted in a short time and Ive been lucky with the 2nd one ...so far

Re: brakes pulling to one side
I think most probably the wheel cylinders as main comments so I will investigate over the weekend.
Many thanks for everyone's suggestions.

brakes pulling to one side
I went on a rare longer journey today in my Traveller and when I brake ,especially from higher speed the car pulls to the left,then right as I slow down.The shoes are about 6 months old and the brakes were adjusted correctly at the same time. Would I be correct in thinking that I may have a wheel cy...

Re: Cooking the spark plugs
My champions snapped on 3 of my ceramics, this with me not catching them with my socket.
I think unfortunately the quality isn't as it used to be on some plugs, I have fitted NGK with no issues so far.

Re: whats going on here then
Thank you everybody for the fabulous advice.I went to work in Morris today and it had a misfire that got worse so as soon as I got home I swapped the plugs for an old set of NGK that I had and upon removal of the old plugs,the ceramics broke on 3 of the plugs. The plug ends were red as pics attached...

Re: whats going on here then
I did wonder if the ceramic should be fixed and they were like this when purchased from one of the regular Minor suppliers.
I think it maybe time to replace with some champions ?

Re: whats going on here then
many thanks for the useful replies,the plugs are about 6 months old and the ceramic part turns round on all of the spark plugs which Im not sure is standard??
I would replace the plugs if it is a dodgy batch maybe?

Re: Clever idea
Rims are originals that I had banded at an engineering firm followed by powder coating to finish. The bonnet prop mingles in like an original look I feel and quite right,lots more light in the engine bay aswell as less brain damage :D I do like the Mini although I dont use it enough due to the minor...

Re: No electrics after swapping solenoid
Solenoid yesterday, but you didn't actually attempt any functional test until today? You just changed it and walked away? Personally I find that incredible. It's like replacing a dead light bulb, on the car or in the home, and not switching it on for a moment to see if it's OK..... :cry: Yes it woul...

Re: Traveller reassembly photos
Hi James I replaced the wood on my Traveller a couple of years ago and I was advised to buy the book, Morris Minor Traveller the complete companion by Ray Newell and I was glad that I did.
It is an excellent read and gives detailed advice on how to carry out the replacement.
