Morris Minor Owners Club

'Ere stop hijacking my thread :wink: Thought you might like to know that a replacement coil of the right type solved the problem. Moral - dont be tempted to try a mini set up in the mistaken belief that it's the same engine, so....... Cheers one and all BTW Apart from the Moggies I've only ever owne...

Fair point, and one that I have come across before on a VW (no not a Beetle - Perish the thought - YEUGGGH! :oops: :cry: ). However The car was running OK before hand and had never missed a beat.

Leaks and poor attatchments were checked as was the float level in the carb. I had to change the coil cos I replac...

Wheeee! Here comes a spanner in the works I've just got rid of a '68 2-door (standard trim not deluxe) that had a ashtray running lengthways along the transmission tunnel just behind the front seats. It was held down with four crosshead screws.
