cheers,i'll post some pics of the "damage" on here tomorrow.

My front and rear wings are in desperate need of repair. The paint is bubbling then cracking off in chunks and revelling rust...can they be saved or do I need new wings?..im aware heritage are the best and would love to use them but I have a tight budget so i am thinking of using pattern instead or ...

im up for it,but not sure my minor will make it up north

im not back in the uk until june..but im up for doing a Coast to Coast.

how do I get in contact with the north London and Middlesex branch as id like an expert to look at my minor,im based at raf Northolt in Ruislip?

or any morris owners in the Ruislip area that be willing to take a look over my motor and give me some advice?

does anyone know of a decent morris minor specialist near Ruislip/Northolt area?

first fuel pump was blocked second,third,fourth times the engine kept cutting out,i sorted this by adjusting the screw by the carb got the vehicle looked at and given a full service by a local garage that deal with classics called motorvation,after picking up the car from there it dident sound right...

the main problem for me is im brand new to morris minors and don't know much about them,ive only owned one for 3 months and its broken down 6 times so far and its costing me a lot on repairs.I get told there reliable but mine always seems to have problems.I love the car but now getting tempted to se...

and yes,there was a big lack in power.

the exhaust started spitting and back firing.i checked the water in the radiator and it had oil in it.

it looks like new.did it cost a lot to re-build?

The garage have just called me earlier to let me know that the Radiator cap they fitted was faulty and it wasn't holding pressure which is why it blew. So they've ordered another one.[frame][/frame]photo of my minor 'Baldrick'

the gasket was 17 pounds,tenner for a new radiator cap and the rest was for labour...it was a london garage charging 60 an hour.its pretty much my nearest garage.

My head gaskets blown twice in two weeks now,got it repaired the first time and it blew again 10 mins after picking it up from the garage.They want payment to repair it again.

The head gasket blew on my 67 moggie,after paying out 500 pounds to get it repaired(plus a few other small jobs) I drove it for all of 10 mins from the garage and it blew again. The same garage now want payment to repair it, but I don't think I should..am I in the right?

sorry,it was the throttle screw i adjusted and the lights gone off and engine no longer cuts out.

ive adjusted the choke/idle screw which seems to have temporary solved the problem until I get it into a garage.
