Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi all, have just bought a 1965 2 door minor that was half stripped. have put a few posts on asking for advice and many members have helped. Some have suggested talking to local members who might be able to help with finding parts and advice, so if there are any members in Northern Ireland, i would ...

hi all, it's definitely the coil, already ordered a new set of points, condenser, leads, cap, and rotor arm. don't know if this will help but can't do any harm, will fit them before buying a new coil. I live in Northern Ireland so will put on a post and see if any members are online! thanks

Hi thanks for the replies, i bought the car off a guy who half stripped it 5 years ago with the intention of restoring it. He gave up so I took it on, not much of a mechanic but would like to get it running before i do the bodywork. someone told me it culd be a bad earth? does anyone have a simplifi...

Hi all, i'm not much of a mechanic so some advice needed, can't get my engine to run, my 1098 doesn't produce any spark when i hold a plug to the engine and turn it over, and the alternate condenser (silver tube/can thing) is roasting, any ideas would be welcome! thanks

Thanks for the answers, definitely brake fluid so will get new cylinders and shoes!

many thanks.

hey all, thanks for the answers, the photos will be a big help, cheers. There is a guy lives not too far from me who apparently has a minor on the road so i might get a peek at his motr if he lets me. again thanks.

hi all, finally got my first morris minor. 1965 two door in white. it was half stripped when i bought it and first job was to build it up and make a list of anything missing or needing replaced (long list)! I have been making good progress with the bodywork but am not much use with engines, which is...

thanks Alec and Chris, i'll need to look further into the whole traveller/pickup conversion, my panel fabricating skills might be up to it, but as for re-engineering the chassis? though you mentioned the van option, that might be worth looking at as i plan on making a custom back section anyway. man...

Hi everyone, I am looking for a minor pickup to customize but can't find any on a shoe string budget. However I do know of a few rather rough travellers closer to my budget. I know there will be alot of fabricating needed but since minors have a propper chassis will it effect the strength of the car...
