Morris Minor Owners Club

Well let's just say I'm struggling to brake the national speed limit

Now that's sorted then what top speed do you think I should get? Obviously 1275engine, hif44 carb, type 9 5speed box, 4.22diff and 13" minilites

Just been to have a look and there are no covers for the cam followers.
Thought I'd take a photo or 2 while I was there

its not meant to be a link. just an item number. would have to search manually in ebay for it in the advanced search. I'll go and have a look now for the cam follower covers. brb

number wasn't meant to be a link, couldn't get the link so its just the item number. Would the cam follower covers be just under the exhaust manifold?

looks nice, I like the red stripe down the side, looks tidy aswell

if you look at this ebay listing and go to the second picture it has 1279 withing the casting of the block. this is where mine has got 1098. the engine code that I found on mine was by the rocker cover next to the thermostat housing on a thin piece of plate

Not sure how good it is but ive always used AMETECH restore in all my cars. Its got liquid copper in it i think that will help with any small pitting but very good with seals as it stopped my surpa twin turbo leaking oil through the turbo seals

Ive been looking on the net for what engine i have plus what the original engine was from what engine codes i have but im struggling to find what they are. original = 10MAVH230001 current = 12V923EH2 original i found is a 1098 but not sure and connot find what the MAV stands for current is a 1275 fr...

I personally will still be taking mine for its MOT, mainly for piece of mind on what i cannot measure i.e. braking force plus the headlight brightness/beam pattern. If you ever are in an accident then the insurance companies will go over the car with a fine tooth comb to find something that not in r...

I saw that in the new practical classics, might be up for a few shows this year. I've got a few days of after today so ill give it a good was n get some pics uploaded.

Used to be out round worcester alot as the girlfriend used to go to uni there but havent been there for a while.

I had one on my MR2 for about a year and half when i was only doing short journeys and it was fine. The other ting you could do maybe is fit a slightly larger battery, just fitted one to mine but im not sure if the one that was on it was a bit small anyway. I'll take the details of it tonight.

[] forgot that. i live in the midland between worcester and birmingham not far from telford

starting amps i think, mine was ok before the cold weather come but when the oil was to thick mine would struggle to start. got a 1275 but starting with everything i could turned off. would only just start with the 300 (amp?) battery.

as a idialy runner you will have no problem. saying that though i have got an uprated battery. I think the one you might have is a 300!!!, not sure on the rating but the one i have is a 360!!!. starts like a trojan and seems to run alot better. going to use the old battery along with another charger...

Im new to this minor lark and was wanting to find local minor owners. Ive got a 1957 with various mods but unsure on what is in there. from what i was sold on what ive been told im a little confused, would also like to find some like minded peeps. im a like what i like sort of person, engineering ba...

Thanks for all the replies, gone for the NUTSABOUTVW's off ebay at the moment. Id looked on google lastnight but could only find people (4x4 people) who want more power for winches n stuff.

Right, ive got an idea but im not sure if its worth doing. Ive just bought a new battery for the minor as the one that was in there was a bit weedy and was struggling to start the car in the sub zero arctic conditions. anyway i have got a new slightly higher rated battery and the original one thats ...
