Morris Minor Owners Club

I should be looking for best quality as I have spent alot to get the car to the present condition and will be keeping my Traveller. It is also intresting to hear about the improved ones rather than the cheaper ones, not being in the know with these springs many thanks.

I need to purchase a pair of leaf springs and wonder where the best place to buy from please,at present Esm seem to be the best price.

Looks fabulous!

I used fj for 2 years until I sold my MG and went to cancel the policy after 2 months use, they wanted to charged me £40 to cancel the policy and told me that I would get a very small fraction of the cost of the policy back. I argued the case that I accept a percentage of the policy would be charged...

I always gocompare website

Fabulous pictures and story.

Wow what a fabulous pick up...well done!

I have a chrome pancake type air filter fitted to my 1098 Moggie and I wonder what fellow owners think of these in comparison to the standard set up?
Any experiences would be appreciated as I find I do get an occasional misfire when accelerating, usually when the car is warm.

Where was that in Hockley Heath please , I know the area well from the 1950s through to now but I cant place it . Just curious ! If you turn right off the Stratford Road in Hockley Heath village by the old Pearsons Hardware stores down school road and follow the road to the end (Illshaw Heath) and ...

I used to visit a scrapyard in Hockley Heath which was a good old fashioned place, I climbed 2 cars to remove a pair of front wings for my 1st car a Renault 4, at the same time filling my toolbox with switches and fixings!

I just used the existing screw holes an rescrewed the glove boxes to the metal frame, you may need to poke the hoes on the new lining to fit.

Thanks for the replies guys. As I had already purchased fibreglass I was having a wee touch of the collywobbles.but feel a lot better now! I wouldnt worry too much about the fibreglass wings, I have fibreglass on my convertible front and rear and nobody would notice the difference tbh. The only dif...

I gave up with my heater valve and fitted the brass tap used on earlier models instead. No problem since .
You would think that a replacement valve could be made to a decent standard though wouldn't you

I did exactly the same on my Convertible as 2 previous heater valves leaked

Loving the bodge stories..how creative we all are

Before I replaced my wood earlier this year someone suggested that I buy the Morris minor traveller book written by Ray Newell. It was invaluable to me and gives step by step aswell as tips of replacing the wood frame. A godsend to me.

I do like that E type dash meshing in the first picture.

Well done Earling! Now its time to enjoy one of the best classic cars every made.

Great points by manyminors, I sold one of my old minors some years ago to a student and the car was spot on. After 2 weeks I received a letter with a long list of faults which were more characteristics of these cars or..poor brakes. When I replied to the list there was nothing out of the ordinary so...
