Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks. Did nothing but what you can see in the video. The car goes really well now. Not touching anything else.
Cheers and thanks for the warning.

So made a few videos of what I did. May not be correct but it's worked like a charm. I think it's going better than ever before
Thanks for the advice.

Thanks. Tried the hand clamp several time to no avail checked piston oil and movement. It's little stiff to move up early free to fall. Will remove the whole carb and use the manual to remove jet, clean and replace.
Thanks for advice

Hi I've searched and not had much luck. The fuel pump produces 1100ml a min so should be ok I've removed the float and there is fuel in the bowl when this starvation occurs Before I start dis assembling the carb do you have any ideas. (New territory for me) Gut tells me the jet and or feed pipe to j...

Unbolted the foot switch, wd40 and a few wiggles and hey presto back in action. Thanks for the pointers.

This gives me a starting point as there is no obvious broken wiring or connectors that have come adrift. High beamed worked and no low beam, so drove home on brights and managed to choose a quiet road. Did annoy a few oncoming cars but given the option of compete darkness ..... :o Thank you and I'll...

Hey Matt
Keep your eye on ebay and gumtree although watch out for scams. LRO mag has a few Landies for less than a grand.

When trying to remove the sump plug, it split. After a short while or trying one thing or another, one section broke off, leaving three sides of the sump plug for me to work with. This is a short video showing what I did. It's not particularly elegant but it worked. I think the heat helped... https:...

Yes, two....both Series 3 SWB, one a '75 and other '74, one just on the road and the second is queued up behind a moggie I've just started to refurb. Major differences working on the LR and MM is crawl space and the size and weight of parts. Use the Landy around the farm, primarily to take the bins ...

This issue is not limited to Morris Minors; the hub nut on the Land Rover I've just refurbed looked like it had been attacked by a shark. On a LR should it be cross threaded, it is possible to replace the hub (shown below) rather than replace the whole axle, which makes sense given the bearing could...

Dear Phil Thanks for the prompt reply I suspected that would be my only choice....Damn...but you're right, losing a wheel is not a great idea.... :D As it happens I have another complete axle "on the shelf" that I'll inspect and use if I can. Let that be lesson to those putting on a hub nu...

As the first part of the restoration project, the nearside rear brakes were drenched in oil. It turns out the rear hub did not have a seal or a gasket. The hub was loose, moving very slightly; the other side was solid. I assumed it was a bad bearing but is seems the hub nut was not tight enough. The...

A blue 2 door. You can see it when you drive past.,saw it about a month ago and just found this area on the website Apparently was driven, in owner took off wheels.
Bodywork seemed fine

Sitting on hubs but no paperwork.

£500-600 but he may take less

Good luck

I've found the drawing in the workshop manual, looks like an older version MM but will it gives me a starting point to check the measurements when the Land Rover is outside where it should be and the MM is on a spit in the garage. Thanks again [frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1436190800_24...

Thanks Ian, I've the workshop manual not the factory manual. I'll need to do some digging or buying.
And thank you for sorting out the web address Marky

I'm a Newby and was looking for some help regarding dimensions of chassis. I have two Morris Minors (long involved story) both two doors and 1968/9. : one is in reasonable shape and will be on the road fairly shortly. The second is in terrible shape and the floorpan has really been randomly welded t...
