DVLA log book changes & corrections
I recently noticed a couple of errors on the V5C log book for my Morris Minor. I have owned the vehicle for over 2 years. The car is a late 2 door saloon (1971 'J' Reg), Colour is peat brown. It appears to be a very original low mileage car. However, within section 4 of log book, the 'Date of regist...

Re: My Morris Minor (1971) will not start!!
I really do appreciate the support received fro you guys. It's a relief to get it sorted eventually. :) With regard to the strength/quality of spark at plugs, it's difficult to assess the result, as it's very subjective 'shades of blue/white'! Once I have given the car a good run-out, and added some...

Re: My Morris Minor (1971) will not start!!
Good news! - I've finally managed to resuscitate my Morris Minor! :P - and it is back on the road! Having replaced various components and carried out various checks over the past three weeks, today I replaced the distributor cap and fitted new Champion spark plugs. I checked the HT leads for correct...

Re: My Morris Minor (1971) will not start!!
Thanks once again folks, I will try again tomorrow, as it's snow/sleet & rain here in Coventry today! I will take note of the comments and suggestions concerning the HT leads, & order of firing etc. I've not put any NEW fuel into plug holes yet, I have concerns as per previous post, but may ...

Re: My Morris Minor (1971) will not start!!
A friend of mine called around today, to help me get my car fired-up and running. He is an experienced engineer, having a number of classic cars over the years. However, despite spending a couple of hours in the cold weather, we were unable to get it started! He fitted a spark tester between plugs &...

Re: My Morris Minor (1971) will not start!!
Thanks to all for your input with suggestions and ideas to get my Morris fired-up, but still no joy! I have checked the lower short flexible pipe between float chamber and carburretor for blockage, but it is running clear. I have carried out a compression test of cylinders, and they are looking good...

Re: My car won't start!
Thanks to all for your comments & suggestions. I did the usual checks before replacing anything, so I don't believe the replaced parts are the issue. The car was not used for over a year and stored under a cover outside. I added fuel wen I put it on the road in the summer. It ran well for a few ...

Re: My car won't start!
Hi to all MMOC crew, I am becoming increasingly frustrated as my Morris Minor (1971 saloon) will not start. It's a very original genuine low mileage car, still positive earth, with the dynamo. It was running well about a month ago, but left for a few weeks, but now refuses to start. There is a spark...
