Morris Minor Owners Club

Yes, I asked a neighbour working on his bike recently, if he was sure it was British, because there wasn’t a pool of oil under it ! he wasn’t amused.

Some may say the windscreen thing is a silly point but sitting quietly with ones own thoughts, if we can wipe out flies in such numbers, I think all but the most shallow of people would be hard pressed to deny we’re doing something wrong. I won’t mention the RainForests.——— now where were we? Oh yes...

At least that’s a quick death. Incidentally have you noticed in recent years, the days when a decent car journey left windscreens covered in dead flies etc, are no more? Another example of our relentless drive to exterminate life.

Depresses me that ANYONE can class celebs eating or killing insects as "entertainment". Let alone 2 short-arsed twits feeble attempts at humour. The eating of live insects has been discontinued, people power and the intervention of animal charities and certain well balanced people. It must be remem...

There are so many variables, convictions, motoring and/or other, health issues, modifications and possibly with a larger engine a company may require upgraded brakes etc. You’re asking a difficult question, phone a few companies, then you’ll know.

Yes, that’s what it means!

The devil made me do it !

You’ve got discs, that’s all that matters. Just make sure there’s not a Minor behind you.

Great that we can agree to disagree !!!!

I’m happy with my drums, you’re happy with your discs, sounds like all is well

Regarding disc brakes for safety, I don’t think drum brakes equate to unsafe, otherwise they wouldn’t get an MOT certificate.

Selling on behalf of an elderly gent, he is apparently open to reasonable offers. Advertised here before ebay. I think there is a faceplate and spare chuck, and maybe other bits and pieces. It’s in Swanley Kent.

I’m selling on behalf of my friends mate, see ‘for sale’ section

How far do you go with mods before realising one might as well buy a ‘modern’ vehicle. I’ve reached the point of deciding wether to complete and fit a Marina engine or keep the original, it runs so sweet I’m starting to think I’d be silly to replace it. Some serious thinking required ! PS: I have fi...

I don’t know if, it fact, I’ve ever used full lock, I’ve certainly not heard a clonking noise. If there is metal to metal contact in this situation, and considered normal, I would think entering full lock with a more gentle touch would be the answer, rather that perhaps turning the steering wheel at...

Probably the front engine plate that Phil mentioned takes care of the engine mount situation.

Any potential buyer might like to consider an equally distressed bonnet for £474, recently advertised.

Looking at the prices Mark has posted, it is worth bearing in mind, that some legs have different arrangements for the area around the pin The original design is quite involved with considerable strengthening, something like a channel within a channel. I would be very surprised if replacement legs h...

When you see some of the wrecks on ebay that get bids, some folk will still be spending a few bob on parts!
Although I do wonder where the old car situation will end up, well motoring in general, for that matter.

I recently bought a starter motor from a seller on ebay, it is rated at 1.7Kw. Not for a Minor incidentally. Is this Kw figure a measurable one, as I’m wondering if, it fact, it has that rating? Hoping you electrical guys will know !
