Morris Minor Owners Club

Vaccination has been around a long time, I wonder if those that refuse this particular vaccine, have refused all previous ones that have helped prevent various ailments.

Being new to the forum, he may be finding his way around. You could reply here unless you feel it’s too personal.

With respect to those trying to make plans, unless there is the prospect of a full blown National rally, maybe they are a bit premature. There surely needs to be amenities, entertainment, trade stands and public boot sales going on to ensure a good turnout, and as implied, at this stage those things...

Mot or not the RAC would not cover it.

The RAC recovered our minor van quite a few years ago. I'll need to see if the Pick up is covered.

I’d be interested to know how you get on, covering the Pickup !

Mot or not the RAC would not cover it.

I would suggest you do one modification at a time, and see what improvements you get after each. Start with new springs, Kevin’s idea sounds a plan.

My Morris van is excluded by the RAC. Registered as a private vehicle.

Further to the above ‘repair’ it has been known for complete new drive shaft rubber boots to be split, wrapped round the joint being attended to and superglued back together to save dismantling. ————- No I haven’t done it ! but superglue really works on rubber.

Rubber components nowadays seem to give limited service, so maybe try the other ones.

That member was me ! I couldn’t believe it when I saw the picture, thanks so much for cleaning all that rubbish out. A well worth modification. I told the guy that sold me the canister, that I was getting this mod done, to which he replied ‘we just flush them through with petrol or similar’ I feel l...

Yes, it amazing how it passes through such a small needle. So far I haven’t had any adverse effects, maybe it’s not been activated yet.

As I understand it, this ‘herd immunity’ thing suggests that if most get vaccinated, the few that don’t, can’t effect the rest, or something like that.

What ! Forever ? — difficult.

If your former engine had a mechanical pump, that engine, in my opinion, would have come from an Austin minor van, or possibly a 950 Minor. I’m pretty sure I’m right in saying It’s the Austin 1098 engine version (or 950 Minor) that has the opening, covered by a plate, for a mechanical pump, whereas ...

Mike, I appreciate these issues must frustrate over time.

I’m sure you are doing all you can Mike, I want to say that from the start but certain comments like using the word threat is misleading folk into thinking my deleted post was urging people to leave or else! It was simply saying there are other forums with similar interests, if reliability here is o...

In spite of the recent post deletion I’m glad it has been noted.

Mike, I think you came pretty close to having to moderate yourself on a recent post!!

Guess that was my post, if so, not trying to start a turf war, just the opposite, we all share the same interests so why not combine on occasions. When this place is down, it’s handy to get confirmation from the other forum. In fact I’m about to inform an LCV member that his request for saloon parts...

I personally don’t like too much chrome on a van. However the van is yours so whatever makes you happy !
