Re: Reconditioned rear dampers OR Telescopic damper conversion kit ?

Hello I have the telescopics on the rear of a saloon. Were a great improvement when fitted. I have a kit from a long gone trader which used a lower mounting the same as the van/pickup which gives more ground clearance than the ESM version. I recommend changing the fronts as well for the best ride. A...

There are usually Minors there including mine, worth chatting with the owners for advice and info on using and maintaining them. Cars arrive from 8am and leave from abou...

Re: First Minor. Daily drive - winter advice request

The clutch plate for the 1098 is 7.25" diameter. The 1098 pressure plate is considerably deeper the the 948 one. 948 is 6.25" diameter. For the 1098 box you need flywheel, clutch, clutch fork and bearing all for the 1098. Even on a 948 engine. I'm not sure how you were able to even select ...

Re: First Minor. Daily drive - winter advice request

Hi Oli The ribbed gearbox is the 1098cc one. The skinny! Clutch is 948cc. I fitted a 1098 box with 948 clutch and it wouldn't disengage properly. You need to match the clutch and flywheel to the gearbox. If you can put some photos up showing the various parts you have we can see what you'll need to ...

Re: Replacing wheel cylinders

I've had this scenario several times on Minor brakes. Could be the master cylinder. Check and make sure all connections are dry and no leaks. The only way I found to get the air out was: Fill master cylinder to normal level and replace cap. Get an assistant to pump the pedal several times until firm...

Re: Four Door Saloon

The 4 doors being less sought after than 2 door cars seems to been the case with vehicles in general. Those that wanted a sportier looking style car wanted a 2 door eg MK3 Escort pop 2 door modified to look like a XR3. I've had 3, 4 door Minors, not out of choice just what came up, there were consid...

Re: Front hub bearings "UPDATE"

After reading this and having problems with play on the front wheel after replacing the bearings from a known source, the bearings are available from Heritage Car Parts with the inner one with a greater radius to fit the stub axle.
Fitted perfectly and now without play. £45 delivered though.

Re: electronic ignition kit

I have fitted a couple of these. Engine runs alot smoother and more responsive. On the 1098cc i fitted a 45d for mini with gold coil. Once fitted and timed up they are practilcly fit and forget. You need Neg earth. if not already been changed.
