:) I took mungo for his mot last week and he sailed through with the exception that the tester said there was a wheel brake cylinder bolt missing. I replaced all the wheel cylinders and pipes last year so the bolt must have dropped out or I forgot to put it in, therefore can anyone tell me the size/...

:-? :-? hi all just a quickie to ask if the reverse plunger plug, ball and spring hold the rear selector lever in place. ( MM Oldbury parts manual Nos 34 35 36-------19 of the gearbox exploded drawing) in other words will it be alright to take the gear leaver out and not lose the ball inside the cha...

hi, the switch is brown bakelite with a small L on the centre.

sorry forgot to say my car is always garaged when not in use so I thought I could fix the charger to the roof of the garage or the side of the garage and put the leads through and inside the garage.

Hi, would this be any good for leaving my moggy battery on a lengthy charge during the winter.

:o hi all, I am trying to locate from somewhere a headlight / sidelight switch knob. the piece that goes on the end of the switch. Mine crumbled due to age I think, and I don't want to replace the switch just the knob with the letter L on the end. I know I can get a replacement switch from MM spares...

:-? :-? Hi all, I have just been to the MM centre , oldbury to get some parts to stop my gear leaver rattling when i'm driving along. The parts I bought were :- Plunger control shaft damper, Spring, spring retaining cap. What I would really like to know is. is it possible to take the gear leaver rub...

:D :D :D hi all, after your suggestions and the process of elimination, I have finally found the solution. the last thing that I tried was the starter motor, if I left the connection off, the battery held it's charge, but when it was connected the battery went flat, so I gave the connection a good c...

:o hiya bm, Yes when I put anything on it shows a very very small discharge but otherwise when I am driving along the needle hardly moves a at all , it more than likely stays in the middle of the gauge showing nothing. But having said all that I think I have found the problem and that is the commuta...

everything as you have put is ok even the ignition light goes out when I start the car after first charging the battery. The only extra thing that is on the car is indicators to go with the trafficators and an ampmeter which incidently doesn't do a lot when the engine is running, it hardly moves exc...

:-? :-? Sunday started the car up, fine, went to Webbs car show and when it was time to leave the car wouldn't start, flat battery ?, so 2 nice gentlemen gave me a push and the engine only needed to turn over once and it fired up straight away, got home ( 9mls ) without a hitch. Next morning started...

thanks for the replies, the radio is neg' earth so I think i'll try it anyway and see what it sounds like, failing that I think i'll take a portable radio with me.

:) :) I have a Unipart push button radio that I am thinking of positioning under the parcel shelf of Mungo. I just need some advice on the connections as I am not very electrically minded when it comes to old cars. On the back of the radio is the obvious aerial connection, and then there is a black ...

Has anyone else not received the magazine for July/August or am I jumping the gun. I do look forward to reading it when it drops through the letterbox but as yet nothing.

my '56 splitty has a round heater that sits on the parcel shelf and even when it's switched off it radiates enough heat to warrant the windows to be wound down. I want to take it out and overhaul/inspect it and still want to drive the car, therefore would it be possible to disconnect the hose from t...

hi there, I have just gone through my records which I printed off the potteries website IE potteries.mmoc.org.uk and from oct 1954 through to sept' 1956 it says that the colour is sandy beige with a maroon trim and maroon carpets. if you want to verify, just go to the potteries website. I hope this ...

i have mot's from 1993 with the uod reg' when I bought the car the then owner had aquired it for it's registration to sell on and subsequently had an age related plate issued by the dvla which is now on the car, the mystery deepen but i will eventually get to the bottom of it.
cheers

I hope I have put this in the right place so here goes, I am trying to trace the history of a blue 4 door 1956 splitscreen moggy with the reg' of UOD 541 , if anybody has any information so that I can add to the history I would be much obliged.
cheers mungo
