Morris Minor Owners Club

Try 'bypass'

An excellent example of why you should not be wooed by shiny paintwork!

If you find one and you are not familiar with the city I could give you some idea if the area is likely to cause problems with security.

I had one of those on a tuned 1300 Polo that pushed out 90bhp so I would have to say it's much too big for a standard Morris engine.

I got a reply back yesterday. Sorry but nothing available.

Yes

The driveshaft joint.
It has replaceable bearings.

Anyone know where I could put one of those decals on a bicycle?
Perhaps i'll just wear my moggie t-shirt.

Sometimes standard is best

Aye. But that 1275 was such a sweet runner when I heard it in the previous owners car.

why didn't use fes up to this at the start For the simple reason that when first mentioned the incident some months ago I got nowhere in finding the problem. This time I thought I would describe it back to front, as it were. 8) It is only a possible cause still. I use the car infrequently and with ...

As for possible cause, I believe it has come about as a result of a slight mishap involving an un-removed spanner on a pully nut that rapidly came into rapid contact with bodywork when the starter was turned.
Does that make it any clearer?

Pressing the clutch puts some end load on the crank and that might be reducing the noise.

The noise of ...............?????

it sounds like your mainshaft/layshaft bearings could be the problem I do hope so. I have a couple of spare boxes but no spare modified 1275 ! :o If it was the prob you mentioned would you expect the noise to be significantly improved whilst in gear? I'm not aware of the noise at all whilst driving...

OK. So what do these temporary guages look like and where do i connect it?

Wahay! Clipper blue. Just like my Horace!

No pressure guage fitted but no illuminated oil light either.

Thought I'd pass on my experiences with a convertible and cover. I bought a £40 'breathable' cover from a motor factors and was quite impressed. With the windows down a inch it did keep close to dry inside and out but there was a lot of fine dust getting through to the hood so I slipped a plastic sh...

Thanks, but they are brand new. Had a good shufty now and found the exhaust is not the culprit. It's coming from deep in te bowels of the engine. it's very obvious on tickover and less pronounced as the revs rise. Depressing the clutch definitely reduces the noise. I'm thinking the worst. Whats the ...

If only it were that easy. Its a 3 into 1 system, oversized for the 1275 engine so it's pretty reluctant to be adjusted to suit.

When the engine is on tickover I hear an annoying knock. It seems to dissapear as the revs rise and I suspect it is the LCB manifold rattling against the bulkhead aperture. It's not easy to see that area as it is on the inner lip so can anyone suggest a temporary way of moving/tilting the engine tow...
