Morris Minor Owners Club

I've already ordered an 'Intermotor' switch Neil, which, with shoebone's suggestion of a relay (also on its way), will hopefully resolve the issue but thanks anyway for the suggestion.

Many thanks Shoebone for that heads up. I've now dug out the two issues of Minor Matters that contain the article referred to and will crack on and order a suitable relay.

Thanks all for your helpful responses. Seems more straightforward than I'd feared. The brakes are still standard Minor fare with no additions. I like the tip about filling the switch with fluid first simmitc as, from a Rob Thomasson article a few years ago, it seems it's quite possible for an air bu...

There is a school of thought that says a car parked in the open air is less likely to rust than one garaged after every trip. Any moisture on the former is dried out by air movement and the sun's heat whereas a damp/wet car in a garage creates its own non-moving moisture-laden climate; ideal conditi...

Thanks Don & Phil for the comprehensive answers.

So the Everly Brothers are/were Morris Minor fans too, eh?
