Re: blimey!
too good to use on the road, that puts it in the same category as my bare shell in the garage, neither will be on the road this year and I've saved over £20k into the bargain. You have to wonder who will buy it at that price, will an investor buy it to make money? doubtful as it is at the top of its...

Re: Registration and Tax question
register the vehicle in your name and place it on SORN, the registration will stay with the vehicle and the DVLA will simply update their records to show a new keeper. If you have the old V5 you could try changing the registered keeper online, it may work but if it doesn't then send the log book off...

Re: Brake bleed order?
With the rear raised the pressure forces the air to the highest point so it's easier to bleed usually left overnight.

Re: Brake bleed order?
Yes indeed I forgot to mention raising the rear of the vehicle.
It forces the air to the rear where it can be bled slowly.
Leaving the brake pedal depressed keeps some pressure in the system.

Re: Brake bleed order?
Start at the rear, the rear wheel cylinders are a bit of a strange design and allow pockets of air to sit in the cylinders. I have bled my minor as follows and it worked for me: Bleed the brakes as you would normally, starting at the rear finishing at the front, Then I sat the car overnight with the...

Re: Server Errors?
It is frustrating, I sat down with a cuppa to catch up only to find the site down for a couple of days.
I believe "some" club websites are run by volunteers, is this one the same? i.e. run on a voluntary basis?

Re: Sorry to disappoint!
It certainly looks like a well used instrument, that has played a few tunes in its time.
I have a few ukuleles in my colection which I enjoy strumming and attempting to string a song together.
Great fun.

Re: What do you make of this?
Well the manager of the garden centre says the pick up is for sale. So I'm very tempted to buy it and get it back on the road looking like a pick up again. I'm going back tomorrow to examine the chassis and what remains of the cab. How much to offer is another thing. Pick ups command big money but a...

Re: Carolla Rollover or Mr Grumpy's Jig
I can add to the above, I bought a roll over jig but quickly realised how poor my chassis legs were so had to resort to welding it whilst upright, my jig is sat unused in the garage.
I'm now working on a rotisserie utilising a scaffold tube so I can turn the car over.

What do you make of this?
Found in my local Garden centre
It appears to be a genuine pick up judging by the seperate chassis and cab rear but has obviously been modified slightly.
I have made enquiries to ascertain if it is for sale but up to now I have not had much luck, I may try again this afternoon.

Re: Lurking in the background FL? 782C
you're right its not an 8, I was trying to zoom in but only got so far before I was unable to read it.
Yes now I can see the rear a little clearer it has been butchered somewhat.
Shame to see it rusting away though.

Lurking in the background FL? 782C
Whilst looking at V8 powered Mercedes I came across this image showing a 1965 Morris Minor lurking in the undergrowth. I see the registration as FLN 782C but there is no trace of that number, FLM 782C is shown as a white Minor. I wonder of the owner of FLM 782C is a member?

Re: 1098 Gearbox Rebuild
The reverse idler shaft I fitted to my 1275 gearbox was a nice snug fit, I was able to slide it in with finger pressure once oiled, it came out the same way. I take it the marks on the shaft in the picture are caused by the removal process? On a side note I didn't have to use a hammer on any of the ...
