Morris Minor Owners Club

Well i thought i would update you all as i found quite a bit wrong today. I said earlier that there was no play in the pedals, this was correct when i tried moving them. Then i removed the floor panel, the yoke for the brake pedal to M/C was bent, just shy of 90 degrees. When i removed the pin and s...

I can strip it and have a look once its out. I fitted this M/C about 10 years ago and all has been fine until now. Something is stopping the fluid returning

It does, or shall i say did. It is now solid at 1/2 way down, but the pedal goes down to the floor when a bleed nipple is loosened off. I got them working fine yesterday, took it around the block, got it back on the drive and bang the front drivers side jammed on. I got the adjusters all the way off...

100% the shoes and springs are fitted correctly, going to fit a new M/C tomorrow. Hopefully it will cure it.

I recently fitted a new rear axle, along with this i fitted new copper brake pipes, new drums, wheel cylinders, brake shoes, handbrake cables and flexy hose. Everything has been ok up to last week when i had to do an emergency stop. Some idiot decided to pull ou on me, anyway shortly after i had a n...

O k so an update on this problem. I do have a crack in the axle case around the nearside spring seat due to corrosion, although it is very small at the moment. There is a fair amount of oil on the underside of the body, but none on the floor where its parked and the diff was 1/2 full of oil when i c...

That's what i am going to do, i'll stick with the standard diff.
Thank you all for your input and advice.

Yes that would be a bit of a pain. I will go with the standard axle. Just got to confirm that it is the diff that's gone, I did look in the dark but it seems to have loads of play. I will get it up on stands in the morning.
Thank you all for your help, i really appreciate it.

Yes the axle casing has cracked by the u bolt for the spring. It dumped the oil on my way home from work, i didn't know as it was ok when i started home, ( no oil visibly on the works car park). Almost home it went with a bang and is now knocking really bad. I have had a quick look underneath and th...

Thanks for the quick reply
Is the axle casing a straight swap as mine is scrap.
Thanks

The rear axle in my 1971 traveller has cracked the casing and blown the diff. I have the option of a guaranteed used standard one from a 1969 saloon. ( which i think is a straight swap with the traveller). Or a rebuilt 4,5 axle and diff. Its had a pin welded on for a pan hard rod ( that isn't needed...

My son had an accident in ours. We had to have it inspected by an assessor, but MOT was never raised as an issue

This is normal practice, my daughter works for the AA. If you call them out for an RTA, they will charge you. Even if you have a policy, this is because it isn't a break down. You have to notify your insurance and they will call whatever recovery service they use to recover it for free. RAC is exact...

I have decided to MOT every other year, when I taxed it online this year I still had to fill out a declaration form. It then said that the form has to be filled in every time the car is taxed.

Just a quick post to thank you for adding me. I own, or did own as my son has claimed it a morris traveller. It was restored a few years ago now and was re sprayed at the beginning of this year.
