Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks Phil.

Hi geoberni, many thanks for your information, and as for 'trivia' and small details I look at that a great deal especially with regard to my local council, and that is another story.

As a recent member I have also voted 'Yes'. I want the motorway hard shoulder reinstated as quickly as possible. Who ever dreamt up this policy, they need their heads examined. Once apon a time we may have challenged this lunacy, by using the Health and Safety at work etc act 1972. Unfortunately th...

Hi Phil, my car has a standard coil fitted, so I'll set the plugs to 25 thou.

Thanks Jonnie.

Ok, Many thanks.

Ok, Noted and many thanks.

I currently have a Lumeniton negative earth electronic ignition system fitted to my traveller. 1098 cc engine.

I’m using Champion N9YC plugs. Can anyone please advise on the spark plug gap? Any information gratefully received. Thanks.

Hi Richard, many thanks.

I meant Declan, Apologies.

Mike, Phil and Delaney, thanks to you all for your knowledge and experience.

Apologies for my late reply.
Cheers. all Jonnie.

Hi Mike, thanks for that.

Hello all. I have a morris traveller with the 5 speed gearbox conversion. Daft question, but where is the oil filler plug? ive been laying under the car in my garage on the off side. I can't see it. Also should i top the box up with EP80/90? Any help gratefully received, and all the best to everyone...

Hi Phil, thanks for the advice, i've never owned a car with this type of conversion so i thought better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks again, regards Jonnie.

Hi Mike, ive taken the rotor arm off, and there doesn't seem to be a pad there. I thought it better to seek advice rather than chuck oil everywhere. The motor is running very well too.

Thanks for posting. Kind regards Jonnie.

Hi everyone, may i please ask for a little advice with regard to the Lumeniton Negative earth electronic ignition system fitted to my traveller. Should i lubricate with a couple of drops of oil, the mechanical advance/retard weights in the base of the distributor? On my old Ford 103e 10 hp, i used t...

Hi, all the best for Christmas to everyone, and all the best for the new year.

Hi Sid, the sidevalves were great fun, but i thought its time for a change. I certainly won't worry about the rain now.

Cheers, Jonnie.

Welcome Jonnie, depending on where you are in Essex, the main Essex Branch has events in various places, their next is in Danbury on the last Sunday of January; and there is also a branch in the Saffron Walden area. I'm sure that both would welcome meeting you. Hi simmitc, thanks for the welcome. I...

Vacuum wipers weren’t invented by Ford but by Trico in the US. They were in fairly common use through the twenties and thirties. Ford kept them longer than most, presumably for cheapness, but then the Pop had many features which were completely archaic by the time they stopped making them in 1959. ...
