Clutch question
I've a 1958 Morris Minor 1000 and I've snapped the metal rod under the car that joins the clutch pedal to the actual clutch twice in as many years - is this a common problem? My boyfriend's fixed it and is making me a spare rod to carry around, but is there any way to alleviate this problem? It's a ...

Carburettor identification
Hi Everyone! On the Technical Tips page it says that a cause of power stuttering under acceleration can be caused by a lack of oil in the damper under a black cap on the carby. My 1958 Minor 1000's having that problem, and I've had a squiz at the carby and the manual, but can't identify a black cap....

Battery or regulator problem?
Hi All! I'd really appreciate some help if you could. I have a 1958 Minor 1000 who's starting to die on me. She has been refusing to start for a while now, and so I've been starting her with a portable jumpstarter for a week or so. At the beginning the battery would charge up after a drive and be su...

Weird clanking noise...
Hi All! I was wondering if anyone can help me... I've got a 1958 Morris 1000 and yesterday it started making the most god-awful noise, a rhythmic metallic clanking emanating from just under the front seats. It is rhythmic, but not evenly spaced, if that makes sense, more of a pattern to the noise ra...

Strange brake problem....
Hi Everyone! Hope all are well. I was hoping to ask some advice if I may…. I have a fairly stock-standard 1958 Morris 1000 that’s recently developed some fairly scary brake issues. When pressing the peddle, the car pulls pretty strongly to the right, to the point where yesterday the front right tyre...
