Morris Minor Owners Club

Need a replacement for my 2 Dr saloon and ordered what I believed to be the correct one as described from ESM. Only it has comes with only one catch and not two so the door sticks out and does not sit flush with the body now. I ordered part DCH102 so could they simply have sent me the wrong part for...

Cheers guys, will pass your comments onto my mechanic. Yes I know shame on you MM for not doing it yourself . Why own such a car if you give it to someone else but honestly left to me she would be scrap in no time. just give me a year or 10 to get the hang of all this

Hmm, my car does have them on a stalk but was expressly pointed out to me that they were not self cancelling when I got the car. My car was first registered in 1968 so I wonder....

Being so new to owning a Minor and in fact new to owning a classic car I am having trouble in remembering to cancel the indicators. Are there any upgrades/modifications that anyone knows about that will give me self cancelling indicators? Please help because I am annoying my fellow South London driv...

I am used to modern cars so this will probably seem a very blonde question.

Is it normal for an old car to have a permanent oil leak? I am assuming not as gaskets should contain the engine oil within the block...

Well been a Minor owner for less than a week now and been out and about in her as much as I can, Zafira is parked up unused right now! One thing I have noticed is the amount of people that look as I drive past. Mostly people of my parents generation being around late 60's early 70's, so I guess a bi...

Hi Tom

I'm a relative newbie to Minors and the forums too but welcome.

Lots of wonderful helpful people here.

Hi Mick

That number plate looks familiar, Was recently looking for a Tourer myself so I msut have seen it for sale too.

Very envious btw...

I have water in the boot and cannot fathom where it might be coming from. Do minors have a typical area for this?

Any help and suggestions welcome

Hmmm, this is interesting. Maybe because I have jumped out of my Vauxhall and into this that they feel so non existant. I appreciate 40 plus years ago brakes were very different, but she feel like hse just wont stop.

What about disc brakes, would that help and is it possible?

Have literally just got my Minor 1000 and only driven her in the wet, yikes the brakes don't exist!

Is it a huge job to fit a servo to the brakes or what can be done to vastly improve them.

They were designed before the days of motorways and cannot really cope with prolonged bouts of 70mph much happier at 55-60mph. A good condition 1098 will... Though I prefer to cruise at about 60 unless I'm in a hurry because it's more comfortable and you get better fuel economy. I am not a speed fr...

Due to get my hands on my first Minor next week as per my thread in General Discussions... Now I need some help and tips. Are there any knacks in driving a 1098cc engine and the driving of the car in general. I now there is a main beam on the floor, do you need to have headlights/sidelights on first...

No pics yet, should have her by middle of next week and then I have to sort a few jobs on her first before a spit and polish and pics.

Thanks guys for your comments. managed to scrounge a half day at work and popped off to see the car. £1750 later, she's mine. I am told the towbar never towed anything... and they have given me a month or 1000 miles warranty for what they are worth, lol! He is going to give me a 12 month MOT and get...

Many thanks gents for this info.

What valuation would you put on the car. Is 2K lots more than it is worth?

Cheers

Still looking for that elusive Moggy Minor and have found this today on Autotrader. It's the Silver car at the dealer Dalton & Blaber priced at 2K http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/MORRIS+MINOR/Ne-2-4-5-6-7-8-27-44-49-53-61-64-67-103-133-146,N-4294963255-4294963256/search.action?&...

Hi Dave, It was more the being female bit than the age! Really enjoying the site and love the magazine. Not as yet an owner but not for want of trying. Just cannot find the right Tourer for me just yet. the ones I have been to view have all been described as solid cars yet when I turn up are riddled...

Thanks Orkney, this car is a genuine tourer then, many thanks.
