Morris Minor Owners Club

Really good video. Found some interesting videos of where I live too. Thanks for pointing that site out!

Just changed the bypass hose this afternoon and it appears to have stopped the leak. What an annoying little part it is!

When I was 18 I insured with Footman James, the first year was £600, went down to £400 on the second year, then on the third year they wanted £700! I took out my policy with Lancaster at 21, fully comp for £200. Adrian Flux insure young drivers, but I found them to be a bit more pricey though. Some ...

Did you hear about the cargo plane carrying Datsun parts? The hold came open and it started raining Datsun cogs! A police officer pulls a man over for speeding and has the following exchange: Officer: May I see your driver's license? Driver: I don't have one. Officer: May I see the registration for ...

I can recommend Lancaster Insurance, they were 3 times cheaper than Footman James for me.

Ok, I'll do some investigating. I had a look on ESM at the water pump and they suggest replacing the thermostat at the same time, is this really necessary?

Ok, I will have a look at that. The leak only appears when the engine is up to temperature and the water is flowing round the system.

Thanks

Hello

I don't currently (no pun intended) own a multi-meter so have been unable to do any checks regarding charging etc. I ha...

I think most of us have one of these. The ones I've come across cover all variants of the Minor.

Here's a slighty better view of us, also from the Telegraph. Probably been posted on the messageboard before though.

i believe it is technically illeagal (or frowned upon) for flashing lights though, as it can be misleading as to why you are flashing. I was flicking through the Highway Code the other day, it states: "110 Flashing headlights. Only flash your headlights to let other road users know that you ar...

I agree with that too. In the latest issue of Practical Classics it describes the Moggie as sluggish, I think they can be quite nippy. Speaking of the Vauxhall Corsa... think how many young people have learnt to drive in these and had one as a first car, I think in the future there will be some affe...

I sometimes wear a flat cap and some leather, string backed driving gloves. I believe the Minor was designed to accomodate a driver wearing a hat, hence the high sides.

Glad your dad is ok. Wonder what it would look like if you just chopped the roof off... a convertible Traveller...

Did anyone else hear that he did the last four races with a broken shoulder?
