Morris Minor Owners Club

Well the K & N ones if you can get hold of one these nowday's are of quite a short length and believe it or not with an as cast finish rather than a polished one like the traditional ones made by the tuning companies years ago and I don't suppose it makes any difference if its made from allumini...

Hmm I though banded wheels were no longer legal unless they were done professionally that meet current safety standards.

Squiggle are those the official dates as nothing is shown on the events calendar or the what's on section or even where it is apart from your link.

Sounds like you have convinced yourself Martin of the need for a 2 door saloon but with a 1275 engine and discs for the country tracks

Don't worry Ian I am a member of your club as well so you are not alone.

Our local Costco now only stocks later car batteries mainly for cars from 2000 onwards although their prices are unbeatable for quality batteries, what you need is somone who can quote the modern equivalent, as a matter of interest the standars battery for a Reliant Scimitar is the same as a heavy d...

This problem also seems to have started around the same time they started fitting an adjustable beam switch with the excuse it was so that laden cars could lower the beam but if you talk to some drivers they found it useful in the lanes on the higher position and left it there which only adds to the...

Copy the link's into here for the posts mentioned so then we can all check if anything of going astray.

Hi Taupe you are quite right as at our committee meeting last night I asked and was told the same thing and also that it should extend to cover the lhd pedal assembly holes as well.
Yes I would be more than interested in some of the 3m tape send me a pm

The first photo shows where the bichumin type of layer was and its definately not an underseal. The second shows some of it along with the rusty bits I have removed from inside the leg so far, the box is about 10"long and 5" wide, with the pile on the left being over an 1" deep. [fram...

I am just removing my pedals for overhaul and have noticed that my gearbox cover seems to have a bead of sealant near the edge I assume this is normal to stop water getting in but I cant work out exactly what it is, what should you use Dum Dum or something similar ? Also on starting to clean out the...

Looks a good paint job from here, but even more impressive is the size and contents of your garage

That's right.
If its a personal website and not advertising products it should be fine, an example is the one in my signature.

If the starter keeps sticking you need to take it out and check that the shaft is nice and clean and don't oil it when you put it back or it just picks up dirt and will cause the problem all over again.

quick suggestion, if you want to know all there is to know about identifying different a- series heads and haven't got a copy of Vizard's book i'd really recommend it. warning, you will end up wanting one of these though: http://www.revolutionwheels.de/Minispeed/image/16vkad.jpg Hmm unusal sump arr...

Thermal's will also help at this time of year, and I have one of those black rubber based sponge mats for laying on the floor, at our local autojumbles they are only £5 -£10 depending on size.

Not seen those before and nice to see a period accessory.

I always thought that sealed for life was a bit of a sales pitch and only meant that you were spared from greasing it and not that it would last longer, but that is just my opinion.
