Re: Boot lock/latch
It should turn the same amount as the door key, 180 deg one direction to lock, 180 the other way to unlock. Vertical to Vertical. You could just try a squirt of WD40, or take it out and give it a good clean. You might find that one of the little pins is stuck. If you don't know what I mean by 'littl...

Re: Download Minor matters?
Not that I've seen. There seems to be a terminology discrepancy. Personally, I wouldn't call using an Online Viewer a 'Download'. However, I suspect it is done that way to prevent pdf copies being circulated. It is after all part of MMOC membership, unlike this Message Board which is open to anyone....

Re: Battery running down...
Battery certainly seems OK. It might be the Regulator, but before testing that, which can get a little fiddly, I'd take a look at the dynamo brushes, probably a good change they have worn away.

Re: Battery running down...
I would not rely on the little Red Light alone, if the symptoms are indicating otherwise. The lamp is telling you that the Dynamo is outputting the right voltage. Basically when the voltage output of the generator is lower than the voltage of the battery, the light will be on. The current path is fr...

Re: Experimental style
At the bottom of every page they offer some information that is composed of Dark Grey on Black! Displays as light grey text on a dark grey background for me, so very easy to read, just shows how a website designed on one monitor can look completely different on others. Here's a screen snip.

Re: Experimental style
So because Mike put the well known (to some people here at least) photo of the Stripy Bonnet Stockport Constabulary Minors on the facebook Group this morning, I went to the Greater Manchester Police Museum website to see what they offered for research.

Re: Rain Issue
It'd be good to see some engine bay photos in case the Coil is mounted somewhere strange for example.
But I agree with Grumpy21, a fine mist is required, not a drenching.

Re: Board Features
Well I managed it.
Use a online programme (eg http://www.simpleimageresizer.com) to reduce the KB, then use a photo editor to reduce the Pixel size.
Doing it the opposite way around doesn't work.

Re: Green/ brown wire near dynamo
Quite honestly, if it goes 'Click' my first thoughts are always the battery as the likely culprit. Your description of I charged the battery up fully overnight but it lost charge quickly. doesn't really make sense to me, electrically. What do you mean by 'lost charge quickly'? Did it start the car o...

Personally, those alternating backgrounds are far too bright and stripy. I think they would also be a problem for anyone viewing the site, perhaps potential members of the site just come for a browse, who have certain disabilities.

Even though we are car tax free in theory if you do not go through the tax your car motions you could be fined or warned That's because people bandy around the term 'Tax Free'.

Re: Taxing
I appreciate the minor is tax exempt, No it's not a blanket exemption, in fact it's not any exemption. There is a Historic Class for which the Fee is £0, but you still have to re-tax it every year. Rules are easy enough to find. https://www.gov.uk/historic-vehicles/vehicles-exempt-from-vehicle-tax ...

it's also at the moment, not been set up consistently as it's not available here in this Forum at all, but is available on a earlier post I made in General Discussion.
I'll report it to Simon.

Re: Windscreen Washers - What year?
You are better off putting the jets on the scuttle as they were on the factory fitted cars, out of the way. A screen washer was an optional extra for many years, and several types were available. I have a Lucas Electric Screenjet and a Trico vacuum washer but the manual plunger on my 1000 is simple...

Re: Historic status, MOT and Tax ?
The first week part does catch a lot of vehicles, many dealers used to hold off registering vehicles until early January so they could say it was a year newer, my Range Rover is a oct 86 build but was registered on the 3rd January 87. How do you tell? I've brought 5 (perhaps 6) brand new cars over ...
