I think Chris has spent too much time thinking about this problem or he's experienced it 3 times !!! :lol: These misfire problems can take forever to trace but are nearly always something simple. Of course, it's only the intermittent ones that are difficult. When it stops altogether, it's easy to fi...

Normally the spring doesn't break but simply comes out of its location. the 'leg' of the spring fits into a groove which then is peened over to hold the 'leg' in place. In my experience it is a case of removing the handle, cleaning out this groove of 40 years of dust/grime, levering and pushing the ...

Keith, I had been putting off repairing my floppy O/S/R door handle for ages now but your question has prompted me into action. It doesn't matter if the latch is locked or unlocked as the 'hook' is operated directly by the handle. Remove door trim Remove door handle escutcheon (chrome finisher) Remo...

You can swap the extension housing from an 803cc gearbox onto a 948cc gearbox. The only difference being that you won't need to lift the gear lever to select reverse. If you fit the 803 reverse gear selector rod to the 948 box, then you will have the original reverse gear operation (lifting gear lev...

DJ This might indicate a very bad earth problem at the headlights. I can only think that the high beam warning light has some sort of backfeed for it to light all the time as this earths seperatly at the speedo. Are the headlights not working at all or is there some sort of glow ? It might be worth ...

Clutch drag: Do 1098 cars still use the carbon thrust bearing as in early cars ? The engine will slow slightly due to this design but not enough to stall. Is the clutch over adjusted ? Too much travel can also cause the clutch to bind resulting in the engine slowing. You can check the thrust washers...

We don't usually need this fix down here as it hardly ever rains. I can't even remember the last time I used my wipers. The problem we have here is the wiper blade sticking itself to the glass from lack of use. :o It doesn't sound like a wear issue if it happens even when stationary. Normally if the...

The problem might also be related to where the pump is mounted. The original Minor pump is designed as a 'pulling' pump: to pull fuel up from the fuel tank. Although I'm not familiar with the Metro pump location, I assume it's in the same spot as a Mini which would make it a 'pushing' pump: pushing ...

Which plastic insert? If you mean the one the distributor cam operates, then this is probably due to lack of lubrication. A small amount of grease should be smeared on the cam to lubricate this plastic piece. If you mean the insulating collar for the points spring, then the only reason I can think o...
