Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks for the reply - I've been avoiding opening them since I don't know when they'd get fitted (though I do need a front wheel bearing replaced on my car). So there's no confusion, I realise now that it looks like I've got dozens of packets as I accidentally duplicated some in the image :oops: so:...

Can't wait to see your car come Halloween

Actually I keep meaning to get some RLD4 to trace a PAS leak on my other car, but since it may end up at the garage I might let them have the fun since they'll likely have to do whichever pipe is leaking anyway

Screenshot_20240329_161135.png As you can see it was under 5mb, in fact I kept reducing it in size first from 5, then 4.7, 4.5 and finally 4.4 which still gave the error (I even tried going out of edit post mode and then going back in just in case there was a weird cache issue), so I gave up and at...

These were again spares that came with my Mothers' Minor. I think they're front wheel bearings but wanted to check if 1) they were 2) if they're complete kits and most importantly 3) were still usable. As you can see they're still fully sealed in their packages which makes viewing them difficult ,bu...

Oooh - that stuff looks great and might be just what I was looking for myself (non-Minor related, leaking caravan).

Yup it's visible now and I can confirm that's the bulkhead/bonnet rubber I linked to previously. :) Also now that we have a view of your winscreen, you require the Pre-Dec '66 front window rubber (the one that does not come with the chrome rubber strip) from my previous post, as you have the twin me...

The photo is a little dark :wink: I presume you mean the one that goes the width of the bulkhead in an arc that the bonnet rests on at the windscreen end of the front, in which case: https://www.morrisminorspares.com/body-inc-panels-trim-c21/bonnet-fittings-c22/rubber-seal-for-bulkhead-fits-under-bo...

Must be quite unusual to sign your cars (I presume) name onto a towbar, as an aside, you're quite lucky that came up, usually this is what we get:

Looks right, here's the one from ESM: https://www.morrisminorspares.com/engine-c14/ohv-engine-c16/oil-filter-element-paper-type-p830267 I'm presuming yours was sold as being suitable for the Minor/A-Series engine. Some people complain that changing this filter is messy but an oil change is messy any...

wing piping between wing and body is the wrong colour. or maybe not even there? (I wasn't sure if that's just empty space showing). It was sage green After 1962, the only green was Almond Green (Sage green was only from '56-'59). So it's likely originally Almond green with a porcelain green pinstri...

For Sale is an Early style bonnet flash, it is in as-new condition (purchased but never fitted so remained in the jiffy bag it's sitting on). Feel free to either PM me or reply to the thread.

On a pc/mac you can drag and drop images directly into this text area to add them. You can also (including mobile) add them by scrolling further down to the Options/Attachment tabs. The attachments tab also allows you to attach files via the 'Add files' button. Attached files (whether through drag '...

Yes that's the right (20w/50) grade.
Also with 10L you have enough for both the gearbox and engine oil to be done

I would love to be able to find what the original colour was when it was 1st made but I wouldn’t no where to start The areas I'd suggest to check: Under the dashboard (above where the bonnet release handle is located) Under the rear seat base (probably the easiest to check since you can just lift i...

Do Minor Pickups have interior lights, if so, does it work since that wouldn't require the ignition etc. and you'd know if there was any power getting anywhere at all. If there isn't any interior light, or it doesn't illuminate either then I would check all the fuses in case one or more of them has ...

Now when I try and start the car it revs uncontrollably high I had this once, scared the life out of me, turned out I'd snagged the accelerator cable (wasn't even working on it but had still somehow caught it) so it was stuck in a partially pulled position - just needed to be unhooked from whatever...

but worth phoning to ask when expected. Sadly the answer is likely never as the sole surviving manufacturer (Watling Engineering) of towbars for the Minor closed down in 2020 (a real shame as their after sales support was excellent). Charles Ware tended to get a few in regularly for purchase (and t...

It's had it I am afraid. It had a good run, it came with the car and the date on its' label is 2013 and I'd actually had it out of the car sometime last year (I think it was) to recharge. You'll need to replace the cooling system hoses I presume you mean the heater hose which for now I've cut the b...

On the later 1098cc this had changed to the other side of the engine. I take it then there was an early 1098 and a later 1098 since my 1098 has the return pipe manifold side as well and my car is only a few months older than my Mothers. I did wonder whether the kink had somehow caused some form of ...

Thanks
