Morris Minor Owners Club

Joking aside.... My wife's Minor had sat for 2 years without been started and although the pump ran (after a hard tap) it didn't run sufficiently enough to maintain the fuel level in the bowl. It would run for a mile or so then die and I had to get out, smack the pump and drive off again. Recon pump...

Basically it seals the gap between block and head and stops your water and oil mixing together.....

"I am going to check the contacts and maybe give it a light tap and see what happens."

In my experiance it needs a "heavy" tap

Welcome aboard !

Sorry, my fault - Typo ;-)

You assume correct - someone I guess has forced it in the past and damage the locking mech - Like your bodge though - will try it, Thanks

Everyone will probably have there own opinions on this but I just changed my M/C and left everything else as it was. I work on the old adage that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" There isn't anything else you can change thats made easier by having the M/C out so just go for the cheapest o...

I have to use the reliable old clothes peg method of retaining the choke control in the "on" position for the short time its required on cold mornings. Does anyone know a bodge, er, I mean fix, for this without changing the cable. Not sure if I can still get the correct cable/knob arrangem...

Indeed.... Runs fine though..... Apart from the knocking big ends

Good luck - and I thought mine was bad

Cool - I'll PM him...

Hmmmm, so I have the wrong one then... Pants again

Are we just talking modified engines here or does the sealed cap apply to standard 948/1098 engines also?

I bought a vented cap for mine from Halfords for about £2.50

Hi Rich
Not sure what bit you mean - I have a couple of spare quarter lights lying around. Post a pic of the part and I'll let you know if I have it... Rich

I've got a thin strip of steel rivetted to the top right of the bulkhead, just beneath the rubber strip which reads "Z33824 424828"
Does anyone know what these numbers relate to?

I like the look of the Minators but I think they are out of my price range. Also, as my car sits outside all the time I am worried that alloys might corrode quickly over the Winter? Would be nice to find a stylish set of steels that would look a bit different - but I guess I'm looking for the imposs...

Oh Pants!!!
So, whats the alternative to minilites?

Will 14" MGB GT wheels fit my Mog? I've always like the Rostyle wheel and fancy fitting some....!!!

I remember hearing that a while back - anyone know the science behind it?
