Morris Minor Owners Club

Due to some recent facebook posts about Carbs flooding after fitting a Hardi Pump, I thought I'd look at some Specifications. Retailers are always plugging the Hardi as a 'like-for-like replacement, but I wondered what the evidence was. Did the facts support that??? SU Electric Fuel Pump Max Pressur...

I have no rear light/indicators, Rear lights are on the small inline fuse, as are the Panel Lights in the Speedo, are they working? Indicators are fused. the wipers have packed in, the indicator stalk doesn't flash or operate and the warning lights in the speedo don't work. That's all pretty much o...

Not really relevant to the question about what to recommend now, but I used to have one of these that I brought in the USA around 2008/9. Unfortunately It's defunct now after some battery leakage. I still have 2 remaining sections that work, just serving as separate torches. They no longer make it, ...

I GOT ONE OF THOSE!!!! Can you tell, Mick, about the LED conversion and where to get it? Regards from MikeN. Nothing special, Fleabay has plenty of places offering LED replacement lamps to fit torches. Just look up the type you need, typically E10 for screw in lamp and the ones with no thread, but ...

I remembered this coming up before, sort of... https://board.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=73913 The early one is the range you've been quoted. I seem to recall reading somewhere that the later style Smiths Sender is 240 Ohms empty and 20 Ohms full, in the opposite sense to the early ones. Holden for ...

There's some good answers here already. I'm of the opinion that some of your assumptions are flawed; for example your observations about differences the oil recommendations between the AKD530 issue 2 and Issue 14, probably some 20+ years apart are easily explained. When the Minor first arrived in 19...

Well quite simply, it depends what battery you have or intend having. A while back I posted the common battery configurations for a Minor, but it will depend whether you're intending to get a 'period' battery. If you're intent on having a wooden tray as per original, perhaps you're intending have th...

The pipework simply joins the two inlet connections and the two outlet connections from the two individual SU pumps. The " modern " connectors you've marked , would take the " supply" from the fuel tank and "deliver" to the carburettors. Bob No it doesn't. The pumps ar...

It's a pity there's not in better focus, can't make out much of anything... Starter for all Minor as far as I'm aware is a Lucas M35G, but the M35J is essentially the same Starter, just a change of end plate design as far as I'm aware. I think the J was standard in 1275cc engines such cars as MGs. D...

You might find this discussion from 2013 informative: https://board.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=50506 That's a good read, thanks. I wonder if sticking with the original 948 diff would be a bad thing to do. Don't ask me that one. I brought my car (SII) believing it to be fitted with a 948, the 803 g...

As a valued customer, we are excited to offer you discounted fuel through the Esso Card with WEX. Sign ...

I've got a Stick Welder which I've used to do simple jobs like replace broken brackets on Exhausts, or fix gaps on Silencers. The cost of the machine has been recovered just by those simple jobs which don't requite any particular skill. A rear box for my Ford Kuga is around £180+. I brought a £99 We...

The OP stated "I have fitted a new wiper new wiper motor wheelboxes and wire. and wire.". If it really is a new motor then it shouldn't be full of hardened grease. It sounds like a major refurbishment of the system, which means disassembly and reassembly of all components, so there is a r...

Just had the debit appear on my credit card and the discount was only 4p/l not 5p/l. Before I raised it with Fuelpecker I thought I would check the current discounts and sure enough they have reduced: That's changed in the past few weeks, because I checked it when I first contacted them about the C...

Just spotted a job lot of SU fuel Pumps for sale on ebay.
This arrangement caught my eye . Any thoughts on what they were tying to achieve?

I've drawn the circuit arrows on. . Supply from where??
.

It could potentially be in a museum somewhere or private collection as a remote chance - I was watching an old (90's) TV program the other day, it had a vintage 1920/30's Bentley sports car on it - DVLA have no record of the plate on it, but I find it very hard to believe it got scrapped :D (not sa...

Sounds to me like the motor is struggling.
Either as Stephen suggests, the Motor & Gearbox needs a good overhaul, or you've not assembled it all correctly and something is a bit stiff/binding.

Don't expect anything from this. As you've probably seen, using the DVLA Vehicle Check site, it's been un-taxed since 1/3/2005, but with a last V5C issued 2007, so it's been 'off the books' for 17 years. Almost certainly scrapped many years ago, before they tightened up on scrap yards not doing the ...

I've got one of these: https://www.screwfix.com/p/nebo-inspector-500-rechargeable-led-light-graphite-250lm/830jp It's a rechargeable, but the same manufacturer have a range of LED lamps starting from £10. This one for example scores 4.8/5, from 170+ reviews: https://www.screwfix.com/p/nebo-lil-larry...
