Sorry for the confusion! The bulb on the circuit tester lights up confirming a current is going through it. However there is no movement on the needle. That depends where you placed the Circuit tester. In fact, I can't think of a way a Circuit tester will tell you that is OK, and be lit up (if it's...

Me again, looking for some advice on this listing: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1401746500318098?hoisted=false&ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A84b39f1a-35ea-4d20-842c-b4e5a3ea657d Seller says it's 1956, and as far as I know ...

It should be possible for Mike/Simon to add it to the User profile if they wish.

Just lazy, inept, reporting by The Mirror and, the day before that, The Sun. The rest of the world had the story well over a year ago. It's laughable that if you use the link The Sun has on their page, over to Surry Live where they lifted the story from, it's the 2021 version. Likewise, the Mirror c...

Do you have a licence for your dog? No. Lots of bitter and angry old men on this forum. What? Lots of people concerned at the general breakdown of society where rules are ignored and other citizens are placed at risk of harm because of it. The world is advancing at great pace and all too often peop...

What possessed the MMOC to screw things up so badly???? As a Member, but nothing to do with MMOC organisation structure nor this message board, I thought I'd reply to your post. It is apparent that in the past, the MMOC has been badly let down by service providers in hosting this site. Sometimes th...

I know they don't have complete records as some were lost in a fire decades ago, if I recall correctly, but you can give them a call first.

You've got the edge over me there Phil
I think the last time I remember external Cell Connections was the 70s on some MOD equipment & vehicles, which would probably have been 60s or 50s equipment.

I'm guessing you took the photo left handed... Phones seem by default to think 'top' of a landscape image is with the top of the phone to the left when taking it. We all have our personal choices with our cars; I wouldn't have a battery with external Cell Connections. Too much risk of accidentally s...

There was a discussion on the health risks of lead on another thread. Somebody said I’m sure he’s not going to eat his battery connectors. Of course not but it’s very likely this type of connector will need cleaning up with Emery paper back to bright metal quite often and important to wash hands an...

So most of us know that considerable numbers of Minor were exported as CKD, or Complete Knock Down, all packed into a crate for local reassembly, often with some local components, perhaps just nuts & bolts, but potentially things such as tyres etc. What I hadn't thought of was the space saving a...

I'm with svenedin on this. There's a reason manufacturer's stopped using those battery connectors. They don't give a particularly good contact unless well maintained and every time you put the screw in/out, to check it's clean inside, you're wearing the thread on the terminal post; ultimately requir...

Is the car Pos or Neg earth? Can you read the number on the Distributor? Chances are it's just a regular Dissy with the after-market unit fitted to it. Looking at the height of the Unit, I suspect it might be a Powerspark I note their Pos and Neg versions have different colour cables... The body isn...

I suggest your view of what is happening in Europe isn't correct.
Every country is different and several have laws banning e-scooters from pedestrian areas or significantly limiting their speed.

I don’t see what the problem is. How is it different from a mobility scooter which take up much more room and usually piloted by the less able-bodied. Or riding a bike. Well... Mobility 4 wheel vehicles are ‘invalid carriages’, Class 2 for pavement use are limited to 4mph, Class 3 for road use are ...

I'm thinking the longer hose is for the earlier rads where the heater hose connects to an outlet on the bottom corner of the rad and runs along the engine bay floor, before running up and into the bulkhead. I've just had a look at my copy of the AKD 3542 and there's a lot of different car numbers, ...

There are no instructions for fitting seat belts for use by the rear seat occupants in BMC/BL wksp man Pt No: AKD530, not even the 14th edition which was the last edition of AKD530. So, purchasing a copy of AKD530 14th edition (or any other edition) will be of no help. Woops You're right of course,...

Hello, I've just bought a 1961 four door and I'm looking at fitting rear seatbelts. Looks like this has been discussed many times before! Sorry to dredge this thread back up again as it's almost as old as my car, but I can't access the pictures. Would anyone be able to share the pictures from the o...

I have always thought as even now virtually no OEM's use DOT 5 there must be a reason, I stick to dot4 and flush a litre through every couple of years. Yes, not relevant to the use in Minors, but from this article it would appear that the reason for not using it in modern cars is it's unsuitable fo...

An interesting article here: https://cartreatments.com/dot-5-brake-fluid/ Here's the salient points, just in case someone reads this in a few years and the article has gone: Unlike other brake fluids, which are glycol-based, DOT 5 is silicone-based. The most prominent impact of this is that the sili...
