Morris Minor Owners Club

I was just thinking, do people have to do an iva when they convert a saloon to a convertible, it appears not.

When one collected your brand spanking new minor from the showroom, what was the original equipment? Handle and wheel brace, but was that in a leather/vinyl bag or just loose in the boot? What did you get in way of keys? I would assume 2 keys so you have a spare, but did you get a fob with it? What ...

I’ll open the switch tomorrow and have a good look and a clean out.
Having looked at replacements, it seems financially worth my while to repair it.

Well it appears that it’s the switch that’s gone and not the motor. Looking at the switch, it’s virtually black inside and full of fluff. I tested it with a bulb and battery and it smelt hot to say the least. So in the bin with that one. Anyone know what the type of switch is and from where I can so...

Pm sent Declan

I thought they originally had doors/flap etc at the front, but they must of changed from that before they made ours

I just seen the prices of a replacement motor for the heater
I’ll google how to test and repair a motor

Do I have the right style of glove box in my minor. Made in April 1963, so just at the point of change over so I’m not sure.
Any ideas?

ill see if the club spares dept has one kicking about.

As odd as it sound, but how do i get in contact with them?
Im a club member and i have set up a members only account via the website, i am just waiting for it to be activated.

IVA requirments?

Thankfully the whole thing is in the planning stages, so i am still researching it and all help and directions are much appreciated

As a note, why are the heater taps so expensive? New they are £30 and just for an old tap body, it’s £18.
All I want in an old one

i was going to go for this style

Right oh, I’ll start searching for the reason for the flat battery.
I’m hunting for a tap to replace the knackered valve.

Well I think it’s safe to say that my heater motor is totally US. Whilst in the car on Friday I think I left the motor on (but not moving) as on Sunday when I meant to take the thing to Stratford, the battery was totally dead, so I’ll switch the thing off all together. My heater does have what appea...

I am thinking of converting my standard minor 1000 to a roadster. I’ve seen a few pictures and it looks really good to me. Plus there are not many around and it will be a good challenge for me. From a technical point of view, I would assume that using the strengthening panels from a convertible conv...

Thanks, I’ll repost this in the custom and modified page.

Morning, I am thinking of converting my standard minor 1000 to a roadster. I’ve seen a few pictures and it looks really good to me. Plus there are not many around and it will be a good challenge for me. From a technical point of view, I would assume that using the strengthening panels from a convert...

Well thank you for replies, it makes more sense now. When the motor is running, does it make a sound? Having had a fiddle, I cannot tell if it’s on or not as there is no sound. As to the valve, I’ve got the cable operated version but the entire cable, knob and bracket are totally missing, so I am go...

Having never come across one of these before and there is one in my new minor, how does it work? Does it have a motor in it? What’s the knob on the front do?

All basic questions but as I say, I haven’t had one before and I’m without the drivers handbook to aid me.

I do suspect the wings have been changed at some point, so looking at it logically it would make sense to change over to a the newer light.
