Morris Minor Owners Club

back to the old Empressagain this week folks?

hum, well it was a nice turn out last week but the white hart felt a bit posh given it seems more of a restaurant than a pub.

how about the new forest hotel at ashurst this week?

err I thought the gearbox steady cable is to stop unwated engein/gearbox movement and so reduce clutch judder clutch partial bite = engine moves a little thus clutch has less bite = engine relaxes back to position and the cycle repeats (especially in reverse). The cable damps much of that movement, ...

Don't forget folks,

This weeks meet is at the White Hart pub on the Cadnam Junction (just down the road from the empress)

the EU still have the free at 25 year rule, so if they tried to change the taxation class in any way here there ought to be a strong lobby to fall in line with the rest europe. Hopefully this means at worst they won't mess about with the current pre 73 rule.

AVG is fine, its kept relatively up to date in definitions and is not too system hungry like some of the commercial products. the biggest risk in computer security sits between the screen and the back of the chair..... i.e. uneducated users things to be very wary of: - email scams with misguided lin...

if you are at Ower that is 2 minutes from the empress! I'm happy to go for that this week, and remember folks we have the white heart on the 21st to hopefully join a car club or two there (just down the road from the empress). If we can finalise the Christmas booking ASAP that would be good. Antony ...

best anyone could do is make a guess. bore size does not really tell you much about BHP you need to know about the cam, timing, porting etc... in fact the only way to know is to get it on a rolling road at a guess 65-70'ish if its no more than a bore (standard 1275 is around 57-60bhp depending on bl...

dog sorted, sue is happy to dog sit so any pub will do, or we can stick with the lamb as suggested

cover zone are good but go for the better one they do, 100 quid sounds like a lot for a cover, but it money well spent in the long run. Agree that you MUST do up the straps, easiest way to do that is adjust it only on one side so that you got a long bit of slack on that one side, tie a few washer or...

where to this week folks? somewhere dog friendly might be good as I have my mums dog all this week. its early in the year I know but to get a reservation we had to enquire now..... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SADMOG CHRISTMAS MEAL Sunday 21st Decembe...

no, any air locks result in a soft pedal no matter where they are as they add compressible volume to the whole system. if there is air there now you have a failure somewhere? if all the wheel cylinders are good with nothing in the drums to indicate a leak then the flexi hoses are likely cause, they ...

pumping the pedal has to be air in the system

assume one of the wheel cylinders may have given in, or check the flexi hoses at the front or the single one at the rear.

any air in a system that was good would suggest a leak.

enjoy

drive down the average road near me with pot holes and speed bumps, or go on a boggy rally field, or even entrance ramps to car parks or drives and the minis greatest failing comes to light poor ground clearance at the best of times engine parts are all pretty much swapable (check mini suppliers whe...

the tab and centre pin are connected together if you have access to a meter measure the output (light green wire) and you should see 10v there. If that is ok then its a problem with the gauge or sender or you are actually overheating! earthing the sender wire should give you full scale hot reading, ...

I run one of each and to be honest in most cases the minor is actually a more practical car. The mini is great fun, but requires just as much TLC as the minor to keep going, you still have grease points and same engine to maintain but with less space to do it all in! There are also plenty of times w...

how to add a solid state regulator.... such as the one you have just bought: http://www.robjennings.plus.com/morris/regulator/solid_state_reg.html the regulator you have is fixed 10v nothing to set, just wire as in the page link above. then wire the gauge to light green wire output (colour used to m...

A very plesant evening last night, sat out for the first drink as the sun set. I know it is totally against tradition and possibly even the spirit of SADMOG.... but can I suggest a few pubs in advance. I've checked the SADMOG email address and there are a few people expressing interest in coming alo...

rob,

no not one of us although we did have a couple of ladies join us one evening, they even threatened to come back so we can't be that bad! ;-)
