Re: Membership benefits - Esso Fuel Card

I had the same experience, I went further than you and asked a 3rd time, getting more forthright in questioning their lack of information and still the same stock response. I went on Trust Pilot and left a 1* Review, copying the text of the responses,to see what the effect would be... Less than 24 h...

Re: minor lowlite

Hi Muzzman It never ceases to amaze me how many people seem to mention 998cc engines with regard Minors; because as far as I'm aware, the A Series 970, 997 and 998cc engines were only ever used on the Transverse gearbox of the Mini etc. Unless Au/NZ production was different. But typos aside, back to...

Re: SU fuel pump, only clicking once.

It has a new, SU pump, that has suddenly stopped working. I clicks once, when a voltage is applied, but that's it. No tick, tick, tick, etc. Further detail required. New as it fitted in the last few weeks, or just fitted today and it's only clicking once every time power applied ? If it's new today...

Re: Number plate light

Black is always the Earth Wire. Lamps always earth to the body. Red is the Side Lights, which includes the number plate, so Red to central contact. Make sure you have a supply, but also make sure the earth is good. Use a meter if you have one, 12v on the red when switched on, and the Black should be...

Re: Rocker cover plate

Phil has covered it, but you have to be careful of terminology. A 'Blind Rivet' is one where you don't need to the the other side with some type of tool such as a reaction block. The problem with the blind/pop rivet is that after the mandrel has snapped off when it's competed it's compression, it ca...

Does anyone know if the Fuelpecker cards will be automatically replaced when they expire, or is it a benefit that won't be continued?

Re: MOT exempt for 1275 engine

Just make sure you insurance company know about the modifications to your vehicle. I wouldn't worry so much about the DVLA. I wouldn't be so dismissive of ensuring the DVLA have the correct details. I believe the fine is £1000 if they choose to go that route. . I have recently bought a 57 4-door wi...

Re: molding rear arches rather than piping

Such bodywork matters are not my forte, however I would sat that it's not going to be easy with bolted on wings and more likely to move in my view. I know (pre-55), the Front wings started with piping but then went to filler, but being hidden in the bonnet trough is a lot different to being exposed ...

Re: Horn wiring - 1953 Series II

I believe you'll find it very similar to the version used on the 1000 models with a central horn push. So you might find this parts manual illustration helpful.

Re: Washer Pump Trico/Lucas

Well since all Minors factory fitted with any washers were manually operated, the fact they your electric one is always live is down entirely to how it was installed. I assume it doesn't run continually, I therefore also deduce that the installer must've switched the earth, just as the Horn does.......
