Morris Minor Owners Club

It was only surface rust. A light jab and scrape with my trusty rust screwdriver showed me that. Reckon I caught it just in time. And now I have a nice polished sill runner. But only on one side, the other side the bolts refuse to move. My angle grinder will see to that.

well a strip down is on the cards anyway, its just gotta get me through the next 12 months or so as a daily first. the whole floor could do with replacing as its pretty much made of plates, solid enouhg... but scruffy. so for now id rather make an effective repair than start welding in replacement p...

or a pressurised tank. when it dies, try opening your petrol cap. if it hisses then bingo!

been under the car most of the day trying to convince the age old bolts holding the sill rails on to come off... on side eventually got defeated and now i have to move on to the other. anyway while i was underneath the car i noticed some rust which has holed around the rear spring hanger on the pass...

those mirrors are useless, i have them on each side.. theyre too far back so you have to twist your head to use them, the fall off when you open your quater light, you cant use them if you open your quater light and they bend in when you go above 30!

Makes sense... easy way to check would be to.take.the fan belt off and connect the battery wouldn't it? If theyre stuck it'l motor.

The fuel pump contacts could have fused if he didn't clean them sufficiently...

I was hoping it was that, ill have to investigate. I hope its not a knackered bottom end every now and then I'm convinced I hear a knock when its cold, but then it doesnt do it again for me to double check!

Twice today my oil pressure light came on as I was on my way back from work, only when cold and only when returning to tick over after reving. When the engine was warm its fine, and each time a quick blip of throttle solved the problem. But it still can't be good?

Well is call today a huge success. I saw two pre war vans, one with l plates! A mint condition white minor van, a mustard yellow Beatles with the tiny back Windows... so a Damn early one! A Ford 100e van, and a lovely jowett javelin that had me drooling.

Yes they are the same electricly speaking. However a dead battery has a very high risk of exploding, which when your bent over it will make a right mess of your face and hands. DON'T DO IT. Always connect the negative to a good earthing point on your car, away from the battery. It's a special kind o...

You dont directly connect a booster to the battery anyway! You put The positive on the positive terminal and the negative to the body work!!!

Yeah I guessed I was lucky a few days later when someone on here snapped a stud at a much lower torque setting!

Mine will be outside b&q wednesbury, as it is every Sunday. And it still hasn't appeared in the spotted section!

Mine didn't budge at all... I even tried it a few days later incase is gone wrong, but it clicks straight out. Mine is Abit tighter than 44lb/ ft though..... I went with the recommend tightness written on the gasket instructions of 56lb/ft, 3000 miles later I've got no problems.

Doesn't mean its been in use. Date of liability will be the day the sorn expires. It doesn't look like it should have been in use!

couldnt you just specify a door lock with the same serial number as your existing ones? thats what id do anyway =] i would like the ability to lock the passenger door from outside tbh! that wing nut thing can be a pain!

spent abit of cash on leeroy today! ive treated him to a gallon of 20/50.. some sand paper and a can of matt black, and some kurust! i then went online and he ended up with a new set fo rear shoes, a screen wash resevoir, some headlight peaks and a pair of stainless steal sill rails! (the current on...

Yeah mine was the same.

I have to say I quite enjoy practical classics! That and classic cars weekly are my staple reads. And one of the writers runs a classic workshop half a mile from me. I have to say I'm not surprised.... I've already seen more minors on the road this year that in the entire of last year.
