Morris Minor Owners Club

I will report back on the result of this conundrum

Hello All, Thanks for the helpful replies. Apologies for my mistakes in the original text. As you guessed the speedo reads low. That is the speedo reads 30 when the car is doing 50. Also the speedo reads 0 when the car is standing still but as the car speeds up the indicated speed is consistently lo...

Another error. For get gearbox recalibrated read get SPEEDO recalibrated by Speedy Cables

I have a 948cc Minor convertible ( smooth gearbox case) and the lay shaft wore out one day.. I picked up a nice secondhand (smooth gearbox case) gear box and found a local garage to fit it. I was happy with the result. The replacement box changed smoothly and did not leak. BUT The speedo reads about...

Hi oliver90owner, I am not an expert but, 1] the new speedo has the same serial number as the one I replaced {and the same facia}. 2]My replacement gearbox was replaced with another finned gearbox from another 948cc Minor. Is it possible that different finned gearboxes have different speedo drive ra...

"Smart" motorways are a dangerous money saving trick. Naming the motorways "smart" is a confidence trick worthy of 1984.

I have a 948cc Minor convertible and my speedo now reads about 15mph low. I have recently replaced the finned gearbox with another second hand finned gearbox when the problem started. I have tried replacing the perfectly good speedo and the problem persists. Why should a gearbox swap for two seeming...

Our magazine keeps us up to date about the likely increase of ethanol in our petrol and the possible damage to classic cars. I expect the increase will happen so should we be clear about what we can do to prevent damage to a Morris Minor? For some years cars have been fitted with plastic petrol tank...

Congratulations to the club team for the stand. Must be one of the best of show.

Hi All , Thanks for all the advice. I think I have finally found the problem but only after replacing everything with working spares. The rubber fuel pipe between the pump and carb had a blockage which looked like a small bit of paper in it. This was free to move in the pipe but worked its way with ...

Thanks for all the advice. I will work through the alternatives and report back. It's unlikely to be the electronic ignition as the misfire/cutout happens both with my previous points and the electronic ignition that replaced it. The electronic fuel pump is working well and does not click randomly. ...

Can anyone help. My 948cc Morris Minor has had a persistant problem. If I drive it for more than about 20 miles it misfires and then stops. It will restart after a few minutes rest but will then stop again soon.After a good rest it will run for another 20miles. Perhaps I should confine myself to 15 ...
