Morris Minor Owners Club

but the filler plug is tiny! why shouldnt i take the top plate off? evrything is clean and i made sure i didnt get any crud into the damper. front dampers btw, Is there any oil in them - to drain out ?? id say about 3 table spoons of manky oil came out. Did the valve come out with the bottom plug......

hey, ive got the oil, and emptyed the dampers, tryed putting new oil in, but no amount of bouncing seems to be getting it to flush through, am i doing something really stupid,
ive removed the plug at the bottom, and the plate at the top.
Thanks,
Andrew

wow! im having deja-vu, all i can see is brown cars! good choice in colour! im a strong believer that they dont make enough brown cars nowadays!bring back the brown cars i say! Which of us has the correct coloured grill? yours is white and mine is peat brown, what would it hav origionally come out t...

hey, im going to machine mart tomorrow, gonna get some other things and some oil for the shock absorbers, how much will i need and what would be better for everyday road driving, sae 30 or sae40? unfortunately they only do sae30 in 5ltr bottles for £20 whereas they have sae 40 in 1 ltr bottles for £...

Cant really comment on whether getting a new engine is worth all that money, but after bringing all my stuff back to uni with the car packed up to the eyeballs with basically all my possesions, it certainly seems like more than a 50 mile trip(for me). I had called the AA 4 times in the four days pri...

currently im running on old bike inner tubes, through the metal clips from the original, and i have to say i cant tell the difference atall! took me all of about 10mins work and five mins of that was adjusting wing mirrors 'cause i was now sitting about 3 inches higher!

im at uni so i dont really commute, more going to sainsburys! so lots of short trips weighed down with 4 hefty lads and alot of whiskey! also a reason for the poor MPG is that the vac advance is running a bit poorly, the rubber has perished and i cant find any moggy suppliers with them in stock! at ...

ok i did do the MPG work out and i got 32mpg calling it 200 on the cautious side, i think the difference between my estimation and how much fuel i actually had was due to only half filling it up several times and the compound error eventually meant i had more fuel than first thought! Ive tried earth...

hey, due to the petrol gauge not working i think i currently have about 20miles of petrol left! i was wondering how far people are getting on just a tank of petrol, so i can be a little more accurate i have no idea how big the tank is or how many MPG im getting, and i think my 200miles a tank assump...

The hockey sticks are held on by three nuts going through the wings, acessible from inside the wheel arch, just put full lock on the wheel and scrape away the road grime untill you find them!hope that helps! This is what it should look like without them, you can clearly see the holes through the win...

ive recently fitted a temp gauge into a 1098, as said above theres a blanking bolt just under the thermostat, the +ve supply needs to be taken from a spare terminal on the voltage stabiliser behind the speedo pretty easy job really, finding a place 2 put the gauge was my biggest headache i got a bra...

trouble with using a 555 is that the IC will not be able to cope with the voltage spikes and will need some type of regulation. what do people think to using one of these? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-L7805CV-LM7805-7805-5-volt-voltage-regulator-TO220_W0QQitemZ220488528390QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_BOI_Electr...

oh sorry didnt read the OP properly, i didnt realised ud already found the switch!

isnt there a switch underneath the speedo to turn them on? ;)

exactly my thinking!

BMC, thats a pretty sweet looking picture! if only my car looked like that!

ive got the wipac quadroptics but i think driving lights look pretty snazzy :D Do you mean like this just like that! How have you mounted them? to the gille surround? i was just gonna mount to the valence, possible re-enforcing it with some angle, has anyone done this? thanks for thh quick response!

heya im thinking about putting a pair on my morris, can i request some pictures of them on peoples minors? particually as ive got over riders just about where id wanna put them, i wanna make sure there not gonna look silly before i go out and buy them! also what size have other people got 5" or...

the advantage of my way is itd be free, i might just try it anyway!bosh a few zener protection diodes, and some kind of band pass filter in there and see what happens, have you any idea what magnitude the voltage spikes/surges would be? i cant really plug my oscilloscope in while im driving along! i...

glad its not just me, ive had my morris on the road for the last two weeks, and ive been given the one finger salute three times (that ive noticed) laughter, and just general abuse! but deep down i know there all jealous :D maybe its sign that i need to get that paint job sorted out.... or maybe its...

Has anyone put together there own hazard kits? They should be pretty simple things to make, and for me it could be completely free if i "liberate" the components from the stores at uni! When i broke down last weekend it got kinda old with everyone shouting to me to put my hazards on! braki...
