Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks BMC ! Yes she runs fine with points adjusted!

My 1098 Traveller broke down yesterday due to points closing up, at the exact moment she died, the fuel gauge shot up to full ( it had been on half full ) Do you think these 2 events could be connected or is it just coincidence? The sender unit is only 2 years old, one of the rectangular types for 9...

Many thanks to you all, will report back on progress!

Thanks again to both of you have noted all down carefully and will report back on progress!

Thanks Bmcecosse ! Havent got air hammer so am doing it the stone age way, my wife tells me that i am obviously clueless as I have taken the wheels off ' more than once ' ! Ah well 'success is going from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm' according to W Churchill !

I had a fuel smell from my Traveller! Having just replaced the old style sender unit, experts on here told me to put Blue Hylomar on both sides of sender gasket to stop smell. Smell only comes when tank is full or near full

Thanks to bmcecosse , minor65,and all! Will try changing shoes over! Have already replaced rear left cylinder !

Hi to all ! Have problem with brakes pulling to right but only for first mile or so then they seem to be ok! So far , I have changed out all the brake cylinders on the left hand side but problem persists. I have also tried adjusting the brakes several times. I am at a loss and need your suggestions....

Very good point about terminals ! Will attend to it! Thanks again bmcecosse

I have a Minor 1000 saloon 1961 1098cc. It was restored by Manchester Millenium in 2010. They fitted a Smiths heater, later type, which was operating as a recirculatory heater. Following advice in a post by a member( which I now cannot find) I have made the following alterations which have greatly i...

Hi Alex , got the same problem with mine, have removed inspection panel several times to lubricate, it lasts a few weeks then needs doing again! Suspect as the experts here have suggested, that it is the pedal shaft needs replacing. I have found Plus Gas works better than WD 40

Thanks again PhiltheHill and BMC advice much appreciated!

Thanks again , have ordered parts, will do as you say!

Many thanks to all of you for your excellent advice! I assume the chances of me undoing the u bolts to fit bump stops must be slim? Might as well go for new springs! Also am surprised it passed an MOT without stops[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1393524423_11491 [/frame][frame] http://mmo...

Have tried to post 2 pictures but they uploaded and then disappeared ! Any ideas what im doing wrong?

I have thought for a while that my rear leaf springs seem a little flat, would very much appreciate what you think ! I took the car to a garage recently and was told ' your rear end is too low ' ( how charming! ) Having spent last night reading the thousands of post on this subject, I have the impre...

Thanks BMCE, will do what you suggest !

My Mog is a 1964 transitional Traveller. Recently fitted new sender unit and gasket but have slight leak from one of the top screws. Have tried tightening up all the screws slightly but leak persists. A well known parts supplier has suggested Hylomar Blue smeared on as a solution. Do I put it on the...

I had a 24volt Hotchkiss Willys Jeep a few years back, exactly the same symptoms as your Minor and Im afraid it WAS the coil !!!

Ive done French trips twice. First time was in a white 4 door saloon named Gwen. She was fully restored by Manchester Minors just before trip, did about 1500 miles , speedo cable packed up in Calais, it had been jerking about for ages so I was warned ! She did use about 4 pints of oil despite it bei...
