Morris Minor Owners Club

The flange is a little annoying,and I'm sure removing the rust trap would be a good idea. I kept them on mine just so it looked more original from the inside. Also the flange is a little useful when fitting the wings as you can hang the wing on the flange then line up the screws[frame] http://mmoc.o...

Hi there, thanks for the info. With MarkyB's advice, I've been checking into the problem tonight and all the connections seem to be ok. The flasher stalk tell-tale works fine. As do all four indicator lights when driven from the output of the eight way relay. I think the left hand set were a little ...

Hi MMOC people, I wonder if you could help me with a little problem I'm having with Molly. I replaced the flasher relay a couple of weeks ago and it worked for a few seconds - then pop.... so I chucked in another one (I always buy two of everything - I will need a spare!) and that one lasted a few d...

Hi, i'd check the screws where the rear part of the door frame joins the top with the little angle bracket. They shouldnt really project into the window runner area. Also the felt channel that the glass runs in should be trimmed out at the end where it goes over the angle bracket, so its just two s...

thanks for the help. I assume that the arm would be almost vertical if I had run out of travel? I don't remember there being much adjustment in the position of the winder mechanism.

After I rebuilt Molly's drivers door, I don't seem to be able to get the window closed properly. It will got up to about 10mm from the frame so there is a little gap (and I have a soggy foot well in the morning!). I don't want to force it (I've bent enough winder mechanisms that way...). I have trie...

Only if it was deluxe spec. the standard model would have the same pattern upholstery without the silver/grey inserts.

Are there many non-deluxe ones around?!

Hi Rupert -Happy New Year! Is that your car under the snow ?? Hi there! happy new year to you too. Yup that pile of snow is molly... it got worse after that... :roll: http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee150/rbear808/IMG_1518.jpg looking forward to the first steam up of the new year! Rupert

very nice! We have a good old dollop of snow here too. I was hoping to get molly out and about in it (for some sideways fun!) but er... she got overtaken by events! http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee150/rbear808/IMG_1518.jpg I saw a Capri 2.8i out and about yesterday. Now that's heroic! keep up t...

I spotted an advert for a Highway yellow minor like mine in Minor Matters this month. ( here ) Its in much better nick that mine (at the moment!). There were only a few originally this colour does anyone out there know of any more? http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee150/rbear808/031.jpg http://i23...

Another one in Scotland. We live in Bathgate west lothian

there seems to be quite a high scotish contingency here! Surprising as its so rare (for me) to see another minor out and about!

Rupert

I have used a nice temporary seal along the bottom of the door apeture which has worked very well. Get some of that black insulation which is used for pipes which is a foam cylinder (about 2 1/2" diameter) and has a slot cut in it. Open it out and slip it over the botom of the apeture, then sla...

thanks for the interest!

Definetly a splash of yellow (YL9) on there! (very rare you know!)

I staged the photo in Edinburgh's "New Town". I couldn't find anywhere witout double yellow lines (

she doesn't look so good up close!

Rupert

thanks for the replies regaliaqueen, I have one of Mr Grumpys engine steady kits which does the job quite well. the original bracked under the battery has cracked so its not much use! PSL184 - what in the clutch would make it do that? I'm not saying you're wrong - I just want to think through all th...

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to say hi as Molly my morris minor is back on the road as of a few weeks ago and I'm keen to get her used (she has been say for about 3 years). I've had her for about 19 years and I must say am a little obsessed! all the best Rupert<br> http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=124...

or something like that! Now I've got Molly back on the road and running nicely I've been hairing around west lothian and one signficant problem has come to light. In first or reverse (particularly reverse), when starting off she judders really badly. I have heard the gearbox steady cable can be a pr...

just wanted to say a big thankyou to bmc_ecosse and the rest of the SRPS team. We went along and had a lovely time. Unfortunatly Molly (the minor) was left at home and we went in the Commer as we needed to take the bikes ,but it was very nice nevertheless. Parked next to a rather nice TR7! <br> http...

oh yes please! Hopefully I'll be there (weather and kids permitting) if I don't make it would it be ok to PM you and get it some other way?

would be nice to meet up - you're only in livinston aren't you?

Rupert

is it too late to get in? I just got my car through MOT today (may need a tax disc thought) can I come in the Commer?

its fathers day so I get to do what I want!

Rupert

hello there - looks like there was a good turn out last weekend. Sorry I couldn't make. It I just managed to get my car through her MOT today. BMC Ecosse did you manage to shift those light lenses? If not I'm interested! When is the next show the SMMOC is attending (apart from Moffat - I'm on holida...
