Re: Help / suggestions please

Well I'm none the wiser but it's running... Millerman kindly lent me coil, I had new points, condenser, dizzy cap at the ready... I thought that i'd better start where I left off, checked the connections in the dizzy cap and turned it over - started first time. Checked for spark in dizzy, all looked...

Re: Self Judging

I was there too, and I'm a memeber of the South Wales club, but I didn't win anything! I thought the judging process was a fairly relaxed affair with everyone asked to pick a car of each model from the cars on display, that they considered to be the best. If it was a concours event I think theTrafal...

Re: Hub cap question..

I've had a look online at some photos and think that they are most probably 1100/1300 ones. Thanks for the help. I'll try and get a photo of one on here so you can confirm.

Hub cap question..

A friend has some hubcaps that he belived to be off a minor as they had a lovely 'M' in the middle, however when he bought one to show me it turns out they are not. I didn't get a chance for a photo but they are about half an inch smaller in diameter and the they are much flatter (less domed) than t...

Re: South wales Branch Rally 2011

I was too busy chasing the kids to take many photos! :lol: Thanks to Ray for all the hard work in organising the event, a great day was had by all, young and old. Ray's attention to detail with stuff to keep the kids busy and fantastic trophies was brilliant. It was really good to have a look over e...

3rd gear ticking... more like rattling

Noticed today a new noise coming from my traveller. :oops: When in third gear there is a rythmical ticking noise, not too loud but definitely there (more noticable when coasting down hill in gear). Could this mean I have chipped a tooth in the gear? Any other suggestions? (hoping someone will come a...

Re: Looking for a Morris Traveller

Having looked around myself earlier this year for a traveller I found that it pays to probably spend a bit more upfront as you seem to get better value in the long run (as long as the car is good). There are a lot of cars out there with recent recipts for work in excess of their asking prices. Find ...

Re: Meet Humphrey !

Well I have a traveller called Humphrey too! He was actyually named by my kids (5 and 3, because he has 3 humps), and they adore him and are very keen to go everywhere they can in him. I'm sure that might change when they're a bit older though! As you can see from my sig he is also an unusual colour...

Old tyres?

Hello all, I had a puncture over the weekend and on taking it to be repaired I was advised that my tyres were dated 1989 and therefore were much more than the reccomended 10 years maximum age, and should be changed. I know that the good chap at the tyre place may have been trying to make a sale as m...
