Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks for the clarification. Would I be right in assuming you just want the number on the V5 to match the Heritage number that is the same as on your car. If so give DVLA an email to ask if you can correct the number as it is incorrect. I am sure they would help. They may ask for proof but you have...

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve. I would think that if the V5 matches what you have then what do you need to change. I had to reregister my traveller after spending 10 years in France. Even though it was straight forward the DVLA asked for stupid information that seemed to have no reaso...

I usually stick with who you know. I have never bought a steering rack, but I have never has a problem with this supplier or any of the other mainstream supplier.

I found a piece of aluminium on the road and used it to make a simple bracket. It is only attached to the parcel shelf with double sided tape. One USB if for the dash-cam and the other goes to a phone holder. Using WAZE is brilliant as the speedometer in the app is more accurate than the cars. ( the...

Regardless of polarity I used a BOAT USB charger. The body is plastic so it needs a seperate earth. This can be swapped around to suit the car.

I have Ford based disks without a servo. Never felt the need to have one. I believe them to be another level of unnecessary complication. I expect others will disagree.

I have used Jenolite many years ago but I prefer the rust converters like Trustan etc.

You can get stainless steel sill finishers that look very smart and wont rust. They are bolted on.

Remember Green Shield stamps? I can still taste them...

I don't know, but it's only fifty pence a gallon!

Don't worry people, I know where I can still get leaded petrol.

Yes. You won't regret it. New chrome looks so good.

In think you will find that these items are made from cast MAZAK. This will not polish and the original items were chrome plated.

Years ago a neighbour of mine had a light blue saloon on his drive. It was rusted and had not been moved for several years. A friend of mine offered him £500 for it. The neighbour refused the offer saying that 'these cars are worth a fortune'. two years later he had to pay for it to be removed and s...

Shame as disc brakes are a vast improvement on a Minor. I have Ford based disks fitted thirty years ago and at one time suffered the same as you. It seemed that the brakes were on all the time and the pedal was solid. I fitted a replacement master cylinder and all has been well since. It could be th...

There is some adjustment, though very limited. The problem is that when you align one part, another becomes out of true. Good luck my man.

Hard to say. A friend of mine had a Minor that the previous owner had fitted a racing clutch for some reason. It was almost impossible to drive. There is an adjusting rod just before the operating fork that may improve things for you.

I blocked up my hose with a bit of wood taken from the hedge row. I remember reading once that a young chap drove his Minor to India. Somewhere in Africa he had to strip a blocked carburettor. When he put it back together he could not find the throttle needle. He noticed that a nearby bush had very ...

Nice car. I wired mine as in this diagram. They only go on when the lights are on main beam. You may wish to wire each light separately.

I second all that Stephen says. I replaced the complete breaking system in the 1990's and have never had a seized cylinder since. I stress that all brake lines, flexables, wheel cylinders and master cylinder were changed or stripped and rebuilt with new seals. I fitted disc brakes at the same time. ...
