dip lights not working - main beam good

Hello, I've got a problem with my headlamps. I'm sure it's an easy fix but would appreciate your guidance. Neither headlamp works on dip but both are fine on main beam. It started two days ago and a simple "flip em off flip em on again" rectified it, but last night all the switch flipping ...

Re: no more MOT for pre 60 cars

I worry that this is the thin end of a wedge whereby pre 1960's vehicles are thought of only as museum pieces and we are eventually told how and where we can use them :(

Re: Traveller boot dimensions please

Regaliaqueen- I'm in the opposite boat and feel a smidge defector-y for not buying another Austin :P


7's will always be my first love, but am excited about the search for a traveller. I'd be hoping to make a purchase by March and am happily researching at the moment!

Re: Traveller boot dimensions please

Thanks Mike, will make a note re the securon 264s.
Must say it's been a lovely welcome to the world of Morris-ing, if I wasn't already convinced by the charm of the cars then the friendliness of the forum would certainly have won me over!

Re: Traveller boot dimensions please

As regaliaqueen (good name) says, we're not selling the Austin, is a much loved part of the family! The space issue is only a problem while the impending baby is under 3 yrs old as they have to be in a proper child seat, after age 3 they can roll around in the back all perfectly legal. I just have a...

Re: Traveller boot dimensions please

DD, DH etc are originally American forum shorthand but they are the "norm" on most of the forums I visit. I'm not an MSE user but might need to be in order to fund the proposed traveller!

Thanks for the measurements, v useful :)

Traveller boot dimensions please

Hello all, I've had a quick rummage around on the internet but can't locate the boot dimensions for the Morris minor traveller. Apologies if I'm missing a really obvious web resource! Could anyone spare 5 mins to go and measure their traveller boot please? I'm considering a traveller as our second c...
