insurance valuation

Footman James tell me to obtain a valuation for Morris, supplying four pictures showing condition. What do you think? do I just do it? Do I want to know? I might be disappointed! Who do I get to do the job? Should Iget another insurance company?

Squeaks.

It squeaks! My car that is . High pitched, seems to come from all round the car. sounds like child's squeaky toy. I thought it was the eyebolt bushes but they've been changed now. Still squeaks. Where should I look next?

rattling steering column

Morris runs beautifully after recent engine works.I am the chap whom Charles Ware paid for labour after athe cylinder head they supplied failed. Has had for some time irritating rattle to do with the electrics in the steering column. There are available felt pads to stop this I believe I did it once...

why c an I not get on to Questions for the committee

why can I not get onto Questions for the committee? It tells me I have not got permission! Possibly not but I have got a Question. My son has started a Motoring website and I wanted to ask permission to introduce a alink. But does this constitute advertising, which I have read is not allowed?

Re: charles ware morris minors

Ref. cylinder head failure. There was no damage to the engine. I think it boiled down to a broken valve spring. Surely these things can happen? I can"t help but feel well treated by the company! martin my garage man said I was lucky!
