Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks Les; that’s the one I saw. Brilliant; thanks

What size bolts did you use?

Thanks Les. I recently moved house and all my Morris books are in boxes somewhere in the depths of my garage etc! I am planning to install the new petrol tank in my new project. There was a post on this forum and I am fairly sure you replied to it with a photo of a van chassis with the petrol tank i...

I am in the process of overhauling my new project, a Morris van. I want to change the oil in the diff and I am using Castrol EP 90 GL4 Spec. Will 1 litre be enough? And how often do you change the oil in the diff? My other van hasn't had a diff oil change since I owned her (12 years) and will do her...

The rear wheel has a broken stud. Having read the above posts, I was planning to remove it in situ after removing the drum. How easy is it to remove the hub itself? I have to renew all the brakes anyhow. Thanks

As I said I prefer the forums as you can search for topics easier but unfortunately social media have taken over and the LCV Forum had very few active members on there at the time. In fact I posted a post and over the course of the year only had one response on it whereas I posted the same post on F...

The Minor LCV Register is still active and gathering momentum on its FB Page. Unfortunately forums are a dying phenomenon as most people now use social media such as Facebook and X (Twitter) due to ease of uploading photos and attracting a wider audience. I prefer the forums for ease of access to th...

Is this still available for sale ? A long shot I know…..Thanks

What's the latest on this van?

I spotted a white Traveller at Plymouth Dock ferry on Saturday 31 May to catch the night ferry to Roscoff. Sadly I was coming back from my holiday in Brittany. No photos I am afraid.

I checked the trunnions and I had to grease them anyway when I noticed that one of the grease nipples was missing which I promptly replaced and pumped some grease in. Interestingly, the noise have gone (for the moment). Perhaps this was the cause. The wheel nuts were secure and he torsions bars were...

Very nice looking van which I recall seeing at the LCV bash last year. Would love a Series 2 LCV to compliment my 1098 pickup and van.

Thanks to everyone's input; I have been away and have just got back. The noise is heard when it's moving and it's heard when I am doing 20 mph plus especially when turning into another road or round a roundabout. I will check the rigidity of the torsion bars tomorrow. The petrol pump noise is, I thi...

I am fairly confidence that it's not the fuel pump. I will check the tie bar and brakes. Chris, as you're probably aware. I am getting a new chassis for the p/up this summer and I am guessing that there's some flexing in the flooring area p-erhaps. I will update when I know more. Cheers

I must admit I did think of that Could it be anything else?

can anyone help me with this annoying noise, It's a clicking. clacking noise that come from the front passenger side, I noticed this noise gradually last week. The noise if fairly loud. It wouldn't be wheel bearings could it? It is a1971 Austin Pick Up. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Looks a well executed project aqnd look forward to seeing it in the SW sometime. Will you retain it original colour?

Thanks for the answer. I think I have another old coil somewhere in my spares bin. I will have to send the new one back for a refund. I will put it against the bulkhead or inner wing as at some point I am opting for an alternator. As an aside I planned to replace the top and bottom rad hoses today b...

I serviced my pickup today with a oil change, radiator flush, plugs, air filter and so forth. I thought I would change the coil with a new Lucas one just to tidy up the engine bay a bit. The old coil is mounted on the dynamo and I simply swapped it over in situ but It didn't start at all, I returned...

Thanks for the feedback chaps; it seems that the vast majority here run their Morris on Champion plugs. That's good enough for me. Incidentally the mechanic who told me about the 'problem' runs a Minor LCV himself and is a classic car buff. Perhaps he had a bad incident in the past. I will stick to ...

I was talking to a mechanic the other day who told me to get shot of the Champion plugs as they aren't as good as NGK ones as the Champions ones tends to overheat too much. I have always used NGK plugs on my mowers, chainsaws, hedge cutters, etc.. but only fitted Champions to my 2 Morrises as they w...
