I bought this well sorted 1275 2 door a couple of years ago which goes a lot better than it ought. The clutch has just gone and left hand tie panels needs replacing so I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and remove the engine. On taking the carb and exhaust off a set of beautifully polished ...

Thanks for all the suggestions - much appreciated.

As far as I can tell the hydraulics are functioning correctly - what sort of travel should the lever on the end of the slave cylinder have? It's moving an inch or so and I'm just wondering if that's enough.

What I suspected and didn't really want to hear

Would it be easier to remove engine and 'box as one or wiggle out the box on it's own?

I have a '69 2 door saloon with a 1275 engine and box fitted with a hydraulic clutch. The clutch pedal has always needed to be pressed right down to the floor and has finally given up making me think it's a hydraulic problem. Looking at the condition of the master and slave cylinders I've replaced t...

Hey ho!

Well at least I now have an excuse to get out and get rummaging

Seems I have a problem with the drivers door (2 door saloon) in so much I can't lock it - the key turns but the interior door lock catch lever is very sloppy. With the door open, if I hold the lever up the lock works but let go or shut the door it then drops and the lock opens. Is there anyway of ad...

Try the following - Minor 1000 switch
T1 - white/red - starter solenoid
T2 - white - ignition light
T3 - brown/blue - control box TA1

Many thanks - that worked a treat and I stuck the spare one on T4 so al is good again!

Cheers

Hope someone can help me out as my google mojo has failed :roll: I have a Lucas 4 pole ignition switch - turn to right to start and run, turn to left for aux power. Looking at the back the terminals are numbered 1 to 4, number 3 being a single spade and the others double. I'd be very grateful if som...

If the fit at the wing end is ok - don't touch the hinges! The wing/door fit is just about perfect, which is why I'm thinking something is amiss and on the side shown. The door fits at the at the top and bottom - I'm just wondering if it's been over on it's side and pushed the rear side panel in a ...

Billy is coming up for his MOT :o Any recommendations for a tester who understands older cars in or around Aylesbury?

I seem to have acquired a rather splendid 2 door Moggie the kids have christened Billy, a membership to the MMOC and the wife has given up all hope of the house being painted :D This is my first restoration so please be gentle! Although the underneath looks pretty good, there's a bit of immediate we...
