Morris Minor Owners Club

This is just a wild guess. Maybe it's like model railway engines, You're meant to leave them running on for a few hours. Maybe if you did that the heater would smell less as it got used to being used.

I agree with Elaine, please take your car apart so you can give a total indepth report on every little detail of minor maintenance You should put that up in the Technical Tips section. I know i'll be trying it when the rain stops.

surely it can't be as the speed cameras need to detect the plate and also it has to be easily read. Or do you mean they have plates and the number painted on the bonnet?

how do you know these things?

maybe a friend in the police force? ;) I wouldn't mind knowing

uhm do I know you?

we used olive oil on our morris minor- worked a treat !

I should post how we used it in the useful tips section one of these days.

oh peetee why shoot yourself over it instead of the person who SAID the awful joke

It could be moggy as in the cat. There are some similarities between a minor and a cat. When it's in a good mood it purrs. In a bad mood or ill it yowls. You think of it as a pet, you've admitted already many pat their cars in the morning- that's almost stroking it ! And if it's about to break down ...

MOrris GaraGIES well was a reasonable go at trying to work it out...... I always wondered why they were called Moggies as well.

Our saloon also originally (or when we bought it) had a white parcel shelf,but the leaks from the old windscreen rubber made short work of it :( so later when we took it to a garage to get some welding etc done they decided it looked tatty and chucked it out and we had to ask them to give us one bac...

we have the bonnet gasket things, just havn't had any let up in rain to fix them ironic or what

It has to be still on the road from what I can judge the old number was sold to pay for the cost of getting the body /engine rebuilt

Peetee, surely the rear carpets would also get wet though? It may be worth chucking a bucket of water to make sure there are no leaks! That won't be needed- we have Scottish weather here ;) I should have mentioned that we did replace the rear windscreen rubber, but no sealant etc was used as they fi...

maybe you can buy it back

A bright new start to the day, and how did it start? Wet seatbelts (as always), puddles on the parcel shelf and soaking wet carpets :x The only thing I can think of is the wiper rubbers, we've only just redone everything else :cry: i'm getting a little disheartened :( And the old boot lid rubber fel...

1) What would you suggest is the best mastic/sealant for a boot lid rubber? (not sure whethere you would use sealant or mastic) 2) How can you remove the heater, to open it up to see if foam is perished and possibly replace foam? 3) How can you replace the oval rubbers from the windscreen wipers? Do...

the cover was rusty when we got the car- BEFORE we got the new chassis :oops: that explains why it's rusty :( If it wasnt for an oil leak we would have had to replace all our chassis. Also on the subject of oil leaks, ours does lose a few drops after each run, but the car has been at max on the dips...

Bringing an old topic back to the light (such an old topic in fact the first post was made in 1970 ) but anyway, You mention the red for the flash (which does look quite good) , but what colour for the blue on the front bonnet badge?

Okay, over the christmas holidays we found out our box section was nicely full of water (our rear window rubber was the culprit) .We managed to siphon it out using the radiator over flow pipe and now the big question. I know it is impossible to get into the box section (the top holes are way too sma...

some people sure are modest about themselves

i'll have to try wd40 when i find the stuff (it's been moved from where I last put it :) ) the passenger side switch once undone had 1mm of wire free so swapping to a new switch will be hard, unless behind the glove boxes I can free up some more :) i'm trying not to buy new switches if possible so I...
