Re: Brake lights

Thanks for the replies.

Hello, I'm new(ish) here...

Hi, I signed up to the forum a little while ago and have asked a couple of mechanical tech questions to which I've had some nice helpful answers, so I thought I should probably introduce myself... I'm Matt, proud owner of my first Morris Minor purchased in late november 2010. Here she is: http://i25...

Broken halfshaft? Or something else?
