Thanks for that.

Matches what I did

It looks in pretty good order, but a bit dirty, so I used some degreaser and gave it a good clean. Then reassembled with NO lubricant at all. I hadn't heard of the graphite thing before, but like you can't see it lasting.

Cheers

Sorry to be slow on the feedback. It was a week before the opportunity arose to take a look.... Under your advise I put her in second and gently rocked her, after around 30 seconds there was an audible ping and the engine freed up. I guess it must be the starter so I will have that off and give it a...

Thanks for the input gents. As it is the wife's birthday today I will have to wait a day of so to try your suggestions. I'll report back later in the weekend.

I went to start my Minor this morning and nothing! The battery is fine, and she was running fine when I cam home in her last night, but this morning when I turn the key all lights are up and bright, and pulling the starter does nothing!

This is very similar to what mine did a couple of weeks back. Mine turned out to be the condenser.

That looks like an excellent site. I may well give them a try for some a couple of spares.

Although I was suspicious of the throttle cable and have replaced that with a new one today :-) Again, thanks for the input, I'm...

It's nothing special - a bent bit of metal would do the job! Absolutely. I really just wanted to see where it attached and what it looked like so that I can do something similar. This investigation all came about when the throttle started sticking open a couple of days ago so I was looking into eve...

Found it now ....

Thanks for your speedy response

Thanks. I'll continue my search I am obviously not looking for the right thing on the bull motif website.

Hi All I have recently taken ownership of a lovely 1958 1000 4 door, Sage Green, saloon. The car has been in my family for many years and was fully restored in 1989, since which she has done very little work. When my Mum threatened to Ebay her I stepped in and am now using her regularly and loving i...
