Morris Minor Owners Club

I do not know what brake shoe's they are. i bought them of e/bay probably not by mintex.
i am going to replace them with mintex shoes, as the sound is getting worse.
thanks for all the advice.

had a mechanic take a look at it and he took each plug out while it was running, and said that it is only firing on 2 cylinders. he needs to take the head off and replace some valves. so got onto ebay and found one that's been reconditioned hopefully it will run like it just came out of the factory....

Thanks Bmcecosse, for your support on my correct spelling as you suggested i turned the idle speed a bit but it still keeps cutting out as soon as i stop. the engine seams to be misfiring and sluggish the AA guy said it could be the vacuum something i don't know what he means. she starts fine and en...

thanks for pulling me up on my spelling mistakes, i just blame the computer. lol maybe i should take Morris out more often using the brakes a lot, hopefully it might wear out a little. I have now come up with another problem when ever i brake to a halt she now cuts out, and is loosing power quite la...

can someone help please, i had a new break master cylinder fitted, together with wheel cylinders and shoes. and each time i break it squeaks really loud. took it back to the garage and they said that with constant use it will get quieter. is this true? i don't really take her out much as it can get ...

Yes that is a bargain, did you get it done? if so could you recommend? as i would like mine done. it just needs rubbing down a bit
and spraying no dents or rust. just want it all to be one colour as there are a few patches here and there.

Ok i will be going to the telegraph next month, i know where it is, will bring back memories as it is near my school where i went to. hope to get some tips from the guys.

i am in sw16 london. the trouble is everything to do with minors are all out of London. even minor clubs, rally's, work shops. ect. there is nothing in central London for us few minor enthusiasts to show off our pride and joy. and i would not chance driving to any events as they are too far from cen...

thanks for all the advice, i live in sw london, and yes the cheapest quote i got was for £1500. when polished with a good car polish it comes up nice and glossy, but not all over. its just that the respray that it had before i owned it 5 years ago was a bad job, as you can see ripples in a few place...

Thanks guys i will give it a try

well i just got a tin of the old underseal and gave the underneath 2 thick coats, managed to get in all the corners with a brush.
did this on a really hot day when the under floor was really dry.

Dose anyone know where i can get my minor resprayed for a reasonable figure.
the body work is good no rust. just need it to look bright.
i live in the london area.
thanks Des

no i have not repeated the test with the alternator. i also fitted a electronic ignition she is a dream to drive now. starts first time even if i do not use her for 3 weeks. and i tuned her, she is quiet when idle now. i am a bit confident now as i am prepared if anything goes wrong i managed to get...

can anybody please give me some advice. i will be really greatful. my su fuel pump suddenly started to tick really fast, pumping a lot of fuel to the float chamber. which makes fuel spurt out from either side of the float chamber, which also floods the carb. is it the fuel pump thats faulty, or do i...

can someone tell me which oil i should put in the damper.
can i put engine oil?

that is a ridiculous price, i am pretty sure you can get it for under £50 from e/bay or the mm club.

If i was you i would insist on returning the car back to the dealer, and get a full refund. then look for one on this site (Morris minor owners club) you are bound to get one that has been taken cared of. this is the site i got mine from, and i am really happy with it. i had to replace a few things,...

i had the same problem with my dynamo, when i used the car at night and in cold weather, i was constantly charge my battery. i found when the engine was running, i disconnected the positive terminal the car would stop. this made me realize that a dynamo dose not give you much power. i fitted a new a...

thanks, i use my minor almost every day in the spring and summer on short journeys mostly 15mls each time. this summer i am going to take her to Brighton which is 60 mls from me. to try her out. since i have had her. the only thing that let me down was the fuel pump. have replaced it with a recondit...

my Morris is identical to yours, same color, year and engine, i also find it reduces speed when i am going up a hill. i remember when i was learning to drive in one many years ago, my instructor used to tell me as soon as i spot a hill i must soon build up my speed before i get there. and leave it i...
