Hi Patrick I also have a traveller and wanted a radio to fit so I got one from Taton Park autojumble it has a switchable +/- earth and a built-in speaker no fm band though and it is possible to buy from ebay an ariel that fits on the parcel shelf so no drilling into wings or other parts, I think fro...

Hi Louise I had the same problem on my Traveller(incidentley the same colour as yours, is it Maroon B?) I just changed the regulator, not an expensive item as the original one was 40+years old and the adjustment process is a bit tricky £19 +vat and postage for a new item and job done.

Hi Guys Temp sender and clock now determined they aren't compatable with each other, how can I determine which is the right sender for the gauge? the gauge that I have is a Smiths type marked up as C-N-H on the dial can't find any date on the clock or any serial number/s there are two spade connecto...

Thanks guys temp sender in position now under thermostat housing got it in with a bit of jiggling, now it would seem that the gauge Is not compatable with the sender? the gauge is a Smiths from a mini so I thought there would be no problems not so.

Hi Declan Yes I see the position now I have had that plug out where can I get the adaptor from? as the supplier that I have been using doesn't seem to supply the adaptor just the sender, the gauge that I have is a Smiths electrical type with backlight, thanks for the info. Regards David

Hi Everybody I bought a temp sender from a large dealer in Gloustershire but can't seem to find a home for it in my 1098 1970 Morris Traveller engine block I found a plug under the thermostat housing removed it but the sender was to long to fit into the hole? then I spotted another plug towards the ...

Hi and welcome, I have just finished my 71 traveller it was a complete stripdown I don't know how far you want to go with yours but please don't scrimp it will be well worth it in the end I replaced the woodwork completely as it was to far gone to save and I replaced the rear doors as well so that i...

Hi everyone, re indicator problem we have success, it turned out to be nothing but a faulty new indicator can!!!! makes you want to spit all the hours that I spent looking for a problem that wasn't there you do start to doubt yourself so let that be a lesson to us all don't turn a potential minor pr...

Hi Bob Thanks for sticking with this and the operation did go well as you say they don't want you getting to used to that bed It was opp Monday up with physio Tues/Wed and discharged Thursday with a brand new suspension leg (Hip Replacement)thanks to Wrightington Hospital near WIGAN. Now getting bac...

Thanks Bob For the info it would seem that I have muddied the waters slightly, the side lights and rear lights work as they should and the head lights work as they should so we can discount those as they are working correctly and as you say the (new wire) that I have run from front to back to power ...

Hi Bob. As far as I know the indicators are wired correctly as was when it came out of the factory there are no signs of disturbance on that part of the loom still full of dust, and no different coloured wires appearing from nowhere the only colour change at a connector is the purple/white coming fr...

Hi All bought a new flasher stalk as I said but I am no further on the repeater lamp is still on in the cancelled position, I have even rechecked the wiring to the rear lamps and the earth connections at the rear could my new flasher unit be a dud? if not then I am at a loss as to what the problem i...

Hi all that responded to my Indicator problem I have deceided to get a new unit as I suspect the fault lies with the repair I made on the cable from the repeater lamp, I suspect that the soldered joint is catching on the casing and causing the problem as every thing else checks out and works I canno...

Every thing is wired as should be from stalk to harness I have just been making sure that the sliding connector that gives you left or right is working as it should and it seems to be ok I am stumped, could this be an earthing problem? I have cleaned all the earth points ie: each rear bumper hanger ...

Hi I have got the light green cable on the middle spade on the unit with the same result? I will post a reply when I get a solution. Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

No the only way I can get the indicators to operate is the way it was wired when I purchased the car ie; the light green connection is as it should be but the dark green and the green/brown are reversed? I have tried wiring it up as per diagram
but the indicators won't work then.

Hi Gbond I am beginning to think that the problem may be as you say I shall have another go tomorrow, but the stalk appears to be wired up right but I did make a repair to the wire for the repeat lamp, thanks for the input I shall let you know if I get a result.

I have a 71 traveller and the repeater on the indicator stalk stays on in the cancelled position still flashing? any ideas I have fitted a new flasher unit and played about with the wires in different positions on the unit but it would seem that the unit is wired up right, any offers.

I will try to find out the thread for you - but this is a MOST unusual fault......how did this happen??? There is no such thing as an 'A/F' thread......... I think the thread is 5/8" - but I will try to check that on a Mini forum. I know on high power engines the bolt (starter dog on a Minor) ...

Can anyone help me, as a new member as of today. I bought a 71 morris traveller an the crankshaft pully bolt was stripped I bought a new one but am having trouble determaning the type of thread is it A/F or UNF? as I will have to tap out the end of the crankshaft. Regards davidmtr71
