Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks for advice guys, it usually my wife and myself in the traveller but my daughter wanted to join us yesterday !

I have recently bought a 1969 traveller with seat belts fitted to the front seats but not the back. Are these mandatory ?

Thanks for the tips. My traveller in Scotland is garaged and doesn't get much use as i'm only here a the weekend and it mostly rains. Perhaps Alex Salmond can negotiate Scotland's righful share of the sun !

|I'm just about to buy a traveller for pottering around and to and from work. Working away from home I don't have a garage but there is private off road parking and I am looking to buy a car cover. Any advice on what to buy will be appreciated. Parking will be on the sea front on the South coast so ...

It was square, cleaned up all the connections, fingers crossed for some trouble free driving

Have fitted the new solenoid and there have been no problems on starting (so far). Will lets you know if there are ay further dramas ! Thanks for the advice

Thanks, sound advice

Lights flicker momentarily on start. Have checked and cleaned connections and will replace the solenoid just in case.

I'm interested in a traveller for sale and have had a good look over the car. One of the problems is the Newton Drivers seat needs a patch or repair. Should I get in touch with with Newton or is this something I could do with a swatch of the correct material ? Sorry haven't got a pic.

Have solved problem with water ingress (hopefully) and treated the area with wood hardener so its now rock hard. Next decision I guess is how much of a repair is needed, chop ...

Thanks for the advice, will give it a go when home next week.

I have an intermittent proble on starting. On turning the key the igniton "sticks" making a click sound and wont turn the engine over. This can last for several goes or might just clear after one. The battery is new and I have tried all th usual checks, plugs, contacts etc. Trickle chargin...

Does anyone in the Glasgow area have any contacts for wood repairers ? I need some advice and work on my traveller.

Thanks for the advice guys next time I am home will start a new thread and work through some of the options from this thread.

I'm having similar problems with my traveller thatsmisfiring. My local mechanic (who restores minis) has fitted a refurbished SU carb, a new head gasket, refurbished the cylinder head, fitted a replacement s/h coil and checked out the distributor. He thinks the timing belt may be stretched and would...

Thanks for all the advice problem sorted checked the basics and all is now well.

Thanks for the advice guys, think I'll start with the condenser. The engine conks out after a couple of minutes idling so haven't driven it. Revving doesn't seem to make any difference.

My engine has just starting conking out after a few minutes running. It starts again then conks out. Could this be a problem with the coil ? The timing seems to be ok and I've checked all the spark plug and distributor connnections.
