Morris Minor Owners Club

so i simply order them, get them delivered to me then take them down to the local tyre garage and ask them to fit them?

would the local tyre place not have any suitable?

thanks

do you have the number of website link to contact them?

thanks

my tyres are is serious need of replacing, where is the best place to get some new ones? is it simply a case of nipping it down to Quick Fit or do I need to order from a specialist dealer?

thanks

brakes now completely gone, started going on the thurday, gone by sunday.

sounds like a leak somewhere to me, no fluid that i can see on the drive though.

thanks

i got in my car yesterday morning and the brake pedal seemed lower than normal, also it was a bit more spongy than normal, basically not as good.
any ideas what is wrong, how it can be fixed or how much it will csot?

thanks

It is the negative terminal that is earthed, 100%. The battery is about 1 month old and it was the blue wire for accessorys which i have just put a knot in and left alone. The case was not in contact with and metal at all. Could it be because I earthed at the terminal and not on the shell of the car...

100% sure the negative terminal is earthed

I tried to fit my CD player today, I thought it couldnt really be that hard, I know a bit about electronics and 'thought I' had a rough idea what to do. I cut off the adaptors and because I didnt want to take it to the fuse block I twisted the live and fuse block wires together (red and yellow). I t...

I stil have the old one, so i will try it and see if I can fix it.
Where should I start?taking off the middle bit which houses the mile counter?

Thanks

my speedo was not counting miles, so i got a new one from someone. however, after fitting i quickly became apparent that it was reading the wrong speed, (about double) and the miles were flying. I think the new one could be a newer model and have a different gearing to it, my old one had a cream bac...

after a good look i think i have solved the odd sound mystery. the exhaust has impressivly sheared off of both mounts holding it onto the body so it was just resting on the real axel, not good news, but i bodged it by resecuring it with some tough wire. any ideas where i can get the bolts to properl...

how do i fix the points then? worth a try myself? where can i buy them? could i just clean them up or are new ones necessary?

thanks

driving a 57, but its a bit of a mish mash of parts. the pump is mext to the battery, to the right, looking from the front. im on page 73 of hanes and i have the SU type pump. see through bit is the fuel filter i believe. the pump does not tick well, only when ignition is turned on and not well then...

i left for college today and got as far as the top of the road, I was hearing an odd noise on the way there but ignored it, then is spluttered and stopped. after coasting in reverse and parking it I had a look and it was the fuel pump, so i took i removed the cap and gave the bit inside a wiggle, th...

Great, I will pick some up tommorow, also should I try and remove all of the paint before applying primer or just the rusty bits?

Thanks

Hmm, realy dont know where to look for this green wire, I have looked under the car, in the bonet and behind the dash but cannot see and green wires leading to the heater, when you say under the heater do you mean behind the pannel under the circulkar piece? I thought this is where you ment but it h...

That was the colour that i was looking to buy. But it did not say anywhere on the can anything abouit acrylic or non-acrylic, nevermind cellulose!

Would this Arum white in Halfords which I was looking at be suitable then?

Thanks

Yes it is the circluar type, I can move the fan when the engine is off. The tap is open but I have not checked for hot water in the pipe but will (how long should it take to warm up?), where is the returning pipe and where is the green wire?

Thanks

Decided to spary paint the radiator grill and the wheels a new coat of cream but just before buying the paint I realized there were acrylic and non-acrylic types. Which should I be using? I have a 1962 2 door.

Thanks

My heater does not work at all, I have a 1962, 948cc, 2 door saloon and the heater does nothing. The fan is not spinning and as far as I know there is no water flowing (but I could be wrong, don't know how to check). I am 85% sure I heard a humming from it after some fiddling on the test run but nev...
