Morris Minor Owners Club

my two pennies worth! i agree that no unroadworthy car should be on the road (as most would), and would allways happily be subject to a test to show it... didnt we have one of those i think it was an mot or something.... in addition quite regularly insurers can want engineers reports and dvla inspec...

i can only comment from landrovers.... which was the landy handeled better on the x plies (more balanced and more progressive into a slide) but there was no where near the level of grip available which was fun in the wet to say the least!!! word of warning on the radials too dont be tempted to go to...

in my honest opinon its really down to personal taste, looks, wheels, and whats around at the time! So for me on the wifes car its stock 7" setup. its not faded yet (yes i have tried and got close and smelly but not done it yet) the pedal pressure on this setup is fine stiff but not too heavy a...

you can if you wish to use the relay method rather than change the flasher unit use the "smart bypass" units sold for modern cars that have bulb failure detection as this then separates the trailer wiring from the cars! they also have the buzzer fitted in them (some have warning light outp...

i agree with the points said! I find tyre fitters have a habit of saying if thats what you want and just write at customers request on the recipt!! i was also activly encouraged to fit 175/70/14 to std rims when ringing around to replace the 165/80's on my convertable... which was odd as i told them...

thankyou for your comments... other than the point noted about mirrors and rear heated screens, it seems positive!! just have to decide when to bite the bullet and get a minor to do it in (the wife wont let me use the convertable and it may be a tad draufty in the winter!!) the MPG figures suggested...

yes the small diesel would be more "sensable" (its what i am currently using) or the small petrols which do 50mpg ish which when you factor in the extra tax and fuel cost of the diesels makes them about the same to run.... but the problem is they lack sole, character or in the case of the ...

thats kina of what i was thinking.. unfortunately i have a choice of route to work up the m5 as its a straight run or fiddle through towns Taunton and bridgwater the cold isnt an issue normall though u just wear more clothes!!! (until the rain sticks to the windscreen!)

ok here goes! what are your thoughts (there i did it i've opened the can of worms!) about using a moggie as my daily drive as i have got bored with the modern stuff! so here are the problems.... my comute is a 60mile round trip on a motorway (i ownly normaly do 50-70mph anyway) and have established ...

yes bmcecosse i know that but when he appeared (rather later than told) didnt have a coil which he said he had (told him what the fault was and the recovery lady), turned up it wouldnt fit on the recovery dolly (how anything would is beyond me as it was the rear bumper hitting the floor!! :roll: ) a...

having had a recent "experiance" involving a tow rope a recovery van the m3 and a slip road i really dont see what the problem with standard brakes are! the standard minor 1000 set up comfortably stopped the van and minor from the eye watering 65mph he was towing me at in a reasonable dist...

having done the rellativly simple task (choughs under breath) of fitting a ej20 into an alfa 33 p4 these conversions are never simple or for the faint hearted!! yes our alfaru works (moted and log booked for stage rally) but it basically ended up with a complete drive train swap! then add the woes o...
