Morris Minor Owners Club

Im trying to find an embroidered badge either with morris, or minor 1000 or morris minor (that bits not too important) that measures approx 3" long by 1" tall. Does anyone have any idea where i could purchase such a thing or two?
Cheers

i have a type 9 you can have for the cost of transport, it has no bell housing so you should be good to go. Pm me if you are interested

Any tips for removing rusted up torsion bars, ideally i do not want to have to dismantle the front end, the bar moves in and out of the front part fine but the other end is seized solid onto the adjuster arm. Any tips for getting it off? at the moment i am thinking just grind through the bar as i ha...

thanks for the help guys, i have decided i am going to bypass the servo and see how i get on with it, if i dont like it then i can get that service kit at a later date.

just one other thing, is there a repair kit available for lockheed servos? if so anyone know where?
Thanks

cheers, yes the servo has about 500ml of fluid in it doh. Does anyone know what the servo is called that comes in the usual suspects kit? i will see if there any on ebay etc.

I am having an issue with my brakes on my traveller. The fluid keeps disappearing, it is running ford front discs, a servo and standard rears. I checked all the connections and thought i found the leak at the brake switch union so i changed all of the pipework and all of the unions on the complete s...

sorry, got it off in the end. Didnt have to cut anything either which made me happy. Just had to get the leaf in such a position that it had the least load on the bolt, then a couple of hard hits and it flew out. Thats that job done now onto the many other million and one jobs to do.

cheers guys, i am about to attempt removal now, i will let you know how many hours it took me

Does anyone have any tips on removing the front mounting bolt from the leaf springs. I removed the drivers side by hitting it with a hammer for a while but the passenger side one will not budge at all. Its the odd bolt with the two holes in for a strange spanner.

Hi, Could anyone recommend me the best needle to run in my car. Spec is as follows:- 1275 Ital engine with +20 overbore HIF 44 Carb Pancake Filter Mini speed Intake manifold Tubular Exhasut manifold and free flow 1"1/2 bore stainless exhaust system Pretty much standard internals for this engine...

well i could not get it to fit, it seemed as if the U shape cutout was slightly wider on the 1275 sump than the 1098. I have fixed the leak in the original sump and put that back on. Maybe just my engine but i could not ever see it fitting

Hi,
Are the 1098 and 1275 sumps supposed to differ? i tried my sump from my original 1098 on my marina 1275 but it would not fit at the back. Is this normal? if so would all 1275 varients fit on my marina block or does it have to be a marina one?
cheers

the leak seems to appear after it has been driven, it takes a few hours but then there is quite a large puddle nder the car

I have an oil leak that i can not get rid of. I thought it was coming from the usual suspect (sump gaskets seals) but i have replaced them and it is still the same. The leak appears to be coming between the engine backplate/gearbox and the sump. Is there anywhere else here that it could be coming fr...

definately gearbox oil and not engine oil, once the box is out is there a test i can do to see what is happening?

Hi,
My gearbox has developed quite a large leak from the front end, i take it there is an oil seal around the input shaft is this easy to replace once the box is removed? if so could someone please link me to the correct part on the ESM site
Cheers

Ps its a 1098 standard box

whilst i am here asking these silly questions, where does the fuel pump wire go after leaving the fuse box? is it just a case of fuse box, ignition, fuel pump?

Hi,
My midget engine has the possibility of fitting a mechanical fuel pump, if i wanted to do this what would it involve? is it just a case of taking off the blanking plate and bolting on the pump? and will any a series mechanical pump fit?
Cheers
