Morris Minor Owners Club

I didn't say he moved the dizzy. He certainly didn't undo any bolts down there, other than the one holding the LT lead down!

First thing he did when he spotted there was no spark was pop the dizzy cap off, and the problem was immediately obvious. Snapped LT lead. He remade it, and refitted it.

From the original post Roy...

Well Roy, until the LT lead snapped the car was performing admirably. Returning 31mpg at a steady 55mpg with a roofrack and a 550kg trailer.... I think its somewhat unlikely that an LT snapping would cause the valve gaps etc to change! :roll: More likley that he knocked the dizzy slightly and change...

Well, its improved. Not a lot, but now driveable. Still rough though.

Think the HT lead touching the block might not have helped

So I need to set the points gap I think. but no idea how to do it.... Can anyone suggest how to do it in idiot terms? And whilst I'm waiting for a feeler gauge (lost mine) is there something else I could use in place... She's running like a dog and I think its where the RAC bloke remade the LT lead ...

Shall I go to the naughty corner now?

I really dont see what all the fuss is tbh, I'm quite a light sleeper and turned in between midnight and one both nights and slept almost immediately...

I'm yet to find a photo that contains me, or my car

I feel the need to point out that the ambulance was not actually for a member of the young owners register, it was a young lady who tagged onto the group and got herself exceptionally intoxicated. The actions taken by members of the register to get her sorted out were absolutely correct, finding tra...

My car was sold to me by a one post wonder, and no problems with the sale at all.... There are various websites specialising in classified ads for classic cars, a quick google should reveal all on that front. obviously, keep your eyes peeled on the for sale section here too personally, for a van tha...

Just for the record, On the way too the national (heavily loaded car, and heavy trailer tent - wouldn't want to go any higher on a minor) cruising generally at 50ish apart from in the heavy traffic I got 31.9 mpg. Based on brim to brim and mileage off google maps. Way back (with a roof rack!) it wen...

If you are thinking of a zetec, then you are going to be popping halfshafts long before you knacker the diff. The normal approach is to borrow an axle off an early escort...

I was going to say it was you! But then I thought it might have been your wonderful springer who was running the stall

The young owners register are a good bunch. I camped with them this year and it was good fun.

You can't get much geekier than a young enthusiast...

Of the options you presented, normally option 3 is the best. £5,000 is a strong budget and you should be able to find a traveller in tip-top (albeit not nessecarily concourse) condition for that sum of cash. A very quick look on ebay reveals this, which is maybe a *little* overpriced imo, but gives ...

Stop moaning about the southerners! I spent £80 on fuel and had a combined round trip of over 11 hours this year - 5 there and 6 back...

Scotland Street, Brighton. Approx 8.30am

Traveller under a cover

And about 2 minutes walk down the road? My car!

I'll be there.... on the back of an AA truck if needed

Due to life, the universe and everything, I'm now not 100% convinced that I will make it. If I do I should hopefully be arriving not long after Steph...

And the MOT result....?

Dont know if he's top 10 at the moment, but Koybayashi would be ruddy good fun
