Morris Minor Owners Club

Hooray!! I hope to see you then

Hello all, It's not a moggie only event but anyone who turns up in a classic gets free entry & should be quite a fun day...of course slightly weather depending! :roll: I've added the flyers to the post...here's hoping it works, Katt [frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1392812560_19293 [/f...

Thanks guys, advice taken, its not like we need a new engine but as it was a freebee and we do a tonne of fully laden motorway miles it was worth looking into how straight forward it could or couldn't be. If anyone is looking for a mini engine let me know!

The original poster, after being very confident they were right......fails to come back in any way after we have made enquiries/looked up parts prices / spent time researching etc etc and come to the same conclusion that it just isn't practical.... Oh dear - I'm not sure why I bother.......... :cry...

Thank You for the input I'm sure we sound like complete novices unnecessarily biting off more than we can chew but we have been given the engine and would like to make it work if possible. A sort of challenge that has been set for us. Any advice will of course be appreciated along the way. So if we ...

So apart from the gearbox mounting problems what is the actual difference between the two engines and why cant it be adapted to work? apologies if the answer is obvious.

Im sure this has been endlessly covered on here but searching the word "mini" and "engine" is of course bringing up many non specific posts so i will just go ahead and ask. We have been very kindly donated a very nice 1340 A series that was taken out of a mini and we want to use ...

Hello all,

I'd love to be considered if this is happening again next year! Morris event with tea and coffee from a Morris Traveller

The oil light was on before we changed the oil!

I may look into the sensor then, thank you!

Uh-oh, sorry if it's the wrong area for this question. But advice needed pleasseee, the oil light on my traveller is staying on, I've changed the oil filter and the oil and tried to clean the sensor, I'm wondering if it could be something up with the electrics? but is there anything else likely to b...

This event was great! Thank you for posting on here! I had much fun serving some Morris' owners coffee!

Thank you again it was a great little outing! http://24.media.tumblr.com/8a6d9b8fda21a50db65f262d6a16a03f/tumblr_mtizxkZeaR1qzkw7qo1_500.jpg Picnic time, the only people to not bring fold out chairs - rookie error! http://31.media.tumblr.com/2a1c2c147d7917a2daeecd08a4826cb7/tumblr_mtio3rGwqM1qzkw7qo...

We went to this too, it was a quiet one, but relatively pleasant, the DJ using two portable gramophones & 78's was pretty awesome. http://31.media.tumblr.com/2053f50fba03438afc38ab2e4b88db97/tumblr_mswm6dJnIF1scn1iyo2_500.jpg http://31.media.tumblr.com/b1a93f07de3d39f531751f1e73b9c47e/tumblr_msw...

After all those suggestions I don't blame you if you conclude that the Minor is unreliable. :D It gives a false impression because they are very dependable. The main reason for carrying spares is peace of mind and the knowledge that in those rare cases the Minor is easy to fix. I agree, i feel like...

I have a set of points, a rotor arm, , set of spark plugs, a condenser, some copper grease and exhaust paste, Throttle return spring, clutch return spring, cable ties, gaffa tape, fan belt, electrical tape, coil , fuses, and a dizzy cap. Tools: Couple of screwdrivers, Hammer, selection of spanners,...

Brilliant, I'm on my way to the right track then, thank you!

Just wondered what are your essential spares and or special handy tools that you never leave without might be?
Things that could be the difference between getting your car home or not?
being a fairly new morris owner any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks guys i will change the speedo cable this week and hope that it solves the problem.

Is it really that shiney or has the "starburst" effect on the bonnet and bumper been added later? But very nice :) its just a star filter on the camera lens that makes everything look outrageous. I need to start planning some free time to make it to an event befor the winter come back aro...

haha yes the needle, that would be a cause for alarm
