Re: It sputters...it dies

does sound like a restricted petrol problem, maybe a blocked pipe / filter - I see you have an extra filter so shouldn't be after this point?

I would give them a call and tell them a date of a rally you are showing the car at to give them a deadline, (@; This is exactly what I did yesterday morning. This morning I phoned again.

Re: Best place to get parts for minor??

I would think most of the suppliers are on the ball and most parts will come from the same manufacturer - I will also be watching this thread as I am about to have a winter working on my car and have been out of the game for yrs so lost touch with the suppliers although looking on the internet most ...

Re: Lubricating rear leafsprings

I cant see that a light spray with penetrating oil will hurt - hadn't they used to wrap the springs in an oiled material? or am I thinking of something else. I can see the logic why not to get to much oil on the rubber mouldings, as said above dry springs might dampen the ride.

repairer - South Staffs?

Hi,

Might be a long shot but I was wondering if anyone on here knows of a reputable Morris repairer in the Cannock, Stafford or wolves area. I have long lost touch with everyone I knew, thanking you for any replies, steve

Re: head gasket

shocking, £500 for a gasket :evil: I would cut your losses and never return to them but before you do ask for a breakdown of the parts, labour and vat and say your passing it to a solicitor - they should be refunding you not asking for more to repair it.

803cc to 948cc

Hi,

I have only ever had 803 engines and 1 1098cc engine car - I was wondering how much difference there is between the 803 and 948 and what other changes are on the engine, does the extra power make much difference to the feel or running of the car? also does the 948 still use the early gearbox?
