Morris Minor Owners Club

Yeah your right about the tank and think ill be half filling it till i get round to replacing it. One thing my mechanic did find was the coil was already connected to neg earth not pos. Could this be a reason why the condenser is not discharging right? The car has now been converted to neg eart and ...

Iv not got round to the old engine yet but i will do sometime in the near futre. If im honest, i dont really know if i needed a new one but the thought of a possible rebuild costing £££ i thought id meet it in the middle and go for the new engine. Got it for a good price and fitted for a fair price....

I know you say you have old cars so you know what you could be letting yourself in for but thought you might find my story interesting to read. Started out as my £900 bargin.....

I used ' FORD - Diamond white ' from halfords. Its the same colour they used to spray transit vans and works well.[frame][/frame]

Iv been told my car is still pos earth so need to change it over at some point. Altough i thought it was already changed over because surely the battery only goes in on way?

My car was parked in the front of a garage for just under a week before i decided what i was going to do wit it. When i went to collect the manager of the garage said he gets asked every day more than once if i was selling.

Quick update- the Car is now in Wooton Bassett waiting for the new engine to be fitted, I got it towed in the end. As for the old one which went bang, that one was was low on compession on cylinder 3 and they didnt want to look any further than that. So still no reason as to why the big bang. Next t...

The garage its at now dont want to do the work but are more than happy to charge me a load of money to drop it off at my house but not happy to take it to when i actually want it to go to be looked at, 10 miles aways to a place that are happy to see it. Im rea...

Post is about 60 quid. Seems like a bargin to me? or am i missing something?

Yeah the car had about quarter of a tank of fuel in it, when i left the test centre i filled the tank right up to the brim. 23 litres worth to be exact so a full tank. The tank has leaks at the level of the boot im guessing because this was the first time i ever filled it up. My car isent MOT exempt...

Yeah im thinking ill just get the new engine to put in it. At least it has a MOT now tho.

My car passed its MOT after loads of work and welding was carried out on it. After 2 months of owning it i finally got to drive it for the first time. I was the happeist man in the world, for about 30 minutes. I didnt even make it home from the test centre. The car was so slow i knew something wasen...
