Morris Minor Owners Club

Hello, one day I decided to turn the heater off, and it seems that I can't push the knob back. Whatever I try, it just pops out. What happened? Thank you.

There is like 2cm play until brake is applied. I was quite happy with braking strength, much better than when I received car first time. It seemed all springs are on place, but will test them and drums when car comes back from welder. Thank you.

Problem fixed. Car just got 128/127 score on rollers.

Hello, I got car ready for MOT with all things fixed. It is just the front right brake. When pedal is depressed it is impossible to move it to one point, where the wheel just slips 1/5 turn and locks again. Adjustments does nothing - there is always a part of wheel that slips when braking. Problem d...

Those guys are awesome! Thank you so much!
Did you happen to see greenish, gutted Minor around in those areas?

Hello, I am looking for welders in Manchester/Stockport area, do you know anyone good and cheap? My car is 4 nut sized holes in underside, and passenger floor away from MOT. Unfortunately tester found my cheap repair, and my friend is away to fix it... I need car done in 10 days from now on. Thank y...

I have took everything apart, and plugged all red cables off from the position lights. So far cut half of the wire loom apart. There are 3 cables going from the parking/head light switch and the blue one is not the case, as pulling it off do nothing. There is red/green and brown/blue to check. And i...

Hello, it seemed that I fixed all the problems, but now flipped the parking light switch, turned indicator on, and everything came to life... All lights are flickering, rear and front, every in different way. I don't know what to do anymore. Disconnected the front light, and they are not the case. R...

Thank you for that one, I completely missed it.

Ok, I have sorted registration lights as well... But problems did not disappear. Turning the new side light cover right makes the parking light blink with indicator on, turning it back left fixes the problem. In first case the amperometer goes crazy, and turning the main lamps makes indicator blink ...

Found the front light wires in poor condition, somewhere near this part http://puu.sh/c0poa.jpg, rewired and got like 10.98V - 3V when indicator is on. Realized that side light components are in poor state as well and bought new ones, as they are not earthing the bulbs properly http://puu.sh/c0ozS.j...

Hello, I bought the multimeter, and found the source of the problem in the rear. There was random fluctuations of voltage in one of cable section, so I cut the cable sleeve apart and found various cable cases melted and glued to each other (What is the reason of that happening?). I cut the bad parts...

I secured earth near right rear lamp, the one from boot cable and one from registration light to the car body. Made sure that amp meter one is tight too, because I fiddled with it. No changes. Just realized that speedometer light blinks with indicators...

Hello, I have connected all lights like they should be, by color. Now it looks like that front right indicator + parking light are not working at all. Rear right brake light is not working. Indicating right makes all rear indicators turn on. Left rear indicator stop light blinks like indicator somet...

Thank you very much!

Hello. Could you help me please. I have just came to the part, when all wires needs to be put back where they belong... I lost the photos however, and I'm not really able to remember how the rear lights were connected. I have 1970 Morris Minor, and the wires look like this: http://puu.sh/bJQb5.jpg G...

Hello, I have just changed whole brake system (piping, lines, washers, cylinders). Brakes work well. No leaks. However, when car stands for some time, brake pedal goes to the floor with no braking, and than if used again it's hard again and stays hard. It's coming back when used after some days. Is ...

Almost there. Morris looks quite terrible, but I'm putting it into the rolling restoration state, as it just sits in garage, and I have to use boring diesel car all time.

I have started building my own. http://puu.sh/bk0bt.jpg The mockup came first. http://puu.sh/bk03y.jpg And now this, but I'm quite lazy and it will take me a lot of time to finish this. I'm planning to give it a bit sharper lines, yet complying with the body. Oh, and it was first day from 5 months w...

See http://www.morris-minor-conversions.co.uk/#/Alexander-engineering-co-ltd/4533581178 for a photo of the Alexander Minor boot lid conversion. Looks a bit like a bustle on a Victorian ladies skirt but better looking than the 2cv boot extension. Hi I have this Boot Lid on my car. Gives you some mor...

Spotted pink one in Stockport, near Manchester.
