Morris Minor Owners Club

John O Groats to Lands End? :) I'm sure that the MMOC have organised several such trips in the past. Let's not forget the MMOC's charity end-to-end run in a club owned car, which visited every branch of the club, piloted by ordinary club members (seen here with cheesy grins) and raised £40k for Mar...

Monty-4's list of barriers for a young person owning a classic car was pretty comprehensive - I can't really add anything fruitful. What I will say is, that in the last fe...

Asking for a Coventry Branch member.

If anyone remembers it please do let me know!

Yes, absolutely.

That's really sad news, RIP and thanks for all the advice.

Well depends on who you ask how north is north I do like a drive Harrogate or Leeds or the borders, Selkirk , the lakes The Lakes would be an excellent choice! I agree, it's a long way south! But we mind driving the least, and some of our Register come from the Isle of Wight. You'll never please ev...

Hello all, We're holding a rally at Gaydon this Sunday, and would love to see as many club members as possible come out and support the Young Members. We'll be there from 10am, looking forward to seeing you. Liam & Young Members Register[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1475143743_20967...

Did a neat enough job for me.

Is M8 a 13mm spanner? I think that's what I used!

FYI it is the cast steel clamp you want. I agree with Dale, they're brilliant, although I admit I did use paste to be sure.

Sorry to hear this awful news. A similar thing happened to me in October, I was shunted from behind by a Fiat 500 driver paying more attention to her SatNav. Luckily (for me) she was being followed by a police traffic car, who witnessed the whole thing and ensured that the claim went through without...

The latest copy of Minor Matters might be useful!

Congratulations on reviving your branch. We too have recently done the same in Coventry. Best wishes!!

Can anybody comment on the quality of new 'British Made' brake drums that one can buy from ESM and the like?

Or else, a good source of NOS ones?!

Congrats to all involved in organising the Leicestershire Branch Rally at Quorn and Woodhouse station this weekend. Not only a super location, but a good turn out and kind weather. A very good rally with lots to see. Kudos.

I have spent far too much money with ESM in the last 12 months! I find their service very good, much better than BM who I used until they supplied me with a faulty "new" radiator.

I've got a set of ESM engine mounts ready to go on actually - am I asking for trouble??

This thread says they are 2BA: http://mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=57871&p=536829&hilit=2ba#p536829 Good luck with it. The studs usually break off if the nuts are stubborn. Don Hello, As far as I can see, this thread says that the studs on the hockey sticks are 2BA. I am interested i...

Providing that you have a engine hoist you do not need to remove the front panel if you are just going to remove the engine. In short term - remove radiator (though engine can be removed without removing radiator) - pull engine forward - turn through 90 degrees and lift out.[frame] http://mmoc.org....

Hello, To facilitate a clutch replacement, this weekend the engine will be coming out of Charlie. This means I will finally have to liberate the front panel, which has been riveted one side and crudely bolted underneath. Said bolts have since been covered in underseal or otherwise rounded/ruined by ...

I have fitted a couple of these. Engine runs alot smoother and more responsive. On the 1098cc i fitted a 45d for mini with gold coil. Once fitted and timed up they are practilcly fit and forget. You need Neg earth. if not already been changed. Alex I echo this. Ignore the naysayers. Although carry ...
