A nice idea and I would be pleased to write such an article but is travel in an old car in western Europe really interesting? I thought that too when I drove mine from London to Munich a couple of years ago. I absolutely loved it but being that I had no major problems, I didn't think it would be th...

Nickol...I was on holiday in France last month and saw this German-registered Traveller on the Ile de Re. You have a Doppelganger ! It looks in better condition than mine and has a red stripe rather than a black one, that mine has. The number plate is interesting. The red colour is indicative of a ...

Gut gemacht, and nice write! We took ours (also a 1969 Traveller) to Perugia two years ago. The car performed fine, even handling the heat without a problem, which is more than can be said of us! Wau! Your journey makes mine seem like a shopping trip to the local supermarket. There used to be a nig...

Thankyou - I have made a start

Lovely! where did you do to?

You should write an article for the MMOC magazine, they are always looking to print interesting travel stories. A nice idea and I would be pleased to write such an article but is travel in an old car in western Europe really interesting? I was thinking of posting the exact same suggestion, even as ...

I'm just amazed at the 600Km (370+miles) with no oil top up :o But them my recent oil leak problem did turn out to be a gasket at the oil filter housing. :roll: Sounds like a nice trip. :tu1: This surprised me too when I checked it and especially after the first day when I did need to top it up. On...

Coincidentally, I viewed a Traveller looking just like yours on Saturday and may end up buying it. We shall see.

Please let us know!

I have always wanted to take my '69 Traveller to Italy where we have a small house not far from the French border. For two weeks in October we did just that; a nice 2000km round trip from central Germany. Earlier in the year there were some engine problems where the timing was incorrect . Last winte...

My 69 traveller in Imperia, Ligurien, italy, yesterday.

In 2019 when I visited England, I saw a MM with thse mirrors and on the passenger side, the arm was extended.
As I also have the same mirrors and in the same position, this is an idea I would like to do myself. But where to get an extended chrome arm from?

Thankyou Stephen for that - definately worth thinking about although I have checked already some time ago that the distributor is the right one a 25D2 or whatever ( going from memory) . I think I will get it calibrated , probably by the excellent "doctor" but only when I next visit. He did...

I thought I might make a further comment on my problem with the cold start as I made a few more adjustment since April which have resulted in much better running and starting. I purchased a digital 5568 strobe light from Equus ( I think it is marked under another name in UK) and what a great tool it...

I have not been online for a few days so missed the recent posts. Thankyou Geoberni for the informative info on fitting tubeless tyres. In Germany the testing is not made by garages but through 3 maybe 4 government authorised testing organisations . The TÜV being the main one. They have a purpose bu...

Only that amount? With our Mafia type organisation, I have to pay minimum €110, albeit every other year. Always my biggest fear is "new" ideas a tester has. I have had for example, failures due to - The standard tilting seats not secured at the back allowing foreward movement in the case o...

Out of interest, what does an MOT cost in UK these says?

Here is a link to some Made in England Minor rear hub bearings listed as NOS. These are the same as the ones I am using for my axle rebuild:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225979768377?_ May I add to this thread with a query? I have an oil leak and have ordered new rubber rings, paper gasket etc incl ...

Here is the link as I could not find a result using the search facility. Ignore the Mercedes reference - the tool fits and I purchased one myself to make sure. The tool has a Minor beehive spring on it slotted end https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326205006995 What a great tip! I have found one here albei...
