I would prefer a steel one if anyone has one available?

Hello All

Does anyone have available a front valance for a 1967 Traveller at all please. I am in Devon?

Many thanks
Ruth

Hi All

I have referred to our local MOT man and he has explained that the area where holes may be drilled in floors/sills etc should be very much restricted or the vehicle may fail it's MOT!

Ruth

the rearmost lower floor of the boot Wise advice - if water collects in the boot floor it then fills up the rear chassis extensions - making the rear shackle pin area corrode away (where the spring attatches!) Which area of my Traveller would compare to the parts of the saloon you mention please? R...

so don't be afraid to use a 6 to 10mm drill and add some at all the low points - just be careful not to get water in the drill whilst you do it!! :lol: One comon area for water to collect is the box section under the rear seat. If you are lucky the water will drain into the raer footwell and althou...

There are many places through which water can penetrate on a Minor, from the window rubbers downwards! I would start by thoroughly clearing out the various drain holes in both the sills and the doors while you are at it. I also wouldn't,personally, ever wash a Minor using any sort of pressure hose....

Hi All We have been servicing Dolly the Traveller today and as well as an oil change and the usual stuff have had her jacked up first front then back changing brake shoes and doing a lot of general greasing. She seems to be taking water in *somewhere* which is running into the area I would describe ...

Thanks for the tip, have checked the earth contact and it seems O.K. The new pump should arrive tomorrow. If I buy a second hand spare pump how do I go about replacing the points, and how on earth do I set them up??
;-)

Ruth

Many thanks all for your input and help everyone, I have ordered a new genuine S.U. pump from Bull Motif and will let you know how I get on with it

Thank you
Ruth and Dolly

Hi thanks, I have priced a new S.U. pump and it is not too expensive it's just that I wondered whether the technology was old hat now and perhaps not so reliable as a more modern design?

Hello All The fuel pump on my 1967 Traveller died on me this morning. I have only had her 2 weeks and wonder whether I should put an S.U. pump back? The pump that packed up was a german one that the previous owner had fitted? Are the S.U. pumps easy to fit and maintain or are they old hat now? Many ...

[quote="twinkle"]Hello Ruth -Sounds like fun and games at your house-buying a traveller means that life will never ever be the same and when out and about your car will certainly turn heads and you will notice how many people will smile We also have an old Mini Cooper S which has the same ...

The bottom of the door should have drain holes, and on many cars the door bottoms have just rotted out...[/quote] I see! I will have to be very careful when washing Dolly then as I usually use a hose pipe<g> These doors have been replaced in the last two years and seem in fairly good condition. Shou...

Hello All On my Traveller front door handles I have a gap where they fit which I don't believe should be there? The chrome handle leavers within an elongated chrome oval plate which has a rectangular section cut out of it. However there is quite a gap in this area which would let water into the inne...

Sorry Twinkle, forgot to mention I am Almond Green in colour:-)

Dolly

:P Ruth Congratulations on your purchase of a Traveller a wise choice -but then i would say that as Twinkle my Traveller in my eyes is a kool car and she knows it, well she is a very vain car,What shade of colour is she-he and of course have you or your husband given she-he a name-(well one you cou...

Many thanks, will contact them.

Ruth

Many thanks, will give them a call.

Hello All Can you tell me please if it is possible to obtain the "felt" substance that sits inside the channel that the rear windows of a Traveller run along? The metal channels are still in good condtion and I would prefer not to have them removed unless necessary. The felt inside them ha...
