Re: Heavy rain - car not working :(

Also - how many fuses are there? We found the two under the bonnet but I am sure I have read somewhere else there is one more.

Re: Heavy rain - car not working :(

Also - gosh I am sorry about all these questions - what is the best manual to help me fix her? Is it a Haynes, is it the pdf from dolphnproductions (lots of diagrams in the back which I am unsure which are relevant to her), is it one from Amazon?! She is a 1967 Morris Minor 1000 2 door salon. Thank ...

Re: Heavy rain - car not working :(

Also ivebeen told not to drive her in the winter if salt is on the road....by my mum (she owner a classic) - what do yo...

Discovered now rear lights, side lights, horn, flashy light thing on end of indicator stick not working, light in speedometer not working and only one dash light (for indicators) is working. Headlights, brake lights and indicators on t...

Re: Heavy rain - car not working :(

Thanks for all your replies, it's so helpful and encouraging.

She drove fine earlier home but then I realised the rear lights and side lights are not working :(, and the horn and the indicator stalk.....Lots of fiddling this weekend me thinks.

Re: Heavy rain - car not working :(

I am wondering if there is anyone in the Clevedon area that could go through simple things with me?

She has been working fine when the weather was dry so that is why I thought it may have been the weather :/

:) Thank you for all your help.

Re: Heavy rain - car not working :(

My husband just went to her and she started up first time. After 10 mins is still running lovely. I don't have any mechanical experience so any advice is welcome. My husband will do the wd40 today. I was thinking that maybe it was because I started her up and then just drove - should I be leaving he...

I bought Doris on Sunday - love her - booked her in at Charles Ware to get her checked over next week. Haven't had time to get a cover (BIG MISTAKE)...it ra...
