Yeah, second hand but it looks great and is much better than the colinder that turned my moggy into the flying scotsman

Hi there, does anyone know any rad repairers in the Midlands area (preferably near Stoke).
Mine has sprung a small leak, ive tried Rad Weld but its not helped, I can only do about 30 miles before I have to stop an top up!

After much WD40 an under the breath swearing I finally got the tank cracked open and she looks like a surgeons table inside, amazingly clean

Hi all, Just to be clear, you are all MORE than welcome to turn up on the day. It's £15 per car but if you are camping that's extra of course.

If there is any doubt as to the condition / thickness of metal of the receiver tank have the receiver tank professionally hydraulically tested. I...

Ive also rethought step 1 in my list...... build a trolley so I can ruddy move the thing without putting my back out!

Thank you for the links!

The Morris Maria/Ital workshop manual is well worth having as it goes into a lot more detail than the Minor wksp manual and specifies engine torque settings which are not quoted in the Minor wksp manual. The Marina/Ital parts list is also useful if you want to upgrade your Minor using Marina/Ital p...
