Morris Minor Owners Club

It's from a chap off EBay. Initially he had just the engine, but when i mentioned my predicament he said he had the gearbox that was attached to the same engine, so for a few pounds more i could have them both. He has a good selling/buying background and telephoned me twice for a considerable amount...

Well i have totally given up with this garage now! I have just bought a reconditioned engine and gearbox and i am going to collect it tommorrow evening. I will then take them both to the garage so they can swap them both over. I hope this is something they can do. I only owe them for transporting th...

I haven't told you what the garage has said because they haven't said anything. I visited them and they said they are busy. I am tempted to buy a replacement engine and take it to the garage and tell them to swap it over.
Oh and as for the releif valve they said 'What and where is it'?

Colinp, Thank you Colin for your input, Much appreciated. While i appreciate i know nothing about Morris Minors it makes perfect sense in what you are saying regarding cost effectiveness by replacing the engine rather than spending x amount on the existing one. I keep saying it but the engine has on...

Don't say that!!!

(re:kevin) Very true regarding the hourly rate for some garages. While i appreciate London prices, here in this part prices come very close to that figure. I drive an expensive rare Lexus and have to take it to the Nottingham dealership should a problem arise or i require a service or part etc. Anyw...

Well its been 1 week now and nothing! Garage hasn't rang me or nothing. I wonder what they are doing? If anything! I hope they aren't fixing it then presenting me with the bill!? Or fitting a new engine.
I will of course keep anyone who's interested posted of new (if any) developments.

In reply to previous comments, Yes the numbers match up. Original engine with 47,000 miles. 1st problem i have EVER had. The engine is NOT dead. As stated prior i ran it and started it after the zero pressure. It sounds completely normal until you rev it then you get a noise. £600? Wow!!!! Have seen...

As stated prior they came to pick my Minor up yesterday morning (Monday) It was put on the back of a pick up. Engine was NOT started. I went to the garage in the afternoon to check progress and all they said is 'Yes your right there is no oil pressure' Of course i knew this. I asked if they had a bu...

Thank you VERY much for ALL replies to my problem. I have booked it in to a garage. They are coming to pick it up this Monday (10/7/06) It is a family owned garage that has been there for many years. They told me that they knew alot about Morris Minors, so i'll know more on Monday. I will comment on...

I have done the obvious and checked the oil, as suspected it is full. There are no leaks and the ground id bone dry. The vehicle has only done 47,000 miles as stated prior. I checked all the fuses and wires/relays and they also appear fine. I started the vehicle very briefly and it sounds ok until y...

The engine is (was) in tip top condition. There is NO leaks anywhere. Certainly not any oil leaks. The sump is full of oil and dip stick also reads full. As stated prior i haven't a clue. Light came on i had to get home (5 mins away) that's pretty much it. A friend suggested oil pump??? Is this poss...

Hi, this is my 1st question ever so please excuse me if it has been covered previously. I've got a 1965 1098cc Morris Minor which has done 47,000 miles. Genuine. Today the oil light came on and stayed on. When i drove it the engine was noisy when i revved it or revved it high in gear, so i changed i...
