You’ve never come across an idiot ‘he’ ? :o :tu1: On the same stretch of road I saw an old 12 plate Ford Galaxy do the same thing. Except she tried it with a 40ft HGV. She went from being in front of it to behind it..... I did wonder if the 2 women were just bad at driving in convoy...... :-? :D

I'm currently on a short break in Norfolk having brought our modest 3.2mtr 2 berth caravan here behind my Ford Kuga. The caravan is so light it's like pulling a medium size trailer. On the way here along, twice the same driver pulled the same stupid stunt. Single carriage way A Road. In front of me,...

That is definitely in the OMG category. I can't speak about any particular manufacturer but as a generalisation that sort of pump are rarely suitable for a Classic with a carburettor. They just spin like crazy and usually deliver far too high a pressure for the Carburettor float valve to deal with. ...

Sounds like the pressure switch contacts... I hate to mention it, but I was also at the Rally yesterday and noticed at least a couple of the Traders with collections of used original Oil Pressure and Brake Light switches. With hindsight, I'm wondering if I should have brought one or two, 'just in ca...

Crystal Ball time, with a fair bit of logical thought process.. :wink: On refitting the Speedo, you've clearly disturbing, i.e., breaking a connection at the Voltage Stabiliser, that's why the Fuel Gauge isn't working. However, Instrument Lights coming on, well that connection to the Voltage Stabili...

From the sounds of it, the car is suffering from wiring neglect, which is very common symptom of the age of the vehicles and the lack of understanding of the care and maintenance that previous generations applied to these vehicles. The fact that the pump runs when off the car, is 100% an indication ...

I think it's actually a wise move since " Martyn's Law" recently came into effect following the Manchester Arena Bombing. I haven't looked into it in detail, and as always the 'devil is in the detail', but I know it does include 'premises' that have no building, i.e outdoor events... https...

I suppose this is going to drift off a bit, however it’s not possible to find out why things are done, even those that do certain things can’t always say why. Some people care/think others don’t, it’s in their make up. An example, flying in an airplane, some people think of what’s going on, what’s ...

Their desire to drive oversized vehicles. There’s a museum in London featuring a WW one armoured tank, it was smaller than most of the monstrosities on the road today. Weird isn’t it, more vehicles on the road yet, ——- can’t be seen in a small car. We have so many 4x4 Pickups in out rural community...

Has everyone received their tickets? Still waiting for something here. I booked online and just received this notification. "Your rally pack and event information will given to you upon arrival." So I'm assuming just 'Rock Up', someone will check you are on an access list and direct you t...

Have you got any information on your lifting gear Stephen, looks a good piece of equipment! I brought what looks like the same as Stephen's levelling bar from Fleabay 4 years ago. Cost me £23.59. Identical looking ones on Fleabay now from £20. Engine Leveller Crane Hoist Chain Load Garage Lift Load...

I've just re-read your post and realised you said AND, there's no 44XX number on the dial..... or did you edit that bit too?? Oh well... While sorting through my accumulated parts last night, I found that one of my speedometers is marked for KPH instead of MPH. It's unfortunately missing it's needle...

What's the SN44**/** number?

I'll see if it's in the AKD 3541 manual.
There were something like 14 or 15 MPH Speedos, and about 9 or 10 KPH ones, just on the Minor 1000 S3 & S5 models.

Isn't this Morris Minor Owners Forum that you posted your question on? How did you post without logging in? The Morris Minor Owners Forum in question was set up around 2010 or perhaps earlier, long before my time here, but I believe there was a falling out between certain people in the Minor owning...

I suspect that the unsual list that are found for dating the glass are a little vague as to when they started from. They work for my car, a 1955, but when did they start...??? The system pre WWII was different and continued until 1950...(ish) If you see this link, the pre-war system continued until ...

for the national do we need to bring any proof of ID or is the fact that we have pre-registered all we need I image some sort of ID may be advised. The reason for the security is that the Fire Service College site also includes the Defence Fire Training School; so there is a need for extra security...

Oh dear.... Why do people not have the workshop manual.? IMHO, over half the time on youtube, the people doing work on cars are winging it because they haven't read the book.... Rear Window.JPG Download a copy of AKD 530 in pdf and follow the instructions. . . Edited because I mistyped "haven't...

OK, thanks guys, the consensus so far seems to be for tubeless. I will order the tyres myself as the 'manager' of the tyre place had "never heard" of Blockley tyres and when I showed him the link he said he would have to charge a 'handling fee' if they ordered them, because they weren't o...

From what you have said, its a fairly safe bet that your are running your Blockley tyres as tubeless - yes? You got it. :tu1: Well, I have to say that I have run Minors for years in the past without inner tubes - and without issue. Not sure why my current car has them other than that's how it was w...

I can't speak for exports, as it would depend on local legislation, but UK Home Market Delux models had them factory fitted from 1961. They only finally became a legal requirement in the UK in 1986, but had already been fitted since the late 1960s in most cases, probably due to laws elsewhere. Tudor...
