Morris Minor Owners Club

Phil wasn't sure from the pic what the seal was and was just guessing, would also be easier if op said what it was :tu1: I'm with you on this, I'd never have guessed that it was anything to do with a clutch, since the Minor didn't have one as built. My first thought was a brake slave cylinder, then...

Thanks for the correction about the humped cover :tu1: and the info for the op. How did you identify mine is a recon pump? The documentation with the car has a garage receipt that just says replacement pump fitted. Is the aluminium tag that says electronic not SU/ Burlin original? Just based on the...

The car was equipped with seat belts. I want to install them now, but I can't figure out which is which. ... The front left and right are the same and not mirrored. They should normally be mirrored. This illustration you've posted is for the Drivers side (in a RH Drive). Note the way the buckle sit...

If standard the pump is under the bonnet, passenger side on side of battery compartment. It has no fuse with ignition on 12v to terminal and make sure earth is ok. With ignition on give it a tap and see if it starts clicking, it has points that maybe stuck. Mine is electronic type as it says on lab...

You can find it here: Datei von filehorst.de laden Download available after 15 sec. It's a pdf-data, sized 1.3mb, 28 pages. If you don't trust the newish internet-download-witchcraft-kind-of-thing, please feel free to contact me, I'm going to send it to you :D Alex I've just look at the hosting sit...

Still waiting for it to arrive, but noticed today that with one side of the indicators activated on the stalk, pulling the Hazard switch makes the Hazards work, even with no flasher unit in it, and the two wires just left in mid air. Any thoughts? As I mentioned back in October, original 70s units ...

I was looking for some general purpose grease today, found some and noticed printed along with other stuff, that it was usable up to 5 years from manufacture date. I didnt know that !! Yes, lubricants etc have a shelf life. When I was in the RAF (heavens knows what they do now, there's so many cont...

One more comment that some don’t know/understand. DMMs rely on the internal battery (usually a 9V PP3). Readings can (and will) be affected by that battery as its voltage reduces - giving incorrect readings. I think you're potentially causing undue concern, since any reasonable quality electronic d...

I thought that the rear bearings were lubricated by the diff oil. Yes, as originally intended and designed; but I imagine the bearings we get now, just as with the bearings fitted 70 years ago, are simply the appropriate size, 'off-the-shelf'. Bearings back then were always supplied as made, for lu...

Modern bearing are often packed with grease and 'sealed for life'; on the principle that if it's sealed the grease can't escape, so reducing maintenance and the chances that it will fail due to lack of lubrication.

I'm not by any means knowledgeable about aftermarket Tachometer installation, I've never had one, but that Red wire which is presumably power worries me. As an electrical engineer, I dislike cables wound around other cables like that, it's creating an electromagnetic field; probably too small to int...

Shoes with large flat to Fixed Block and 'pointy end' to Piston :tu1: Springs behind Shoes with 'double coil spring to Piston side :tu1: Beehives fitted :tu1: All looks fine to me. The first time I did my brakes, I messed up and fitted springs in front of shoes,... but only on one side. Must've got ...

The analogue one shown should cover all your everyday needs. Some people have difficulty reading/understanding the multitude of scales shown on the face of an analogue meter.... The fuse in most digi multi meters (DMM) will only protect the low current circuits (often 200mA or 400mA range) the high...

£16, that's a high starting point.... I totally understand your confusion as to the wide range. There's obviously the bottom end of the market, shall we say under £8 on the ebay price scale.... At the bottom end of the price range, it's probably not got a replaceable fuse inside it and the quality o...

I understand your need for the question, it's not an obvious thing when researching it.

So you have a 4 dr, just look at some images of a 2 Dr rear for comparison. As panky has surmised, you'll see the 2Dr is a squared off fit to the side panels.

Let’s also not forget the fires caused by the batteries exploding. Numerous house fires and a few weeks ago an E-scooter caught fire on the platform at Epsom station. Had that been on a packed train it would have been disastrous. Stephen A lot of the problem with the privately purchased ones is the...

According to the Parts List, it wasn't a PCV, it was a VBC.... Valve - breather control ...

For some reason, the pdf I have of the AKD 3541 doesn't have the illustration to go with the list, I guess that page had been lost, but the parts are listed.....

In the East Midlands this morning, it was announced that 'Trial Scooters' are coming back to Nottingham after the previous Scooter provider suddenly closed down in December. The Scooters will come from the same company that are currently providing the e-bikes in the city. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/...

Back in 2018 when I was having 'dead ignition' issues, although that was eventually traced to an intermittent Coil, I found that the Diaphragm on the Dissy was leaking. I ordered one from the ebay account of a reputable Ign parts supplier. The hole/thread in the Adjuster was crooked; I had to swap t...

If I remember, it was illegal to park on a road without lights then. These overcame that requirement and were perfectly legal. I believe parking lights were required on unlit Road. These days we don't realise, or remember if old enough, what road conditions were like 60+ years ago. The National Spe...
