Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi, Need some advice tips etc, I have stripped my rear hubs down replaced oil seal and bearings, but I am struggling to get them back in fully :x . All that has happened when I have pushed them is it has pushed the bearing out of the hub by a few mills. :evil: When I removed them I used a puller, ca...

Hi My truck is currently in a mechanically induced coma and I need some advice/help/indication of cost. Her A-Pillar/Door Hinge Pillars are non existent at the bottom. Has anyone had these replaced? How painful to the wallet is such a job? Has anyone used the Morris Minor restoration chap at Witchfo...

Hi David
Mines a guinness! If you want I could put some of my restoration pics on, that should keep the heat off you for a while!!
Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the diagram, it appears to make sense, will give it a go on Thursday and let you know.

Many thanks

Hi Last year when I took my engine out, I carefully photographed which wires went where, unfortunately it has taken several months to get the engine back in and the quality of the photos taken bear no real resemblance to reality. Can anyone help? I need a picture of the wires which go from the start...

Looks good, you are very lucky to have the original rear. My pick up is more like a chassis cab at the moment!

Hi Chaps Thanks for the tips, I will give them a try. :D The small tap type thing seems like a connector of sorts and moves from a 3 o clock position to a 6 o clock position. It is situated on the bulkhead side of the pump underneat and to the right of the contact on the end. It probably does nothin...

Hi my fuel pump is now starting to annoy. It has always clicked but now it does it pretty much all the time, or it just stops for no reason, no noise nothing. Any ideas? I also have a small tap type thing on the end near the wing which moves but I am not sure what it is there for, can't see it in an...

Thanks for the link Nadir

Must be nice having a pit in your garage!

It would be nice, I agree, unfortunately I only have some metal portable ramps to elevate her so its not that great.

Thanks to you both for your replies I will make sure to be aware of what you mention.

Hi My pick up has a non standard buck and when it was restored in the early 1980's the back of the cab was cut near the bottom. It looks like this should be one complete panel covering the back of the cab, with the rear screen in it. Does any one know if you can get a repair for this or would it nee...

esm do the rubbers to go at the base of the wiper arm where it joins the body for 35p each, as my moggy leaks from there too.

Hi all This is my first time on the mechanical site and just for the record I am not a mechanic! My 1968 pick up Molly needs to have a new clutch. I have the replacement clutch and been told a method of fitting the new one without popping the engine out. As my buck is non standard I have been able t...

Thanks chaps, will put them on my christmas list, shame though only just replaced the lights and the headlight buckets. At least it won't take very long!

:lol: :P 8) Old cars are great! It would appear that whoever had checked the dynamo in the past had failed to notice that the oil pressure switch was connected to it and not the dynamo, so when I replaced the dynamo and labelled the wires I continued the problem. We did need to adjust the voltage re...

Thanks again.

Molly appreciates your help

Cleaned up all the connectors I could find last night and put the battery on. It is registering 12.1 with the voltmeter, so I am guessing it will be the voltage regulator. Thanks to everyone for sending me help. Another quick one for you, my brake lights have a mind of there own but the haynes manua...

Dynamo is brand new, the regulator seems to be one of the few bits left to check.

Thanks

The frustrating thing is that the red light comes on initially then goes off when driving indicating to me that all is well, but when the lights are on it seems to fade but stay on. I guess I should onlydrive it in the day!!! I am checking the output tonigh - with a bit of luck and no doubt keep you...

Hello my 1968 pick up Molly is in need of your help. She has had her dynamo replaced, her starter replace, a full service (oil, plugs points, distributor, condenser etc), her battery replaced, new spark plug leads, and a new fan belt. However last sunday at the petrol station after taking me the 8 m...
