Here is the cheapest with free delivery. http://www.ctyres.co.uk/partsa.php?width=155&height=80&rim=14&proceed.x=47&proceed.y=18 Good spot. Their fully fitted price of £39.30 probably can't be beaten either. I've bought Toyo's from camskill before as they were cheaper than a certain...

I've got the sealed filler cap/rocker breather to carb setup but my slight concern with this arrangement is how well the cap seals. The ring on the filler neck doesn't have much of a flange on it and I had to pack out the sealing washer on the cap as when twisted on it was a very loose fit providing...

Didn't we have a discussion a while back about being careful where you secure the brake pipe on the rear axle with copper pipes? This was due to the rear cylinder moving up and down and so flexing the pipe between two effectively fixed points and causing work hardening.

I always forget about the postage.
I make my own as well after getting some made up pipes that had single flares where there should have been doubles....

Please allow me to blow your bugle for you Sparticus. 65p cheaper than Ebay as well.

Thanks for the link. I wonder if those double grease nipple trunnions have a second groove or are just simply another nipple drilled and tapped..

Yes, this really is the key. Grease goes in much easier then. There is a sweet spot when the trunnions have no load on them. I also grease twice, once on each opposite lock to try and get the grease in more evenly. Bottom trunnions seem the hardest to achieve this. Don't know if the double nipple tr...

Yes, I bet very few do a fluid change at the recommended intervals. Although some poor souls probably do a complete fluid change when they have bleeding problems.

Just replaced a rear brake pipe and the brass union snapped off in the rear cylinder, surprisingly easily. Came out fine from the brass union at the other end though. Steel bleed nipple had seized in as well. Replaced everything with lots of red brake grease on the threads and a silicone hose end ca...

I would think that the 91v is a safer tyre at 130mph than the 91H, being more within it's capabilites at that speed.
What about tyres on the same axle with one at maximum tread and one at minimum tread? Or one tyre with a wet grip rating of A and another with G?

But when viewed through thick cloud......

Have a look at this thread surfergirl, loads of info and measurements etc. http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=23093&p=497318&hilit=volvo+van#p497318 Looks like volvo 244's will fit. I looked at the lcv register site (http://www.minorlcvreg.co.uk/forum/) but it seems to have been ...

There is a test and rebuild thread on the other side...http://morrisminorowners.co.uk/viewtopi ... =20&t=6429 with nice pictures.
If you google lucasfault you will find the lucas fault diagnosis PDF document to download for all the electrics.

Ah, think I only had the gearbox supported not raised. Will try engine only this week and compare to box and block removal last time....

Is there a knack to engine only removal and is the gearbox left completely alone? I've tried a couple of times but can't get the engine far enough forward to come out. The sump hits the front cross member before the clutch cover is clear of the first motion shaft. Does the front of the engine need t...

Are you looking for a free option? Check with your bank Mr BMC. Some of them give AV software FOC. As a starter, Barclays offer free Kaspersky with internet banking..

That's so well done and useful. Thanks for taking the time and effort to produce. Just think how many questions and protracted explanations on the forum you will have saved.

People usually take grapes.
Is this a first for the MMOC forum, someone posting from hospital? Get out of there Mr BMC and back into the garage..

Nice one MarkyB, just got one to 'adjust' some plaster coving.

That looks very similar to the one above. Even the thief looks the same unless he has a twin but then that it as old excuse.
