Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks for all the replies. We will try all the suggestions at the weekend. Unfortunately work commitments restrict me to weekends. We haven't yet flushed the engine or checked the pump - so that will be next. Due to the length of time its been sitting its probably prudent to change the pump, thermo...

Hi everyone - Thanks for all the replies. To be honest we have tried all these suggestions. Earlier today we removed rad top and bottom hoses and gave it a good flush out - it was pretty clean. We also removed heater hoses, flushed and back flushed. I was hoping to see a lot of gunge come out but ag...

Hi all We have been experiencing a problem with the heater on our 67 Morris 1000. When running the engine, with heater valve open, the inlet hose to the heater gets hot. The outlet hose only gets hot, and heater works, if the revs are kept high. When revs return to normal tick over speed the outlet ...

Thanks for the quick response and Photos Phil - very helpful. I suspect you are correct with the large washer. I plan to remove the head to allow easy fitting of the new gasket. Ill continue with the make do spring and replace with proper spring when available and the filter bowl seal. Thanks again...

Hi all. I need some more advice. I drained the engine oil last weekend with a view to replacing the oil and filter etc. I was a bit baffled with the contents of the oil cannister and it seemed the previous filter wasnt doing much of anything. I had a look at other queries here, did a bit of research...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'll get the grease gun out.

Hi all. Hopefully this is easily answered.. We have recently replaced all the brake cylinders, shoes, defective pipe, fluid and the brakes seem to be working. A bit of bother with the bleeding but got there in the end. Tomorrow I am replacing both handbrake cables. One is almost worn through so I th...

Thanks everyone for the replies. Having another go at this tomorrow. I assumed it was a metal to metal fit and was measuring to see if nipple screwed right in. I think Im on the right track now. Good tip on the dust cover - ill get some of these ordered once we have bled the system. Im bound to have...

Hi. Thanks for the replies. I've had another look at this after reading your comments. It seems we fitted the rear nipple to the front cylinder which caused the issue. The nipples came with the cylinders so we didn't specify type. What caused the confusion was refitting the existing nipples to the r...

Hi All. Looking for some advice. Our Morris Minor 1000 has been garaged for around 12 years. Consequently the brakes have seized. All new parts have been ordered and received from ESM. We did get the cheaper ones which one of the posters didnt recommend. Only read this after the parts were delivered...

Thanks for the reply and Link Mike.
Thats really helpful and will I bear in mind if its still erratic. I like the inexpensive and easy fixes.
Cheers again

Hi Bob Thanks for the welcome and reply. its strange times indeed for us all. The update is that the new Regulator sorted the issue. The petrol gauge is now giving an accurate reading. We did check the new Sender with the old. The new one, although a diferrent configuartion, had the same dimensions ...

Hi everyone. Im brand new to the Forum and hoping for some advice. My Dad and I have a 1967 Minor 1000 Saloon which we are currently fixing up. Its SORN at the minute but we have big plans to get her back on the road... We have an issue with the Fuel Tank Sender which appeared to be faulty - the fue...
