That will be the issue, the nuts are knackered! I have already had a go with a wire brush....
thanks

Personally I would go with the Marina based kit every time. Cheap to buy and cheap replacement parts if required. Big Red is a good source of parts especially stainless steel calliper pistons. Parts will be around for some time yet. I have Marina disc brakes on my Minor and they do what it says on ...

I did the same job on my Minor 1000 fairly recently. I certainly didn't consider a rollover jig or removing the engine both of which would have taken many more hours. I had to remove the engine mounting of course and supported the engine in situ. The car was jacked up high enough to gain decent acc...

Given the engine is very close to and mounts on the chassis leg I would take it out first, with engi...

The longer you leave it the better adhered that graffiti paint will be. You’re certainly in no hurry

Been on their about 10 years I dont think its going to get any worse!

thansk everyone, I will start on this job soon!

Just ideas these before I get flamed for speculating. Is the fuel stale? This modern fuel seems to only last a couple of months. Is the fuel pump working properly? Easy to check by removing the fuel hose from carb and directing to a container then turning on ignition. You don’t mention any work on ...

Whilst agreeing in principle, most owners probably started knowing very little about the mechanics of their Minors, but with time and guidance have (or can) become perfectly proficient in maintaining their cars.
