Morris Minor Owners Club

Just had a wee look around and came up with this. Could this be an answer?

I have always thought that the sidelight goes out to allow the sometimes very small indicators to be seen clearly. Also, I think it is only courtesy to use indicators at all times, when you are changing direction. From a safety point of view, you may have missed a pedestrian or other road user (low ...

Hi there Davidmoore - If you "Google" oxalic acid you will find plenty of options and as always they range in price (even available in B&Q), but hopefully you will get your traveller looking the business.

I think that I will go down the line of new SU "points" pump. That click click is somehow reassuring that it is actually working.

Thank you guys for getting back. So far I have been lucky and Monty has kept on working and I have started saving my pennies. Going to put a new SU and get the kit for the one I have so I have a spare. It is great the amount of knowledge and experience we have here and I for one am grateful for any ...

Hi there folks. I had minor problem with fuel pump (sticky points) and have considered that at Monty's age (56) I might just change the fuel pump complete and have looked at SU vs Hardi on the ESM website (I trust ESM and am sure they will be selling the correct Hardi pump to suit the pressure needs...

Self taught to use an arc welder back in the 1970s and 80s - well sort of. Rusty Minis, Minors and Escorts gave me plenty of practice back in the day. My welding is not exactly pretty, but they are strong and MOT passable. Arc welders are not expensive and do not take up to much space, which can oft...

Thanks guys - I heal quickly (which is just as well). Great sign! I should get a sticker of that to put on my grinder. I found getting the new bolts reasonably easy to get back in place. I used a small crowbar to move torsion bar a bit and got them in ok. Bleeding is a pain but pedal getting better ...

Well there it is - We have all this great advice on looking after yourselve when welding, grinding, cutting. What did I do yesterday?? Yep, you've got it in one - I was merrily cutting through the master cylinder bolts on the moggy (which has neen put on the wrong way round by a previous owner and w...

Good job on the teardrop.

As someone who had a blowout on a caravan, I can vouch for the need to remain within the weights recommended by the Caravan Club. I was driving a Rover 200 series (Diesel) and my caravan was a 4 berth and well within weight limits. 60mph on nearside lane. Offside tyre of van blew and pulled car almo...

Hi there everyone - Happy New Year to you all. Have been checking and there is slight weeping from master cylinder and one of the rear wheel cylinders (thank everyone for the advice about soft brakes etc). Have decided to replace both rear and master, as well as all of the flexi pipes. The metal pip...

Hi there ladies and gentlemen, Hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas and all the very best to you all for 2024. I have a two door saloon and my beloved and I have a difference in height (no she does not tower over me!! lol). I was fine with the wing mirrors fitted to Monty when I bought him,...

My Moggy is a female who is presenting as male (comfortable with things lol), in these enlightened times (Had name "Monty" when I bought him, er, her, so stuck with it). However, her curves are just to die for and she is truly gorgeous, she can be a diva at times and dare I say it has been...

I am commenting here just to bring this thread back into the fore, as it is important that the people who assist, are being recognised (manners cost nothing). I have asked some questions, been given good advise and would never consider not thanking whoever helped - If I have inadvertently missed any...

Thank you on the heads-up on my use of MM as an abreviation of Morris Minor - It was definitely an oversight on my part (who said my brain was unplugged AGAIN! lol). The brakes strangely enough, were down to the vacuum pipe not being tightened properly. I tightened it and hey presto, they worked pro...

Thought it might be fun to see what newer Moggie Enthisiats think of their cars in a single word. I can think of a few for Monty:-
Fun
Retro
Simple
British
Iconic
Have fun folks.

Although technically Monty is the second car in my family (The Boss has an Evoque), he is on the road 4 days a week on average. I wanted a classic that I could drive, not just one to sit and admire, or wait on the price going up (I could have made a 50% profit if I had wanted to thanks to an offer t...

A&D Fraser - Now there is a blast from the past. I remember, when I was a youngster in my early teens, they had a garage in Portland Street in Kilmarnock (approx 21 miles south of Glasgow). Old fashioned style of garage, which like most of the old garages of the area are now long gone and sadly ...

Just recently fitted a bag with electric pump combined kit, which had switch and wiring (£13.98 on e-bay). Easy to fit (I managed so must be easy) and worked first time. Fitted to big space on bulkhead and looks like it has always been there. Not a lot of pence for great performance and the Tudor bo...
