Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks guys for the advice.
I think I will leave it as it is….its working fine.

Hi Oliver.
Thanks….yes I do know which is number 1 piston…..(the one at the front)
The rotor arm should be pointing towards that plug (at roughly the 2 o’clock position) when at TDC, but it is at the 10 o’clock position

Thanks Stephen.
I will give it another go

Hi. I am trying to check TDC on my 1967 1098 Morris. Car currently starts OK and runs fine, with no evidence of pinking. All the info I have read says that to position the engine at TDC the timing marks should be aligned, No.1 piston fully up, and the rotor arm should then be pointing at No. 1 plug....

I have tried various tools to remove the hub caps, but now always use the the spare wheel clamp - which seems to work really well. I have some electrical tape on the edge of the clamp anyway, to stop it rubbing on the boot floor and this serves to protect the wheel when using the clamp as a hub cap ...

About 18 months ago I used Coychurch Garage (just outside Bridgend) to fit ESM marina discs and a remote reservoir to my Morris.
They were very helpful and did a good job. It took just over a day to do the work.

Hi all, thanks very much for your comments. I have a confession and apology ……..I submitted my initial post without checking the car, and after managing to wrestle the car from my daughter today I realised that it has a black face speedo and fuel gauge fitted, not the gold type! Apologies for the co...

1966 2 door saloon with gold speedo and fuel gauge. The needle on the fuel gauge moves properly when ignition turned off/on, i.e. the gauge reads empty when ignition is off and when the ignition is turned on it moves to between half-way and full. It reads full when tank is full. My problem is the fu...

Thanks, will take a look.

Hi, my 1966 2 door saloon has rusted through the forward part of the boot floor at the sides, above the axle bump stops, immediately in front of the rear chassis rails (the area where the three domed areas of the floor are).
Is there a repair panel available for this particular area?

I have used 4mm plywood with black vinyl stuck to it. Really pleased with it and has not distorted or sagged yet. I used a large bit of cardboard to make a template, then transferred that shape to the plywood. If you stick black vinyl to the plywood ensure you leave plenty of vinyl to wrap around th...

Following advice, I rechecked and cleaned the pump points. I also cleaned up one of the mounting point holes to ensure there was a good earth. Checked pump power supply ….no problem. Checked earth resistance….no problem. Then checked the carburettor float bowl….empty! Blew through the delivery hose ...

Thanks for the advice Stephen…..will give those suggestions a try

1966 two door saloon with a 1098cc engine and standard carb. When this first happened I removed the fuel hose from the carburettor and turned the ignition on….there was no clicking sound from the pump and no fuel came out of the hose. When I tapped the fuel pump it started clicking and pumped fuel o...

Thanks for your replies guys.
Just to get this straight in my head, I use the Lockheed brake master cylinder with a non-vented filler plug and remove the seal as shown in the diagram….is that correct?

I have just bought the Marina disc conversion kit from ESM, along with the remote reservoir and the Lockheed master cylinder (as the advert for the remote reservoir said it was not compatible with original pattern master cylinder). Is there anything else I need before starting this project? Also, I ...
