Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi,
I have a used but working sealed beam unit plus new bowl, rubber gasket, inner holder, wiring harness, spring and adjusters [2] and a retaining rim in fair condition but no outer bezel. Also 2 headlamp peaks [new] for sale. Looking for £50 for all.

Hi all, I would like to find out any information on my Morris Minor [ YPC199G].I will contact the normal places but would like to hear from anyone in the club who might know something about a possible 20 years in storage or a possible make-over sometime in the past.

Hi, To answer your points: 1. Removed and cleaned. Didn`t seem very dirty and no signs of rust so replaced as is. 2. Didn`t realise this was the PCV valve. Handbook says emission valve. Anyway, took this apart and cleaned everything. Diaphragm is flexible rubber with small hole in. Waiting for stock...

Hi,

Appreciate your help with this.

Hi, I have recently purchased a 1969 minor saloon and am experiencing oil leak from rear crankcase seal. I have been cleaning/ replacing breathing items to improve this but nothing is working. Have read about the PCV valve and would like to try this next but unsure where I need to fit it. I have 109...
