Morris Minor Owners Club

Does anyone know of a reputable moggy garage in the Northwest of England, I usually do the basics myself but I’m in the middle of a big project at the moment and don’t have the time plus I want my moggy to have a thorough check, so anywhere from say Preston going north up to like Kendal area would b...

Having done some investigating it looks like the leak is at the speedo cable attachment

thanks geoberni that’s helpful

geobernie posted an additional comment about he noticed in my picture the gearbox steady cable looked loose, I’m due to get underneath the car at the weekend and sort a couple of things this is an addition to my list, Having not adjusted this cable before can anyone give some tips/advice on what to ...

Ah ok I will take a look tomorrow

Thanks again for your help

Thanks for your help not having much experience with gearbox and certainly not leaks with regard the picture just to confirm
The area I’ve highlighted in yellow is the bung and the area highlighted red is the split pin

Sorry don’t think the photo attached to the post

I have noticed a small oil leak on inspection it looks like the drain plug from the gearbox, it’s tiny about the size of a tangerine I’ve tightened the plug slightly but I’m cautious in case it sheers off , Should I just leave it and keep an eye on it or grasp the nettle and tackle it full on? I’ve ...

The sills are in good condition I might do some remedial work then fit sill finishers, with the small blistering on the bottom of the door is the process the same low grade sanding + wet&dry,primer, top coat? I don’t want to get into major work if I don’t have too

Sorry I forgot to attach a photo

I’ve noticed a couple of small rust spots on the N/S sill it’s what I would call surface rust, my moggy is kept in a dry garage,
What if any is the best remedial work?

I’ve noticed my D/S door is slightly out of alignment, is this just a matter of loosening off the door hinge to realign?

A similar thing happened to me, in relation to work that was not agreed or authorised I would question that and if not have it written off certainly a big reduction at least, the other option is have a reputable mechanic do a report on the work and cost, If a mechanic finds additional work which doe...

Thanks for that Mike, on inspection that’s what appears to have been done the dot fasteners have been replaced with stud fasteners, I might replace them with new dot fasteners
Thanks again

There are only 2 lift a dot fasteners in the kit, the rest are press stud fittings

I am in the process of fitting a hood cover in the fasteners kit is a ‘lift dot’ top&flat plate to fix the hood to the side of the car, The fasteners for the hood at the moment have the normal stud fasteners, Do I really need to use the lift a dot fasteners or will the normal stud version suffic...

Your other option is if your a member of AA or RAC they offer a vehicle inspection service and supply a report for you,
When I bought mine it was located a long way from home but I made a day of it and went by train it was worth it to view the car in person

I’m not sure if someone is pulling my leg but I’ve been told if you want to clean out your cooling system effectively drop a dishwasher tablet in the radiator and run the engine until hot this will clean the system thoroughly,
Anyone else tried this?

Just to clarify it’s the actual horn I want to replace not the horn push switch on the steering wheel

I am thinking of upgrading the horn on my moggy, is this a straightforward job I’ve not had a look at it yet is it just spade fittings? any advice much appreciated
