Morris Minor Owners Club

I have 13" wire wheels fitted to my minor, that apparently came off an MG Midget many many years ago. Anyway I noticed that one of the hubs has a slight buckle so want to replace it, I thought I had the correct one but what I have and what I have purchased are quire different. I can't seem to f...

Hi, Yeah I’m aware the pin won’t go backwards, but I’ve bashed the rear suspension arm as hard as I can with a drift and big hammer but it just won’t shift! So I can’t get the pin out to replace the rear bush. My only other option was to remove the torsion bar from the chassis fixing. So I’d need to...

However, I’m still not sure how the torsion bar can be removed from the back if the pin is stuck in the eye at the front..

Trust me I tried! I have it the boot and a half! With some big hammers and a drift but it wasn’t going to budge. I’ll leave it soaking and try again but otherwise the only option I see is to cut it out and replace it.

I also can't figure out how to remove the torsion bar from the rear end, I can remove the large nut, but hen what? It looks like the bar has to drift ba...

Hi, I’ve noticed a clonking sound when driving my pickup when loading/unloading the engine, and I think I’ve narrowed it down to what looks like 30 degrees of free rotation on the drive shaft. I think this is supposed to be in the realm of 2 to 5 degrees? I’ve taken a look at the UJ and it looks sol...

This pickup belonged to my dad and I, but it’s just been passed over to me. It’s been stood 6 years but got it running almost immediately! Can’t wait to drive it again :) Needed to fix a fuel leak, bleed the brakes and new battery. But it’s running and moving again! Next is the usual filters and oil...
