Here is an example of quotes going wrong. They had already gone wrong in the post I quoted but even though I made sure my post was after the quote it did not work properly...... [ Cor,,,, :lol: , the Chamois leather sponge .... that just brought back memories of having to do that in my 1st cars ain...

If you are going to use the car in the winter, then electrically heated front and rear screens. Good demisting = improved visibility = improved safety. My Minors have always been kept outside, so on a frosty morning,plenty of scraping. With heated screen, go out, start engine, switch on screen. By ...

Many have replaced all of the bulbs. I didn’t go quite that far but did everything except the headlights. Duncan at www.classiccarleds.co.uk was a great help. I’ve used their leds in the Morris, MG Midget, Land Rover 90 and Volvo V70. Fantastic customer service! For the hazard lights we have a Luca...

It has the front One's , so was going to fit some for the back seats too

That’s an interesting point of view but if you want reliability, leave it as standard. Regarding safety, well if the car is being upgraded performance wise, bigger brakes etc should be a thought. All these mods are down to preference really, however if you go too far, not much point driving a Minor...

Sort of following on from my previous Thread .... can you tell me what the Best Upgrade you have done to your Minor that has made it so more reliable and safer to use that my still original 1970 saloon would not be fitted with .....I have seen that there are quite a few like electronic ignition , al...

Just got my 1st Minor (1970 saloon) in need of a bit of TLC , just wondered what the best thing you bought / got to make life easier for jobs needed on a Minor . Be it tools , jigs , manuals , something you wished you had got sooner etc and what is was and why ? A Battery cut-off switch to save bat...

Good luck with you Minor :tu1: It's only an opinion but don't get too wrapped up in originality rather than usability. Unless of course showing it is your main aim, rather than the fun of driving it. [ totally understand , not driven one before but see the "upgrades " that are available ,...

After a lifetime of ruining bleed screws and brake pipes I bought a brake pipe spanner. Essential!!

Thank you everyone who has sent in their replies , their are a few things that I already have which is great and some that have gone on the " Birthday / Wish List " . Nice to have people to ask and get help from . The Minor I have just got is a 1970 2 Door Saloon in Smoke Grey that has bee...

I don’t think the items mentioned apply solely to the Minor, more to the everyday mechanic. In fact I can’t think of any specific tool unique to the Minor, ———(is there?). Considering the OPs past, I would say he would have all the tools he needs,—— well maybe some imperial spanners. [ You are corr...

The actual BL/Morris Minor Workshop Manual; it always surprises me, particularly on Farcebook, how many people attempt doing significant jobs, even such as working on their brakes, without having a clue about the topic, because they don't have the Workshop Manual. You can buy bound, hard copy new r...

The extending bonnet prop that enables the bonnet to be opened to near vertical. Improves lighting of jobs a great deal and prevents hitting your head on the bonnet. I fitted this a few months ago after 36 years of hitting my head. Should have done it years ago..... Stephen Definitely will have one...
