Morris Minor Owners Club

you mean RainX I find it works ok and lasts about a month theres also an anti mist stuff by them for inside thats quite good for old cars with not the best heaters are the springs on the wiper arms tight ie will they spring back onto the screen with a thud ? if not the springs are probably stretched...

manufactured on 10th November 1955

totaly irrelivant but your car is 19 years and one day older than me

pm me yor number Rog and I'll ring you over the weekend for a spanner

Hmm I suppose this means I need to buy a 47mm socket to change the hub bearings on my 68
although I may already have one from doing something else so I'll go hunting before I buy one

its the main beam or high beam switch ;)

I generaly end up with a few bits after a short while of ownership and for some reason a donor car or two normaly seem to appear ;)

when its mot'ed and being used maybe ;)

I wont be even jacking it up without the bearing kit being here in my hand ;)

smashing its on my watch list but I'll hit my local motor factors tommorow with the qh number ;)

is it realy as easy as this little minor manual says to remove the halfshaft ? http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b310/16vbanger/00000197.jpg as my drivers rear wheel rocks like a wheel bearing loose on a fwd car if it is that easy how much is the bearing and where from :D I dont have an haynes just ...

yup I'll unplug it and leave it where it is and when I get rid the new owner will be supplied with the original alternator ;) I understand the originalist owners sort of but me myself could'nt give a monkeys about originality ;) I just love driveing classics but want some modern'ish comforts espicia...

ah so the soloution is to fit a modern alternator and wire it accordingly thats cool I have a decent alternator somewhere from a mini ;) it was the rest of the car that worried me ;) I'll just tuck the original wireing out of the way and leave the control box where it is and put the alternator in st...

mine wouldnt start earlier due to damp in the dizzy after me degreaseing the engine yesterday

would this pic help identify the alternator ?


and whats this ?

smashing thats exactly what I needed I knew it was simple but as I say I could'nt remember

so does anyone know whats entailed in makeing it neg earth ? I vaguely remember being told its a simple job of flashing it to be the way I want but I dont remember with enough detail to go out and do it I need to convert as I have a whole heap of smiths gauges and I want a rev counter and temp gauge...

well I'm glad the votes are saying the minor is very reliable as I hope mine will be too
as I said earlier I cant comment on my minor with only owning it since saturday and only driveing it half a mile
I hate the way modern cars drive so vague and disconnected

I rekon most mini owners issues are caused by the lack of maintance and plain and simple tight fistedness as for the past 8 years I've been driveing mini's and have not broke down once my current 72 mini was with the old owner for about 10 years and he never missed a day off work while he had the mi...

How Reliable would you say your minor is as mini owners moan like the A series is unreliable whereas I've found the A series to be virtualy indestructable

what a shame I just sold all my metro turbo spares I could have made it fun with a dump valve :lol
