Hi All, Could someone tell me what is the best way to replace a core plug. The faulty one is out but the replacement has convex concave sides and im uncertain what way it should go in. Also what sealent should i use on it. I did try to fit it but when i filled the rad the water pushed the core plug ...

Probably been off the road for a while previous to 1980 then re registered with a non transferable reg number.

Might be worth doing this as the car has sat for for a while. Also might be worth draining the fuel tank and replacing with new fuel as it doesnt take long for the petrol to go off. I am currently restoring a car which has sat for 10 years so its a case of unseasing lots of components . I find its t...

Not if you buy the one fron BM the superior 3 piece one. Highly recommended.

Hi Bretta, Once you have got the brake drum off remove the brake shoes making a note of which holes the brake shoe springs are located. Then i would inspect the wheel cylinders for any signs of brake fluid , even if there is the slightest trace i would replace then i would try to move each piston . ...

Hi Bretta, Sounds like a sticking wheel cylinder to me. You will need to take the front brake drum off to inspect but slacken off the brake adjusters first. If you are not mechanically minded it might be worth getting someone who is. Im not that far from you.

Hi All, Today i noticed my car was starting to overheat.When it cooled down i checked the water level ,it was very low i also noticed that there is oil within the radiator so suspect head gasket failure is it just a case of replacement or will i need to flush out the cooling system to get rid of the...

What a saloon or your traveller? From the chassis number it is around the last 7000 made so was sitting around somewhere for even more time than first thought. They must have really struggled to sell the last cars.

Why has this post been moved it isnt a "do you know" more of a "have you got" and there are plenty of those on the general discussions section.

Oh yes course it is.

I find it easier to take the distributor out. Less chance of losing a nut or screw.

[quote="mike.perry"]I wonder why it was not registered before that. When was it built? I assume Mike it must have stood around a dealership for quite a while and probably sold for alot less than list price. By 1971 a new Morris Minor was probably not on many customers shopping list. Does t...

Hi All, Ive just acquired a 1971 Almond Green saloon which was registered on the 16/3/71. I know production finished on the saloon in Nov70. Has anyone got a saloon registered later than this?

When i started this post i was only asking for some advice. I was expecting some debate on the pros and cons of disc brakes. The vehicle in question is a Morris Traveller which i have recently acquired. It had disc brakes and a servo already fitted so im not going to remove it and revert back to dru...

Hi Jonathan, From the receipts the disc conversion was purchased around 2000 There is no JLH stamped on the hub.
