Within 20 miles from my address please.

Hi Benno, no, not like them....well, sort of. :-? The fittings on those Moon discs are the same though, and that's the problem, them there teeth fixy on things, not the centre of the wheel as such. Yeah, Van rims most likely are my answer, has anyone got one (fairly near to me) so I can try please? ...

Hi, no, they are not like those, but the fitting will be almost the same as those, ie, push fit onto the rim. Im not sure if I can give you my website on here, but if I could, there is a photo of some on there. They are the type that covers most of the wheel. The hubcaps fit on the rear wheels ok (J...

Thanks for the replies. :D To be honest, it's not the centres that are causing the problem, it's the rims. The teeth thingys that hold the hubcaps on are sort of bottoming out because the rims are'nt wide/deep enough. It's not the kind of hubcap that fit's on the centre bit but one's that grip insid...

Or, does anyone near to Cheshire have any Van wheels for sale? I only need two. They may be the answer to my problem, but, to be honest, I wont know till I try a disc on them. Thanks, BillyG

Hi, do any of you folks know what wheels will fit the Minor hub? They have to be 14". The problem is I have some nice, new hubcaps from the states and they wont fit properly. Many Thanks, BillyG

My Van's called Albert coz it's old.

Hi, if you need a pair of Jag seats, I know a chap just up the road from me who's selling a pair. They are a biege type colour in leather, not ripped and are electric reclining and have a mechanical lumber support. One of the fancy walnut drinks tray things is missing from the rear of one of them. I...

Hi, could you tell me who RH is please. That sounds a great deal. Thanks.

Hello all, just a thought, would an extra gear help the mpg? My Van, when I bought it had the original diff in and I always thought it sounded like it needed another gear to go in when I was going about 45mph approx. Someone suggested I put a saloon diff in, I did this and it seems to be better but ...

Thanks for the help and tips folks. :P I have packed the hole with some stuff that looks like two different colours of putty that you mix together, and then covered this with some stong glue stuff thats a bit like Araldite but isn't. Seems to be holding up at the moment :wink: Of course, I have info...

I didnt really need another hole other than the ones that are already there; It was an accident whilst I was drilling up into my floor to fit an exhaust bracket.

The acid went in my drill and over my hands...not nice! Other than that, it went on the floor. All cleaned up now but still got a hole in me battery.

Hi Folks, I have drilled a hole in my battery....as you do. :cry: Not on the Van, on my Hot Rod..anyway, the hole is underneath the battery and my question to you all is, what can I use to fill the hole with please? The hole is about the diameter of a pencil. Thanks nicely and Happy New Year to you ...

is it when decelerating or when the brakes are applied? Hi, only when decelerating. I think you guys have narrowed it down to something in the engine as I have checked and double checked all the things youve suggested regarding mounts,road springs etc. Maybe I need a Minor owner to drive it and the...

Thanks folks. Distributer out at the weekend to check. I know the noise you mean, I call it the George Chishlom sound. It does that thankfully. No, this is a judder rather than a noise. But, I'll firckle with the dizzy and see how I get on. Thanks again. Billy

Hi, dashpot topped up, checked axle and engine/g/box mounts, all ok. Yes, when I rev it up stationary, all is nice and smooth and responsive. It runs fine, its only when I back off the accelerator on the road that it does the thing it does. Thanks for the advice though chaps. Just thought, this is t...

Hi all. I have a Morris 1000 Van, (Albert) standard 1098 engine, and when decelerating out on the road, he does a hunting, juddering,kangerooing type thing but if you accelerate, he goes all smooth again. The points and plugs are new and the carb is 1 year old. Any advice will be listened to and act...

Why oh why didnt I join the MMOC years ago! So much better than my workshop manual. Thanks again folks, Billy (step aside Wile E Coyote, I'll catch that Roadrunner for you) Gibbons.
