Morris Minor Owners Club

Thank you for the link I guess the question I have is if running wires direct from the battery to the two spade terminals on the wiper motor, do I also need to run a wire from the battery to the self parking mechanism to check if it is working? If the bushes in the motor are worn would this stop it ...

Thw wipers aren't working. There is 12 volts to the input side of the motor. I have cleaned the self parking mechanism and the contacts and regreased the mechanism. I have tried taking power straight from the battery to the terminals on the wiper motor and there is no sign of life coming from the mo...

I was wondering what people use for holding there mobile phone 9iphone) in their Morris. I guess a windscreen suction device is the easiest but wondered if anyone else has any good solutions? TIA
ps Photo would be helpful.

How often should the oil be replaced?
How much do they hold?
Finally what is the best way to drain the old oil?

Thanks

Thanks guys

Thanks Rob, does that mean removing the master cylinder then?

Can anyone advise how the Brake Header tank kit is fitted? Where does the reservoir need to be fitted and how is this plumbed into the brake system?

Many thanks in advance

Thanks all for the advice and information. The Alternator is putting out 14v when the lights have been left on and charged the battery to 13v. Previously the voltmeter in the car would show 13v when the car was running normally but is only registering 12v now, a separate Multimeter is giving the res...

Thanks Bob.

Yes it was an alternator for alternator swap. I was basing my comments on the voltmeter fitted in the car.

Not sure where/ how to measure the voltage output. Can you advise?

Thanks

I have just fitted a new alternator from Bull Motif. The new pulley is smaller than the old one.

It is charging, based on the Volt meter but doesn't seem to be charging as fast as the old one did. Will swapping the pulley over solve the problem?

Thanks

Has anyone got and hints and tips in fitting new front seat covers, padding and straps? How easy is it to do a good job on them?

When Branches have had their events and collections is it best to pay the money into a members account so that they can then pay the money over through "Just Giving". If they are a tax payer then they can increase the donations by 20% by using Gift Aid?

I have just used TRG Vinyl Paint in Scarlett to recolour the Cherokee Red seats in my minor. It is an excellent colour match.

About 6 cans of 150ml will do all the seats.[frame][/frame]

Has anyone fitted LED lamps to their Minor? If so which lamps did you replace and where did you get them from?
Also how effective are they?

Thanks

We meet the fourth Tuesday of each month at the Coach and Four in Wilmslow (next to Sainsbury's).

We have a meeting tonight 23rd august if you can make it.

I have a Marina 127fcc engine fitted (engine number starts 12V), can anyone suggest the best thermostat housing to use, the one it has fitted has a large spacer fitted with a hose outlet fitted, and this has a blanking hose fitted which is starting to crack. Will a standard 1098cc Thermostat housing...

The Ship was closed for refurbishment and we found a much better location at The Coach and Four, with a bigger room and better facilities.

The paint work on my convertibles rear 3/4 Window frame keeps catching when the hood is raised or lowered. I have seen Stainless Steel frames which would stop the problem and in deed match the door frame. Does anyone know where these can be bought?

Thanks
