Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks for all the help - my dad sorted it out for us this weekend, and the cable just needed tightening. It was lucky for us that the brake failed when it did, as we discovered that under the carpet the floor was swimming in water! The previous owners had just put new carpet on top when the old one...

My lovely Morris has decided to stop letting the handbrake work. It just slides down steep hills, and as we live on a hill, and most of the parking near us is on one, that's a bad thing.
