Looking at the position of the starter motor it appears that it would be easier to tackle this from und...

Burning Oil/Smokey

I am burning oil at the rate of 1 pint per 250-300 miles. The exhaust is a bit smokey (blue/grey). The car runs and sounds ok and as I only use once a week for short trips should I worry about this?

Many thanks Alex, I've located it but it was tucked under a rather large hose which isn't shown in your engine bay. Filled it up now.

WINDSCREEN WASHER BOTTLE

Hi, just got my first Morris 1000 after months of looking. The water has run out of my washer bottle and I can't find the bottle. The manuals mention the bottle but don't say where it is located in the car. Help please.... Thanks
