Morris Minor Owners Club

For sale on behalf of my father, is his almond green 1970 post production convertible. Very solid car mot until April. Has electronic ignition alternator and servo assisted drum brakes. Very presentable car but would benefit from paint and maybe a new roof as it's more shower proof than waterproof. ...

I recently bought a set of disc brakes for my car which came with two van wheels, after some consideration I have decided I dont need these wheels and am interested in getting rid, the codes on the wheels are LP806A would anyone be able to enlighten me on what these wheels may have been used on and ...

Ive just purchased a mountney gt wheel and would like the boss to make it fit, does anyone know where i can get one with the horn push in the centre? as all the ones i have looked at dont seem to have this feature. any help would be much appreciated.
Regards

Today me and my dad went to start his beloved Morris minor after 4months sitting about, after charging the battery the car burst into life, unfortunately the car revved its nuts off and we have no idea why, we checked the obvious like sticking choke and throttle cables, and also checked the piston i...

A couple of weeks ago i believe i put too much lead additive into the fuel on my car, within a matter of days my car started to miss fire and run rough. so i replaced the spark plugs and emptied the fuel tank which didnt help as it was still running awful. After a close inspection from a local mecha...

hello everyone. thanks for the advice yesterday i have oiled the shaft and the whole of that chassis leg as well. The clutch pedal definately feels smoother as does the brake, but whilst wiggling i did notice that the brake pedal had a little bit of play under pressure. not a big problem atm but i w...

Thanks for the quick responses.
I shall attempt it tomorrow.
Is it quite common then?

hey I was just wondering if anyone has any idea wot might be wrong with mine. because iv been told that the brake and clutch should be independant of one another, except recently i have noticed that under heavy braking and changing gear the clutch pedal doesnt seem to return and becomes stiff until ...

A couple of months ago i had my gearbox completely rebuilt, as gear teeth had gone. It has been fine until recently, it sounds perfect on the flat but if the engine starts labouring up a hill and i drop it down to 3rd it makes an awful buzzing noise that seems to get louder and louder until it retur...

Hi
My car is now finally sorted just one last hurdle. i need an insurance valuation, have you any ideas who could possibly come and do that for me?
Thanks
Tom

Yep its insured, and legal.
but, after talking 2 the insurance company we have been told that to bring the price back up, we need a valuation. So, i was just wondering if there was any chance someone from the owners club could possibly do that or is that not possible.

Hey People. Just to let you all know i have now got my car back and it looks fantastic now its fixed. But i have just recieved a letter from my insurance company, whom i must add have been really helpful. it turns out that because they have paid out the full amount for my car they have now valued my...

Unfortunately, my Minor was written off by the insurance company un economical to repair according, this was due to the fact it would have to go to Telford to get fixed which exceeds the price of the car on transport costs etc. But the upside is that we were given the car back with the full payout. ...

Its the front wing, and back wing on the drivers side. Theres a nice deep scratch on the other wing and the trafficator has been broken. But other than that it starts and runs as it should. We have had a Morris Minor specialist look at it today who says its not structurally damaged, and that he can ...

Hooray sorted the picture problem i mean

Well an engineer has been today, and I am waiting for a reply. No doubt Monday now. Anyway here is a picture of my car. As you can see from the L plates my driving lessons are on hold and I've only just passed my theory test the week before. Tom (p.s. note finger prints on bonnet) http://i297.photob...
