An Invite for a Drive this Saturday in Norfolk

Please allow me to extend an invitation to join our local MG Owners Club Drive Day this Saturday. We will meet at Lynford Hall, just outside Mundford, Norfolk, around 10 am and set off at 10:30. The first route is about 33 miles long, a lot of it on back country lanes (all paved) and we will end up ...

So, where exactly, are the bullet connectors?

Might these be at the end of the green wire as it fits into the housing assembly? I don't have a new one to look at (there is/was a liberal coating of waxoyl) and the bullet connection location is not apparent to me.

Like I said, sorry for being thick...I'm not quite tracking on the earthing bit... The car is a positive ground. Would I run the wire from the positive cable to the indicators? Next, I'm unsure where to ground to the indicators. There is only one wire to each lamp. Thank you for your continued patie...

I'm puzzled...I've removed the indicator housing unit from the front of the car (it is still connected to the wiring). I have power going to the assembly. A test light (the kind that has the alligator clip on one side and a pointy end w/a lamp on the other) shows a soft glow in cadence with the flas...

Well, the "fix" was not a fix. I get nothing at the right front light unit. No blinking of the light, no matter how much wiggling I do at the bulb. Wiggling used to sort the issue, but not now. I did use penetrating oil, and there is springiness to the assembly, but no power to it. May I a...

Rupert-

I'd be grateful for you to change your username. I've been wanting to change my username to RupertBrisley but never got around to it. Now, it seems, I'm too late.

Upcoming Classic Car Drive Day-Morris enthusiasts invited

Hello all- Let me pass some details onto you about our Norfolk Area MG Owners Club Drive Day on Saturday April 18th. Meet at Lynford Hall in time to get photos taken and a route map. This, again, will be less a formal event and more of a lazy parade of cars all ending up at the same location whilst ...

Well, if the fix is indeed short lived, then I will surely ask you how to fit a new "light unit".

Brilliant forum...thank you again

And it's not the flasher unit. It was a poor connection at the front right light. It's almost like the "springiness" of the socket has worn off. A liberal coat of vaseline on the base of the bulb has returned the flashing.

Okay. I've replaced it with several new ones...no luck. I think all the connections are correct...it just sort of quit working the other day. It "sorted itself" when I removed the right rear tail lens the other day. I had the lens off, got distracted by SWMBO several minutes, then turned t...

Indicators revisited

1969 Morris Minor 1000 Hello again. I thought I had this sorted, but was incorrect. My left indicators work fine. The flasher relay ticks nicely and audibly. The right indicator does the following: The green lamp on the indicator stalk briefly winks once The relay makes a fast "fluttery" n...
