Morris Minor Owners Club

Have just noticed that one of my indicator lens has come off, must have been there for mot, I believe this is what's known as "teething trouble" does anyone knows they can be purchased separately or will I have to buy the full unit?

After more years than I will admit, I finally have a morris that is legal to drive on the road. It's a 1968 two door in trafalger blue, have given it quite a refurb, all welding done, 4 new steel wings, engine rebuild, new shells, rings,oil pump, water pump, electronic dizzy, duplex timing chain, al...

Hi again I am looking for a mechanic used to working on Mogs as I have a rebuilt 1968 2 door that wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. I have tried all the usual things so now just want the thing running so I can M.O.T. it and either live the dream that I had when embarking on this project, or...

Took for a little drive today, takes an age to pull away will not pull under revs wondering if I set the tappets to correct distance 12thou, I have read on site that it should be 15' could this cause these problems?

Have serviced the carb, new needle valve, valve seat etc, put back on the car, started no problem but still lacks power on driving. Checked tappets and adjusted, only one tight. Am thinking it must be near now.

Have recieved my su service kit from ESM today so tomorrow will strip card down give it a thorough clean and replace all the bits in the kit then take it from there.

Will keep all informed, when running two sill finishers to fit, then M.O.T. time

Thanks Marky A few answers, brand new electronic dizzy, advance retard pipe intact and connected. Valves and tappets set when i rebuilt the engine have had it running and driving since. new petrol, What I did notice is that at the petrol pump inlet side i have clear fuel line and it seems to have a ...

Hi all, I have finally got my moggie started but it will not tick over, have run it to operating temp but still no tick over, revs quite high but when i try to drive it doesnt seem to have enough power to move the car and it just drops the revs and cuts out. Any ideas greatly appreciated, failing th...

Thanks for all the advise will try fresh petrol straight into the carb on Sunday.

Thanks for replies, I am sure that timing is ok as I used the rocking valves on number 4 pot while no.1 piston at top of travel method, fresh fuel direct into carb barrel, and even tried eazistart, initially coughs and fires, no tickover. Have rotated dizzy while cranking it over to no avail.

I am throwing myself at the mercy of members, I have been restoring a 1969 two door. I have rebuilt the engine and have had it running and driving up to 12 months ago, have come to start it and it will not start, have checked the coil (never the coil) and that's all OK, have static timed it new poin...

HELP now at breaking point!! Fitted new master cylinder today, spent an hour trying to bleed with easibleed, no joy, tried normal bleeding no joy. Must have run a litre of fluid through. No bubbles at an wheel. cannot work it out. If anyone can succeed will provide lunch and liquid at camera pub of...

Converted my master cylinder lid to take eezibleed today, put pressure into system went round all cylinders and bled them, no bubbles, good pedal when pressured, no pedal when pressure taken off. I now believe that a new master cylinder is the only option. will order a lockeed one tomorrow,cannot th...

As stated in previous post I am having great trouble bleeding the brakes after rebuild of system, have checked all usual things ( unions, pipes, cylinders etc.) all ok. I have now decided on a pressured solution. I have obtained an Easibleed but am wondering if any member has used one and converted ...

No original was a four door that after replacing floor inner wing and hinge panel got stolen. not heard hide or hair since.

No leaks from any unions. master cylinder seems to spit fluid out of the top if cap left off when pedal depressed.

Can anyone point me in right direction? Have just rebuilt the brakes on my 2door project. New front cylinders, new link pipes (backplate cylinder to cylinder) new flexies, shoes. Axle brake pipes, rear cylinders, shoes. New rear drums, even new retaining screws. released all the nipples, let gravity...

Hi again need some info off the 'wiser ones' Have replaced the brake light switvh on my moggy and now have no brakes, in what order do i ned to bleed them? and is this normal as no fluid was lost.

After pulling my hair out for two days I plucked up enough courage to return to the garage and face my problem. I decided to approach from a different angle so far I have been trying to fit the door to a wrongly positioned hinge panel (pattern replacement) I thought that as i know the door fits in ...

After fitting the flitch repair panel I'm Having trouble getting the hinge post correctly positioned, has anybody got any advice? When wing fitted gap at top of wing wider than bottom, yet door seems to be in place c...
