by the way, "technophob" longsuffering b'friend who has spent 3 days sorting out wiring probs to date!

have haynes, but modifications number many in the last 43 years! thanks have fixed this now through long and tedious process! tackling reversing lights and foglights tomorrow.........wish me well!

A girly tip: Once you have polished the chrome a quick wipe over with a light coating of vegetable oil will protect the shine for longer between polishing. Also if you are considering having them rechromed Maurice had his done to "instrument standard" 3 years before I bought him and they l...

Ooh, that sounds easy enough for even me to try out, will give that a go when Maurice returns from the Health Farm and maybe even find something I can do myself! May even save a bit of money off his bill
will let you know how I get on

hi chris,
maurice has vibration issues too! currently i find holding it still works!! so i will follow this with interest.
good luck

If memory serves me correctly(too many nights!!) the Morris Minor Centre (Bath) have a website that has lists of the chassis and VIN numbers that you can compare to yours. I can't remember the www. address, but if you do a search that should bring it up.
Good Luck

My teacher taught me "righty tighty and lefty loosey"

I agree it does look great. I gnashed my teeth in envy at the bodywork! Mine has some way to go before it looks that good. Would like to post pic of Maurice but have to wait til he has shiny paint and an interior!!!

Thank you from the bottom of my newly cool toes!
Still begs the question,what is my unidentified knob thing?? I shall do some research and get back to you

Grainger,
may be a complete novice but have located choke! I knew that coz had big white "C" on it .
Will investigate both the wheel and the unidentified knob and get back to you.

Now then... i have got an unidentified black ?pull/?push thing under the shelf. I thought that that might be a knob for air shutters, but it neither pushes or pulls! Is that something that I need to check out as well as the wheel thingumy?

Many thanks Cam, will give that a whirl, sounds simple enough...even to me!

Hello all, My 61 traveller heater is threatening to leave me as just a puddle of water with only my tiara to show I was ever alive! :( I read somewhere ?MM mag, that you can disconnect it under the bonnet for the summer. Is this right and if so how do you do it?? Whilst all advice is gratefully rece...
