Hello all She's going ! Wahooooo ! exposed a bit more fresh wire on the ignition wires, and there was a choc box with some rather loose connections.... had a wiggle and hey presto. tightened up the connections and made sure all contacts are good - ignition switch back in and we're all systems go ! l...

Afternoon People, Well.... i've removed the switch - and whilst i was working out how to do this without a 3rd hand i noticed a wire close to back of the switch not attached -aHAAAA - and when it touched some metal - sparky spark ! good i thought - it's alive and kicking ! Removed and dismantled swi...

Hello again Thanks for all the replies - horn ok (hoorraah!) but wipers and heater say no. She's a 1956 (its nearly her 55th birthday) model and the wiring is some original and some modified - all the more fun to deal with! :o I've had a good look behind/under and contorted myself under the dash and...

Hello - thanks for the replies :) Battery was new last year and she only started up and was ok less than a month ago :( Engine is turning over but not firing, like it's not getting any fuel. I took off the hose linking carburettor to fuel pump - and when engine was turned over no fuel left the pump....

Hello all - hope you can help me with my Series II Flossie. I went to start her up the other day but when i turned my key the ignition light/fuel gauge/oil light did not come on. Starter pull is ok. I have done the following; Charged battery Checked contact points in distributor - all seem ok Checke...

Hello Peeps,

Thanks for all the advice - will be ferretting around to get this sorted asap and we'll be back on the road - if i uncover anything exciting ill be back on the share with everyone

Hello, Hope someone can help me. A couple of weeks ago, nice sunny day, off i go in Flossie i thought - boyfriend pulled the starter switch thingy (i have a 1956 Series II) and the wire snapped. Is it possible to order just the wire or will i need the whole thing? Had a little look on ESM but got a ...

Thank you all for your help - most helpful :D my mechanic happened to be passing this morning so stuck his head underneath the car for me - think a wire had become trapped so wasn't working properly - now sorted. When i get some proper time (i run my own business 24/7 pretty much) will get stuck in ...

Hello there, Have been looking at wiring diagram, and then into my bonnet and can't seem to tally up very easily. note the wiring diagram is for 1965 model - has it changed alot from 1956 or am i being dense ?! :o The wires coming from the control box (with the screws) don't seem to be different in ...

Have been at the switch with the WD40 as have that to hand (obviously!) - pulled up carpet around switch and sprayed - tried lights again and main beam switch still sending all lights off. boooooo How do i get to the connector ?- are we talking underneath the car underneath where the switch is screw...

Aah excellent, thank you PSL184 - will give that a go is this fairly easy to come by (halfords, motor world and the like?). Is it quite literally called "switch cleaner" ?!

takes dim lighting to a whole new level !!

Hello Everyone, Hoping someone can help me - was driving back last night in my 1956 Minor (Flossie) with lights on - fine, pressed main beam down - fine. after a few on and offs of the main beam whilst passing other drivers when i then went to turn it on again all my lights went out. EEEEEEK - no ot...

Hello there ! I have always insured my girl with RH Insurance - very well priced. My advice is to shop around as some insurers particularly like to insure minors - and some don't like to deal with drivers under 24/25 yrs for example. I am 28 and was horrified to see my annual insurance premium this ...

bit slow on the uptake here - but Flossie just been sprayed in OEW. I got it from HRG vehicle paints - in King's Lynn but they have a website - tel number 01553 773321

I have a redundant Morris Minor with either red door cards (his original) and other bits and/or a full set of light green seats - from a 2 door 1964 saloon. Can't post them but if you want to come and take them away you can do ! :D I can always be paid with a bottle of plonk :lol: Not bad condition ...

Excellent - thank you for those - I love nostalgia and morris minors aswell - simply heaven

She's back and looking BEAUTIFUL :D Bill (which funnily enough he has left in the car all ready for me - quick enough to do that one :lol: ) is £878 - electrics,strip down and prep then spray, mot and welding plus few extra bits needed. pretty good really although I rather fancy to say "oh bill...

:lol: Hee hee Dan_Harris - Will try and check for teeth sucking when he drops her off today. He is a friend of the family aswell so hoping he won't rob me - especially as he's had her so long. i never want to let her out of my sight again ! She has red seats (not bright red) with cream piping - curv...

He had her in sept to do the brakes and then i had her back for abit then had problems with her cutting out - then he had her back, and the electrics were a little dodgy (was only when i parked up at a garage near a police station and noticed i had half a headlight and one rear light working - :o ) ...

I wish ! Photo looks better than the reality. Previous owners had oversprayed and oversprayed without properly rubbing down and it was cracked and really pitted on the roof. not a total disaster but i thought she deserved to look at her most beautiful :D Back tomorrow after 7 months of my mechanic s...
