Thanks for your advice, David, spot-on.

I have now fitted a new rear-door lock and fuel-gauge sender gasket. I had a look this morning and you were right about where the smell of petrol was coming from, it had leaked all over that area, the recess was very wet. I dried the area carefully afterwards and took the little gem for a run up and down a few hills with a full tank. When I got back the recess was still dry although I dare say the petrol smell will linger for a while.

You were also spot-on about the cost. :)

You see, that's why I'm on here, all this expertise available for the asking. :D

Thanks again,

:lol:

They will fit 2 door saloons but not 4 door

Traveller, convertible & 2 door saloon doors are the same also 4 door saloon, van & pick-up doors are shorter.

Welcome attibrutal -

You have great taste in cars for one so young. It's encouraging to know that younger owners are getting involved which will help keep these lovely cars going for a long while into the future.

All the best and have fun with your Minor,

:)
