Morris Minor Owners Club

After an amazing effort by Ray and Mike, the car won't be ready for the rally after all.

Failed MOT last Wednesday on:
NSF wheel bearing
OSR brake cylinder seized
NSR indicator not working [worked before taking to test]
Two tyres needed replacing

It was all sorted by mid Friday evening........

On bleeding the brakes, the OSR pipe sprayed fluid out just missing Ray's hot chocolate.

Oh what a disappointment after so much effort on their part to source bearings [not standard MM] etc.

ReMOT was due 11.30 Sat am

On top of that I've injured my back. Got 'engine - bay - back' !!

Was really looking forward to camping with Mike and Maurice. Feel bad to have let him down after all the help he has given.
But I can't risk getting cold and sleeping on a different surface to my normal bed. I know that from experience.

But at least the pipe leaked then, rather than when I was driving and who knows what could have happened.

Ordered brake pipes and hose for good measure.

Fit and reMOT this week.

Looking for the next rally. I hope this one goes really well [wonder if public transport could get me there....]

A great day and a great venue spoilt by the weather. Some very high quality cars on show today which made the judging very tough.

spraying hot oil all over the engine bay.

Is that why some MM's have lasted so well? ;-)
