Morris Minor Owners Club

The car went round the block once - but there were no hills - it seems a gradient is our enemy in terms of cutting out! We managed about 6 miles before the first cut out and then about 200 yards each other time!

You know, i didn't even think to check the wipers - i'd assumed a place i'd used for a number of years would sort something that apparently simple out relatively easily - so that's my naivety's fault.

in terms of the fuel problem - first few times it restarts with full throttle, but by the 3rd time it won't restart at all - it just clunks the way a dead battery might. It nearly restarted with a bump start, but didn't quite make it.

We're based in Surbiton.

when it stops check the fuel bowl

the garage came back to collect her and now the outside of the fuel bowl is covered in petrol - as is the pipe into / from it - so they're going to see if that's a problem....

they restarted it using the starting handle - a skill i may need to get.

it appears that so called expert garages and minor specialists are failing to provide proper attention
better to get a local enthusiast to have a look they will also take more care
i have had my fair share of so called minor specialists but due to health problems can not do the big stuff myself any more
i am in east london some weekends

If it won't make repeated attempts to restart - it does indeed suggest your battery has reached the end of the line...... Hopefully the garage will get it right this time........
