Morris Minor Owners Club

i think roger should lead the convoy im bringing myrtle i think her diff is getting tyred getting whiny when you apply power should i worry theres plenty of oil in there

I think you should lead Dale, I draw the line at following an MG

I'll follow on behind at a safe distance.

Actually, its brought back the enjoyment of owning a classic, but I've noticed that Morris Minor owners don't wave back!!!

i dont know the way i could send you anywere shall i try some moly slip in the diff,i just want it to hang on for another month

Take the prop shaft joint off (mark the flanges first so it goes back on same place) -and check the nut on the input flange is tight! If not - tighten it. Moly will do no harm.

I'm a great believer in Activ8

Or - banana skins have been suggested in the past, or was it the complete banana ??

Have you ever tried Activ8, and then been glad that you did? I have

ive baught some molly now is active 8 a similar product then bill

Have a look at their site Dale.

Hmmm - sounds like I could do with a teaspoonful of that every morning! Maybe I'll just stick with my banana.

Edit - I notice it 'bonds ... at over 50 degC...' - so not much use in gearbox or diff where these temps will not be realised!

Dont worry too much Dale as whiny diffs tend to last a long time and many moggies have a certain amount and unless its getting really loud it should be OK.

I agree with Bill and MG only stands for Morris Garages anyway.
Bill I have heard good things about Activ 8 but is it suitable for diff's as I thought it was only for engines and gearboxes.

I use it in my diff as well, but I feel sure that it helped save my engine when returning from this years LEO run. I hadn't checked the oil at Carlisle and when I got on the M6 the engine started to tighten up as the oil was below Min. Just topped it up and carried on
