Morris Minor Owners Club

Hello,
I am new here so please forgive my lack of knowledge. I have a Morris low light and when I purchased the car it did not have a radiator.
Can anyone tell me what radiator I can use in this car, please?

You will need to search for the specific radiator for that model.
It has a rather large water capacity (while being low-set in the car) to compensate for the fact that the side-valve engine did not (by it's design) have a water pump.
I'd imagine that someone in the Club may well have one that can be checked over and fitted: I think they have brass top and bottom tanks.

Heres a link to ESM which shows the radiator

There is currently one listed on ebay but its not the right one. When I bought my MM it had the wrong radiator fitted and it didnt hold enough water in the header tank and it over heated easily. I phoned around a lot of the specailist in Minor Matters and was lucky that Charles Wares had just broken a sidevale and the radiator though sold as untested was fine.

I know the link was only put up to show the radiator, but be aware that they only offer a reconditioning service to your own radiator for that price

I have one in Dorset, whereabouts are you located?

Although the rad core is the same size as the M1000, the top and bottom tanks are different and the hoses are on opposite sides to the M1000
Please PM me the details of your car so that I can add it to the register

Try to find a local radiator, and let him renew in the area.
I have one spare, and was starting for getting offers for changing the old block for a new, when I found a not leaking one.
I keep the spare, when the other one is going to leak, I put this one in it.
Find a leaking one is not a very big problem i think, and let him repair in your area by a radiator specialist is possible the best option.
