Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi there.
I’ve just completed a 300 road trip and Molly behaved impeccably.
However by the time I got back she had a marvellous V8 roar from the exhaust. I assumed a hole or leaking down pipe clamp but all is ok. Blocking the end of the pipe stops the engine almost immediately.
A mystery to me so would value any suggestions. I don’t mind her sounding like a Rover P6 but clearly something is amiss!
Cheers
Charlie

I would suggest that you have lost some or all of the exhaust silencer packing.

Thanks Phil. I was worried I had an engine prob but the Goldseal recon has only done 25k
I always appreciate your advice.
