What's this all about?

I have now owned my Morris Minor for 10 years. When I aquired her she was in bits so I embarked on a long and endless journey of education about these wonderful cars - with the aid of my Dad and various other Morris Minor enthusiasts who are always willing and eager to work on the fabulous cars! I have much experience of using the various publications on offer when carrying out maintenance/repairs on Moffy. They have included the ever popular 'Haynes Manual', the Morris Minor 1000 Workshop Manual, and the Glovebox edition of the Handbook. But all of these don't seem to include stuff I have needed to fix/break/cry over during the years. Also they can be quite difficult to follow for a lay person who isn't a mechanic in their spare time! So I have finally got round to doing this webblog that will hopefully serve to provide information/source of amusement to anyone who is having similar problems with their MM with details and photos as I go about maintaining/improving(hopefully) Moffy.

Clankty Clank

Well, just to prove there never is a dull moment in the life of a moggy owner I couldn't even get the next 'here's one I repaired earlier' post up before something else needs looking at!

I went to visit some friends at the weekend and on the way down (just to distract from the fun of finally getting a go with the Sat Nav me and my sisters got for christmas) there was an ominous new clanky noise from the Ps side/rear of my car. The cause: a clamp that holds the exhaust pipe up broke (well, rusted really) and the exhaust was merrily jiggling around on top of the rear axle!

So made the journey back with a sturdy (?!?) piece of string holding it up am just off to search the web page of Bull Motif and perhaps take a trip over there for some advice tomorrow. Hopeully will be able to get this seen to and the 'HOIRE' post up by Tuesday.
