Potential Problem....
Potential Problem....
Today, I've inadvertently worked on my Morris Traveller whilst wearing my Austin hat. Will bad things happen or am I covered by BMC immunity?

Not entirely sure the Moggie's woodworm will show much respect for that Austin badge!!

I might suggest adding a splash of Rentokill to the water next time you wash the Moggie . . . ?

What you been doing to it Chris?
Re: Potential Problem....
Just a bit of fettling for the season Sam, clutch adjustment, shiny new grille panel. and a bit of Lanoguard. A40 next - new engine I think. Always had low oil pressure, but rattling its mains off when you start it up now. Shame as it ticks over and runs so sweetly.

Re: Potential Problem....
Have you found an engine for the A40?
Re: Potential Problem....
Not yet Sam, but do have a couple of leads to follow up.
Re: Potential Problem....
I had an old MkI Cortina auto years back, it was up on bricks and I paid £10 for it. The bearings rattled away when you went around corners, all it needed was time for the oil to catch up and sweet as a nut to drive. Used it for 3 years until the body rotted away, cheapest car I ever owned. Once the oil gets to do it's work they go for ages the old ones. Todays motors stop instantly if they get a bit of dust in a sensor.
