Really like a moggy



Needs a bit of fettling but won’t take too long

Oooh, lovely! I do love a half-timbered Moggie.

Just goes to show how much you can do to improve a ‘new to me’ car that seemed great at the time of purchase. Here’s what’s been done in the last few days.

The blowing exhaust has been removed and correctly refitted and now doesn’t blow

The listing suspension as been rectified much more easily than anticipated.

The pulling brakes sorted with new shoes, the old ones were contaminated with excess hub bearing grease.

The dim head lights were traced to a faulty earth and sidelights both now working

Axle and gearbox oils changed

Fit new air filter, plugs and check mixture

Drivers seat webbing replaced with new diaphragm

Petrol leak into carb sorted and carb exterior cleaned of grease and debris

Indicator fault traced to faulty relay, stalk bulb replaced and broken lens on order.

Ignition light not working traced to broken wire and sorted.

Couple more simple jobs to do and then it can be enjoyed and visually improved gradually.
- fit inertia seatbelt on passenger side
- grease the front suspension
- reset the tappets
- sort out the cable tied parcel shelf
