Hah! Now you tell me - after I have bought one from Rimmers.
Not sure the bearing ring is in a fit state. The whole donut (or Doughnut) is pretty shot!

No affiliation sure they are available more than just here https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=morris+marina+prop+shaft+bearing&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_odkw=morris+marina&_osacat=0&_sop=10&_oac=1 He’s local to me. Always stup...

Booked Kermit into the workshop to have the Trunnions and top joints done. Mechanic has indicated the new ones (Walfords) are wrong??? but stated nothing wrong with old ones so he has greased them up and tickled em! In doing so may have found the source of the knock I was hearing. Prop shaft support...

I am no Auto Electrician so most of my testing tends to be rather crude - but then that is why I like older cars! The relay looks after market or replacement. You might try bypassing the relay "very momentarily" (to prevent burning out contacts of stalk switch) to see if you get life into ...

Had a similar problem a few weeks back. My Marina has two flasher units. One for the indicators and one for the Hazards. Swapped over the units with each other and both worked but still could not get indicators to work. In the end after checking everything by eye got out my multimeter to find the pr...

Dunno what happened to my last post- supposed to be a reply to quote from Screaming Lord Stokes regarding damp!!!
Here's hoping got it right this time.

Have acquired some Walford Trunnions so when they arrive will get onto replacing the existing ones!
"Kermit the Flog" now has a little home to keep it a tad dryer.
As space is a little limited had to cobble one up from "Conduit"

A clunk only on the nearside is usually the steering rack bush. The original bushes wear and break up, the knocking is the end of the rack rod moving up and down inside the rack housing as the steering arm moves up and down following the suspension. Because the steering rack is mounted to the bulkh...

As I suspected Starter motor and Alternator dodgy on "Kermit the Flog". Removed and serviced by local Auto Factor and now back in. Kermit starts first clck! Also replaced the Rocker Cover gasket as it was leaking. No wonder, the cover was hardly screwed down and no gasket sealant present....

Looked solid from a quick glance but lots of knocks and dings.

There is a MK2/3 heated window switch on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264710099015?hash=item3da1f39047:g:7RgAAOxy79JRiG67 Managed to repair original and heated rear screen working - but forgot how slow the window demists compared to today's cars! Have also wired in a Ring 21 Watt reversing ligh...

Driving round darkest Suffolk last week came upon this!

I imagine someone knows about it.Was asked if I was interested in buying so presumably for sale?

Daughters boyfriend managed to write his car off so am lending him my day car. As a consequence Kermit is being used for daily commute. Noticed Battery was draining a bit so have fitted an isolator switch but suspect the Starter Motor is dodgy now! Have started to try to fix the Rear Window heater s...
