The rest of you can talk among yourselves...
Just been speaking to Mike (mikemids) about some issues he has been having with the Morris. I thought i could answer them easy enough, but not, so referred to the manual. Book no. 101/ML5A. Only to find I havent printed out the necessary bits and I dont know where the disc is!
Mike has only been getting about 6 miles to the gallon on his C8, I would have expected about 12mpg. That seems a little excessive, even for a Morris! Could it be a carb overhaul is needed? very expensive option. He said he had been running it without an air filter as it wouldnt start with it fitted. I would say this would be the cause of the excessive fuel consumption unless anyone has any other ideas. If so, why wont it start with the air filter on? Anyone else come across this?
The little red light stays on, on his switch panel, why? Mine has never lit up in its life.
Lastly 4 wheel drive operation. Correct me if Im wrong, but Ive not had chance to delve in this yet as mine only drives in and out of the workshop! C8 is permanent 4wd in 1st and reverse from what I recall. The lever near the gearstick is the knock out lever to take it out of 4wd? Can someone explain the operation of this?
PS Mike needs a copy of the 101?ML5a manual if anyone can volunteer him a copy.
