Hi Gang, I dyed some webbing once using a dye from a local shop in my washing machine. It worked ok and I ran the washing machine through its cycle a couple of times to clean it as I wear white shirts for work, the machine was ok afterwards. The only prob. was that the items have to be handled when wet, they advise using rubber gloves to handle the items, well I didn't have any so for the next week I was going round with green hands like a short version of the Jolly Green Giant :shocked:. I also left a handkerchief in the machine when the webbing was dyed so I now have a green hankie. Regards, John.

Looks like you have a job on your hands there, good luck. The hobby needs all the Morris vehicles we can find. If you need a manual then let me know your address. Regards, John.

Hello mate, Two thoughts come first to mind, can you lift any of the valves from the top using something pointed, this would denote broken valve or spring. Second thought have you let the timing slip? Regards, John.

And not a moment too soon. Long overdue.

I think I prefer Tootallmike's weather report! :-D Regards, John.

Hi Gang, I'm on the 2300 sailing out of Dover Thursday, hope the weather picks up, I find it hard enough to find the holding area in Calais docks where we sleep Thursday night when it's dry never mind having to peer through the rain with WW2 windscreen wipers! :shake: Regards, John.

What can one usefully add! :sweat: Regards, John.

Hi Tony, That's a kind thought. If anyone could drop it off for me The Bell Inn, Hythe, Kent will always find me. Regards, John.

At risk of being spanked by the BOSS (that might be fun) I think the guy has spelled his name wrong, Wang should be Wanger with a K in place of the G. Regards, John.

Hi Gang, The box on Bertha is a VW Camper box part no. FE 655W, hope this helps. Regards, John.

I was there and I've been this height for years :cry: Regards, John.

Hi Gang, Bertha is no. 3 on your list and I don't have a problem with you posting it, the more the merrier. Regards, John.:wave:

Hi Grumpys, I was born old and miserable and have endeavored to live my life in a similar manner, do I qualify as a G O M ? Could we have a G O M smiley or is that a contradiction of terms. Regards, John.

I second that, jolly well done. :yay::yay::yay::clap::clap::clap: Regards, John.

Hi Mike, Having just read my post again I see I have put oil filter whereas I should have written air filter. Regards, John.

Happy Birthday, bit late but I hope you had a good one. Regards, John.

Hi Mike, Inside the oil filter body which you gain access to by removing the retaining bolt in the center on the top, there is a filler mark. fill with engine oil to this mark. If you contact Jack, he has a copy of the Morris w/shop manual which I sent him so you should be able to download it, failing that, send me your address and I will mail you a copy. With regard to the ignition warning light, it should come on when you turn on the ignition and go out when you start the engine. Regards, John.

It could be tappets or main bearings. :idea: Regards, John.

Think of the road tax I'm saving on this lot ; they're all exempt :laugh::laugh: Regards, John.

That's where I first met Radar and yes it is a great vehicle. Regards, John.

Hi Jack, IMPS website, click on events, click on Bethune and scroll down to bottom. Regards, John.
