One slight problem I did notice that the IGN light is very very dim on idle and disappears with slight revs.
Cheers,
Jason | Hi Jason that is how it should work as at idle it isn't providing enough power to charge the battery but at as soon as you rev the light goes out as the charge is greater than the draw |
Thanks Grant, the C40 I orginally had in there the IGN light went out pretty much straight away at idle. So I thought that was standard. Cheers, Jason

Well I managed to get the Morrie back in one piece from the Wolseley National Touring Event. It didn't miss a beat for the whole week although, I did have a minor mishave where the wire came off the fuel pump halfway down Kessels road, lucky I could vear into a side street and fix it without causing traffic kaos.
The event was great and really enjoyed it, I did pack all my tools into the boot of the Morrie but didn't need them once, nor did anyone else for that matter.
Was great to meet a few new people, that weren't part of the event but turned up to say hello. Anyway here are a few morris related photos, if you would like to see some wolseley's check out the following link.

First day of rally saw Neil aka Chook on this forum come down and say hello. He has a nice little work van. Was great to meet you Neil.
side by side.
I can't remember for the life of me what this guys name was but he is part of the IVVVC club and came down to take a look. This was his first car and he has still got it. Great effort
Put the Morrie up for judging by the IVVVC, looks very pearly in this pic.
On the way out to Boonah, this guy was trying to keep up with the Morrie
In Convoy out to Wyaralong Dam, followed a little Wolseley Hornet most of the way
Reached a milestone on the way 1000 miles
Boonah Look out
On our way out to Gatton to check out the QLD transport Museum. Nice 6/80 following.
Came across these little guys on display at the museum.
Enjoy the photos, I will be putting the morrie up on stands and doing some maintance on her. Fixing oil leaks, also have to do a service drop oil etc.
Cheers,
Jason

Hey dazle,
Was a great week of motoring, the morrie hasn't left the shed since I have been back. I was only thinking about you the other day, as I hadn't seen you around. Not good about the health problems, take it easy mate and hope things turn around for you soon. Take care mate. Talk soon.
Cheers,
Jason

Hey Dazle,
At least you are still able to get around, and are not confined to home all the time. But as I imagine getting out of the car would be a big problem especially the amount the front doors on the Minor open up.
With the generator I ended up pulling an older one apart that I had on my shelf and rebuilding it with its armature. I haven't had any problems with it touch wood.
Gatton is about an hour and half away from the Coast via the Logan, Ipswich,Warrego Highways in a Modern car. 2 hours would easily get you there.
As for the Museum there are lots of trucks (~30 or so) on display, and a few other little displays amongst the big trucks. If you are interested in transport companies and big trucks it is worth a look they have a very nice coffee shop at the front. I am not sure what entry costs to the museum but it is a nice drive out in the country side, getting there.
Here is a link to more photos from the day.
