[quote Z31O5D1OFCY2O9DF] In the very early 1980s I bought a cheap Morris 1500 which turned out to have some undiagnosable disease in the hindquarters, as if the whole car was twisted. [/quote] Wonder what the problem was, DrJohn? They were BMC/BL Australia's most troublesome car; the gearbox warranty pretty well killed the company, but usually 1500s didn't give too much trouble in the rear as there's not much there. Sounds like it had a shunt and wasn't repaired too well.
