has anyone suffered a radiator failure on a radiator which had been replaced already? I have, and wonder how widespread this is.

Robbie, do you mean post the full upgrade with swirlpot etc ?

Pre-upgrade I know of 3 local owners who are on their 3rd & 4th rads

I know of a German customer on his 7th!

Yes Rad changed about6 months ago and swirl pot about 3 months ago then new leak ( puddle on garage floor) last week!!!

Really sorry to hear this, just as I was thinking about upgrading my Roadster for a CX, I think I give it a miss for a while.

If this continues beyond warranty, it will become a real problem. I think it will be a while before we can say the radiator issues are resolved. Let's face it, the Trads have a similar issue with plastic tanks, but these rads are much easier to replace.

Check pipework, it might not be the rad.
It seems strange that one owner has had 7 rads and some are still on their first?
Maybe a bad batch from the supplier might explain it? Same scenario as the brakes?
When you make so few cars a year, small problems get amplified.

Had mine back yesterday after a repair. Told this is version 3 ? & latest version of the rad.
service girl told me they have two customers with early cxs', on this latest radiator, who do big mileages & no problems so far.


Mar'22 CX, ice blue, alloys, manual.😁

Our Plus 6 is also in for a replacement Rad, it had the swirl pot fitted with the brake recall previously, but it was still on its original Rad. The car is a bit of sleeper and we have covered more milage this Autumn than it did over 2 years, so I believe we are just seeing the problems that should have showed up years ago. I have also been told the Rad going in is the latest variant.. Time will tell if this is the final fix.. I hope to hell Morgan cover the rads once the warranty expires ( in our case very soon ) as the Radiator saga does not yet seem completely over.

Agreed I had a multitude of very minor leaks from hoses after fitting new rad to my Classic. Eventually just one remained on bottom hose extension no matter how tight and what position hose clamp was in. Doubled up on clamps in that area and haven't lost a drop since.

Footnote: silicon hoses seem to be more susceptible to such leaks compared to rubber.
