First I noticed was when the brakes gave out as the pipes burnt through. It was an interesting few minutes... With the help of a couple of borrowed fire extinguishers & a showman working nearby, we managed to contain the fire to the back of the car but it was still written off _________________________ 3.7 Roadster 4" Ruston Procter SD Tractor

Wouldn't it be nice if Morgan told us what the **** is going on! Ian _________________________ 3.7 Roadster 4" Ruston Procter SD Tractor

SpeedMog Talk Morgan Enthusiast Registered: 02/09/06 Posts: 1694 Loc: Northwich, Cheshire	I heard from an industry source that the issue is not Morgan or Ford but actually a third party who Ford engaged to develop the ECU....and then failed to deliver...and continue to fail to deliver. There are plenty of the engines around and in stock.. Surprising as the name I was given is a well known tuner of Fords in the USA... _________________________ Phil Egginton "Think very carefully… because if you ever start, you will never leave it alone"

James Mc New to Talk Morgan Registered: 05/04/12 Posts: 22 Loc: Essex	Revolve is the company and as per my previous posts they supplied Auto ECUs. This has now been rectified and they have the manual spec ECUs going into the built cars as I type this. Shiremog. As you're just up the road from me you'll have to give me a peek at your shiney new car when it appears. Edited by James Mc (04/05/12 06:19 PM)
