Now that Morgan has been producing three wheelers for a while, have there been any factory updates/modifications integrated/planned into the more recently produced cars. From reading the posts on TM, it looks as though there are some concerns. Also, how many have thus far left the factory?

Loud bevelbox is replaced by a silent one
Further more: engine needs perfect break in procedure Black finish on exhaust shields is no longer available After delivery: check the wheel alignment
What other concern other than those by the vehicle's nature Mine has a 1000miles and feels better and better
From next month I have to commute to my office: 3whlr will do most of it

Don't forget, its a motorcycle engine, not a car engine. Most, if not all, new motorcycle engines need running in.

I have also read about undesirable steering kickback as well as inaccurate fuel gages but none of these issues have really caused such problems that I have worried about them much.
On one of the more recent videos they say over 150 have been delivered but I am sure that number is further up there by now.

Interesting to see that the Owners Handbook says very little on the break in. Rev. limit by ECU and oil and filter change at first service seems to be the only issues. Interesting that "Items Needing Special Attention" is Extensive idling and/or low-speed driving for long distances. (= oil and filter change every 3000 miles)
In other words - don´t worry - race on!!!!!!!!!!
I have just passed 4 800 km (3000) miles and have no intention to change oil until after summer. 6 liters of oil and still looks as new! Could well be reused in my old truck. ________________ Stig

Mine has just had the rev limit removed at about 850 miles, still not blitzing the revs too much but the extra revs certainly open up a new level of performance... Scheduled to return to the factory for its first service shortly.  Brian
