Under Tarka's Bonnet
Two Photos showing the installation of Wolf Performance Bonnet Stays on Tarka.
Photo 1 shows the bonnet held open
Photo 2 shows the Stay in its "parked" position.
Both photos give an idea of the tight packing needed to get a big V8 under the bonnet. They also show how the colour changes with the amount of and angle of light.
Photo 1 also shows the installation of the wiring for my Optimate 3 charger: the battery is possibly the most accessable item that actually needs no attention!
As before the stays were easy to install and do their job perfectly!

First, remove the bonnet - 2 screws.
Next remove the front cowls - 6 or 8 screws
Then remove the wings - 8 screws each side.
With the cowls and wings removed access to everything is very easy.
Taking the wings off and replacing takes 1.5 hours labour, according to Morgan. About 2/3 hours according to Lawrie. He claims it is possible to change the plugs without taking the wings off.
The seats might not be out this weekend but the wings could be off.  Now where are the stainless steel screws?   I've promised Laurie that if I leave all that stuff to him he will leave the driving to me!  Now that's a good deal! Just enjoy it!

We are stockist for the Wolf products.
My ears were burning so I thought I better come and have a look.
I love working on the Aero range, nothing to be scared about. Just like any Morgan, there's no rushing and plenty of care.

[quote=Spanner Juggler]Hi Peter
Fortunately plug change is at 100,000 miles. The 8 plugs cost about £100.00!
Changing the air filter used to mean taking the wings off, but on the Plus 8s they have provided a removable pannel in the flooe so it can be done easily with the car on a hoist.
If you want to test the resilience of your ticker then ask your favourite MB dealer for the cost of a service (with plugs and belts) on a CL65. Be seated and comfortable before asking. Then look at the plug cost alone as you outline. I nearly caved and went for the wooden box as an easy option. The longer they make them last the more evil the cost for the second owner !
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Probably the equivalent of the cost of buying a new Morgan!
