"you are able to answer a question without choosing to resort to baiting". I do try to most of the time, but I understand why some are more direct with their posts.
I think the point really is that, if the factory want to do something about it, they will, if not, they won't and no amount of handing the car back will sort it. As it happens I did return my car to the factory for its' 1000 miles service and they promised to set it up so that the bumpsteer issues weren't issues any longer. So I took a day off and trailered it up from Somerset, left it with them all week and went back to collect it at the end of the week. What they had done was to steal my Suplex dampers [my car was an early one] and instead leave me with a pair of Spax. At the time, not knowing any better, I thought it was part of the upgrade, at my request, they changed the lower wishbones and charged me £60 for the pleasure, although the wishbones were free, and assured me that it would steer as well as the car that Autocar tested. Sadly it did not, it was no better, no worse admittedly, and frankly the whole thing was a waste of time. Hence I feel I have given the factory a chance, and I would now rather sort out the problem myself, with the help of others of course, because suspension geometry is a very complex subject. Several others here have also done the same thing, and I supsect for similar reason.
I feel very frustrated by the lack of help or recognition by the factory, and as this is the first car I have had from Morgan, I don't really know if this is par for the course or unusual because it is a new model, however, over the years I have had a lot to do with Caterham, an even smaller company, and have always found everyone I dealt with there to be more than helpful in all the dealings I had with them. That is my main comparison, as I can't compare MMC with a BMW main dealer or a Toyota dealer for example, but even they are not able to answer all the questions.
To be perfectly honest, whilst I am tempted by a 4 wheeler in my dotage, if this is typical of the service I could expect, I'm not sure I would have the patience to deal with it, hence my post elsewhere about the advantages between new and s/h cars.
