Hello from Spain, I have had my first Morgan, a new plus4,just a year now and am wondering if anyone out there has noticed a drop in quality control or customer service from Morgan recently. The car was delivered with an enormous number of faults, the steering was incredibly stiff with a loud screech every time the wheel was turned, this was due to plastic lugs binding on the steering column and had to be ground off. The fan rattled alarmingly when it cut in, this was due to it not being screwed in correctly,the engine, usually at the end of a run, when put into neutral,would suddenly rev up to 6000 rpm on it's own and could only be corrected by switching off the engine and restarting, this turned out to be, eventually, a split vacuum pipe. The right hand indicator would not cancel. On doing my first grease up, one of the 45 degree nipples came apart having stripped the thread. The paintwork lifted around the LH headlamp and split as well as on the top rear brake light holder and now driving back through France last week the speedometer packed up, it blows the 5amp dash fuse and the over revving which I thought had been cured has come back. I have e-mailed Morgans several times as did the garage I put the car into whilst I was in England (for a service) but trying to get a reply from them is like trying to get blood out of a stone. For €62,000 I could have bought 3 Mazda MX5's. Has anyone else out there experienced similar problems or are these things normal with a 'hand' built car.
Join the club ! It does give a lovely overall feeling of being 'done over' by a company that doesn't care.
